Like several others I have many favourite hymns, and it all depends on the mood of the moment, or circumstances in which the hymn is being sung which one is currently top of the list. I also often use favourite hymns as prayers. However the one that never fails to move and inspire me is “Oh Lord My God”. The four verses are a wonderful expression of faith - the awesome power of God in creating the universe, the wonder of nature on earth, the reminder of Jesus’ perfect sacrifice and the promise and reassurance of the life to come. The chorus is an amazing, moving praise of thanks to God, added to which the music is powerful and uplifting.

The trouble is I get so choked up with emotion that I can’t sing it!
