Hymns is the fifth studio album by American country music singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn. It was released on November 15, 1965, by Decca Records.
The album consists of 12 gospel and inspirational songs that were either popular over the years or were written by Lynn herself for this album. Well known Christian songs such as "How Great Thou Art" and "In the Sweet By and By" appear on the album.
It was reissued by MCA Records in 1973, after Decca's consolidation into the MCA label. It was reissued on CD by MCA Special Products in 1991, then again by King Records in 1998. The King release features a different track running order than the Decca/MCA issues.
"Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven" was covered by Alison Krauss & the Cox Family on their 1994 album I Know Who Holds Tomorrow.
The album peaked at No. 10 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart.
Recording of the album took place on June 3, June 7, and June 8, 1965 at RCA Victor Studio, Nashville, TN.
