Post some of your favorite hymns to God.
To get things started, here is Fr. Seraphim bit-Karibi leading a few members of his flock in singing the Trisagion Hymn in an unfinished Church building that is being built in the country of Georgia. Although in Georgia, they are Assyrian Orthodox and singing in Aramaic -- the language of Jesus Christ when he was Incarnate among us.
A translation of the hymn in English:
"Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us!"
I like that hymn as well. Here's another of a similar genre that I'm fond of.
For any unfamiliar with the somewhat obscure reference in the song, the "great speckled bird" is taken from Jeremiah 12:9 -- "Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her" and so is seen in this song as a reference to the Church.
Here's a classic from back in the day. Do y'all remember back when most of America's popular entertainers actually supported the nation's faithful instead of working against us?
