INTRODUCTION
The Scriptures echo with the sound of singing. At Creation "the morning
stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy" (Job 38:7). The
psalmist declared, "I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise
to my God while I have my being" (Ps. 104:33). The apostle Paul wanted the
members of the church at Colossae to encourage one another in the faith with
"psalms and hymns and spiritual songs" (Col. 3:16). The first angel of
Revelation 14 asks God's people to "give glory to him; . and worship him that
. .

made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters" (verse 7).
This hymnal can be used to lead congregations into more creative and
significant ways of praising God, a deeper love for Jesus Christ, a keener
awareness of the church's place and mission in the world, a fresh knowledge of
God's will for each life, and a preparation for our Lord's second coming.
James White recalled that in the early days of the Advent movement in
America "there was ... a power in what was called Advent singing, such as was
felt in no other." Life Incidents, p. 94. From their beginning. Seventh-day
Adventists have been a singing people. The very first book they published was
the 1849 collection of Hymns for God's Peculiar People That Keep the
Commandments of God and the Faith ofJesus. James White published five hymnals
and four supplements even before the church was formally organized in
1863. White drew freely from the musical heritage of the Methodists, Baptists,
and other denominations. He also carried forward some of the "white
spirituals" from the Millennial Harp of Joshua V. Himes, and added a few new
hymns by Adventist authors Uriah and Annie Smith and Roswell F. Cottrell.
Hymns such as "Gracious Father, Guard Thy Children" and "Jesus, I My
Cross Have Taken" have survived in every hymnal since the first.
A few of the spiritual songs from this early period have been included in the
Early Advent section of the hymnal to provide a resource for the celebration
of the church's heritage. While they may not always reach the musical
standard of the great hymns of the church, they nevertheless remind us of the
fervent faith of our pioneers.
The first "official" Seventh-day Adventist hymnal was Hymns and Tunes for
Those Who Keep the Commandments of God and the Faith ofJesus, issued in 1869.
This served until The Seventh-day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book (Hymns and
Tunes) was issued in 1886. Even though James White had died in 1881, the
influence of his family was still felt in Adventist hymnody. His son J. Edson
White set the musical type for the new hymnal and his nephew Franklin
Belden served as musical editor, along with Edwin Barnes, an expatriate
Englishman who served as organist in the denomination's largest church, the
Battle Creek Tabernacle.
In 1908 Franklin Belden produced Christ in Song, a "tuneful" and rhythmic
collection much loved by congregations. Indeed, popular demand has led the
Church Hymnal Committee to restore some selections from Belden's hymnal.
The next major collection. The (Church Hymnal, appeared in 1 94 1 Professor H
.

B. Hannum played a major role in that collection. In retirement, he offered


encouragement and practical advice that enriched this new hymnal as well.
Although the average life of a church hymnal is about twenty-five years,
Seventh-day Adventists have waited far longer to replace their 1941 volume.
Meanwhile, we have issued a number of smaller collections for special
purposes. At length it was clear that the church would profit from a new
hymnal. Old favorites from many sources needed to be recovered. Hymns
that had not achieved acceptance needed to be set aside in favor of fine new
compositions. New tunes, wedded to familiar texts, promised to revitalize
some hymns, while in other cases the reverse was true new poems —
accompanied by familiar music could give fresh expression to the church's
faith. Church services needed the energy and meaning that additional
worship aids could provide.
In response to these needs the General Conference Music Committee
supported the Review and Herald Publishing Association in the development
of The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal. As plans progressed, the General
Conference Committee, in Annual Council, endorsed the project. A
nineteen-member Church Hymnal Committee was appointed under the
direction of C. L. Brooks, chairman, and Wayne Hooper, executive secretary.
The committee included music teachers, choir leaders, organists, composers,
writers, editors, soloists, evangelists, pastors, and church administrators. The
broad diversity of the Seventh-day Adventist Church was represented by men
and women, black and white, clergymen and laypersons, academics and
administrators. In addition, members of a large advisory committee reviewed
the work and offered suggestions as it progressed.

How Hymns Were Chosen


The committee has sought hymns well suited for congregational singing
and examined each one for scriptural and doctrinal soundness. They prized
music that would be attractive both to old and young worshipers, and texts
that recognized the diversity of cultures among the English-speaking church
members who will use the hymnal. They mined the treasures of Christian
hymnody past and present. They selected favorites from our Adventist
heritage and gospel songs both old and new. They sought hymns that affirm
the distinctive beliefs of Seventh-day Adventists as well as those that express
points of faith we hold in common with other Christian bodies.
The selection process did not rely, however, on the tastes of the committee
members only. Hundreds of pastors and laypersons sent suggestions to the
committee. More than three thousand ministers in North America and
Australia were asked to rate each hymn in the 194 1 Church Hymnal according
to whether they would retain or delete it. In response, the committee retained
widely used hymns along with those that bore important spiritual messages or
enjoyed hallowed associations. In order to make room for hymns of greater
merit and beauty, they omitted some of marginal poetic or musical value. The
international character of the Seventh-day Adventist Church dictated that
patriotic hymns tied to a single nation be passed over. Hymns well adapted to
congregational singing were given precedence over compositions intended
for choirs or soloists.
New hymns were drawn from many sources. Hymnals old and new
provided texts and tunes of enduring value from other churches. Sometimes
it was necessary to alter the text of these hymns to eliminate theological
aberrations or awkward, jarring expressions. With great caution, the text
committee replaced archaic and exclusive language whenever this could be
done without disturbing familiar phrases, straining fond attachments, or
doing violence to historical appropriateness.
Musically the hymnal was improved with the addition of a number of
American folk hymns and Negro spirituals as well as German chorales and old
psaltery tunes. The hymnal includes a few modern gospel songs along with
several striking new works by Adventist authors and composers.

How to Use the Hymnal


A survey of a typical hymnal page will aid the worshiper in the use of the
hymnal. The title is the first line of the hymn-poem, except for those gospel
songs in which a phrase from elsewhere in the text is more familiar. Both first
lineand familiar title are listed in the alphabetical index. To the left is found a
Bible reference if the hymn is based on a specific passage. Below that appear
the author's name, the date the hymn was written, and the author's birth and
death dates. Occasionally the source of the text is given instead of the author.
On the right is the name of the hymn tune if it has a name. Next on the right
of the page is a set of numbers indicating the metrical pattern of the poem,
which is simply the number of syllables in each line (such as LM for long
meter, or 8.8.8.8.). By referring to the Metrical Index one can find other tunes
in thesame meter that might fit the text and add interest to the singing. Where
the same tune is actually printed with different texts elsewhere in the hymnal,
the tune is sometimes written in a different key or with a different
harmonization, and a cross-reference is noted at the bottom of the page.
Cross-references are also used to suggest alternative tunes that are especially
well adapted to a particular text. Just above the musical staff on the right of the
page is the known information about the composer or source of the music.
Sometimes the word unison is printed above the staff to indicate music that is
best interpreted if all sing the melody together. Of course, hymns written in
four-part harmony can be sung in unison whenever desired. Nevertheless, to
make unison singing more enjoyable for all, the pitch of many familiar hymns
has been lowered.
To the left, below the music, is the copyright information if the hymn is still
protected by copyright. This means the publisher has the right to print the
hymn in this book only. For any other use of the hymn one must secure
permission from the owner of the copyright. Any errors or omissions in the
printing of copyright information will gladly be corrected in future printings.
Throughout the hymnal, gospel songs and great hymns stand together in
topical clusters. The worship aids in the back of the hymnal offer readings,
calls to worship, words of assurance, offertory sentences, and benedictions, all
drawn from the words of Scripture. The hymnal includes suggestions for
using these worship aids, and congregations will enjoy exploring new
applications of their own.
In addition to the standard indexes, the "finding aids" include a list entitled
Hymns Suitable for Young Worshipers, a canonically arranged index of
scriptural allusions in hymns (with special thanks to Edward E. White), a
scripture index to the worship aids, and an extensive topical index.

brightens the fellowship of
those who share the "blessed hope."

SENTENCES AND RESPONSES


SCRIPTURE READINGS
The use of Scripture should be central to the worship experience, and
should involve each worshiper. Corporate reading of the Bible in a worship
service includes several of the senses: sight, speech, and hearing. We see the
words before us, we vocalize the words, and we hear a multitude of voices
reinforcing our own. All this increases the impact of God's Word, impressing
its message on our mind.

A congregation and its leaders should not feel bound by the responsive
form in which these readings are presented. A variety of other forms will add
to the significance of Scripture in worship: Any of the readings may be read in
unison. Several readers, reflecting the sense of voices in the passage, may be
used. Antiphonal reading, with the congregation suitably divided (e.g., choir
and congregation, two sections of the church, men and women, youth and
adults), can be a highly effective method of communicating the Word.
It may be further helpful if the reader introduces the passage by stating (1)
the writer, (2) the audience to whom it was addressed, and (3) the
circumstances under which it was written, all in just two or three sentences.
This will help to re-create the mental environment of the Scripture passage
and take the worshiper's attention from the reader to the passage itself.
These readings are arranged topically, using the same terminology and
order as the hymns, thus facilitating the coordination of song and Word. A
special category entitled "Canticles and Prayers" concludes the Scripture
readings. These are literary gems from the New Testament, similar to psalms,
that can be used in the same way as the other readings.
Following the last reading in each topic, a cross-reference to other
readings that are appropriate to the topic is given. In the Topical Index, all
Scripture readings pertaining to a given topic are listed in italics after the
hymns of that respective topic. Additionally, there is a separate Scripture
Index for the Scripture readings and other aids to worship.

CALLS TO WORSHIP
The Bible has many calls to worship. As these calls are heard, the
worshiper is awed by the holiness of God and moved to respond with a
sense of wonder. It is entirely appropriate to vary the form of the call,
which may be extended by the pastor, worship leader, choir, or the
congregation.
Various responsive or antiphonal forms could be used. Some of the
calls presented here in responsive form can also be made by an individual
or the congregation, and those printed for one voice or unison can be
done responsively.
The worship leader may choose to use only a portion of the printed
call. Other Scripture texts and additional sources will be found to vary the
call to worship. In any case, the call to worship should generate a sense of
the immediacy of God and the vibrancy of worship.

CALLS TO WORSHIP
WORDS OF ASSURANCE
One of the greatest joys of the Christian Hfe is the knowledge that Christ
has died for our sins, that we who beHeve are forgiven, and that God
constantly cares for us. The Bible contains rich promises assuring us of God's
love and willingness to forgive. These words of assurance enhance our joy in
worship and increase our sense of worth as daughters and sons of God.
Words of assurance can be used after prayer, particularly prayers of
confession, or they may well be incorporated into a prayer. They can be
especially meaningful in the communion service.
An appropriate introduction to these passages can be a phrase such as
"Hear the word of the Lord" or "Hear the words of Scripture." Some may
choose to conclude the promise with a statement such as "The grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ be with us all."

WORDS OF ASSURANCE
OFFERTORY SENTENCES
Returning our tithes and giving our offerings is a genuinely rewarding
part of worship. In addition to providing the means for the continuation and
growth of the Lord's work, we symboHze our faithful stewardship of all that is
His, as well as the giving of ourselves to the Lord. Using scriptural commands
and invitations for the offering call lends an authenticity and spiritual tone to
that part of worship. The following passages provide an example of the type
of scriptures that can be used.

894 896
1 Chronicles 29:11-13, N.I.V. Psalm 54:6, N.I.V.

BENEDICTIONS
The use of Scripture in pronouncing the benediction provides majesty,

beauty, and dignity God's own Word blesses the congregation. Especially if
the service is begun with a scriptural call to worship, the spiritual benediction
adds balance and brings worship full circle.
The selections that follow enable worship leaders to avoid repetition and
also present a choice of benedictions to correlate with the worship theme of
the day. Some of the selections are doxologies that can be used effectively at
other times in addition to the closing of worship.
From time to time the entire congregation can participate in pronouncing
the benediction with appropriate pronoun changes. Other scriptures may be
adapted as benedictions to build a unified worship service.

discovered it in 2021 while building an eBook archive as a gift
for some dear friends. He downloaded the PDF, de-DRMed it (so
that it is now usable on any device without restrictions) and
single-handedly did the madman’s work of indexing all 900+
hymns, etc. so that it is searchable and usable in any good PDF
software. He finished it around 5AM 13th January 2022, after
working on-and-off since 23rd August 2021.

This digital PDF hymnal is provided for your convenience,


historical archival purposes, the benefit of Darren’s dear friends,
and to assist musicians. However, please consider the sanctity of
the Sabbath day of rest and the example you set for the children
and youth; show respect for the Church Sanctuary and refrain
from distracting your fellow church-goers:
Consider giving the glowing neon idol
(also known as a phone/tablet/PC) you’re
reading from a break, and use a good,
old-fashioned book if possible.
Thank you!

PS. Not that I want to nag like a grouchy granny. I’m a ‘90s kid,
so not that old… Just that it pains me to see my peers more
interested in stupid electronics than the people, experiences,
artwork, messages and scenery around them. I worry about my
little nieces and cousins who are glued to screens from younger
and younger ages. Even if you’re using it for “holy” purposes in
church, this square of light is a distraction, like a flame to a
moth. I struggle myself, as I am an electronic engineer and
computer technician, and constantly hear the siren call of these
mechanical demons that control our lives. Just an appeal to
disconnect from the Matrix and give it all a break, at least on the
one day a week that God gave us to rest.
Best wishes, and happy Sabbath!
Your friend,
Darren
Please pray for me.
