LDS, what are some of your favorite church songs?

My favorite hymns are The Spirit of God (because I love the words and music), Now Let Us Rejoice (because I love the words and music), I Believe in Christ (because the Spirit is strong when I hear it), Praise to the Man (because Joseph Smith is like my hero), A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief (beautiful words and lyrics, plus it reminds me of the Prophet), There is Sunshine in My Soul Today (because it's happy and light and fun to sing), and Come Come Ye Saints (cheers me up and make me appreciate my ancestors).

And pretty much anything by the Tabernacle Choir rocks!

I'm kind of excited... I've been teaching myself to play the piano and I've gotten myself to the point where I can *almost* play hymns without breaks every now and then when I try to figure out the notes. It takes me awhile to figure it out but my goal is to be able to play them in church someday. :D

First off, ignore Annsan's answer as it is riddled with errors and has an obvious bias. I grew up Presbyterian and attended many similar Protestant churches during my adulthood. I remember sitting there for all those years and saying to myself that this just doesn't make sense. Why doesn't God talk to us anymore? What is the world is the Trinity all about? How can Jesus be God but we call him the Son and then we turn around and call God the Father every week when we pray? So, I found the LDS church 2 years ago when I was 36 years old and it changed my life. I have a personal connection with God now and the gift of the Holy Ghost. Another thing I could never understand was why people would have to go to Hell if they weren't baptized. I remember asking my Mom what happened to little babies and she had no answer other than God will take care of it. The LDS Church has a beautiful doctrine about the plan of salvation that can give everyone a chance to accept Jesus and obtain a glory in His Kingdom. The LDS Church has changed my life since now I am getting married to a beautiful LDS woman in a few weeks and then in six months we will be sealed for time and eternity. We believe that families can be together forever.

**Sorry I listed sooo many, but I absolutely, really, truly, loooove these hymns. They all have a special meaning to me and help lift my spirit. ♥

All of the above. There really isn't a bad church song out there.

My favorite hymn is probably "Lead Kindly Light". Although I also like "A Poor Wayfaring Man". "Praise to the Man" and "I know that my Redeemer lives" are really fun to play on the piano. You can do a lot of little extra things with those songs.

Jesus Once of Humble Birth

Abide With Me 'Tis Eventide

I Stand All Amazed

Praise to the Man (A Mormon marching song)

The Spirit of God (Stake Conference requirement)

Anything the MTC does is alright in my eyes.

Primary Classics:

Popcorn Poppin on the Apricot Tree

I Am a Child of God

Awake and Arise (#8)--

If you listen to it, the music so perfectly reflects the words in the first verse-- so cool!

"The last and the greatest of all dispensations has BURST like a dawn o'er the children of men..."

Although the song in My Turn On Earth has been running through my head since Sunday... "My Story" is pretty great, too.

Search, Ponder, and Pray

I also like songs by the Pearson's

I love anything by Sally Deford...she 's an LDS Composer and her stuff is awesome! As far as Hymns go I love "I Stand All Amazed", and "God Be With You Till We Meet Again" .
