Stuart Townend was born in 1963, the son of Church of England vicar John Townend of Christ Church in Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire, England, the youngest of four children. While each is given equal credit for both words and music, it is generally understood that the original lyrics were penned by Townend and the melody was provided by Getty. INTRO.: A hymn which proclaims the uniqueness of the name of Christ by which we can be saved is “In Christ Alone.” The text was written and the tune was composed both by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend. “…There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12)
