Favorite Hymns

A recent survey of BBC radio listeners has identified ten top hymns as follows:

1. And Can It Be?
2. Great is Thy Faithfulness
3. Amazing Grace
4. Love Divine
5. O For a Thousand Tongues
6. How Great Thou Art
7. Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer
8. One More Step
9. Be Thou My Vision
10. To God be The Glory

A blog that I read regularly, The Thinklings, has included a post referencing the BBC poll and listing the favorite hymns of one of their members. I enjoyed the comments and lists being generated as a result enough to want to bring it to your attention, also. I attempted to narrow my own favorite hymns down to just ten and decided that it was impossible. Listed in no particular order are 13 hymns that I love to sing and play:

Holy, Holy, Holy
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
There Is A Fountain
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
How Firm a Foundation
To God Be the Glory
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing” (tune, Nettleton)
Redeemed”(tune, Ada)
Be Thou My Vision
My Jesus, I Love Thee”
Worthy of Worship (from the newer ones)
Have Thine Own Way, Lord
I Surrender All.

I'd love to learn what some of your favorite hymns are. It might also be interesting to know the approximate age (or age range) of anyone who responds. In my case the age is under 50, at least for a few more months. :)

An approaching storm cloud 

An Approaching Storm and Autumn Color

I am way overdue with a serious post but I'm not in the mood to think of one today. I did snap a few pictures yesterday when I glanced out the front window of the house and noticed a massive storm cloud looming above the neighbor's house. I've posted one of the series. I couldn't resist also taking a few plant pictures while I was out and about with the camera. The wind made it a bit difficult to capture pictures that weren't blurry (as it was blowing over garbage cans at one point) but I think the ones I posted caught something of the rich, autumn colors.
