Oooo we used to have this one in primary that the whole school was mad about! When the headteach said at assemblies "ok now we'll sing..." literally the whole school would go "YAASSSS!" Hm..i can't even remember what it was called now. Was something about trees in a field and marching out. I remember that cos we always sang it as we left the assembly hall. Haha primary school was so pathetic!
Autumn Days Tell me the Stories of Jesus Give Me Oil In My Lamp (and the infants always used to sing "king of kings" when you were just supposed to sing king and my headmaster would get very angry - that's the spirit ) Praise Him (I got to play the recorder in assembly when we sang that - what a nerd I was) Spirit Of God as Strong as the Wind All Things Bright and Beautiful
Didn't have any leat favourite, I loved them all! edit: http://jiva.co.uk/songs/breadfish.htm we used to also sing this weird one about Jesus and Mary going to Glastonbury

LOL. Our school was the same with the Give me oil in my lamp hymn. There was this teacher who played the piano and he would go mad at the poor little infants when they said "king of kings" lol. What is it with these teachers? Does it really matter?? Lol. I used to like Autumn days - was a nice song that.
Anyway my fave hymn is All things bright and beautiful, I love that hymn.
Ah primary school memories...can't wait til I become a teacher to start singing all the hymns again lol.

we shall go out with joy and be lead forth with peace and the mountains and the hills will bow down before you there'll be shouts of joy and the trees of the field shall clap shall clap their hands!
after my random blurts of songs from years gone by - we used to sing Yellow Submarine, You'll Never Walk Alone, All Things Bright and Beautiful, Colours of Day, Give Me Oil in my Lamp, Kum Bah Yah, and many more... oh the parodies we came up with even then...

OMG YES! Damn that was good. We used to think it was the best thing ever cos we got to clap LMAO!
I agree that modern ones often are, but the older ones do tend to be better. Some are absolutely lovely - particularly ones with (reasonably) intricate harmony and good tunes...
