This hymnal is comprised of 550 hymns which are considered the core repertoire of many churches. To these were added 300 titles of all genres appropriate for congregational worship, including contemporary, folk, gospel, New English Renaissance, and high church hymns.

The Complete Book of Hymns brings to life the stories behind more than 600 hymns and worship songs. With background on the composer, the inspiration behind the lyrics, scriptural references for devotional consideration, and a sampling of the song lyrics, this book brings forth the message of these great songs of the faith like never before!

A comprehensive worship supplement that will fit many churches' needs for quality modern music resources, arranged seasonally and thematically. The 330 hymns and songs included represent many influential writers and styles including selections from Bernadette Farrell, John Bell, Stuart Townsend, Michael Forster, Graham Kendrick, Carl Daw, Taizé, Marty Haugen, Timothy Dudley-Smith, Shirley Erena-Murray, Keith Getty, Martin Leckebusch and many more. Designed to help churches broaden their repertoire substantially without the cost of replacing standard hymn books. Many standard hymn books in use today may seem old-fashioned, even those recently published. Keeping up to date is tricky since many new compositions may enjoy a brief spell of popularity, only to quickly drop out of use altogether! Here, an experienced team of UK church musicians and liturgists, representing a wide variety of tastes, has selected the very best of recently written hymns, songs and short chant compositions. Many of these selections have proven staying power and are widely used in both traditional and informal styles of worship, but often will not be found in other hymn books.

Sing a new song! The book, Songs of Grace, includes over 70 new hymns written to be sung to the tunes of many well loved and well known hymns. The new words offer expressions of hope, celebration, and spiritual enrichment. Accompanying each new hymn is a devotion or meditation to be used in reflection of the melodic prayers. The hymns are written to celebrate the ministry of a wide range of church activities, from older adult ministries and stewardship to social justice and many other topics in between.

Additional Editors Are Y. P. Rodeheaver, J. N. Rodeheaver, And C. Austin Miles.
