So, whats everyone's favourite hymns?? I have decided in my case its a tie between "All Things Bright and Beautiful" (due to the overall simplicity of the tune and lyrics but mostly the presence of the hilarious line "the purple headed mountain"), and "At the Name of Jesus" because it infers that God Himself enjoyed the antics of Chris Tarrant and Sally James by the inclusion of the line "Tiswas Father pleasure, we should call him Lord" ..... magnificent....
Does anyone out there have a favourite? "Onward Christian Soldiers" for Shiny for example.
PS - These are the lengths one has to go to to keep the dying embers of what was once a proud board alive... I see myself as like that bloke in Silent Running who lives in the space greenhouse

'Abdoulaye my Lord' is a fine hymn.

The Owl and the Pussycat was my fave as a kid but went off owls as they're crap. I know a cracking owl sanctuary though

Hate all hymns, they're wank wank wank.
Hated being forced to sing them at school and even more so at funerals / weddings; it's simply the most uncomfortable situation ever!

One springs to mind actually. When the children got asked to pick a hymn at school, it was only ever going to be [HASH]6, "shalom".
It's all over quicker than a me in bed with Rachel Riley; This isit in its entirety...
Shalom, my friend,
Shalom, my friend,
Shalom, shalom,
May peace and joy be with you today,
Shalom, shalom.
Content poor, length amazing.

Hateiall hymns, they're wank wank wank. Hated being forced to sing them at school and even more so at funerals / weddings; it's simply the most uncomfortable situation ever! Surely being stuck in a compact lift with 7 oily, Greek sailors is a more uncomfortable situation that being forced to sing hyms? |

I really don't like hymns Some hymns are ok and some not so good. Some I really don't have time for. Would rather have a nice biscuit or some toast that sing hymns |

As a borderline anti-theist I have a rather intense dislike for religion but hearing certain hymns definitely takes me back to a weird cosy place in my head, I imagine much like when those suffering Alzheimer's recognise and old song being played to them.
Jerusalem is definitely one that does that. Harvest season hymns too for some reason, "blackberries in the hedges, are growing ripe and good" (something like that)
The one below wasn't around when I was still at school but I remember my youngest brother coming home from school singing it and thinking what the fook!

Alexandra Burke's rendition of Hallelujah was absolutely the dog bollocks.
