One of the most welcome trends in contemporary Christian music is a revived appreciation for the beauty and depth of Christian hymnody. Perhaps unsurprisingly in a world of vapid, repetitive “praise” music and ephemeral “pop worship” hits, the old hymns of our faith—many musically gorgeous and lyrically deep—have not only endured but been rediscovered by younger generations. These days, it seems almost every contemporary Christian artist will occasionally release an album of their his or her on classic hymns or occasional singles that reinterpret older hymns. As a way to highlight the best of these releases, I put together a playlist of old Christian hymns newly recorded by contemporary artists. I hope the 100 tracks on the playlist will provide you and your family with a musical resource that will stir your heart to love Christ more and bind your heart to fellow worshipers of generations and centuries past. You can find the playlist on Spotify or Apple Music. Enjoy! Playlist Songs “Hallelujah!

Gen Z is the most secular generation on record—the least likely to believe in God, go to church, or have a religious affiliation. One reason for this is their parents—Gen Z is also the generation least likely to have grown up in church, attended Sunday school, or prayed over a meal with their family. But Gen Z hasn’t been hostile to the faith. They’re not protesting Christian speakers or telling stories of how Christianity hurt them. Instead, they’ve been largely apathetic. Until now. This past fall, we began hearing from campus ministry staff about packed-out gatherings, rapidly growing Bible studies, and unexpected numbers of conversions. “When we hear the gospel—that somebody loved us even when we were wretched and sinful—that’s what really draws our attention,” one University of Illinois Chicago student said. “That’s what really drew me in. And I feel like that’s what’s going on with Gen Z as well.”
