Booth, Pamela This popular worship song is a response to God’s call for us to worship, to live for him, and to share his love. This hymn was written in 1865 by Cardinal John Henry Newman and comes from his “Dream of Gerontius”. Most famously used by Edward Elgar in his oratorio of the same name as the soul of the old man, Gerontius, crosses the threshold of death into purgatory.

The hymnal was compiled by Geoffrey Marshall-Taylor with musical arrangements by Douglas Coombes, and includes well-known hymns such as “ Give me oil in my lamp”, “ Water of life”, " The building song" and " All things bright and beautiful]". Yes, while of course there were times that we’d much rather have been at home than school and the school dinners often left a lot to be desired - “soggy semolina, soggy semolina” anyone? - there were also plenty of things to enjoy. I sang many of these hymns at my infants school between 1979 and 1982. Our Morning Assembly was held in the school hall three times every week. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. I have vivid and powerful memories of us singing these songs with a projector projecting the words on a big screen so we could all sing them. Our teacher bashing the piano and invariably telling us to sing a lot louder as God would just not hear us. This 'Come And Praise' hymn book was central to the collective worship at my school - right up until I left in 1985 when the last hymn we sung together was 'One More Step'. These two books were published by BBC Active (an imprint of Education Publishers, Pearson Education Group) so that listeners to the BBC's school radio assembly programme "Together" could join in the singing.All the nations of the earth, praise the Lord who brings to birth / Let the heavens praise the Lord Brenton Brown wrote the words of this worship song after being diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. After praying and reflecting on Isaiah 40, verses 28 to 31, he found courage and felt God’s support and that message is echoed in his text. I can even recall when I first began to experience or to see God. I must have been aged about six and, as we sang 'Sing Hosanna', I became aware of God near me and also in my mind. I felt such an overwhelming sense of joy and happiness. It was wonderful. And magical. Like a dream but real. Like this great big mystery had been revealed to me. I began to see God quite clearly and, after the hymn had finished, I simply wanted to worship what I had seen. While not quite as upbeat as some of the other anthems on the list, this is still very much a classic and one we've definitely all sang at some point! 12. Who Put The Colours in The Rainbow? Perhaps the most famous and widely used of all the paraphrases of Psalm 23, this hymn, known as Crimond, is constantly being used at both weddings and funerals and tells of God being with us wherever we are. The tune “Crimond” was written by Jessie Seymour Irvine who was the daughter of a priest who served for a time at Crimond-the-Town.

This song of adoration and praise describes God as both a powerful lion fighting our battles and as a lamb slain for the sins of the world. Remember singing about wanting oil in your lamp to keep you burning, praising, loving and serving? 5. Colours of Day And it's from the old I travel to the new, keep me travelling along with you." Think that's all we need to say really. Another hymn that is fully deserving of its place on our list. 7.

This is a contemporary Christian worship song by Keith and Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend. The lyrics invite all to join together and celebrate as our praise is directed towards our ever-faithful God.A popular contemporary setting of Psalm 23, Stuart Townend says he wrote it in about 10 minutes! He highlights a lot of “Movement” imagery (walking, leading, following) which speaks to him of an active response of faith to what the psalmist is saying. A collaboration by two contemporary hymn writers inspired by Matthew 21, the description of Jesus’s triumphant ride into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and the worship he inspired in those who saw him. Horatius Bonar was a 19th Century Scottish priest. In his day, people tended to sing almost exclusively metrical psalms and so Bonar set out to write a number of simpler hymns, particularly aimed at young people. This hymn is his most famous. The tune has been set to various different tunes, but the folk song tune “Kingsfold” has become the most popular. The inspiration behind this worship song by Laura Story was the beauty of creation and John, Chapter 3 Verse 8. The song was given greater exposure when it was recorded by Chris Tomlin in 2004. This contemporary worship song with a distinctive Irish melody, was the first collaboration from Stuart Townend and Keith Getty. Its theme is the life, death and resurrection of Christ.
