Hymns and Order of Service Sheets!? :)

Hi

I had Colours of Day and Give me Joy in my heart.

Anna

We're having 'Lord of all hopefulness', 'We pledge to one another' and 'Jerusalem'.

Your church should be able to supply you with some examples. We're finalising ours at the moment.

MrsParsons - our Priest vetoed Lord of the dance as he said it was too much of an Easter hymn. It's not a huge problem I don't think as long as you like it. Sorry just thought I'd give you a heads up in case yours says anything.

We're still trying to come up with a good list for ours. Not sure whether to go for popular hymns so that non church-goers will know the tunes or just for what we like. We're having a very small group of Catholic people compared to the number of guests we have in total so I'd hate it if not many would sing along. Think we may be having 'lord of all hopefulness' like you though CB.

We are thinking of having Lord of all Hopefulness, Guide me, O thou great redeemer and O Jesus I have promised.

I've attended church all my life so the right hymns are very important to me, these are favourites of mine.

Great is thy faithfulness and not sure about second one yet

We're planning on having Jerusalem, I vow to thee my country and Shine Jesus shine - I love the last one!

@Kooks - we're having Jerusalum and I vow to thee my country - - you're the only other person I've found using the latter! when I tell people they seem to think I'm a bit mad. The rev raised an eyebrow and asked if these hymns were right for the occassion, I said that we loved them both and they meant something to us which was important and he seemed to except that

We're having

Tell out my soul, the greatness of the Lord

Be Thou my vision (good choice!!)

O Praise ye the Lord (because I love the final verse with the organ fugue going on, and the massive AMEN at the end!
