Book of Common Praise 2017 (REC Hymnal)

This superlative hymnal gathers the best of past and present hymnody into a single volume intended mainly for parish worship. Its collection of sacred songs is perhaps the finest musical expression of “the beauty of holiness” available to traditional Anglicans today. This hymnal is that of the Reformed Episcopal Church, a founding entity of the Anglican Church in North America, and has been approved for use within the Anglican Church in North America. The criteria shaping this hymnal were true theology, beautiful poetry, well-formed music, a suitable match of music with words, and a breadth of timeless hymnody, subject matter and style.
