If I could add a Hymn...

If you had the opportunity to add one of your favorite hymns to the current list of hymns within the Hymn Book of the Church which one would you choose and why?

Hymn add I If

Definitely 'Where Can I turn for Peace' I LOVE that songs, every time I hear it, it touch my heart so deeply, specially in those days when I feel down.

QUOTE
"Where Can I turn for peace,
Where is my solace when other sources cease to make me whole.
When with a wounded heart, anger, or malice,
I draw myself apart, searching my soul.

Where, when my aching grows,
Where when I languish,
Where, in my need to know, where can I run?
Where is the quiet hand to calm my anguish?

Who, who can understand
He, only One.
He answers privately,
Reaches my reaching,

In my Gethsemane, Savior and Friend
Gentle the peace he finds for my beseeching.
Constant he is and kind
Love without end." (LDS Hymns, #129 - Where Can I Turn for Peace)


This is a great hymn, not only because of the personal struggles we face each day but it's a great song about forgiveness if you analyze the words. smile.gif

I would want to add 'Amazing Grace', it speaks to many and turned their life around for good.

Here I am Lord
Words and Music by Daniel L Schutte
copyright 1981

[b]I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin,
My hand will save.

Chorus
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.
I, who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?

Chorus
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.
I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne my people's pain.
I have wept for love of them.
They turn away.

Chorus
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.
I will break their hearts of stone,
Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my words to them.
Whom shall I send?

Chorus
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.
I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will send the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them.
My hand will save.

Chorus
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.
Finest bread I will provide,
'Til their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them.
Whom shall I send?

Chorus
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.


If you go to https://my.homewithgod.com/heavenlymidis/so...gbook/here.html you will find the words I pasted above. You can also hear the music which I really thinks adds to it significantly.

This is a hymn I sang while attending Catholic Mass and one of my favorites. I really think it says it all.

I have always wondered why Amazing Grace is not in the Hymn book. It's such a lovely song with a great message.

It was only last year that I realized that Amazing Grace is not in the hymn book, I just presumed that it was. The words are really touching.
My favorite part is:
"I once was lost but now am found,
was blind but now I see"
