    Move to another seat. She is making a "joyful noise unto the Lord." :)

    Our hymnal has both. I would call Martyn a "nice" tune and Aberystwyth a "majestic" tune, but tastes differ.

    I would call them both nice, by that just meaning that I like them without any comparative judgment.

    I can't pick a favorite (Revelation Song is one of my favorites that comes to mind).

    My pet peeve is when church worship through song consists of watching a group perform. I'm still looking for a church and have been amazed at how often this occurs. The last church we visited even had smoke to go with the light show (which was pretty good...their CD is coming out on the 1st but if you buy on iTunes now you can get the physical CD for $10).

    Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee
    Words by Henry Van Dyke
    Music by Ludwig von Beethoven

    Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
    God of glory, Lord of love
    Hearts unfold like flow'rs before Thee
    Op'ning to the Sun above
    Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
    drive the dark of doubt away
    Giver of immortal gladness
    fill us with the light of day

    All Thy works with joy surround Thee
    Earth and heav'n reflect Thy rays
    Stars and angels sing around Thee
    center of unbroken praise
    Field and forest, vale and mountain
    Flow'ry meadow, flashing sea
    chanting bird and flowing fountain
    call us to rejoice in Thee

    Thou art giving and forgiving
    ever blessing, ever blest
    well-spring of the joy of living
    ocean-depth of happy rest
    Thou the Father, Christ our Brother—
    all who live in love are Thine
    Teach us how to love each other
    lift us to the Joy Divine

    Mortals join the mighty chorus
    which the morning stars began
    Father-love is reigning o'er us
    brother-love binds man to man.
    Ever singing, march we onward
    victors in the midst of strife
    joyful music lifts us sunward
    in the triumph song of life

    Why does this hymn make my favorite list? Because years ago, I read an only in Wales story. It seems a group of Swansea football (soccer) fans were at their local ordinary (the Castle and Crown) celebrating their team's (the Jacks) victory over Cardiff (the Bluebirds). After a couple of celebratory pints, they broke into song as only Welshmen can do. Remember Men of Harlech from Zulu. In this case, these lapsed Welsh Methodists broke into Marching to Zion. I imagine them singing it while stomping their feet in time ala Panzerlied in Battle of the Bulge. Suffice to say the host kicked them out.

    I would suggest singing Marching to Zion in this manner in Junior/Children's Church. Kids need to move and burn energy.

    We most often sing the hymn "Am I a Soldier of the Cross" with one of the hymn tunes, Arlington or Ortonville. We have in our book and once in awhile sing it as "When the Battle's Over" with the chorus "And when the battle's over, we shall wear a crown." I like it either way.

    Not as plain and simple as we sing it, but I didn't many on YouTube.​

    For Glen. :) (Or anybody really.)

    In our Sacred Harp Conventions we also sing it to a tune called Christian Soldier.

    "Dwelling in Beulah Land" has been in the two most recent hymnals we've used: Hymns of Faith and Majesty Hymns.

    I was surprised to hear the tune played at a medal ceremony at the last Olympics. Seems Fiji used it for their national anthem.

    His robes for mine; O wonderful exchange!
    Clothed in my sin, Christ suffered 'neath God's rage.
    Draped in His righteousness, I'm justified.
    In Christ I live, for in my place He died.

    Chorus:
    I cling to Christ, and marvel at the cost;
    Jesus forsaken, God estranged from God.
    Bought with such love, my life is not my own.
    My praise, my all, shall be for Christ alone.

    His robes for mine; what cause have I to dread?
    God's daunting Law Christ mastered in my stead.
    Faultless I stand with righteous works not mine.
    Saved by my Lord's vicarious death and life.

    His robes for mine; God's justice is appeased.
    Jesus is crushed, and thus the Father's pleased.
    Christ drank God's wrath on sin, then cried "Tis done!"
    Sin's wage is paid; propitiation won.

    His robes for mine; such anguish none can know.
    Christ, God's beloved, condemned as though His foe.
    He, as though I, accursed and left alone.
    I, as though He, embraced and welcomed home!

    I can neither sing nor type these words, especially the final verse, without tears in my eyes.
