Other Hymns

Awake, Awake! (A Fanny Crosby)

Songleaders, attention! Next time you hear the words "let's have another song to let you stretch your legs," here's the song to do!   (Yes, I know, if we are only singing to stretch our legs we might as well just do a few verses of '99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall,' but with this song we can say something spiritual and get our blood pumping at the same time. 

Begin My Tongue, Some Heavenly Thing  (Isaac Watts)

Blessing and Honor and Glory and Power

Blessed Redeemer (another Fanny Crosby)

Christ is Made the Sure Foundation

Christ Returneth Here's a good one for around the Feast of Trumpets.

Come Unto Me You Weary

Conquering Now and Still to Conquer

Fanny Crosby again, this time on a horse. <smile>
But there is an important message in this song for all of us

Glory Be to God the Father

The Bible Stands (a good teaching song for the children)

Come Thou Conquerer of the Nations
