All Time Gospel Favorites is the fortieth solo studio album by American country music singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn. It was released in August 1997, by Heartland Music.[1] It was only sold for a limited time. It was re-released on May 25, 2004, by Time Life Records, in an abbreviated 20 track edition with new cover art.[2] Time Life Records would release a 10 track edition on April 24, 2012, with the same cover art as the 2004 edition.[3]

All Time Gospel Favorites was the first album Lynn recorded following the death of her husband, Oliver Lynn, in August 1996. It is an album of gospel songs. Some are new versions of songs Lynn had previously recorded on her three gospel albums, Hymns (1965), Who Says God Is Dead! (1968), and God Bless America Again (1972). Some are new songs that Lynn had not previously recorded.
