Oh yes! 'In Christ Alone' has a hymn-like quality about it. I first heard it sung at the a baccalaureate service @ Calvin College 6 years ago and was also quite taken with it. We sing it at church...at both the contemporary and traditional services. I've heard it sung @ an Episcopal Eucharist, as well.
It is a hymn--just a new one! :-) I love this too--and the video's images, along with those wonderful lyrics, were very moving. Thank you for sharing it. Prayers going up for you and El Jefe.
I introduced it at our summer Praise time (10 minutes of contemporary hymns before the traditional worship), and received quite a few 'great song' from the older members of the group.
What I usually do is start the 3rd verse very soft, then build to a triumphant end of the verse.

Grace, what would I do without bloggy buddies like you??? I've never heard this before and like it very much.
Thanks for introducing this.
