The guiding principles behind this collection are: • congregational singability • biblical and theological richness • musical excellence • liturgical versatility • relevance to today’s worship styles and to today’s concerns New features include added provision for all the seasons of the Church year, new items for carol services and other popular occasions where the repertoire is in need of refreshing, more choices for all-age worship, fresh translations of some ancient hymnody, beautiful new tunes, short songs and chants – alleluias, kyries, blessings etc. and music from the world church.

A Phenomenal Collection
I loved the quality and quantity of hymn tunes and texts, including some newer stuff with depth beyond the average 21st century praise music.

excellent. Pages could be slightly thicker
Overall, excellent. Pages could be slightly thicker, but they're OK. There are a few hymns that I would say imbibe of the "spirit of the age", but again this hymnal contains a fine selection and I would order it again.

Packed to the rafters with everything you need!
The print is somewhat finer and the music smaller than the New Standard version, making it more difficult to read. This is a shame when there is so much white space left on some pages and they want upwards of £120 for the two-volume organ edition! That said, the content is fantastic and will be welcome by many choirs and congregations who have spent too long using two books. It's nice to see some harmonies added to previously mundane unison versions, although the opportunity to add exciting descants seems to have been missed by using the same composer too many times, whose arrangements for the top line all seem to start after the main melody. Really nice to see that the popular arrangements of Christmas favourites have finally made their way over from the Carols for Choirs series. The editors have succeeded in mixing contemporary and traditional together, nicely organised with some useful indexes. Exciting for choirs while embracing familiarity and security for all-important congregations who resist change. If you are looking to move forward and change your hymn book, this is definitely the publication to go for.

Quality replacement hymnbook with music
A quality hymnbook with some well-chosen additional hymns/good harmony and best tunes available in 2023. Like it lots and often choose to play from this version rather than others. A little expensive but has years of life in it.
