Rejoice and Sing is a completely new collection of hymns and songs for the United Reformed Church.

It is the first major hymnbook to draw together the three traditions within the URC and as such represents a significant landmark in the history of the denomination.

The editors and compilers have aimed to offer a worship tool for use by today's Church.

The material included ranges from the traditional and familiar to those pieces with a more contemporary feel.

In addition to hymns and psalms, Rejoice and Sing contains a number of liturgical items, including responses and prayers for congregational use.

Although intended primarily to reflect the distinctive character of the URC, Rejoice and Sing is also offered to Christians in wider ecumenical circles as an important resource for sung worship.

Reviews for Rejoice and Sing

`Rejoice and Sing has a wider selection of hymns and tunes and is the more traditional in nature and perhaps more attractive to lovers of hymnody.' Christian Herald 'The kind of church music that forms a particularly strong part of the faith in a new generation of believers is ... represented.' Incorporated Society of Musicians 'That of Rejoice and Sing is less appealing, but a close examination reveals a growing awareness that the Church at worship is no longer a collection of individuals meeting together, but the people of God as a family of the church having a renewed sense of belonging to one another.' The Organ, November 99 Rejoice and Sing should be warmly welcomed for its generous scope and mix of Christian song from the first to the present century. It is worth its cost. Incorporated Society of Musicians Some new and exciting modern hymns and songs. Incorporated Society of Musicians Recommended as a core book for Congregationalists. Incorporated Society of Musicians The publication of Rejoice and Sing is exciting for a number of reasons - most obviously because it is the first official hymn-book of the United Reformed Church since its foundation in 1972. Hymn Society Bulletin ... the book shows the degree to which hymnody has moved on in the last few years. Hymn Society Bulletin In the main, the alterations are unobtrusive and felicitous ... wisely they have not pushed these things to extremes. Hymn Society Bulletin ... interest is aroused by the inclusion of much material from Taize' and Iona. Hymn Society Bulletin ... there are useful indexes of themes and biblical texts. Hymn Society Bulletin Alan Gaunt, ... shows great facility as a translator, and redeems many ancient hymns from the oblivion to which they might otherwise have been consigned. Hymn Society Bulletin There is a fair input of Welsh tunes. Hymn Society Bulletin ... so much good new material in the book ... Hymn Society Bulletin ... much of its new material is easy to learn ...
