'Great Hymns of Faith' marks the first time the ensemble has produced an entire recording of hymns. Traditional and new songs of faith include 'A Mighty Fortress', 'Children of the Heavenly Father', 'When I Survey the Wondrous Cross', 'Great Is Thy Faithfulness', 'Here I Am Lord', as well as F. Melius Christiansen's settings of 'Praise to the Lord', and 'Beautiful Savior'. The selections are performed here with the rich tonalities and emotional impact we've come to expect from the internationally acclaimed St. Olaf Choir.
