Hymns that Have Nurtured Me at Critical Times

Casting my mind back over the years of my life, I tried the other day to remember hymns that we sang in church that have especially ministered to me in times of trial.  Specifically in church.  Five came to my remembrance, not in any special order, but brought to my soul a great sense of peace and trust and hope in our Lord Jesus and the New Testament in His blood.  They are listed below, with pages from the old Trinity Hymnal.  I list five of them, in no special order of significance.

 Psalm 30.  Page 526

My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less, than Jesus' Blood and Righteousness.  Page 582

Jesus, What a Friend for Sinners.  Page 432

Man of Sorrows! What a Name! For the Son of God Who Came.   Page 175

A Wonderful Savior is Jesus My Lord.  Page 675

 These are not even my favorite hymns necessarily, nor are they chosen often by me for worship, but I remember special times and conditions where the Holy Spirit used them to bring great peace and hope to my heart.
