Hymns have been written all through the ages. Thousands of these songs have stood the test of time, uniting generations in a common voice of worship. Hymns are still being written today, with an intentional focus on penning timeless melodies, multiple verses full of rich theology, and sometimes a chorus to tie the themes together. Here is a list of our top new modern worship hymns released in 2021. 

Older hymn texts with modern hymn meter and arrangements provide a refreshing balance between sacred and contemporary.  A variety of piano & vocal sheets, simplified lead sheets, or modern orchestrations are available for download.

Some people like to sing by memory, some like to see the words on the screen, and some like the music written out on paper, in "good old-fashioned four-part harmony." We have made this series of Hymn Sheets to arrange all the great contemporary worship songs in a format consistent with the hymnal in your pews. These sheets are great as inserts in your bulletin for your congregation to follow along. By the way, photocopying these sheets for your congregation is covered by CCLI.

The National Day of Prayer is not just a vital part of America’s heritage. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1952, “The President shall issue each year a proclamation designating the first Thursday in May as a National Day of Prayer on which the people of the United States may turn to God in prayer and meditation at churches, in groups, and as individuals.”  As our nation struggles with foreign and domestic threats, economic insecurity, cultural tensions, and continual challenges to basic constitutional rights, millions will take time out of their daily schedules to intercede on behalf of their communities, their nation, and their leaders. 

When the stone rolled away from the empty grave on Easter Morning, Christ declared his victory over sin and death! The world is forever changed, and forever changing. He is making all things new!

Hymns can provide a rich depth to our praise and worship services. Many of these hymns have been modernized in their style but the message and the lyrics are the same. Sometimes the melody is slightly adjusted or the chord progressions are simplified to reflect the style of contemporary worship music. With these arrangements, you should be able to easily flow between hymns and choruses in a worship experience full of spirit and truth.
