Hymn of the Century

This past weekend we had Keith and Kristyn Getty at the
college for a concert.  I know it’s quite
early in the century, but I will put what’s left of my reputation as a church
historian on the line in saying that “In Christ Alone” will be the hymn of the twenty-first century.  It’s the kind of hymn that would make Luther
proud, not to mention Isaac Watts and Charles Wesley.  With a
perfectly simple melody and profound lyrics, it’s going to be hard to beat this
hymn.  “No guilt in life, no fear in
death–This is the power of Christ in me.” 
Amen.
