"Amazing Grace" is a great hymn, so it's no surprise that melody is the favorite among Methodists surveyed in 2000 and again in 2006. What baffles me is that "Be Thou My Vision" didn't make the top 20 either year.
That hymn has long been my favorite. And there is nothing like hearing it sung by the scratchy voice of Pedro the Lion's David Bazan, who sadly has lost his faith.

Be Thou My Vision always bothered me. In one of the lines:
"May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!"
the word "Heaven's" is used twice, first with two syllables and then with one.
