So I'm just wondering what your favourite hymns are, and why you like them so much / what's powerful about them etc. I also thought it might be nice to discover some new hymns on my own part, as doubtless there will be quite a lot of variation in what we all sing. Traditional hymns, more modern hymns - any are good 
.
My absolute favorites at the moment are; "In Christ Alone", "The Power of the Cross (Oh to See The Dawn)", "King of Kings, Majesty" and "To God Be The Glory".

The one I will probably have at my wedding is "Be thou my vision".
Just singing it clears my vision!

Shine Jesus Shine.
It always "gets me", you know? We sang this today actually, and I really enjoyed it!

call me a spiritual snob but this sounds performance-ised / commercialised / practiced to death, not from the heart.

Jars of Clay are an awesome band though who have done a lot for people in the impoverish world. http://christianmusic.about.com/od/m...s1000wells.htm
Personally I think the song is best done for worship when done acppella with an Irish drum

There's just too many to choose!
Charles Wesley's And Can It Be encapsulates the amazing truth that Christians believe about Jesus better than any subsequent song that I know of.
The rich theology and moving refrain of Godfrey Thring's Crown Him With Many Crowns makes it my favourite nineteenth-century hymn.
Of more contemporary worship songs, Matt Redman's You Alone Can Rescue is an amazing reminder of why we praise God. And while I don't approve of Hillsong's theology, their song From the Inside Out is a real morale booster in the face of everyday failings.

I love that hymn too, incidentally.

Hymns not so much, but almost anything by Delirious? I love, especially this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqo-NaqROD0
thebandwithnoname and YFriday aren't too shabby either.
And, as mentioned above, In Christ Alone, especially when I play it (*blows own trumpet slightly*).

For reflective sacred music, 'Be Still for the Presence of the Lord' is particularly powerful.
As Duncan says though, there's just too many to mention.

(but relatively old for contemporary Christian music, ahh! Healing Is In Your Hands and Our God are two of my favourite very recent ones )

The bodhran adds massively to any music, but particularly sacred music.

Though I didn't know how to spell it so didn't bother. Thank you
