Hymns

One of the major ways Christians have let the Word of God dwell in us richly throughout history has been through singing hymns in church gatherings. Hymns have the habit of ministering to our hearts, giving us hope and faith. They teach us theology, help us minister to each other, unite us with Christians from past centuries, and take our eyes off ourselves and put them on Jesus.

In 2013, BBC Songs of Praise conducted a nationwide survey in the UK. Tens of thousands of people voted for their favourite. From a list of one hundred hymns, here is the order in which they rank:
