One of my all time favorites is

MY SONG IS LOVE UNKNOWN 1664

The words are beautiful and it is musically excellent.

1. My song is love unknown;
My Saviour’s love to me;
Love to the loveless shown,
That they may lovely be.
O who am I,
That for my sake,
|: My Lord should take
Frail flesh and die? :|

I also love ABIDE WITH ME
A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD
ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS ( now unfortunately banned in most churches)
THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC

The Wisdom and Goodness of God

God shall alone the refuge be,
And comfort of my mind;
Too wise to be mistaken, He,
Too good to be unkind.

In all his holy, sovereign will,
He is, I daily find.
Too wise to be mistaken, still
Too good to be unkind.

When I the tempter’s rage endure,
‘Tis God supports my mind;
Too wise to be mistaken, sure,
Too good to be unkind.

When sore afflictions on me lie,
He is (though I am blind)
Too wise to be mistaken, yea,
Too good to be unkind.

What though I can’t his goings see,
Nor all his footsteps find?
Too wise to be mistaken, He,
Too good to be unkind.

Samuel Medley, A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship (William Gadsby)

This is a "general" hymn and can be sung to several different melodies including "Amazing Grace" and "O For a Thousand Tongues."
