Hymns

Do any of you still do traditional hymns in your services?  I have been doing contemporary for many years now and have just been hired as a worship leader at a church that has been doing mostly traditional hymns.  They now want a mix.  What are some good hymns that can be done in a bit more contemporary way?See More

"I agree with Martyn on this point and I think his recommendations are great. These people write in a hymn-ish way, and after you cover some of their songs you'll find that you can start to think "hymn" too! :)"

Toni replied to Doug Barker's discussion 'updated hymns'
"A lot of hymns can be re-modeled by reducing the chord complexity and finding a more recent rhythm that will fit with the tune. Be Thou My Vision and Amazing Grace are good examples of hymns that have received this treatment, both being covered in…"

About Me:
I had a Chrisian band for 5 years doing all original music. We always did a worship set. Then one day I was asked to become worship leader of a start up church. Did that for about a year.
