New Free Playlist: Old Hymns Made New

One of the most welcome trends in contemporary Christian music is a revived appreciation for the beauty and depth of Christian hymnody. Perhaps unsurprisingly in a world of vapid, repetitive “praise” music and ephemeral “pop worship” hits, the old hymns of our faith—many musically gorgeous and lyrically deep—have not only endured but been rediscovered by younger generations.

These days, it seems almost every contemporary Christian artist will occasionally release an album of their his or her on classic hymns or occasional singles that reinterpret older hymns. As a way to highlight the best of these releases, I put together a playlist of old Christian hymns newly recorded by contemporary artists.

I hope the 100 tracks on the playlist will provide you and your family with a musical resource that will stir your heart to love Christ more and bind your heart to fellow worshipers of generations and centuries past.

You can find the playlist on Spotify or Apple Music. Enjoy!
