Let me post the missing verse five for this hymn. Don't know why it would be left out.
"E'en down to old age all my peo-ple shall prove My sov-eriegn, e-ter-nal, un-change-a-ble love; And when hoar-y hairs shall their tem-ples a-dorn, Like lambs they shall still in my bo-som be borne, Like lambs they shall still in my bos-om be borne."
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (August 7), I filled in at a local Lutheran Church. I played this as the Opening Hymn. It is #796 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship. You can also sing it to ADESTE FIDELES, which is better known as O, Come, All Ye Faithful.
Wonderful and amazing. Traditional hymns will always be classics because inspired old times people, touch us in our times and will remain inspiring future generations for ever. Thanks for share this blessing.
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.
singing is but a small part of worship...but many Christians don't understand - praise/singing is an activity, worship is all that you do with your life....
Yes, the definition of Worship in the NT is in Romans 12:1. Singing is done with thankfullness in our hearts to God, as a form of prayer and to encourage each other in the gospel.
There are a couple of instructions to sing in the epistles of Paul, and also we have Mark 14:26 And Matthew 26:30, where Jesus and his disciples sing a hymn together.
One worships/serves God with there entire life. (Romans 12) however, singing about him is part of that, it is in particular part of encouraging one another with the truths about God (Colossians 3:16), for an example of Jesus singing with his disciples, Matthew 26:30

The men of Robert E. Lee's army broke into this hymn at his funeral as they remembered it was his favorite hymn.

A favorite song of Robert E. Lee's as well; in fact, I first heard this song on a CD compilation of Confederate songs.

It's probably because the tune to this hymn plays in the intro to The Day After (1983).

This song always makes me think of The Day After (the 1983 nuclear war movie). Great rendition of this song!

I wonder where you christians get the idea that worshipping God is by singing? I didn't find Jesus teach singing.

Psalm 98:4 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
Psalm 47:6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
etc etc ...
It's certainly an important part of worshiping God and He delights in it. He created the ears of men, and music, and we use it for His glory.
However worship is indeed much more than songs or instruments or music. We worship Him in obedience and love and devotion.
