Hymn Suggestions

FOR THE LECTIONARY

compiled by Christopher Fischer, MMus

This list of suggested songs from the Book of Praise (1997) is based on readings for the Sundays and festivals of the liturgical year, as appointed in the Revised Common Lectionary (1992, The Consultation on Common Texts.)

We trust that these resources will continue to support and encourage the use of the Book of Praise, to the glory of God and to the building of Christ’s church.

Notes

1. Please consult each year’s published Lectionary tables for the Scripture readings proper to each day.

2. The selected songs are arranged in a sequence based on the fourfold pattern of worship, i.e., each song in a group is given in order, corresponding to Gathering, the Word (often a metrical psalm), the Response, and Sending Forth. (One song is provided for each of these four segments of the worship service.)

3. Some Sundays and special days are common to all three Lectionary years (A, B & C.) Song suggestions for these days are given in Table IV, after the table for Year C.
