Title: Christ Is My Hope
Artist: The Innocence Mission
Year: April 12, 2000
With Christ Is My Hope, the band applies the same musical aesthetic to an
assortment of Christian hymns and traditional spiritual songs, but in a way
the result is the opposite: Here the band is finding the everyday in the eternal.
The effect of these gentle and pure folk arrangements is to humanize the material,
to take lofty classical hymns ("It Is Well With My Soul," "O Sacred Head Surrounded")
customarily sung by robe-clad organ-accompanied choral belters and ground the music
in earthly reality with light acoustic guitar and piano backing. This is life-affirming liturgy,
aimed at the soul but mindful of the body. - Evan Cater
