One day when heaven was filled with His praises

This is an excellent hymn which suit daily worship as well as breaking of bread meeting on Sunday, the Lord's day and also great hymn for gospel outreach. The depth of this hymn is non-comparable with any modern hymns. Thank you.

I go to a wonderful church that blends the old hymns with newer ones. However, my favorites are the old ones, the ones I learned to love when I was a babe in Christ. In my daily devotion, I like to sing them. In my home, alone and with no other distractions, I can sing to the Lord and really "belt 'em out!"

Reading comments I wonder why people stay in a church that doesn't sing the hymns. We have let the camel (Satan) stick his nose in the tent, now he is completely in and Godly people are out. Kick out the drums, the contemporary feel-good, syrupy garbage! I don't let ANY songs in our church that are not in the hymnal - and that includes specials!!

Love the Gospel in this hymn!

I so needed to hear this song today. Thanks for being here. The new version with the same words is great, but the hymn is still the best. Brings tears of joy. Happy Easter 2017.

Thanks. It was very enjoyable to sing the hymns with the music provided. Thank you again.

As a new Christian I remember loving this song for the message it had in it. So I would sing it to my new born son as I would rock him everyday. Because I love him.and wanted him to know God's love too.

He eventually my son would sing that song with me as I rocked him. It wasn't until I accepted Christ as my Savior God would I hear & honor all those prayers that I prayed for four years before I came to ask Christ to save my soul....then I asked him again, 9 months later God gave me the answer to my prayers. My wonderful brilliant son.

I kept singing to him and I would pray with him and have bible study Gods Word together,

i wanted him to know the Love of God, and His scrafice , what he endured to save all of humanity.

This one song covered it all.
The other one was
"At Calvary "...

Those old hymns say more than anything I've heard from today's music...elevate the

words...

"Years I sent in vanity and pride careing not my Lord was crucified.

Knowing not if was for me HE died, at Calvary."

Memorial Day "picnic" ...eating inside bc grandma can't go out in the heat...we talked about hymns & I looked this one up on my phone...besides being amazed that I could look this up on my phone...we all...grandma..me..my wife & 3 children sang / listened to all 5 verses..loved having the piano accompanying us...

One Easter about 50 years ago my pastor, Rev. Beatrice Dodge, had us children sing this as a special. Today, almost 50 years later to the day I thought of the words. Thank God for the Internet. God bless everyone who had a part in uplifting my heart in words, music, and comments. God is so good; what must Heaven be like? Eternal joy, peace, celebration, glory, life, fellowship, ...everything from the heart of love of God. I hope all who read this will know and experience that Jesus made it all possible for those who have made the choice for returning the love in living for God here, that we might live with God there. God be all you need for today and every day!

When God saved me He made me alive from the dead (spiritually) and suddenly these old hymns that formerly seemed dry and meaningless were transformed into living color (2 Cor. 5:17). Now I find there is no need to "doctor" the music, for the words and music already fit perfectly together to make a complete message in song! "Hallelujah! what a Savior! who can take a poor lost sinner, lift him from the miry clay and set him free; I will ever tell the story shouting glory, glory, glory, hallelujah! Jesus ransomed me."

Oh! that others may come to know the living God (John 1:12-13).

My friend, if you have not yet had this experience, then beg God to enable you by his Spirit to receive Christ Jesus the LORD! (Ruler, King or Governor over you Romans 10:13). Ask Him to send you a preacher who knows The Way (Rom.10:14-15).

That is a shame! It is a sign of our times. I have no problem with new songs with new lyrics and melodies, we sing them at our church all the time. There are plenty of spirit filled composers of words and music these days. While I won't spend much time criticizing the modern accompaniment I prefer the traditional, mainly without out the drums and electronic amplification. I was having my devotions this morning and my 10 month old son walked over, so I launched into some praise songs as a way of including him and teaching him about Jesus at his young age. The above is one among others that came to mind. I agree that there's no need to change the words to suit modern sensibilities, if people are offended by words like "vile" it just proves the words are true. What are going to do about how Paul describes every one of us in Romans 1?
