The beloved hymn ‘In Christ Alone’ gets a new lyric video by Hymns of Grace. It’s a wonderful homage to the classic song. Play the video to sing along!

Hymns of Grace never fails to make songs shine, and that’s certainly the case for its lyric video of ‘In Christ Alone.’ Behind the white lyrics that flow across the screen, there’s a swaying image of a child holding a sword with light emerging from it against a dark, menacing cloud. It offers a perfect image to the lyrics: 

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again

If you like hymn lyric videos or use them for church purposes, then this is an excellent one to use. It is well-timed and easy to follow along with. It’s an excellent hymn, and the singers, Lisa Martin and Taylor Rhoden, sound wonderful as they sing the words. 

Contrary to what some millennials may think, ‘In Christ Alone’ is not an old hymn. It was created in 2001 by worship leaders Keith Getty and Stuart Townend. 

“The theme of the life, death, resurrection of Christ, and the implications of that for us just began to tumble out, and when we got together later on to fine tune it, we felt we had encapsulated what we wanted to say,” Townend recalled of writing the hymn. 

They founded the hymn in scripture, and in a way, the hymn tells the gospel. As you listen to this hymn, sing along and remember the miracle of Jesus and the hope he offers us. 

“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined into our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” 2 Corinthians 4:6
