I agree that we should not neglect our traditional music...

I think it's important to know how to play those styles/music to get the older saints comfortable, and to usher in the spirit so that all may praise and worship comfortably....

That's why I usually play traditional music at my church on 1st sundays (pastoral) and 4th sundays (men's day), but in between I stay up to date!!!!

Don't forget our older saints!!! And to the young people (including me!!!) stop playing shout music so fast!!!!

Slow it down sometimes so the church mothers and older saints can get their dance in!!!

All To Jesus I Surrender (amoung other hymns)
Soon & Very Soon
The Blood That Jesus Shed For Me
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Praise Him
This Little Light of Mine

These are the essentials I think that all should know, but if there are others you feel that are essential please add to the list because I need to learn them..... :).

May I add to your list....
Hold to God's Unchanging Hand
Look & Live
Just a Little Talk with Jesus




In addition to these songs, what are some other good up beat traditional songs.  I need a larger pool of songs to chose from.  I've been playing for my church for about a year.  The church is primarily made up of older members, so traditional songs are more appropriate.  I tend to play 3-4 traditional songs and 1 - 3 songs that you would not typically find in a hymn book on the Sundays that I play.

We sometimes sing this song as our opening song (on a much smaller scale as far as instruments and members go  :-)   ). 
  What are some other songs that are similar to this that can be used as opening/progressional songs. 

Thanks for your input.
