My Web Hymnal

This is an attempt to bring together in one place the wide variety of hymns that I've been involved with in one capacity or another and/or that I just like and would like to share with friends and random visitors.

It will include links to shapenote websites' pages, to Hymnary.org, Cyber Hymnal™, and other hymnal websites, as well as to YouTube videos of hymns being sung,etc. Be forewarned, I have broad tastes, am more of a text person than a musician, and am fond of Sacred Harp and of singing in various languages.


A babe in the manger, a song in the sky 
A babe is born all of a maid
A babe is born in Bethlehem 
A better day is coming (Coming By and By)
A certain man held a feast (I Cannot Come to the Banquet)
A charge to keep I have 
A great and mighty wonder
A hymn of glory let us sing
A lamb goes uncomplaining forth
A mighty fortress is our God
A parting hymn we sing
A pilgrim was I, and a-wandering (Surely Goodness and Mercy)
A poor wayfaring man of grief
A ruler once came to Jesus by night (Ye Must Be Born Again)
A safe stronghold our God is still
A stable lamp is lighted
A virgin unspotted, the prophets foretold (A Virgin Most Pure)
A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
According to thy gracious word
Afflictions though they seem severe
Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended
Alas, and did my Savior bleed
All beautiful the march of days
All creatures of our God and King
All for Jesus! All for Jesus! All
All for Jesus! All for Jesus! This
All glory be to God on high
All glory, laud, and honor
All hail the pow'r of Jesus' name!
All hail to thee Immanuel
All my heart this night rejoices
All my hope on God is founded
All my life long I had panted
All on the altar, dear Jesus
All people that on earth do dwell
All poor folk and humble
All praise to Him who reigns above {Blessed Be the Name}
All praise to our redeeming Lord
All praise to thee, for thou, O King divine
All praise to thee, my God, this night
All the toil and sorrow done, Alleluya
All the way my Savior leads me
All things are ready come to the feast
All things are thine; no gift have we
All to Jesus I surrender
All who love and serve your city
Alleluia, Alleluia! Hearts to heaven
Alleluia! Alleluia! Let the holy anthem
Alleluia! Sing to Jesus
Almighty God, thy lofty throne
Almighty Lord, grant unto us
Almost persuaded" now to believe
Am I a soldier of the cross?
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
Amidst us our Beloved stands
An upper room did our Lord prepare
Ancient of Days, Who sittest, throned in glory
And am I born to die?
And are we yet alive
And can I yet delay
And can it be, that I should gain?
And let this feeble body fail
Angel voices, ever singing
Angels from the realms of glory
Angels, roll the rock away!
Angels we have heard on high
Another year is dawning
Another year's rich mercies prove
Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go
Approach, my soul, the mercy seat
Are ye able,” said the Master
Are you longing for the fullness
Are you weary, are you heavy-hearted?
Arise, my soul, arise!
Arise, shine out, your light has come
Arise, your light is come!
Around the throne of God in heaven
Around this table, dearest Lord
Art thou weary art thou languid?
As a chalice cast of gold
As I journey through the land singing as I go
As Jacob with travel was weary one day
As longs the deer for cooling streams
As men/ss/those of old their firstfruits
As pants the hart for cooling streams
As the deer pants for the water
As when the shepherd calls his sheep
As with gladness men of old
Ask ye what great thing I know
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep
At even, ere/when the sun was set
At the cross, her station keeping
At the Lamb’s high feast we sing
At the name of Jesus
At the sounding of the trumpet
Awake, and sing the song
Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Awake, my tongue, thy tribute bring
Awake, O sleeper, rise from death
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
Baptized in Water
Be not dismayed, whate’er betide
Be present at our table, Lord
Be silent, be silent
Be still and know that I am God
Be still, my soul! The Lord is on thy
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Beams of heaven as I go
Bear each other's burdens
Beautiful Savior, King of Creation
Beauty for brokenness
Because thou hast said "Do this
Become to us the living bread
Before Jehovah’s/the Lord’s aw*** throne
Before the throne of God above
Before the/you Lord we bow
Before thy throne, O God, we kneel
Begin, my tongue, some heav'nly theme
Behold, a Stranger at the door
Behold the glories of the Lamb
Behold the goodness of our Lord
Behold, the great Creator makes
Beneath the cross of Jesus
Beyond the sunset, O blissful morning
Bless the Lord, O my soul
Bless thou the gifts our hands have brought
Blessed Assurance
Blessed be the fountain of blood
Blessed be the God of Israel
Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs
Blessed Jesus, at Your word
Blessed Savior, we adore thee
Blessing and honor and glory and power
Blest be the King whose coming
Blest be the tie that binds
Blow ye the trumpet blow
Bread of heaven, on thee we feed
Bread of the world in mercy broken
Break forth, O beauteous heav'nly light
Break thou the bread of life
Breathe on me, Breath of God
Brethren, we have met to worship
Brightest and best of the sons/stars
Brightly beams our Father’s mercy
Bring a torch, Jeannette, Isabella
Bring many names, beautiful and good
Bring, O morn, thy music
Built on the rock the Church doth/shall stand
By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered
By the Babylonian rivers
By the rivers of Babylon
Child in the manger
Children of the heavenly Father
Children of the heavenly King

Community of Christ, who make the cross your own
Conquering now and still to conquer
Courage my soul, and let us journey on
Creating God, your fingers trace
Creation sings the Father’s song
Creator of the stars of night
Cross of Jesus, cross of sorrow
Crown Him with many crowns
Dare to be a Daniel
Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness
David the king was grieved and moved
Day by day and with each passing moment
Day by day, day by day
Each little flow'r that opens
Earth and all stars!
Earthly pleasures vainly call me
Face to face with Christ, my Savior
Fade, fade, each earthly joy
Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature
Gentle Mary laid her child
Give me oil in my lamp
Give me the wings of faith to rise
Glorious things of Thee are spoken
God bless our native land
God Himself is with us
God is the fountain whence
God the Omnipotent!/All-powerful
Gracious Lord, remember David
Great Shepherd, who leadest thy people in love
Hail, holy queen enthroned above
Hail the blest morn, See the great Mediator
Hail the day so long expected
Hallelujah! raise the song, "Jesus Christ is risen!"
Hark, the voice of love and mercy
He's got the whole world in His hands
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
I am a stranger here within a foreign land
I am dwelling on the mountain
I came to the spot where the white pilgrim lay
I do not kmow the depths of Jesus' love
In fancy I stood by the shore one day
Is it for me, dear Savior?
Jerusalem, my happy home
Jerusalem the Golden
Jesu, Thou joy of loving hearts!
King of my life, I crown thee now
Kneel at the cross, Christ will meet you
Kneels at the feet of His friends
Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace
Last night I lay a-sleeping
Lead me, Lord, lead me in Thy
Lord, it is good for us to be
Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Majesty, worship His majesty
Make me a captive, Lord
Master, it is good to be"
Nearer, My God, to Thee
Nearer, still nearer, close to thy heart
New every morning is the love
O beautiful for spacious skies
O bless the Lord, my soul!
O boundless salvation, deep ocean
O saints of old, not yours alone
Of Jesus' love that sought me
Of the Father's heart begotten
Of the Father's love begotten
Of the themes that men have known
On a hill far away stood an old rugged
On Christmas night all Christians sing
On Jordan's Bank the Baptist's Cry
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
On our way rejoicing
On Pentecost they gathered
On the mountain top appearing
On the resurrection morning soul and body meet again
On the resurrection morning when the dead in Christ shall rise
On this day earth shall ring
On what has now been sown
Pass me not, O gentle Savior
Paul and Silas bound in jail
Peace in our time, O Lord
Prince of Peace, control my will
Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it!
Rejoice, rejoice, believers
Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Safe in the arms of Jesus
Safely through another week
Saints in glory, we together
Since without thee we do no good
Sleep on, beloved, sleep and take thy rest
Take my life and let it be
Take the name of Jesus with you
Take the saving word of God (Dawk'yah)
The rolling waves of Ocean's tide
The trusting heart to Jesus clings
There is, beyond the azure blue
Though troubles assail and dangers affright 
To us, to us, a child is born
Under His wings I am safely abiding
Unto the hills around do I lift up
Unto us is born a Son
Up Calvary’s mountain, one dreadful morn
Upon the mountain, my Lord spoke
View the present through the promise
Wait for the Lord, whose day is near
Wake, awake, for night is flying
Walk in the light! so shalt thou know 
Was there ever kindest shepherd (> There's a wideness in God's mercy) 
What a beautiful thought I am thinking (The Great Speckled Bird)
When in our music God is glorified
When Israel camped in Sinai (Our God Is Like an Eagle)
When Israel was in Egypt's land (Go Down, Moses)
When Jesus comes to reward His servants
When Jesus had died (Come Then, Let's Have Breakfast)
When Jesus left his Father's throne
When Jesus wept
When love is found and hope comes home
When marshalled on the nightly plain (The Star of Bethlehem)
When morning gilds the skies (May Jesus Christ Be Praised)
When my lifework is ended
When peace, like a river (It Is Well with My Soul)
When the dawn awaking found me
When the mists have rolled in splendor
When the poor ones who have nothing
When the storms of life are raging
When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound (When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder)
When upon life's billows you are tempest-tossed (Count Your Blessings)
When we are living, it is in Christ
When we walk with the Lord
Where charity and love prevail
Where cross the crowded ways of life
Where, in my name, meet two or three
While by the sheep we watched at night (How Great Our Joy)
While shepherds kept their watching (Go, Tell It on the Mountain)
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Who comes from God as Word and Breath?
Who is He in yonder stall
Who is on the Lord's side?
Who’d have thought the Lord Almighty 
Whosoever heareth, shout, shout the sound
Why should I feel discouraged? (His Eye Is on the Sparrow)
Why should we start and fear to die
Will you/Brother, let me be your servant (The Servant Song)
Will your anchor hold in the storms
Wind who makes all winds that blow
Woke up this morning with my mind (Stayed on Jesus)
Woman in the night
Woman, weeping in the garden
Womb of life, and source of being
Wonder of wonders, here revealed
Wonderful grace of Jesus
Wonderful love that rescued me
Wonderful merciful Savior
Work, for the night is coming
Worship the Lord in the beauty
Worthy is Christ, the Lamb who was slain
Worthy of worship, worthy of praise
Would you be free from your burden (Power in the Blood)
Ye Christian heralds, go proclaim
Ye holy angels bright
Ye pilgrims through this vale of tears
Ye servants of God, your master proclaim
Ye servants of the Lord, each in his office wait
Ye watchers and ye holy ones
Ye who claim the faith of Jesus
Years I spent in vanity and pride (At Calvary)
Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin
You have longed for sweet peace
You, Lord are both Lamb and Shepherd
You shall go out with joy
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord (On Eagle's Wings)
You who know our fears and sadness
You'll hear the trumpet sound
Your harps, ye trembling saints
Zacchaeus climbed the tree, and thought himself unknown
Zeal is that pure and heav’nly flame
Zion stands by hills surrounded
Zion, the marvelous story be telling
