Glory to God

The new Presbyterian

hymnal, Glory to God, will be

published in September of 2013 but is

now available for pre-order for

individuals and congregations. This new

book of congregational song will

include:
• Over 800 hymns, psalms,

and spiritual

songs.
• Approximately 50% of

included hymns will be from the 1990

Presbyterian hymnal. The remaining

pieces will come from former

Presbyterian hymnals, other

denominational songbooks, and individual

authors and composers.
• A musical

setting of almost every Sunday

lectionary psalm.
• Music from six

different continents.
• Music

covering all major historical and

contemporary sacred genres, including

approximately thirty-five African

American/Gospel

hymns.
• Comprehensive

indexes.
Glory to

God will also contain worship aids

and printed liturgies for Sunday

services (including baptism and the

Lord's Supper) and services for daily

prayer. Complete orders of service will

include congregational responses,

prayers, and creeds. These will be

perfect resources for "green"

congregations, camps and conference

centers, daily prayer services, and

time-pressed pastors.

The pew

edition of Glory to God is

available in either of two colors, red

and purple, in either of two versions: a

Presbyterian edition and an ecumenical

edition. The Presbyterian version is

Glory to God: The Presbyterian

Hymnal and will be stamped with the

PC(USA) seal on the spine. The

ecumenical version is Glory to God:

Hymns, Songs, and Spiritual Songs

and will not have the seal. The contents

of both editions are identical.
