There are a lot that I really love so forgive my long list, but here are my top 9:

Come come ye saints
If you could hie to kolob
Praise to the man
Oh my father
How great the wisdom and the love
How great thou art
There is a green hill
All creatures of our God and king
I know that my redeemer lives


I cry every time I sing come come ye saints!

What about you?

Oh My Father.

Be Still My Soul
How Great Thou Art
Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
If You Could Hie to Kolob

To name a few! So many are beautiful and touch my soul.

Oh be still my soul! I forgot about that one.

I stand all amazed

There is a Green Hill Far Away
Where can I turn for peace
Our saviors love
Come thou fount
More holiness give me

Come Come Ye Saints
Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel.

But I must say many of the others are beginning to "grow" on me. And this is why I want NO CHANGES in the hymn book. 3 years in the church and I only "know" 2, so I don't need any changes.

I'm sure most of the hymns that will be in the new hymnal will be the same as in the old. So, you should be good. And it sounds like you've only scratched the surface of the hymns so getting a new hymnal should be equivalent to what you are experiencing now: You'll still only know 2 hymns.

There is a green hill far away,
Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all.
Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved,
And died our sins to bear;
We trust in His redeeming blood,
And life eternal share.
2
We may not know, we cannot tell,
What pains He had to bear;
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there.
3
He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make us good,
That we might from our sins be freed,
Saved by His precious blood.
4
There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin,
He only could divine life give
And dwell Himself within.

Yes, but for 3 years I have been working on 40, 50 or 60 others, at least. Now all my work will be out the window. I'm back to square one.

https://www.lds.org/music/library/hymns ... g=eng&_r=1 as one that fast forwards through the music whenever possible. The title describes my wonderment and it being of short duration, to me is a good thing.

I will confine myself to hymns that haven't been listed yet.

The Spirit of God
When the Saints go Marching in
Just a Closer Walk With Thee

Regarding When the Saints, I hope I am privileged to sing it with a slight edit.

The current line is: "Oh Lord I want to be in that number, when the Saints go marching in."
The rewrite is: "I thank thee Lord to be in this number, when the Saints go marching in."
