Author Description

Hymns for the Revised Common Lectionary contains a list of congregational hymns and songs for use with the scripture readings of the Revised Common Lectionary for the calendar year 2007. The volume serves as a desk reference for worship planners to use in preparation for Sunday worship and major observances of the liturgical year. Recommended hymns and songs are provided for every Old Testament, Psalm, Epistle, and New Testament reading in an easy-to-use index format. Designed for use by United Methodists; other denominations will find it helpful to cross-reference with contents of their hymnals and songbooks. Dean McIntyre pays close attention to connecting passages of scripture with varied cultural worship styles from the United Methodist Hymnal; Mil Voces Para Celebrar: Himanrio metodista; Come, Let Us Worship: The Korean-English United Methodists Hymnal; The Faith We Sing; and Songs of Zion. Every hymn title is listed with its corresponding numbers in the five sources used. This unique feature allows worship planners to better prepare for the upcoming Sunday's text and special days in the Christian year.
