Hymn Notes for HymnFest (October 13, 2024)

There will be many hymns we will enjoy for our HymnFest, but a few are newer and may not be familiar to everyone.  In order to be a little better prepared for some of these newer hymns, you can preview two of them below.

His Robes for Mine (Hymn 568) was written by Christ Anderson and music is by Greg Habegger.  This hymn highlights God's Great Exchange--that Jesus takes our sin and gives us his righteousness.


I Run to Christ (Hymn 833) was written by Christ Anderson and music is by Greg Habegger.  This hymn encourages us--in the face of fear, tears, strife, or temptation--to run to Christ for refuge and comfort.


Afflicted Saint, to Christ Draw Near (867) was written by John Fawcett (1740 - 1817) and the music was written by Constance Dever.  This hymn reminds us that, no matter what affliction we endure, we find refuge and peace in Christ alone.  No affliction can destroy this peace.
