Growing up as a Conservative Baptist, this was the first hymn in our hymnal and has remained a favorite of mine; in fact, the second hymn I tackled to memorize on the piano. I still love to start a morning prayer time with it.

That's a wonderful first hymn for any hymnal. I was raised in the Methodist church back when "hymns" always referred to the traditional ones. But in my college days, I met and went to visit some Baptist churches and learned traditional hymns that were new to me. I always think, when we choose our Hymn of the Week, "So many hymns; so little time!"
