What are your favourite hymns?

I can think of a couple that I always enjoyed singing at school. I've added the tune name in brackets, for sometimes hymns are sung to different tunes. It would be good if you could do the same.

Dear Lord and Father of Mankind (Repton)
Be Thou My Vision (Slane)
St Patrick's Breastplate (Stanford)
O Quanta Qualia
(http://www.gmu.edu/departments/fld/CLASSICS/hymni.latini.html#O sung to the MIDI file on http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/b/l/blessing.htm)

You can find them, by title, and listen to MIDI renditions of the tune at:
http://www.cyberhymnal.org/ttl/ttl.htm

I can also think of a couple of anthems I enjoyed, but they might be a bit obscure.

Finally, I will also admit to enjoying singing these on occasion, for patriotic reasons:

Jerusalem (Parry)
Land of Hope and Glory (Elgar)
I Vow to thee, My Country (Holst's Jupiter)

David
