As posts are added to this site, it seems speaking of hymns has been a most enjoyable topic to get started with. Please consider visiting any of the following posts which hopefully are clearly enough written to describe, by way of introduction, what I find so interesting and challenging about this topic of "hymns":
Just a Closer Walk... - as referenced in the "Intro" post, along with a songsheet.
I Heard the Bells... - with songsheet
What A Friend... - with songsheet
Be Still My Soul... - with songsheet
Hymn Carols... - with songsheets for thirteen familiar ones
Though it was not planned as such, it seems so fitting that given the newness of this site that so many of the hymns I have been drawn to have related to the Advent season and the start of the Christian year.... What better place to start, and in time - for hymns - more to be added....
