The Vision
The Need
For a number of years, many have requested an updated hymnal for use in both the Lord’s Supper and in general services which includes both contemporary songs and classic hymns. We have produced a collection of songs that will include the best hymns and songs that have been loved for many years and the best the new songs presently being introduced to the church.
Our Core Values
Faithfulness to God’s Word
Our aim is to select songs that are biblically accurate, doctrinally sound and reflective of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Christo-centric Lyrics
The Lord Jesus Christ is the center of the Gospel and of the Church. We desire the songs chosen to point to Christ in order to draw out praise, worship, remembrance, adoration and dedication to the risen Lord Jesus Christ.
Engage Modern Songwriters
To compile the songs written by living and active hymn writers- both famous and unknown- in order to present new songs of worship and praise to the Lord (Psalms 33:3, 40:3, 96:1, 98:1, 144:9, 149:1)
Multi-Generational Worship
Our desire is to create a resource for all generations to worship the Lord together through the anthems of our faith in an effort to promote unity in the Body of Christ.
Preserve Classic Hymns
Include the classic hymns of the past that teach the truths of scripture for all generations to learn and enjoy together. (Deut. 4:10, 6:7, Eph. 5:19, Acts 16:25, Col. 3:16)
Brethren and Beyond
To preserve the rich heritage we have been given in the Plymouth Brethren movement of Christ-centered hymnody and present it to the church at large as a useful tool in worship and teaching.
Support Music Ministry
Understanding that autonomous and culturally diverse churches all have different styles and skill levels in the singing and playing of music and presenting resources useful for all.
Use of Modern Technology
Realizing that printed hymnals is only one of many mediums used for worship today, this resource will use modern technology to present classic multi-generational songs in a wide variety of both print and web-based platforms.
So many great hymns to choose from. I appreciate the up-to-date English!
