to order quantities for congregational

use.

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.
