Hymns\u2014for Home and Church<\/a> will be getting its first preview tomorrow! Back at the start of April<\/a>, the Church announced that “12 hymns of the new ‘Hymns\u2014for Home and Church’ will be available on May 30, 2024.” We already know that “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing<\/a>” will be among those (that was explicitly stated in the April announcement and has been shown in footage related to the release), but we aren’t sure what the other ones are yet. After this first release, there will be “new batches coming every few months.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Even more recently, the icon associated with the hymnal was released, along with other information related to it, at a centralized site<\/a> for the hymn book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the role-out that I am grateful to see is that the Church is working hard to provide resources to help learn the new hymns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Audio recordings are released for every title, including piano and guitar accompaniment and a melody-only vocal. Members can familiarize themselves with the new music by creating playlists within the Sacred Music app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The interactive sheet music on the updated Online Music Library provides tools to hear each voice part of a hymn and transpose music into new keys.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ward music coordinators can use the \u201cSacrament Meeting Hymns\u201d tool on the Gospel Library app to program music for sacrament meeting. The tool has been updated to allow selections from the new advance release of\u00a0Hymns<\/em>, the current hymnbook, and the current\u00a0Children\u2019s Songbook<\/em>\u00a0. By using this feature, members of the congregation will have quick access from their home screen to music that is not available in the pews.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    At the same time the site was updated, emails were sent out to Stake, Mission, and District Presidencies; Bishoprics and Branch Presidencies; Members of Stake and Ward Councils and their Presidencies; Members with Stake and Ward Music Callings, encouraging them to introduce the new music in local services using these resources. In particular, the Sacrament Meeting Hymns tool was mentioned as a way to help communicate hymn selections to members before meetings, thus allowing them the opportunity to learn the hymns at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
