The sweetest Christian lyrics of all ages have revolved around His Person and work, in whom lies a boundless wealth of grace and mercy. O how Christ leads and shines in the believers’ singing! These hymns of ‘Immanuel’ are constantly sung in the holy of holies of the human heart. Here, such singing in His presence dismisses all doubts, casts off unholy ambitions, brings tears of repentance, restores the joy of salvation, invokes love and hope, and turns eyes heavenward. Here, dissensions among assemblies and theological schools are silenced, and hymnists from every age and sector of the Christian Church raise one voice to glorify one Lord and Savior. Here, Christ is the theme of all ages, tongues, and creeds; the divine harmony over all human and cosmic discords; and the summing up of all things in the heavens and on earth. Hymns should be simple, full of the experiences of Christ, the appreciation for Christ, and in some measure elevated above mere prose. A desirable hymnbook may be compared to a majestic building, with foundations made solid by accurate truth and sound doctrine, its superstructure elevated with the spirit of poetry, and its interior compartments containing the radiance of spirituality. Spirituality has been the fundamental test in our choice of hymns more often than high poetic literary style.” 6 distinctive features make this treasury useful in drawing nearer to the Lord: 1. Faithful restoration of the authors’ original words as far as practicable. 2. Hymns & spiritual songs for BOTH public & private worship. 3. Special attention to themes often overlooked in hymnals: sovereign grace, overcoming life, personal advent of our Lord, union with Christ, and the sweetness of abiding communion with Him. 4. Covers the broad lyric spectrum spelled out in Ephesians— “psalms, hymns and spiritual songs” (Eph. 5:19) 5. Guided by rare and deep associations of hymns with their history: lyrics breathed by dying lips, traced on prison walls, sung with hushed voices in catacombs, chanted joyfully at midnight, and avowed fearlessly at the fiery stake. 6. Inclusion of carefully researched biographical profiles of authors & composers, so that believers of all backgrounds can meet on the level ground of a common faith.

The large volume of classical hymns and the care in which they are arranged is just outstanding. One small glitch, however, is when I choose a hymn to play from the Topical Index, the app always crashes. Otherwise, this is a wonderful collection of Christ centered hymns that I’m thankful to have with me. I also have the matching hymn books which are the best quality. ### 5/5 — This is a must have app! *2025-03-06, version 4.4* Amazing Digital Hymn Book best on iPads! SDG ### 1/5 — Nothing to try *2024-11-02, version 4.1* I’ve got the app but it give me nothing to choose from apart from flipping the page to the next page, i will end up delete it ### 1/5 — Not as advertised *2024-08-07, version 4.1* 1. This was not listed as requiring a subscription. After it downloaded- surprise you have to pay. But I was like ok, I’ll try the free trial and if it’s what I’m looking for I’ll pay. So, I picked the free 30-day trial option. 2. This is literally like a pdf version of a hymn book. No menus, no search ability, no sound or music, no favorites or any kind of options at all. Just flipping pages. I tried closing and reopening the app, double tapping on the page, etc. It just kept flipping pages back and forth. 3. In the App Store it showed a completely different app than what I got. NO THANKS! ### 5/5 — Wonderfully Versatile for Worship! *2022-09-10, version 3.6* Yes!! To be able to adjust the PITCH and the TEMPO!! Fantastic! I’ve had this app for years and have always been utterly pleased with it! I can play my own instruments along with the piano because I can select how fast they play and in which key it plays. Where else can you find that? Piano music will repeat as long as you want it to and it lets you select songs for a favorite playlist. Then there are all of the amenities that a hymnal provides that they have included such as topical index, index of metrics. Ability to export pages and to print songs, and more. Well worth every penny. ### 4/5 — Not Bad *2016-11-01, version 3.3* But could be better. Needs to play more than two stanzas. It is a little difficult to use; when switching to a new hymn, the tempo cannot be changed until the song has started. Then it has to be paused, change tempo or pitch and hit play again. Piano is pretty good. ### 5/5 — What a blessing! *2016-10-04, version 3.3* Oh how the Lord furnishes a table in the wilderness! ### 5/5 — A+++++ *2015-10-16, version 3.1.2* This is an amazing tool for hymns. It has great features and is good to help the word of Christ dwell in us richly. This is also good for groups with no musicians because it can play the songs but itself and you can turn looping on. Great for devotions etc. Tell others! May God bless you through this, for His glory! ### 5/5 — Best! *2015-06-16, version 3.1.2* I have downloaded several online Hymnals...and this is by far the best. Well worth the price. The only problem is that it has kept me up until 4 AM going through all my favorites! Awesome- Thank you so much guys. ### 5/5 — A blessed app! *2014-08-17, version 2.0* One of the best hymnal apps out there! Amen. ## Frequently asked questions about Christ In Song ### What is Christ In Song? Christ In Song is a digital hymnal application that provides access to 856 hymns with piano accompaniment.
