I Love to Tell The Story is one I can recall immediately from singing in the child & then youth choir. I especially liked to sing loud when we got to Glory, for some reason What I like about memorizing the words, through singing (or I guess, listening) is that it keeps the hymn alive when there is no piano or organ to lead you along. love.jan godown anninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091996699597066230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-47331242079482142702018-03-01T20:18:17.398-08:002018-03-01T20:18:17.398-08:00I too love the words from hymns that fill my head....I too love the words from hymns that fill my head.

And even though hymns are not the primary expression of praise in my church experience these days either, sometimes at night before I sleep or in the morning before I get out of bed, I find one or another of those hymns slipping in and out of my consciousness. I want to go back and read about the earthquake hymns. I had not heard of those. Thanks for sharing your memories, your posts, and your music.

I love how you've connected specific hymns to incidents in your life. <br /><br />Ruth, what you could do someday is make a pictorial memoir of your life (a slideshow with your great photos) and use the hymns that you name here as background music.
