Hymns are foreign to most teens, children and new believers. We've sold our rich sacred music for a contemporary bowl of beans. Thankfully, we've found some excellent online radio stations (fbcradioDOTorg) that play classic Christian sacred music. Oh yes, Moms & Dads, Cedarmont Kids has an excellent CD of Hymns for your little ones--great car music that you will also enjoy. Our family loves the traditional Songs of Zion!

Happy to help with guessing the meter for a few worship songs if you would find it useful; give me a youtube link (preferred) and I will give you a suggested meter, and if you would like, a list of a few matching hymns (these would be from Hymns Ancient Modern & Revised though).

I, too, enjoy the spirit (and the Spirit) of praise and worship that is frequently associated with the praise choruses we sing. If/when we blend that with the theological depth of the "old hymns" we do enjoy the best of both worlds: heaven and earth! Kim, I like your thinking of blending the best of both worlds.

I have often thought the same thing--that we could and should take some of the great hymns and use them in our praise worship today. I've seen it done with several songs and would like it done with 100s more. Vincent, Thank you for that example.

What passes for worship these days do not contain enough meat to strengthen the saints to withstand the storms we are taught must come to all. And the greatest storm is subtle deception. There is also an antichrist agenda with music…no doubt. My favourite hymn is …My faith has found a resting place…

God bless you..for this post.
