Feb 11 2009 9:13PMExcellent hymnal with many old favorites and lots of new ones!
Your team did an excellent job of keeping many "old favorites" while also incorporating many of the best new material. I also very much appreciate the re-keying of some of the songs that were too high for most congregants (and sometimes the worship leader) to sing all the way through in previous hymnals. Our church had not purchased new hymnals since the 1975 edition, but we are working on replacing those now with this fine piece of work. This hymnal provides the material to help us connect with God in worship. Thank you!

Jun 23 2008 9:08AMGreatest Hymnal I have seen yet!
We started using this hymnal last Sunday. The keys are great and it has larger print than most others which is great for our older people. I love how it includes so many of the older hymns like "To God Be the Glory; Quartet style like "If We Never Meet Again"; and contemporary songs like "Indescribable". This is such a well put together hymnal and I would recommend it to any church.

Jun 9 2008 12:04PMA thoughtless book
This hymnal contains very few "hymns." My senior adults looked at it and told me no way we would purchase this book for our church. It looks like someone plugged in their favorite praise songs and called it a hymnal. Does not compare to the 1975 or 1991 Baptist Hymnals. Poor job.
LifeWay Response:

Jun 7 2008 4:59PMThis is a beautiful new hymnal with all the favorites, old and new!
I liked the old favorites and the new favorites that have been included. Also, I like how some songs are connected to provide ease of performance in medley form for worship enhancement. I like that it contains 673 beautiful hymns and choruses for the greatest possible selections - a real help for the director.
