Christmas Hymn
Amy Grant · A Christmas Album [1983]
Who sent his Son to earth
Jesus left his rightful throne
Became a man by birth
The virgin's baby son
All creation praised Him
God incarnate come
Come to Bethlehem
Still a higher call had He
Deliverance from our sins
Come to set all people free
From Satan's hold within
For by the sin of man we fell
By the Son of God
He crushed the power of Hell
Death we fear no more
Now we stand with strength, with power
The sons of God on earth
Faithful to the final hour
Christ's righteousness our worth
And now all praise is given
For the babe, the Son
The Savior King is risen
Christ is Lord indeed
For the babe, the Son
The Savior King is risen
Christ is Lord indeed
Christmas Hymn
Amy Grant's "Christmas Hymn" stands as a defining track from her 1983 release, A Christmas Album. During this period, Grant was establishing herself as a pivotal figure in contemporary Christian music, blending traditional gospel sensibilities with modern pop production. The recording captures her signature vocal warmth and the polished, accessible sound that would later propel her to mainstream success. As part of her early holiday catalogue, the song reflects the earnest, faith-driven approach that characterized her work in the early 1980s. It remains a cherished element of her discography, showcasing the artistic maturity she brought to seasonal themes before her crossover dominance in the following decade.
