When was the last time you remember singing about God\u2019s wrath? If the modern hymn \u201cIn Christ Alone\u201d is in your playlist, then it was probably more recently that you realised.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Christ Alone\u201d was the first hymn that writers Stuart Townsend and Keith Getty produced together, and to this day, it remains their most well known. Since its release in 2001, \u201cIn Christ Alone\u201d has been referred to as \u201csurely the worship song of the century so far<\/a>.\u201d \u00a0The song has been covered by scores of artists including Owl City<\/a>, David Archuleta<\/a>, and Natalie Grant, <\/a>and has been translated into several different languages.<\/p>\n
