About This Collection: Hymns—For Home and Church

The Lord has said, “My soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads” (Doctrine and Covenants 25:12). Sacred music can bring joy, comfort, and inspiration. Singing together can unify our families and congregations in faith and worship.

In advance of the publication of the new global hymnbook, Hymns—For Home and Church, we are pleased to release small groups of new hymns digitally. A new group of hymns will be released every few months until the full collection becomes available in print. New music will be selected from hymns composed by Latter-day Saints, hymns from other Christian traditions, and songs in the Church’s global sacred music library. These selections will include both hymns and children’s songs, all of which can be used at home, in sacrament meeting, and in other Church meetings.

We invite you to become familiar with the new music as it is released. Use these selections in your daily worship and gospel study and instruction, both at home and at church. Sheet music and audio recordings can be found on the Gospel Library and Sacred Music apps and at music.ChurchofJesusChrist.org. Training materials are also available to help members and leaders use the new music in their homes and congregations.

We thank the many members who have contributed their time, talents, and energy to this sacred music collection. May the Lord bless all of us as we offer to Him the songs of our hearts through sacred music.
