100 Hymns Everyone Should Learn

80. To God be the glory – Fanny J. Crosby, 1875

But purer, and higher, and greater will be
our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

79. Hymn of Promise – Natalie Sleeth, 1986

In our end is our beginning;
in our time, infinity;
in our doubt there is believing;
in our life, eternity.
In our death, a resurrection;
at the last, a victory,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.

78. Come, ye sinners, poor and needy – Joseph Hart, 1759

Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome,
God’s free bounty glorify;
true belief and true repentance,
every grace that brings you nigh.

77. Savior of the nations, come – Martin Luther, 1523; trans. William Reynolds, 1851

Marvel now, O heaven and earth,
that the Lord chose such a birth.

76. Come, we that love the Lord – Isaac Watts, 1707

Let those refuse to sing
who never knew our God;
but children of the heavenly King
may speak their joys abroad.

75. Jesus, lover of my soul – Charles Wesley, 1740

Thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee

74. Lead on, O King eternal – Ernest W. Shurtleff, 1887

For not with swords loud clashing,
nor roll of stirring drums;
with deeds of love and mercy
the heavenly kingdom comes.

73. Lo, he comes with clouds descending – Charles Wesley, 1758

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Everlasting God, come down?

72. Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire – Charles Wesley, 1740

Expand thy wings, celestial Dove,
brood o’er our nature’s night;
on our disordered spirits move,
and let there now be light.

71. O Jesus, I have promised – John E. Bode, c. 1866

And Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
my Master and my Friend.
