"In the past several decades, the renewal of the spiritual life of the Church has created a pressing need for new hymnody and liturgical music. This has served as a catalyst for a world-wide outburst of creative liturgical music and musical activity of a magnitude perhaps unparalleled since the Reformation. 'The Hymnal 1982', the culmination of more than a decade of work by the Standing Commission on Church Music, incorporates many of the riches of this contemporary renaissance. This hymnal is a response to the challenge of the Church's mission to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to a changed and changing world. 'The Hymnal 1982' is a revision of 'The Hymnal 1940', and as such stands on the foundation laid by the Joint Commission on Revision of the Hymnal." -- Preface.

"This book contains music that may be led in a congregation without the use of any books or photocopies, and mostly without rehearsing before hand. Congregants are able to sing from the heart and have their hands free to take part in worship: lighting candles, walking to the font -- anything is possible. .... Many of these songs were composed during a retreat sponsored by the All Saints Company and the Church of St. Gregory of Nyssa in San Francisco. During that week, composers prayed and sang together, discussed congregational singing, composed, and critiqued each other's work. The All Saints Company has also launched a series of conferences called 'Music that Makes Community' to instruct people how to teach and sing in this way. For more information see www.allsaintscompany.com". -- Editor's Note.
"In these 85 recently composed songs to be learned and sung by heart, you will find a renewed commitment to congregational music. Step-by-step instruction will assist you in teaching and will give you confidence as a leader of song". -- back cover.
Contents: Singing from the Heart / Donald Schell -- Singing Paperless Music in Your Congregation: A Practical Guide / Emily M.D. Scott -- Editor's Note / Marilyn Haskel, Editor -- [85 songs] -- Sources of Texts -- Composers Index -- Topical Index -- First Lines and Titles.

"For this collection, I have surveyed many sources of music for congregations of all ages as well as mainline denominationsal and children's hymnals, probably more than 3,000 pieces in all, to compile music that dates from 1980 onwards. .... Knowing that the children will not get to sing the music if adults don't enjoy it too, I have included songs and hymns that are most effectively sung in harmony unaccompanied. Not all churches have organs and organists today, and this music encourages congregational singing and individual competence. .... This book is essentially liturgical. It is arranged according to the shape of the liturgy and the church year. It will be invaluable for inter-generational liturgies." -- Intro., p. iii.
159 songs and hymns with music arranged in subject sections.
Photograph of "Our Lady of Pew, Westminster Abbey, London" with the text of the hymn "O Little Town of Bethlehem" written by Bishop Phillips Brooks. The hymn begins: "O little town of Bethlehm, how still we see thee lie !/ Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by./ Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light:/ The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight."
