About This Hymnal

I am delighted to be able to present to you, at last, our own Living Church of God

hymnal! It is the fruit of the hopes, prayers and efforts of a team of dedicated men

and women. I will not list them all. But it is appropl~ate to note that, before he died, .Mr.

Carl McNair and his wife, Dorothy, contributed very significantly to this project. We are

grateful for their efforts and their constant encouragement of the team.

\-X;'e have obtained permission to use many of the hymns written years ago by Mr.

Dwight Armstrong-the younger brother of Herbert \v, Armstrong. 1\lost are based on

the Psalms, which God originally inspired to be sung. We have also included a few hymns

composed by other members of God's Church, including some by Ross Jutsum that !'vIr.

Armstrong personally approved. We have also included, as Mr. Armstrong did, a few

other favorite hymns with scripturally sound lyrics. All of us who have worked on this

hymnal hope that it will be a blessing to the Church and its members, and an honor to

the Great God whom we serve.

One of the primary reasons King David of Israel was a "man after God's own

heart" was the feeling of worship and adoration toward God that he exhibited

throughout His life. Even the Eternal God appreciates it when His own begotten

children entlmsiastically lift up their voices to Him in sincere praise and adoration. Psalm

98:1-6 instructs us, "Oh, sing to the LORD a new song! For He has done marvelous

things; His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory. The LORD has

made known His salvation; His l~ghteousness He has revealed in the sight of tlle nations.

He has remembered His mercy and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends

of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth;

break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises. Sing to the LORD with the harp, with the

harp and the sound of a psahn, 'vith trumpets and the sound of a horn; shout joyfully

before the LORD, the King."

If we can learn to express our love for our Creator by the way we wholeheartedly

participate in the song services each and every Sabbath, this will be an honor to the God

who gives us life and breath. It will be very pleasing to God if, as we sing the hymns in this

hymnal, we all grow spiritually in our feelings of love and worship toward the One who is

our ultimate Father. As King David exclaimed, "I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I

will sing praise to my God while I have my being" (psalm 104:33). May this passionate love

for our Creator and our God be fully expressed by our joyous singing of the hymns in this

book!

Thank God that He so powerfully used Herbert W. Armstrong to teach the

fundamental Truths of God! Thank God for using Dwight Armstrong and others to

compose these fine hymns. And I am sure that all of you will join me in thanking those

who so patiently and lovingly worked long hours on the many tasks required for the

completion of this volume.

Let uS all be extremely grateful to God that He has given uS life and breath and, most

of all, that we may truly "know You, the only true God and Jesus Christ \Vhom you have

sent." Let us passionately worship that one true God as we sing these hymns.
