Today I am grateful for hymns. I love the richness of the old hymns; much of the time taken right from Scripture. Don't misunderstand I am not against modern praise and worship music at all. I love all music and believe it is a gift of God. But I hate to see us lose so much history; there has already been too much of that in the past. I don't appreciate our hymns being left out of worship services just because they are old. To some they may be old but to me they are timeless. Check this out Amazing Grace was written by John Newton in 1779, How Great Thou Art by Carl Gustav Boberg written in 1885, Holy, Holy, Holy by Reginald Heiber written in 1826, and Peace Like A Rive by Horacio Spafford, written in 1873. I could go on but I think I've got my point across. If you have never heard these hymns you can find them on YouTube and I suggest you do so.
Thank You God for the hymns that speak so well of Your faithfulness to us and give us such rich history.
