Not a hymn, because it wasn't written to be sung in church but certainly a gospel inspired song

Some really good tunes as a Assembly of God PK I do love gospel

and the music it inspires

Both versions of “Abide With Me” are nice.

Jesus Savior, Pilot Me” as well.

Didn’t know there was a socio-economic aspect to hymns.

When you are dirt poor it does something for your soul to sing songs about promises of mansions and rewards in heaven

and the slavery thing for the chosen ones

Thanks, I guess you should know as your people negotiated the Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo at their own peril.

Heavens Jubilee
Not Made With Hands
A Grand and Glorious Feeling
Blessed Assurance

Basically everything in the red hymnal. I was raised Free Will Baptist, or Three Wheel Baptist as we said when kids.

Your list was a dead giveaway.
I appreciate those hymns now that I am older. And if you went to Children’s church there was I Got the Joy Joy Joy.

Now Dooley was a good old man
Lived below the mill
Dooley had two daughters
And a forty gallon still
One gal watched the boiler
The other watched the spout
And mama corked the bottles
When old Dooley fetched them out

Dooley, slipping up the holler
Dooley, trying to make a dollar
Dooley, give me a swallow
And I'll pay you back someday

All Glory Laud and Honor. We were poor, southern Episcopalians.
