Rejoice and Sing is a completely new collection of hymns and songs for the United Reformed Church. It is the first major hymnbook to draw together the three traditions within the URC and as such represents a significant landmark in the history of the denomination. The editors and compilers have aimed to offer a worship tool for use by today's Church. The material included ranges from the traditional and familiar to those pieces with a more contemporary feel. In addition to hymns and psalms, Rejoice and Sing contains a number of liturgical items, including responses and prayers for congregational use. Although intended primarily to reflect the distinctive character of the URC, Rejoice and Sing is also offered to Christians in wider ecumenical circles as an important new resource for sung worship.
This volume serves as a comprehensive liturgical resource designed to unify the diverse musical and theological traditions of the United Reformed Church. The editors, representing the collective expertise of the denomination, compiled this collection to provide a functional worship tool that bridges historical hymnody with contemporary congregational needs. By integrating traditional hymns, psalms, and modern compositions, the book establishes a standardized framework for communal singing and prayer within the church.
