My Favorite Hymn

I remember when I was a kid, my family often went to the 5 pm service at our Catholic church. That meant that there was no choir. Often there was no music until one guy decided to play the electric guitar for the service. Sometimes he got carried away and his responsorial Psalm would turn into a Hendrix imitation, albeit without the flaming guitar.

So I distinctly remember going to the 10 a.m. service one week and hearing the church's choir sing (which they only did once a month). And they sang this hymn, "There is a Balm in Gilead", beautifully. To this day, this remains my favorite hymn, though the other two I posted are up there too.
