🎵 In Christ Alone (organ, with last verse reharmonisation/descant)

At Monkton, we sing this wonderful modern hymn several times each half-term. This version features a last verse reharmonisation and optional choir descant by Joseph Gooddy. If you are interested in a pdf copy of the score, please comment below and I will send it to you.
Played by Joseph Gooddy on the organ of Monkton Combe School Chapel, July 2024. Audio recorded on Zoom H1n.
In Christ alone my hope is found;
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This cornerstone, this solid ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My comforter, my all in all-
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save.
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied;
For ev’ry sin on Him was laid-
Here in the death of Christ I live.
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!
And as He stands in victory,
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me;
For I am His and He is mine-
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death-
This is the pow’r of Christ in me;
From life’s first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home-
Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand.

Your talent truly shines through in this piece. Wonderful job!

[@JackMusic-and-songs]

One of my favorite hymns. Beautiful

[@bobbyhendley3084]

Frankly, all of the hymns that Keith and Kristyn Getty write are fantastic! Unlike most current-day writing, their texts are far deeper and more profound. But this one (which included Stuart Townsend) is my very favorite by far.

[@JohnCavicchio]
