Hi everyone:
First post here on this website. For me it's two songs:
1) Will The Circle Be Unbroken (Currently working on for a Bluegrass Concert I am in in May 2013 on guitar)
2) Somebody Touched Me performed by the Dillards

The Soul Of Man or What A Friend We Have In Jesus are both fun to play.

Down In The Valley To Pray
How great thou art
When the roll is called up yonder
among my favorites to sing , hear, and play.
Man there are great many good ones. I'm partial to Softly and Tenderly. If you can find the version done by Cynthia Clawson, it'd be worth the effort.
1. I saw the light
2. It is well with my soul
3. The old rugged cross
4. Amazing grace

Do Lord. I worked this up with my kids before doing it at church.https://soundcloud.com/patrick-oscarson/do-lord
We do a lot of hymns at our monthly rescue mission gig, because they don't require any royalties...
But I really like Great Atomic Power by the Louvin Brothers. I can't seem to get my band interested in it: they think it's a novelty tune.
Ha, ha! keep time: how sour sweet music is,
When time is broke and no proportion kept!

David Crowder Band has a bluegrassy/hymn type song on his Jan 2012 released "Give Us Rest" album that our church band is working on for Sunday. "Jesus, Lead Me To Your Healing Waters". Thought it was an old hymn redone at first. But when downloaded the sheet music. Noticed the words and music are listed as written by the band members. Lot of mandolin in it too...
Be Thou My Vision
Morning Has Broken
At Christmas time it's called What Child is This, else it's called Greensleaves.
Be Thou My Vision
His Great Thou Art
Come Thou Fount
Wow...so many great hymns mentioned. I'd add Precious Lord, Take My Hand to the list.

I play mandolin with my church chior.
My absolute favorite hymn is Twyla Paris' "Lamb of God"
I'm not sure if Ms Paris was thinking mandolin when she wrote the song, but it is beautiful when played on mandolin

One of my first memories was of my mom reading to me. I'd have 1 ear on her chest and the other hearing the "normal" sounds. I didn't even have a word for it, did not know what "secret" or "humanity" meant but I thought I'd found the secret of why humanity was so very happy!
So I was tuned into my mother's voice and I noticed she sang a little bit louder and more soulfully when "Just As I Am" was played. I've wondered if, with me being the youngest and not the most aggressive child and perhaps lacking in self-esteem (boy have times changed!) if she sang louder for my sake or if it had a meaning for her that I'll never know. So "Just As I Am" is numero uno in my book.
In the non-standard hymn category I love "Presence of the Lord" by Eric Clapton.
