Sacred Music Sunday – Another Batch of New Hymns

The church recently released the fourth batch of hymns from the new hymnal. In the previous releases, I was familiar with nearly half of the hymns. This batch is much less familiar to me. I haven’t done a deep dive to see if I know the songs by other names, but off the top of my head, the only one I know is Still, Still, Still. I’m looking forward to getting to know the new hymns.

What have been your favorites so far? Of the hymns that I was already familiar with, I think my two favorites are Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing and Hail the Day that Sees Him Rise. Of the ones that are new to me, I think my favorite is Bread of Life, Living Water.

I have a few others on my wish list that I hope get added in future batches. I would love to see I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say (which shares a tune with If You Could Hie to Kolob), and Love Divine, All Loves Excelling (which shares a tune with In Humility, Our Savior). What’s on your wish list?
