Church of Christ Hymn Book 15: A Collection of Sacred Songs and Hymns



The core of this hymnal is the great hymns of preceding generations, pulling together the rich heritage of the Pilgrim Hymnal of the Congregational Christian churches and The Hymnal of the Evangelical and Reformed churches.

What better way to offer praise and thanksgiving for the resurrection than with Easter hymns! Reflect on the goodness of God and the joy of victory over death through Jesus Christ with these beautiful songs. Whether for personal quiet time with God or for church worship, these traditional and contemporary Easter hymns will renew your faith and spark gratitude.


Ray Parker, a recent Yale graduate, penned the words to this hymn in a personal notebook that he used for poetry, prayers, and prose. He wrote it in response to a difficult year and never intended for anyone to ever see it. Years later, he ran into his friend, composer Lowell Mason who had been working on a book of hymns and wanted to know if Palmer had anything to contribute, and Palmer showed him these words. Mason loved them and immediately went to work putting them to music.


Educated at Brasenose College, Oxford, Heber was ordained in the Church of England in 1807. He first served his family's parish in Hodnet, Shropshire (1807-1823), and in 1823 his dream of being a missionary was fulfilled when he was appointed bishop of Calcutta. He worked and traveled ceaselessly until his sudden death in 1826. Heber began writing hymns partly because of his dissatisfaction with the poor psalm singing in his congregation and partly because he was influenced by the vital hymn singing among Methodists and Baptists. He wrote hymns while in Hodnet and expressed a desire to compile a hymnbook with its contents appropriate to the church year. His fifty-seven hymn texts were published posthumously by his wife in Hymns Written and Adapted to the Weekly Church Services of the Year (1827), a hymnbook that began a tradition of arranging the contents of hymn collections according to the church year.


One of the major ways Christians have let the Word of God dwell in us richly throughout history has been through singing hymns in church gatherings. Hymns are beloved because they share the richness of the gospel and the beauty of Jesus Christ in a catchy and memorable way.
