“This little light of mine”, chosen by Allison, is our final Easter hymn.  But “is it really an Easter hymn?” I hear you ask!  Well, as Christians are “Easter people”, and we would have no Christianity and no Christian hymns without Jesus’s resurrection, I’m happy to include it.  It is such a joyful hymn, expressing the joy of having the light of the living Christ in your heart.  What can you do today to let your light shine?

Thank you to Alex for playing all the hymns for us this week.

Our hymn today is “How Great Thou Art”, chosen by Ann.  It is based on a Swedish traditional melody and a poem, written in Swedish by Carl Boberg in 1885.  Since then it has been translated into many languages.  The version which we sing in English was translated by Stuart K. Hine, who also added two verses of his own.  While you could call it an “old favourite”, it is also popular today with worship bands.  Come back tomorrow for our final Easter hymn!

For Thursday we have another powerful modern hymn chosen by Jean.  “How Deep The Father’s Love For Us” was written by Stuart Townend.  Is it one of your favourites too?  I hope you are enjoying the selection of hymns this week, chosen by our members.  Tomorrow we will have an older hymn, but one that is still popular today.

Today we have Allison Andrews’ favourite Easter hymn, “Hosanna, loud hosanna”.  Allison says “My childhood favourite of sitting in Polmont Old was, and still is, “Hosanna, Loud Hosanna”.

Come back tomorrow to enjoy another Easter favourite.

Today we have another two of your favourite Easter hymns for us to sing along with at home.  First we have “The Old Rugged Cross” chosen by Jean.  Then an anonymous choice, “Because He lives”, by Bill and Gloria Gaither.  What a great selection of hymns you have chosen for us all to enjoy this week!

Happy Easter everyone!  Thanks to all those who submitted their favourite Easter hymns for us to share on the website.  Today we have two hymns for you to enjoy.  Jean has chosen the powerful spiritual “Were you there when they crucified my Lord?”.  Then we have the equally powerful modern hymn “In Christ Alone”, by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, which has been chosen by Allison.  Come back tomorrow for another two Easter favourites.
