I have oh so many, but I think I especially love "Ode to Joy".
"Joyful, joyful, we adore thee, God of Glory, Lord of Love, hearts unfold like flowers before thee, opening to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away. Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day.
All thy works with joy surround thee, earth and heaven reflect thy rays, stars and angels sing around thee, center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea, chanting bird and flowing fountain, call us to rejoice in thee."But a couple of close seconds would have to be "How Great Thou Art" and "This is my Song" (verses one and two).
What are your favorite hymns, if any?
