Hymn Time (Rebel REB 1668) was originally recorded and issued on vinyl in 1988, then reissued on CD in 1993 with five additional tracks, bringing the total to seventeen songs. The core lineup — Allen Mills (bass, vocals), Dempsey Young (mandolin, vocals), Gene Parker (banjo, vocals), and Steve Wilson (guitar, dobro, vocals) — is joined by Bobby Hicks on fiddle, with earlier session contributors Roger Handy and Bubba Chandler present on some tracks. The record stands as Lost & Found's definitive gospel statement, centering the quartet-style vocal harmonies that had distinguished the group since its 1973 founding in Grayson County, Virginia. Parker's syncopated banjo and Wilson's dobro work provide the instrumental backbone through material drawn from the traditional hymn canon.
