Untitled Hymn: A Collection of Hymns is a 2019 studio album by Chris Rice. After more than a decade since his previous solo release, Rice and Fair Trade Services released a collection of hymns that FeeCCM.com calls a "celebration of the sound theology and sweet poetry of these classic songs of faith." [3] Timothy Yap at Hallels is more reserved in his review, expressing disappointment that Rice has released another collection of hymns instead of original songs, but concludes that this disappointment is "redeemed by the creativity and ingenuity invested in re-imagining these hymns."
