I totally love music. More than I could ever express. That being said, I don't love all music. As I was sitting in church today, I started thinking about the hymns that I simply can't tolerate, for one reason or another. Here is my list of the Top Ten Worst Hymns:
10- Welcome, Welcome Sabbath Morning
9 - Carry On
8 - We are all Enlisted
7- You can Make the Pathway Bright
6 - In our Lovely Deseret
5 - Let us Oft Speak Kind Words
4 - Count Your Blessings
3 - Scatter Sunshine
2 - Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel
1 - There is Sunshine in My Soul Today
There you have it.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, the best hymns of all time - in my opinion, and for me personally. The good news is that I couldn't keep this list to only 10. I love so many hymns, and for once, it was so much easier coming up with things that I love rather than things that I don't. So here, in no particular order, is a list of my favorite hymns:
All Creatures of Our God and King
Battle Hymn of the Republic
Each Life that touches Ours for Good
God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Lord, I would follow Thee
While Shepherds watched their Flocks
He is Risen
Upon the Cross of Calvary
In Humility, Our Savior
Abide with Me, 'Tis Eventide
Abide with Me!
Where Can I turn for Peace?
Cast Thy Burden upon the Lord
Lead, Kindly Light
Now Thank we all Our God
For all the Saints
How Firm a Foundation
What are YOUR favorite or not-so-favorite hymns?
