"Hymns" is a 1965 Gospel album by American country singer-songwriter, Loretta Lynn.

This was Lynn's first Gospel album of her career. The album was a pick of 12 Gospel and Inspirational music 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 in this album. The album peaked at #10 on the Top Country Albums chart. Over the years however, the album has been considered a rarity to find, however it wasn't until King Records re-issued the album in 1998 and the album could be found and purchsed again, this time in an available CD.
