What's your favorite psalm, hymn, or spiritual song to sing or listen to? Include an audio link if you can!

Among many others, I am a big fan of [video=youtube;abgY3pKNJeQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abgY3pKNJeQ[/video].
 
Psalm 84:7ff. in the RPCNA Psalter:

Advancing still from strength to strength,
They go where other saints have trod,
Till each to Zion comes at last,
And stands before the face of God.

&c., &c.
 
Hmmm...

Abide With Me
Not What My Hands Have Done

oh, and O Lord of Hosts, How Lovely (#159 Blue CRC Hymnal)
 
Psalm 147:1-11

Good theme day before Sabbath

When I Survey the wondrous cross, by Watts
http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/w/h/e/whenisur.htm

and this by Cowper


God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sovereign will.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take:
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace:
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.

His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour:
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.

Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain:
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.
 
Hard to choose just one

My favorite is My Jesus I Love Thee
A runner up is "Oh the Deep Deep Love of Jesus":sing:

BTW my boys and I just did a lyric discussion on "Fairest Lord Jesus". We do them because we often don't comtemplate the words we sing on Sundays while we sing them. My aim is to have them sing them with more meaning in the future because they are actually thinking about the words to the songs.

Psalm 72 (Scottish Psalter Version) to the tune Effingham.

The national anthem of Christ's Kingdom.

You can say that again!

For psalms, I think the AV stands above any metrical version, and they are very beautiful sung unadorned to Anglican chants. Sorry I can't give a link. For hymns-- equally hard to choose but maybe

My song is love unknown,
My Saviour's love to me,
Love to the loveless shown, that they might lovely be.
O who am I,
That for my sake
My Lord should take
Frail flesh and die?
(Samuel Crossman, 17th century)

or Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven.

Please can someone tell me, is it thought wrong for Reformed believers to keep the seasons such as Advent, Lent, Easter, Whitsun?
To me the great hymns have always been most gloriously seasonal. They are an ever-changing joy and my answer to "favourite hymn" would probably differ according to the time of year!
 
Chris, we sing psalm 115 the same way. It's a huge favorite with the kids. I thanked many in the thread that are personal favorites or family favorites.

One of my personal favorites is psalm 27 from the 1650 Scottish psalter to the tune of Sankey.
