Glory to God: A theological and musical journey through the new Presbyterian hymnal

Join hymnal editor, David Eicher, Office of Theology and Worship associate David Gambrell, and music associate Amy Simpson for a week with the new hymnal, Glory to God. We will explore the biblical, theological, musical, and liturgical dimensions of this new collection of congregational song. Sessions will be organized around the structure of the hymnal, and will include:

an overview of the theological vision and ‘plot line’ of the hymnal, and insight into the process that led to the creation of this new resource for congregational song;
God’s mighty acts (part one of the hymnal), including “The Triune God,” “Creation and Providence,” “God’s Covenant with Israel,” “Jesus Christ,” “The Gift of the Holy Spirit,” “The Church, “The Life of the Nations,” “Christ’s Return and Judgment,” and “A New Heaven and Earth”;
the church at worship (the central part of the hymnal), including Gathering, Confession and Forgiveness, the Word, Prayer, Baptism, Lord’s Supper, and Sending; we will also explore the service music of the new hymnal; and
our response to God (part two of the hymnal), including “Praising the Triune God” (adoration, thanksgiving, celebrating time), “Joining in the Spirit’s Work” (dedication and stewardship, discipleship and mission, justice and reconciliation) and “Hoping for Christ’s Return” (lament and longing, living and dying, trusting God’s promises).

Be prepared to sing! Morning sessions will offer an abundance of musical examples and evening sessions will feature festivals of song. Evening sessions will offer Ranch-Wide Hymn Festivals.
