About the book >.>.> 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 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. The precepts guiding that commission led to a comprehensive book of unusual appeal and excellence which served as a model for a number of hymnals produced since the middle of the twentieth century.
