Singing praise and worship songs communally is integral to Sunday morning church services all across the country and the world. While many churches choose to worship God through contemporary Christian songs, there are also many traditional churches who still choose to sing hymns as a congregation. Though these hymns are hundreds of years old, their beloved lyrics are theologically rich, and they remain popular in the lives of Christians today. Some of the most well-known hymns include “Amazing Grace,” “How Great Thou Art,” “It Is Well,” “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” and “Blessed Assurance.” One of my favorite hymns that I remember singing in church growing up is “Jesus Paid it All”-

“Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe / Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.”^[1]

Paul actually includes a hymn about Jesus in his letter to the church in Philippi.
