When they glorify the Lord and are to worship and adore Him that's what is important! We were concerned also that the younger generation wouldn't know the older hymns so we make sure they are sung at every service! To God be all the glory!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06627695045799877008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465855895300426865.post-75300029016032676132013-02-10T10:51:42.609-05:002013-02-10T10:51:42.609-05:00Hi, I am visiting from Pamela's blog.

I am so thrilled that you stopped by again. It has been awhile since I read one of your posts. I really love your blog.<br /><br />Hymns mean so much to me. I realized when my older children were 5 and 7 that they didn't even know Trust and Obey. Hymns weren't being sung in our church anymore. <br />We got a couple hymn books and started singing hymns. We now go to a church that treasures the hymns.<br /><br />I think a wonderful addition would be a link to the music for the hymns as many who read your blog may not know how a particular hymn goes (sad but true.)<br /><br />Have a blessed day!!<br />Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303626433109140676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465855895300426865.post-79975825905354757562013-02-06T04:51:21.023-05:002013-02-06T04:51:21.023-05:00I love hymns, too.

We sang hymns in the car and harmonized together. I love playing the piano and singing hymns for the people at the nursing home where my mother lives. Thanks for this lovely post.<br />Blessings,<br />GailGail Griner Golden at Gail-Friends https://www.blogger.com/profile/07469105278094584005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465855895300426865.post-72913038715624307252013-02-02T14:36:11.198-05:002013-02-02T14:36:11.198-05:00I agree 100% about the Hyms being timeless.

I think we're kindred spirits!<br /><br />I <i>love</i> hymns, for many of the reasons that you have offered. They are so rich with meaning, so full of depth. We sing them in our church fellowship. My youngest daughter and I sing and memorize hymns in our homeschool. She learns to play hymns on the piano. My middle daughter also loves hymns and writes about them often on her blog. And we are longtime fans of Cyber Hymnal. :) I am not familiar with the other sited that you referenced, so I will be sure to check them out. <br /><br />I have enjoyed my visit here this morning!

This means a lot as recently I was trying to find the tune to a hymn that another blogger had provided the words for and had great difficulty finding. The pastor wanted to use the hymn for the first Sunday in January and so I was on a mission. It all came out in the end though I would have loved knowing about this then. <br /><br />The worship team uses old hymns along with the new. This represents a distinct shift from the period of time when worship songs were sung exclusively. I like what E.E. says about the hymns teaching theology. They certainly do.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465855895300426865.post-54248011731359457412013-01-31T09:32:08.935-05:002013-01-31T09:32:08.935-05:00Thank you so much!!!
