[C. Edmund Wright]

Those are four great anointed hymns - no doubt - but to your point, I think you could go through a book of 400 hymns and find 375 that are not anointed at all.

A church I went to many years ago had "Request Night" at Sunday evening service where anyone could ask for a particular hymn from the hymnal. Invariably, there were the same six or seven that got requested every time and they included those four. I agree that the truly GREAT, Spirit-filled hymns that speak to our hearts are few, BUT, I don't discount the Holy Spirit using just about anything to touch someone's heart at some time.
