To help those congregations still deciding on whether adopting the Glory to God hymnal is the right decision, we’ve reached out to those who have adopted to see what their experiences are and find out why they’re so glad they switched. Here are their top ten reasons: - Beloved favorites return: Glory to God brings back many "golden oldies" and beloved hymns missing from previous Presbyterian hymnals, reassuring congregations that they are not losing cherished songs but actually gaining many favorites. See a list of hymns included in Glory to God that were not included in the 1990 blue hymnal.
- Most familiar hymns remain: Congregations appreciate knowing that more than 50% of the favorites from the blue hymnal's content carries over, meaning most regularly sung hymns remain available.
- Strong seasonal and special occasion resources: The hymnal provides a much wider selection of music for Advent, Lent, baptism, communion, healing services, World Communion Sunday, and other special occasions, with its Advent offerings receiving particular praise.
- More singable and readable congregational music: Many users find the hymns easier for congregations to sing thanks to accessible tunes, guitar-friendly arrangements, and strong harmonizations. They also appreciate the clearer layout, improved spacing, and lighter weight despite the hymnal's expanded content.
- Inclusive yet thoughtful language: The hymnal takes a nuanced approach to language, incorporating inclusive language while retaining traditional and poetic wording where appropriate.
- Greater biblical and theological depth: Organized around salvation history and incorporating the Psalms throughout the book instead of sectioned off, Glory to God offers a fuller expression of biblical and Reformed worship.
- Robust digital and projection resources: High-quality projection slides, including musical notation and harmony parts, along with digital tools for worship planning, Scripture suggestions, tune samples, and hymn tracking, make worship preparation easier than ever. Browse these additional resources that can augment your congregation’s use of the pew editions.
- Broader and richer hymn selection: With significantly more hymns in a lightweight and manageable volume, Glory to God offers a diverse mix of traditional hymns, global music, Taizé chants, praise choruses, contemporary songs, and spirituals for use throughout the church year.
- Helpful educational features: The theological, historical, and liturgical notes included at the bottom of hymn pages enrich worship and help congregations engage more deeply with the songs they sing.
- A resource for spiritual formation: Often described as both a hymnal and a prayer book, Glory to God includes hymns addressing grief, healing, unanswered prayers, memory loss, and many other life experiences.
