How many times does the average church attendee, currently around once a month, leave worship thinking, “I only knew one of the hymns this morning”? Below is a list of the top 100 hymns in America, give or take a few. The most frequently mentioned top hymns are highlighted (*). With “How Great Thou Art”, as the all time number one. Each reader will determine what is missing from/or should be removed as each weighs the most beloved hymns in their local congregation. This list was compiled from the most used hymn sites online, i.e., CCLI, Hymnlyrics, LifeWay, CyberHymnal, etc.
What we would like to accomplish, WITH YOUR HELP, is to create a list of the top hymns of ACDA members. Let’s try to post at least ten each. Although there are numerous choruses that have earned their way to this list, i.e. “As the Deer”, please, limit your responses to hymns, such as those listed below, however. Do not forget hymns by such notables as Calvin Hampton, David Hurd, John Ferguson, Getty & Townend, etc., if they are popular in your congregation, or with you.
When we reach 100 posts, we will compile the list of the top hymns of ACDA members. This is not a scientific survey, but rather a summation of the most beloved hymns of ACDA members and their congregations. Along with your name, would you please list your denominational affiliation, church, location (i.e. Los Angeles, CA), and ACDA Division.
We thank you for your participation.
Have a blessed Lent and Easter!
