The new hymn book is going to be gradually rolled out over the next two to three years!

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has been compiling a new hymnal that will be for the whole world!

This video just dropped!

The opening scene displays a gospel choir in robes singing with a bit of choreography.

I wonder how tightly the rules regarding Sacrament Meeting Music will be with this new rollout?

The first portion of the new hymnbook is coming in May. Here’s what we know

After six years of work reviewing thousands of submissions and gathering hymns from across the world, 12 hymns of the new “Hymns—for Home and Church” will be available on May 30, 2024. The selections will include “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing” and will be published in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. The hymns will be available in the Sacred Music and Gospel Library apps, and in the online Music Library.

Glimpse Into World Report April 2024: A Portion of the New Hymnbook Is Coming in May 

More groups of new hymns will be released every few months until the full hymnbook is complete in 2026. The same advance release plan will begin for many other languages over the next two to three years.

I would be totally down with us going full charismatic, but we’ll see how it shakes out.

I would love to do a singalong with Aretha’s Amazing Grace album in lieu of Sacrament Meeting once in a while.

It is my all time favorite!

PS I wonder if anyone is going to mention GoEl’s executive summary of his work around the Hamblin case during General Conference?

A few of my favorite gospel type songs are below, including Down by the Riverside, a solo I performed with the Colorado Repertory Singers.
