TLH 212 was the only one I recognized without listening, and I like it best, sung at a faster tempo than the MIDI file. TLH 221 comes in second for me.
A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing, and not just because it reminds me of Mr. Bean
I’m voting for Up Through Endless Ranks of Angels.
Up Through Endless Ranks of Angels.
I like Up Through Endless Ranks of Angels…
I play piano for the midweek worship service at my church, and (unfortunately) this is the only one I have learned to play.

I actually recognized all of them, not by title though. Still, I’m surprised, all those years of forced church and something stuck.
A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing
i’d have to vote for #212 for first place and a very close second would be 221.
But it has been my experience of you put some booming organ behind these songs they’ll all fly.
peace and blessings to you.
Up Through Endless Ranks of Angels…only because our congregation doesn’t yet know it and I feel this is the year to teach it! Powerful text and tune.
A Hymn of Glory.
Up Through Endless Ranks of Angels with A Hymn of Glory a close second.
The slowness of those midis makes me so grateful for the way Kantor Reuning plays the hymns!
And the final vote is…
A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing (212)
