- After six years of work reviewing thousands of submissions and gathering hymns from across the world, 12 hymns of the new “Hymns-for Home and Church” will be available on May 30, 2024. The selections will include “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing,” and will be published in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. It will be available in the Sacred Music and Gospel Library apps, and in the online Music Library.
I'm so excited to learn about the addition of "Come, Thou Fount Of Every Blessing" in the new hymn book. I've been longing for this.
It was actually in one of the versions of the hymnbooks but was taken out. I am glad it's being added back in.
Good to know that hymn is apparently making a comeback!
We can thank Mack Wilberg for that addition. His arrangements for 1) the BYU Men's Chorus and then 2) the Tabernacle Choir took this hymn from being sung so little that it was dropped when the 1985 hymn book was put together to being by far the most loved hymn not in the current book.
They did surveys for the 1985 hymnbook and it was rarely included as a requested hymn. Michael Moody said it was the worst change made.
Please put more upbeat joyful songs in it. Songs that shout for joy, alleluia type of songs in it. I think we should stand and move for some of our hymns. Movement has been shown to help so many people with learning and feeling things deep down in our heart. It helps with remembering and memory too.
Please publish a book about the experience of selecting these hymns!
I loved Amazing Grace in the Saturday night session! I love that song and the arrangement was outstanding!!!
When I was a child, shortly after the 1985 hymnbook came out, I remember that my ward had a ten minute practice class of the hymns during the time between sacrament and Sunday school/primary. That went on for about a year or so. I think it was to familiarize the members of some of the hymns.
I remember that too. Since no one else seemed to remember it, I thought it was just my ward which did it.
Yes I remember this too! Our ward was doing this when we moved to Australia in 1988
My daughter is on the committee/staff who have been working on this amazing project. I can't help but be a "proud papa" in seeing her talents being used for such a thing as this at such a time as this! (Not only has she been blessed with amazing musical gifts, but language skills as well - being conversant and fluent in several languages.)
That is awesome!
You must be very proud. ❤
That would be so exciting for her! I'm jealous!
I have a comment regarding the Hymn "were you there" It says sometimes it causes me to tremble. Sometimes? I think it should say :Oh, How is causes me to tremble.
I’m thrilled that Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing will be back in the hymn book!
Come thou fount! I'm so happy! I'm excited to hear songs from all over the world as well
I just hope they add "It is Well With My Soul" to this new version....They could replace Hymn 51 "Sons of Michael, He Approaches" (as I've never heard it sung in my entire life)
I can't wait to learn the new songs, relish the old songs, and enjoy them all together with those who love our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ! Thank you!! 🙏 😊
The hymns have regularly been the most crucial part of my gospel study for many years now. Even when I can’t pick up scripture to read, I can hum and sing a hymn
I loved singing "Placentero nos es trabajar" to the tune of "In the Sweet By and By" as a missionary in Latin America in the 90s. I look forward to hearing and singing more worldwide hymns!
So happy to see Come Thou Fount coming back to the hymnbook!
Everything about this is so powerful and inspired. I can't wait for this new hymnal to come out. I remember in the mid 80s when the current hymnal for the US came out as the new hymnal and it was a big deal then, but this new worldwide hymnal is a much bigger deal. It will be a great blessing for the whole church to be more united in worshipping through music with the same hymnal worldwide which includes hymns from all over the world.
Awesome! I love the hymns, because it's a way we can play or shout our praises to our loving God! It's a way I can help bring the light of Jesus Christ into my life, and into the lives of others.
I love hymn songs and hymn singing. I wish we had choir singing in leading the congregations in every sacrament meeting and not just on special occasions. If that was a calling, it would be the one calling I would love to have forever 😊🙏
I can’t wait for our gospel worship to be invigorated with songs from many cultures! While I love many of our current hymns, I am excited for our praises to the Lord to make a little more “joyful noise”!! 😍
I’m so excited! Come thou fount has been an ultimate favourite of mine. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I'm so happy that Come Thou Font of Every Blessing will be in the new hymnbook!
Let's keep "He is Risen" from our existing hymnal. I recently had a powerful spiritual experience when singing that hymn in church.
I hope the new hymnbook will have "Press Forward Saints."
Our Father in Heaven and His Son our Lord Jesus Christ smile in delight to us every time we sing the songs of Zion. The Holy Spirit descends to us when we sing from our hearts the hymns of the Church. Thanks to the Church for marvellous works such as these. 💖💖💖
Thank you, thank you, thank you, to the music committee for the work being done on this new Hymnal under the direction of the First Presidency. I'm grateful to all those who contributed, all those who engrave and compile, and most especially all those who prayerfully translate this sacred music. I was excited to receive the 1985 hymnal which had some of my favorite songs including "Hark all ye Nations," which I first sang in German during my mission in Austria. I am even more excited to receive this new compilation of hymns which will be sung by congregations worldwide. How grateful I am to live in an age when our Heavenly Father speaks to his children under the aegis of a living prophet!
I'm excited to get a physical copy someday and see how they're going to fit the hundreds of new songs in there. This is going to be truly awesome.
The work is truly hastening. Can’t wait for this updated hymnal.
Well, glad to see my favorite hymn put back on the hymnal. Ever since it was taken out, it seems to be sung every conference, devotional, or gathering.
I'm so excited about this!
I’m very excited for Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing and also the new hymns! Can’t wait to sing them in church
We are a small ward experiencing explosive growth of newcomers from all over the world. We are excited but limited in our ability to offer support in different languages, as yet. The hymns being offered in the app couldn't have come at a better time for us. FYI, we need Swahili ASAP😅
My daughter is in the committee and staff and one of her assignments has been to help edit and oversee several of the African language contents, including Swahili.
I’m so excited that “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing” will be included!!
Glad to see this is being addressed! I can only imagine how big of an undertaking it is to reconcile it all.
This is quite the endeavor! Getting the translations to carry the messages and still fit the melody and rhythm of existing hymns...God bless each person involved in this tremendous work 🙏
I love the church of Jesus Christ and our wonderful music!
It brings and the spirit so strong as well as soothes the soul!
Wonderful. I am looking forward to seeing the new hymns and also the hymns published in multiple languages. I served a mission in Uruguay on the border of Brazil and I have a love for both Spanish and Portuguese.
Can't wait to see which psalms will be included in this new version
So exciting! Thanks to all those who have worked so hard to provide this updated worldwide hymnbook!
The time has finally come, brothers and sisters! Hallelujah! ❤️🙏
I am looking forward to singing the new hymns. Hymns are my favorite part of church.
Awesome! I hope this will bring a burst of joy to our meetings
So excited to have "Come Thou Fount" readded to the hymnal. I am also looking forward to seeing all the other hymns that will be made available as well!
We definitely need more hymns like the "Spirit of God" to raise our voices in praise and to feel the spirit in our church meetings. We sang that song recently and it had been a long time since I had felt the spirit so strongly in our sacrament meeting. Please more of those hymns that invite the spirit upon our souls!! If I could pick the hymns, those are the only hymns I would choose those that move the soul to absolute resolution and conviction to serve and praise God.
Hallelujah!
I should hope that this comes out in hard copy as well. As a ward chorister, even though I'd be in the generation to use the technology, plenty aren't. They'll do the right thing, and I will continue to use the hymnbook in use now until that day when the hard ones come out.
Only the advance releases are going to be digital only. It’s an opportunity for the chuch to sing the new songs and give feedback before the final draft of the new hymnbook is compiled and published.
It's a beautiful video to watch. Thank you for sharing. That's wonderful; we are adding more hymns so more cultures can be familiar with them. ~Chad James.
I am so excited!
I CAN NOT wait!
As a musician, I'm very very excited about the new hymns:)
This is cool. I sure hope Beautiful Savior and some popular Irish hymns make it in.
Beautiful Savior is already included in the Primary Songbook.
Totally agree that it should be in the regular Hymn book as well. 👍💗
Yaaaaaasss!!! What a blessing these new hymns will be to strengthen our faith and lift our spirits! Cannot WAIT to listen to them all :)
Excited to see the first portion of the new hymnbook and grateful for all those who have contributed to this project!!
It will be so amazing! More songs to sing to our Lord when He comes!
There is nothing like spiritual music.
So excited can't wait for May 🙏✝️
I hope ward organists will get these hymns soon. Some of us will need to practice!
Thanks for the Birthday gift!
How exciting! I can't wait❤

Would be cool to have translations of the original lyrics included somewhere in the Gospel Library app for reference since the lyrics in other languages often differ significantly from the source material.
