Now I have to tell you this... not all this music is new. About 2/3rd's is taken from their regular Psalm Hymns book with the last 1/3 coming from the newest work in progress.
They've excerpted this selection to make an easy to use book just for the holidays, making it easier for people to focus on God in all the festivities of Christmas. Check it out, all the tunes are familiar hymn tunes we sing at Christmas.
You will notice that each hymn has the tune (and alternate if needed) listed in the top corner of the page. There are no notes that were present in the first Psalm Hymn book that I reviewed.
28 hymns to bring us back to God during the Christmas season. Isn't that just a marvellous thing? NO really.. isn't it? Imagine singing through the Psalms with the elderly or the sick, bringing that comfort from God's word.
Want to grab this book and use it to sing hymns at Christmas time? Well it's rather wonderful, they've made the font larger for ease in singing. (who wants to squint while caroling eh?) Makes it a great gift to give to seniors as well as the larger font is easier on the eyes you know?

Interesting looking books. Sometimes it is good to have that specialized selection, even if it is reprinted materials from a previous book.
ReplyDeleteyes, it very much can be.
