Favorite hymn

I cannot point you to a single, specific answer. Different data yield different results.

In a recent favorite hymn survey, “I Know that My Redeemer Lives” garnered the most votes. Among students, “In Christ Alone” was the top choice. When it came to congregational reporting of hymn usage, “Oh, Come, Oh, Come, Emmanuel” rose to the top.

Keep in mind that these results did not come from scientific polls, nor are they to be viewed as “official” in any way.

The popularity of hymns understandably varies from one person to another. We might have “all-time” favorite hymns; we might value one hymn over others in specific situations and times in life. Regardless, what a wonderful blessing we have in our hymnody. King David had it right: “I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me” (Psalm 13:6).
