Any hymn singers out there?
The Minister is coming tonight and we have to have our wedding hymns finalised. We need four and have got three - we need a good opening hymn. Our others are A New Commandment, Be still for the presence of the Lord and we are finishing with Majesty.
This is our shortlist and our reasons against them:-
I, the Lord of Sea and Sky - not sure the words are suitable
Lord for the Years - Dp says it sounds like a cross between Land of Hope and Glory and Onward Christian Soldiers
I am a new Creation - we only have an organ and I think it's more suitable for a group
Dear Lord and Father of Mankind - dp thinks the tune is 'drab' and I'm not sure about the words, but it is a lovely hymn
Tell out my Soul - I love it but dp thinks it's a hard tune to sing if you aren't familiar with it.
Any opinions or any new suggestions? On the whole we prefer more 'modern' hymns but are a bit limited as we only have an orgon and no group, so a lot are ruled on on that count.
