The Methodist Hymnal

The Methodist Hymnal is a cherished collection of sacred music that has been a cornerstone of worship for the Methodist Church and its successors, including The United Methodist Church. First published as the official hymnal of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, it has evolved over time, with the 1878 edition marking a significant milestone as the first modern-era hymnal. The 1989 edition, used by The United Methodist Church, continues this legacy, offering a rich tapestry of hymns that span centuries of Christian worship. With a vast repertoire of beloved hymns such as "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God," "Abide with Me," and "O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing," The Methodist Hymnal provides a spiritual journey through timeless melodies and profound lyrics. Whether you're seeking solace, inspiration, or a deeper connection to your faith, this collection offers a treasure trove of musical devotion that resonates with hearts and souls alike.
