Then they for sudden joy did weep,
And I for sorrow sung,
That such a king should play bo-peep,
And go the fools among.
Prithee, nuncle, keep a schoolmaster that can teach
thy fool to lie: I would fain learn to lie.
I mo mi ju go do ju go
Il bek pon go jo ju go
Beg gol ri jin to de yo
Nok shi ra do i ko ob ko
Im hyung han il pyun tan shim Ka sil chul li issu rya
Im hyung han il pyun tan shim Ka sil chul li issu rya.
Although my body perishes
And yet one thousand times dies
My bones become ashes
Even my soul vanishes
Still all my love and all my heart
Unchanging remain with you
My everlasting loyalty
Unchanging remains with you.

Well, since J.S. Bach dedicated all his works "Solo Dei Gloria", I'd have to say pretty much anything he ever wrote-- though I have a particular soft spot for "Wachet Auf Ruft Ans Die Stimme".
I also love Schubert's Mass in E Flat, and Beethoven's Mass in C. I could go on-- I'm a choral music lover, and most of the great choral works are Christian. But I'll stop with these for now.

I have always understood these both to be originally more or less religiously motivated. But with great, chill and/or tears inspiring music, I could not care less about the composer's motivation - it's the music, dude!
J. S. Bach: Toccata and Fugue D-minor (Always makes me shiver, in a good way.)
W. A. Mozart: In Diesen Heil'gen Hallen (If the guy has the voice, I cry. Every time. Salmela has.)
"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J
"...anyone who says it’s “just the Internet” can . And then when they come back, they can again." - Tigger
I have a lot of songs that fit this category. Our shared history is embossed with beautiful works by J. S. Bach, Charles Wesley, and Fanny Crosby.
I think I'll choose just one. And to give it a level of difficulty, I'll go with something composed in the last decade. This one is as close to perfect as they come:
Well, not the last few, just dry wretched, nothing left to throw up see.
"The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement but few can argue with it."

About me: I have prehensile eyebrows. I speak 9 languages fluently, one of which other people can also speak. When backed into a corner, I fit perfectly - having a right-angled arse.
