Fether Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 What are your favorite doctrinal lines found in hymns we sing at church and why? Both primary and congregational, "deep" or Inspirational. Some of my favorites: "Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven."- Praise to the Man "Brightly beams our Father’s mercy From his lighthouse evermore, But to us, he gives the keeping Of the lights along the shore. Let the lower lights be burning; Send a gleam across the wave. Some poor fainting, struggling seaman You may rescue, you may save."- Brightly Beams our father's Mercy "Hell's foundation quivers at the shout of praise."- Onward Christian Soldiers "Temptations lose their power When thou art nigh"- I need thee every hour Sunday21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my two cents Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Father, Mother, may I meet you In your royal courts on high? Then, at length, when I've completed All you sent me forth to do, With your mutual approbation Let me come and dwell with you. - Oh, My Father Why: So rare to have Mother in Heaven mentioned or included Edited April 24, 2017 by my two cents Sunday21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edspringer Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 “Now let us rejoice”, # 3 3rd verse “Then all that was promised the Saints will be given,And they will be crown'd with the angels of heav'n,And earth will appear as the Garden of Eden,And Christ and his people will ever be one”.

Guest Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I'm sure If You could Hie to Kolob has some and it's my favorite hymn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroTypical Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Praise to the man - one of the few hymns that get my blood pumping. The doctrinal surety that the work is not done at death, that we will see our loved ones again. Lead, Kindly Light - I discovered this one only a short while ago, and have been ticked off ever since. Church, y u no play this to me for 40 years? I need all the reminding I can get that even a sinner like me has a path to walk, lit by a kindly light. Abide with me, Tis Eventide - because apparently I like tearing up all the time. Finding a way to welcome the blanket of the ending of life - I mean, a scripture escapes me, but there's probably half a dozen general conference talks that address the issue. I absolutely love the Hie To Kolob Dubstep remix. The only problem is, it hasn't been created yet. This is the closest I have, and it's waaay too technopoppy with an unforgivable dearth of bass. Come on musicians - you don't even need to be LDS to want this one. The notion that there is no end to increase is poorly understood, but I think this song understands it pretty well. Oh- and of course, it's hard to find a single sung verse in this song that isn't a mini-doctrinal discourse on the life of Jesus: Edited April 24, 2017 by NeuroTypical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie123 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I don't know if the LDS use this hymn by John E. Bode (or even if the sentiments would be agreed with) but: Oh, let me feel Thee near me; The world is ever near;I see the sights that dazzle, The tempting sounds I hear;My foes are ever near me, Around me and within;But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer, And shield my soul from sin. (Often the worst foes are the ones "within".) Just_A_Guy and Sunday21 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just_A_Guy Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) "He lives--and I shall conquer death". Anywhere outside of a church, this would immediately be dismissed as the words of a crazy person. And yet . . . Also: "Change and decay, in all around I see. O, thou who changest not--abide with me!"

bytebear Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 The Spirit of God... my favorite line is "the veil o'er the Earth is beginning to burst". but the lyrics overall are so powerful, and how can you not love a good Hosanna shout?

Guest Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 1. High on the mountain top A banner is unfurled. Ye nations, now look up; It waves to all the world. In Deseret's sweet, peaceful land, On Zion's mount behold it stand! 2. For God remembers still His promise made of old That he on Zion's hill Truth's standard would unfold! Her light should there attract the gaze Of all the world in latter days. 3. His house shall there be reared, His glory to display, And people shall be heard In distant lands to say: We'll now go up and serve the Lord, Obey his truth, and learn his word. 4. For there we shall be taught The law that will go forth, With truth and wisdom fraught, To govern all the earth. Forever there his ways we'll tread, And save ourselves with all our dead.
