On Hymns

I am so thankful for the poetry, theologically sound doctrine, and music that most hymns provide; they revitalize and invigorate my soul.

I enjoy the euphonious and mellifluous tunes which sink deeply into my spirit. Even if I don’t know the tune to a hymn, I still let the words speak to my heart and mind, for hymns remind me of who God is, rather than who I am.

Here are some of my favourite hymns:

“Great Is Thy Faithfulness” – words by Thomas O. Chisholm, music by William M. Runyan

“How Great Thou Art” – words and music by Stuart K. Hine

“It Is Well With My Soul” – words by Horatio G. Spafford, music by Philip P. Bliss
