In Christ Alone

This song by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend is yet another new one to me that is sung in RS’s parish. It is a vaguely Celtic style and is an attractive tune.

The text is at Getty’s site (in a very small font) as is the sheet music. It can also be purchased at Townend’s site, where the text is somewhat larger!

There has been controversy over the text, especially:

Till on the cross as Jesus died,

the wrath of God was satisfied.

I think it rather narrows the breadth of atonement theology to put it so baldly as that and I would rather the words were changed, but the authors won’t allow that.
