About This Book

A compact denominational hymnal assembled for the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, it gathers traditional and contemporary sacred songs and tunes for public worship, revival meetings, Sunday school, and family use. Hymns are arranged by themes—praise and sanctuary, Scripture, attributes of God, the person and work of Christ, the Holy Spirit, human sin and redemption, Christian life and ministry, ordinances, death and eternity—accompanied by brief editorial material and musical settings that balance older standards with newer gospel pieces to meet varied liturgical and revival needs.
