Religious Music and Hymns

I don't know about you guys, but I always like listening to hymns even though I am not remotely religious anymore. Probably my favorite one is any of the ones that are in the tune of the song Kingsfold. I always found If you Could Hie to Kolob pretty cool because it is about a planet that Mormons believe exist that is where God is from or something. I always found that pretty cool.



This was played a lot at the chapel services at my Christian middle/high school we were forced to endure for an hour. I like this rendition of it, has that sort of 80s vibe.



Any religion's music is allowed so feel free to post anything you want.

 

Elvis sings one of my favorite hymns
most of my favorite hymns are Christmas and Easter hymns
I don't go to church anymore because I don't like crowds, but I do try to go sometimes and the music service is always my favorite part
I was in church choir for a few years and I loved the songs we sung

this is from a church where they don't believe in instruments in church music

 

This song is commonly played at Catholic funerals. I can never not think of the ending theme of Dragon Quest II

Compare:

 

these are from a BBC program

 

Here is another video game song that reminds me of another Catholic hymn. The one that plays after the whole Groudon/Kyogre incident when you save the day in ORAS reminds me of the song Be Not Afraid

 

here's another one from the BBC
it's the two best young choristers

 

南無阿彌陀佛 悠揚12小時 ♫ Namo Amitabha Chanting 12 hours HD Landscape 아미타불 阿弥陀仏 A Di Đà Phật พระอมิตาภพุทธะ - YouTube

(it's from Pure Land Buddhism which is kind of like the Protestantism of Buddhism)

(also I'm not Buddhist BTW)

 

This song sounds like the Cinnabar Island Song

 

it's a hymn our choir sings sometimes but this one is signed by deaf people

 

Dawn of War - a Warhammer 40000 game* - has this Gregorian-sounding, religious-sounding theme called "Chant".

Which seems to really be called "Pange Lingua" according to a Catholic follower.

*(which I haven't played BTW)

 

Surprised nobody's mentioned Rappin' for Jesus yet.

 

My favorite Easter hymn



My favorite religious Christmas song:

 

not a hymn, but a Christian song

 

we sang these at church camp all the time
some good memories

 

a Latin hymn by Mozart sung by an Italian choir

 

Another Mormon song
