A college corridor. A barely squeaky upright piano. A haggard music instructor bashing away on the keys. The light scent of BO and toes. That’s proper, you’re again at college. Rise up straight, neaten up your tie, tighten your scrunchie and prepare to sing an absolute banger. Listed here are among the greatest hymns you’ll have loved again at main college…
When you’re right here, examine what we included in our listing of the greatest hymns of all time.
One of the best college hymns
Kumbaya
Any Scouts or Brownie Guides amongst us? This was a campfire traditional for anybody who went away on camp, and was at all times a straightforward hit when it was chosen for college meeting. Its lyrics aren’t sophisticated. Each second phrase is both ‘Kumbaya’ or ‘Lord’. Simple.
Give me oil in my lamp
Sing hosanna, sing hosanna, SING HOSANNA TO THE KING! Any refrain that’s made up of a collection of repeated traces rising in quantity every time is an absolute party-starter in class meeting.

Shine Jesus Shine
This may be a relatively triggering selection for anybody who, like me, had a father who determined to have his rockstar second enjoying ‘Shine Jesus Shine’ on the electrical guitar within the church band. Sure, there was a Hawaiian shirt. And sure, there was a goatee. However there have been additionally streamers given out to your complete congregation to wave in time to the music. What a time to be alive.
From the tiny ant
This one is actually a purchasing listing of zoo animals from begin to end, which arguably meets the standards for an absolute banger of a faculty hymn. The repetition is totally inane, however who wouldn’t need to spend college meeting singing about nice white sharks, tabby cats and desert rats?
He’s acquired the entire world in his palms
Now, we haven’t spoken sufficient right here about how marvellous a hymn with choreography is for a rowdy college corridor. Granted, the dance strikes used on this tune had been a bit simplistic, however will we ever overlook that ‘entire world’ hand movement? I definitely received’t, that’s for positive.
Lord of the Dance
In contrast to lots of the hymns on this listing, ‘Lord of the Dance’ is a melodic feast. That’s primarily as a result of it takes its lead from the English carol ‘Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day’, so it’s extra of a conventional hymn construction than a barely naff nursery rhyme. What’s extra, that transition from verse to refrain is an actual bop – so good, the truth is, that it was nearly not possible to not velocity up and drive the long-suffering music instructor to distraction.
We included ‘Lord of the Dance’ in our round-up of the greatest soccer chants impressed by classical music.
This little gentle of mine
What this tune lacks in selection (it options two traces on repeat for the perfect a part of 5 minutes), it makes up for in good instances and singalong-ability. Sorry for reminding you of the world’s most irritating earworm. Good luck sleeping.
