ANTHONY SMITH, Music Director, Chatham, Ontario, Canada How has your congregation s worship been impacted by the introduction of Glory to God? In an effort to create more blended worship, before Glory to God I was making bulletin inserts almost every Sunday. But now the various songs and styles I need are all there in one book. TERESA VIOLETT MCCOY, Beckley Presbyterian Church of Beckley, WV Even though my church has only adopted the hymnal for the choir at this time, we have been using a lot of the material in the hymnal to enhance our worship. I feel like the variety of music presented in Glory to God has already made an impact on our choir and congregation. KEVIN FLANNAGAN, Green Spring Presbyterian Church of Abingdon, VA What advice do you have for congregations worried about fundraising for a new hymnal? It s very easy to get a congregation to realize that this isn t a church budget issue, and they will donate one or more hymnals in memory or honor of folks.

WHO DEVELOPED THE HYMNAL? The hymnal was developed by the fifteen person Presbyterian Committee on Congregational Song (PCOCS), a volunteer committee of musicians, scholars, pastors, and theologians. The Presbyterian Publishing Corporation (PPC), the Office of Theology & Worship (OTW) of the PC(USA), and the Presbyterian Association of Musicians (PAM) collaborated to develop the project. In 2012 the hymnal was commended for use in the PC(USA) by the General Assembly. It was published in September PPC funded the entire project; no General Assembly funds were used to create or produce the hymnal. BESIDES ENGLISH, WHAT LANGUAGES ARE INCLUDED IN GLORY TO GOD?

5 WHAT INDEXES ARE IN THE BOOK? x The pew edition has several indexes to assist in the preparation of worship, or for use as a study or devotional resource. These include: First Line and Common Title, Psalms, Scripture, Revised Common Lectionary, Authors, Composers and Sources, Tune, and Meter. GLORY TO GOD ARE THERE LITURGICAL MATERIALS IN THE BOOK? Glory to God has forty-eight pages of essential liturgical resources: the Service for the Lord s Day (including the Lord s Supper with the musical presbyterian responses), hymnal Baptism and Reaffirmation of Baptism, and services for Daily Prayer (Morning, Midday, Evening, and Close of Day). Texts for the Lord s Prayer, Apostles and Nicene Creeds, Brief Statement of Faith, and Ten Commandments are also provided. Some texts are translated into Spanish and Korean.

Some return from the 1955 hymnal, while others are making their first appearance in a PC(USA) hymnal.

The Herald Angels Sing / Jesus, the Light of the World You Are Holy / Prince of Peace There are many old favorites here, but a full 25 percent of Glory to God was written after 1990, so you re sure to find new favorites as well! FOR YOUR Information Every hymn has a brief informational note at the bottom of the page, with interesting tidbits about the history and theology of the text or tune. Here are some examples: 15 ALL CREATURES OF OUR GOD AND KING Sometimes called The Canticle of the Sun, this cosmic roll call allows human beings to give voice to all creation. One of the earliest religious poems in the Italian language, it is made even more expansive by this broad, repetitive melody with interspersed Alleluias. 306 BLEST BE THE TIE THAT BINDS Written to express a pastor s unwillingness to leave a beloved congregation, this hymn is frequently used as an expression of Christian fellowship, especially at the conclusion of the Lord s Supper. The tune is attributed to an influential Swiss musician and publisher. 818 BY GRACIOUS POWERS This text (made from the author s [Dietrich Bonhoeffer] last poem) turns in the middle of stanza two, where broad affirmations yield to a prayer continuing through the rest of the hymn, a prayer that testifies to deep confidence. The minor tune helps to convey such tensions in the life of faith. 4

13 HELPING YOUR CONGREGATIONDecide x Adopting a new hymnal is an important decision for a congregation. Here are ways you can begin the conversation in your church. GLORY TO GOD ARE WE READY FOR A NEW HYMNAL? the presbyterian hymnal HOW TO START THE DISCUSSION IN YOUR CONGREGATION Congregational songbooks are friends and companions on the Christian journey. They accompany believers through the church year, amidst significant events like baptisms and funerals, and in times of great faith and doubt. Hymnals worn covers are familiar and welcome sights in pews. The decision to change hymnals is, thus, an important one. It is important for staff and congregation members to engage one another in conversation. Here is a suggested plan: Pastors and musicians should talk about their hopes and desires for worship and music. Ask questions like: How has worship changed over the past twenty years? Does your current congregational songbook meet your needs? How often do you use music from other sources, or insert music into the bulletin? Would it be helpful to have a contemporary collection of Christian hymns, Psalms, and spiritual songs (from all musical styles)? The Worship Committee should add this discussion to their agenda. Ask questions like: How important is it to use a Presbyterian hymnal? How has worship changed in your congregation since the purchase of your current hymnal? How has worship in your community changed in the last decade? What does your congregation need in a hymnal (large print, electronic edition, etc.)? Begin conversation about how your congregation would fund the purchase of a new songbook. Take results of the staff and committee s discussions to the Session. Use resources here and on our website to further conversation and answer questions. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR HYMNAL FUNDRAISING AND EDUCATION Several complimentary resources are available to help you educate your congregation about the new hymnal, raise funds for its purchase, and introduce it in worship. These include: Complimentary bookplates: These will be given free with all orders. They will be available in four styles: In Honor of, In Memory of, Presented to, or blank. You may order bookplates, or you can download a free pdf of the bookplates to use in your own printer. They will print on standard Avery labels. Visit for the pdf. Offering envelopes will be supplied free to churches for use in hymnal fundraising campaigns. TO ORDER BOOKPLATES OR OFFERING ENVELOPES, USE THE ENCLOSED ORDER FORM, CALL , OR VISIT Dedication service ideas: Three suggested dedicatory liturgies and worship aids are available to help you prayerfully welcome the new hymnal to your congregation. The dedication service can be downloaded at no charge from 11

14 Hymnal HOW TO RAISE FUNDS FOR A NEW The decision to purchase new hymnals is a significant one in the life of a congregation. Here are a few ideas for paying for this important resource: Invite individuals and families to purchase single copies in honor or memory of loved ones. This has historically been an easy and fast way of raising the necessary money. We will supply offering envelopes for use in a fundraising campaign (see previous page). Build this expense into the annual stewardship campaign. Host an evening Sing for Your Supper. Sell tickets for dinner and a congregational talent show, a hymn sing, or a special performance by the choir. Publicize within the local community. Sell the current hymnals to congregation members for a minimal cost. ONCE THE HYMNALS ARRIVE Plan to retire the current hymnals with a short liturgy in worship one Sunday. See the Resources tab on our Web site. The hymnals accompanied your congregation on many important days. It is often appropriate to return dedicated hymnals to their original donor. Plan a celebration once the new hymnals arrive. Sing melodies, use lyrics in devotions, and encourage their usage in all aspects of congregational life. Be sure to write thank you notes to donors! Bookplates for dedicated hymnals are also available.

19 What are some of your favorite things about Glory to God? x I love the background on each hymn found at the bottom of the page. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in wanting to know more about its genesis or when the tune was written versus the lyrics that I totally lose track of where we are in the piece! GLORY TO GOD LINDA KURTZ, Burke Presbyterian Church of Burke, VA I have loved the reaction that I ve gotten from members about the content of the hymns. One the presbyterian hymnal Sunday afternoon, I even caught a member sneaking into the church office to copy the hymn from that morning because they were words that she thought her daughter really needed to hear. I like that Glory to God is easy to use and accessible to the congregation, but I love that it spreads the word about God s love. What more could you want? PASTOR, First Presbyterian Church of Batesville, AR How has your congregation s worship been impacted by the introduction of Glory to God? My congregation s children, youth, and adults whether more classical or contemporary leaning musically can all use the same book... an unbelievable simplifier in planning and communication. Unlike most things that are a compromise this has enough content to be comprehensive for all. It s a like a super hymnal. MICHAEL VAUGHN, Director of Music, The Woodlands Community Presbyterian Church of Spring, TX What advice do you have for congregations worried about fundraising for a new hymnal? Invite the entire congregation to donate a book or books, and suggest occasions on which to give. In honor of a graduate, of your dad on Father s Day, of a new baby (since this will be the hymnal they grow up with!), of an engagement, a marriage, a Veteran on the Fourth of July, etc. Have donation forms handy in literature racks, pews, on tables at church dinners. Everyone can afford to give one book, everyone will feel ownership, everyone will benefit from having Glory to God. JANE VAN VALKENBURG, Director of Music, First Presbyterian Church of Bryan, TX
