Full edition details +
A collection of hymns with a singular focus on Christ alone. Each hymn is amplified with a Scriptural reference along with intimate biographical sketches and testimonies of the authors, poets, theologians, and musicians.
Christ is the center of spiritual song as well as genuine faith. The sweetest Christian lyrics of all ages have revolved around His Person and work, in whom lies a boundless wealth of grace and mercy.
Oh, 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 of all human and cosmic discords; and the summing up of all things in the heavens and things on the 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.

This is an amazing collection of songs and their intent to highlight the songs that promote the centrality of Christ is exactly what I was looking for. I feel Christians need to preserve the songs. There’s too much fluff out there that focuses on our own feelings instead of Christ. Love the quality of binding also.
But could be better.
Oh how the Lord furnishes a table in the wilderness!
This is an amazing tool for hymns. It has great features and is good to help the word of Christ dwell in us richly. Great for devotions etc. Tell others! May God bless you through this, for His glory!
... 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.
I am so pleased with this collection of worship songs! It includes almost all of the best hymns of the past 300 years and I was overwhelmed that my very favorites are all included. In all, I am very pleased and consider this to be well worth what I paid. Highly recommended!
After showing the song selections to several other song leaders we all agreed we are only familiar with about one fourth of the hymns. I really wish you could view all the songs included in a hymnal app before purchasing it. This is really an unfair practice but all the apps we have bought do the same thing. And I don't want to discourage anyone from trying this app because it does have some good hymns but if you're looking for an app to use as a hymnal you probably need something different especially if you will be using it with youth. I wish I could give this app a better review but it really does need more hymns that are more up to date and that can in addition be used with youth groups. As I said, love the format but the content needs some work.
I searched for hours for Christian Hymns, with music, and it is better than I originally thought. It is quite simply a Bible based, Christ centered application that I and my family are truly enjoying. I would recommended this to my friends, and anyone who likes Christ centered Biblically based hymns. It is not contemporary Christian music.
First of all, let me say I love hymns, even though I am only 26. I wanted a hymnal for my iPad, and found this! So glad I bought it. It is wonderful. Has all my favorite hymns on it, including "Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken". You won't regret it. I believe it even has a way to print it. Just wonderful!
"Christ in Song" is a wonderful treasury of classic hymns. The selection of hymns is very extensive, easily navigable, and easy to read and play. Highly recommended.
