Does a crimson tide flow in Auburn?

This past Sunday at church, we sang Julia Johnston's classic hymn, Grace Greater than all Our Sin.

 

 The third verse reads
Dark is the stain that we cannot hide.
What can avail to wash it away?
Look! There is flowing a crimson tide,
brighter than snow you may be today.

The line about There is flowing a crimson tide made me wonder if this song is sung in churches in Auburn, Alabama.
