Oh dear, maybe this one isn't as well known as I had thought! Ah. I see it's a little new, as these things go: it has a copyright of 1972. So here's a clue: words and music by Bryan J Leech.

Given the clue and the text above maybe
"We gathered here in Jesus Name"
Which is not one I have ever sung. Actually I cannot find any I have sung by that author.

I don't know if you should recognize it; it was one of my favourites back in the day. But even Googling Bryan Leech I can't find it! Therefore I must conclude it's more obscure than I thought. It's "Let God Be God" and the first stanza goes like this:
Let God be God in this our present moment
Let God be master holding in control
All parts of life as gifts of his bestowment
For making men now broken strong and whole
Has a great, rollicking melody.
Somebody else pick one.

Never heard of it. I never would have guessed.
All right. Here's an easy one. Although I confess that I didn't include one word that didn't translate and that would give it away instantly.
City luck! Happy!
Your life is in the name of peace!

Well, I did, and got it, words and music. But this is a specifically American hymn, referring as it does to slave emancipation. OK, I know that Newton, who wrote Amazing Grace, was English, but this hymn would be practically unknown in the UK. Or am I wrong about that?
Seelenbraütigam, could I put in a plea for a hymn which might be recognised on this side of the pond? ![[Waterworks]](graemlins/bawling.gif)

It looks like a hint is in order.
This hymn shares a lot in common with the above-mentioned Amazing Grace; it, too, made its appearance in 1779 in Olney Hymns.

This is the easiest one so far, I think! (I didn't need the clue, just haven't logged on today until now). The hymn is John Newton's 'One there is above all others'

OK. Here's another easy one -- so easy that I confess I altered it a little bit:
Soft, gentle Jesus phones,
Working for you and me.
See in an article that he is waiting
To see you and me.
Return to home.
Who are you, home tired.
Tender, large, Jesus phones,
Phone, O sinner, home!

That one looks like 'Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling' a hymn I haven't heard for YEARS, in fact I'd forgotten all about it until I saw your version!

Can anyone join in the fun? If so, what about:
Song from a man, a great name
Who was the son of God
Broken sinners to seek.

Yes, but it has to be "your turn." You earn a turn by correctly guessing the current hymn.
In this case, Gracious Rebel correctly guessed "Softly and Tenderly" and so it is Gracious Rebel's turn.

Well I would happily let Baptist Trainfan take my go. But actually I think I have guessed his as well, so its probably soon going to be my go again anyway.....
I think the hymn is 'Man of Sorrows', a hymn very much associated in my mind with my Open Brethren roots (along with 'Thou art the everlasting word' - one or both of these two hymns seemed to be chosen most weeks in my remembered version of the Brethren 'morning meeting')

We used the Sankey book in the evening 'gospel meeting' at the Brethren shack, but I know Man of Sorrows from the morning meeting, where we used 'The Believers Hymn Book' (everyone had their own personal copy that they took with them; never come across this situation in any other place of worship)
Anyway, I'm digressing: I don't have time to set another hymn now as its nearly time for my clarinet lesson - so if someone else wants to take my turn that's fine by me.

Yes. I didn't want to do it in Gracious Rebel's name, but I was hoping it would come to pass.
The hymn, of course, is Christ who knows all his sheep will all in safety keep. Yes?

Absolutely. Care of Ancient and Modern Revised, known affectionately over here as AMR. It's my favourite Communion Anthem at the drop of a hat, when the choir has to cover an extra long queue for the altar.

Tradition. As I've said: "Gimme that old time religion, it's good enough for me!"
OK then:
Hot Jesus, reveal
Soldier of the Cross;
Improving quality banner government,
not win.
From success to success
soldier should result in
Each enemy effect.
Christ the Lord is true.

Yes, that's right. I don't remember at which point "hot Jesus" crept into it, but it took a long time to get rid of "Stand up, stand up". And I never did succeed in getting rid of "Soldier of the Cross."
