Sing the Faith, a supplement to The Presbyterian Hymnal. It features more than 280 hymns, many of which have been written by and for Presbyterians since the publication of The Presbyterian Hymnal.

Sing! has grown from Keith and Kristyn Getty’s passion for congregational singing; it’s been formed by their traveling and playing and listening and discussing and learning and teaching all over the world. And in writing it, they have five key aims: • to discover why we sing and the overwhelming joy and holy privilege that comes with singing • to consider how singing impacts our hearts and minds and all of our lives • to cultivate a culture of family singing in our daily home life • to equip our churches for wholeheartedly singing to the Lord and one another as an expression of unity • to inspire us to see congregational singing as a radical witness to the world They have also added a few “bonus tracks” at the end with some more practical suggestions for different groups who are more deeply involved with church singing. God intends for this compelling vision of His people singing—a people joyfully joining together in song with brothers and sisters around the world and around his heavenly throne—to include you. He wants you,he wants us, to sing.

A Singing Faithis a book of inspiring hymns composed by renowned hymn writter Jane Parker Huber. It includes an introduction in which Huber discusses her songwriting process, commentaries on the hymns, and a topical index.

A collection of 230 hymns, with music, drawn from a wide range of liberal religious sources, all written in the 20th or 21st century; many were composed by Unitarian and Unitarian Universalist writers, often drawing their imagery from other faith traditions. The collection includes songs for blessing partnerships and relationships. The compilers have drawn on a wide range of musical styles, using keys in keeping with current group vocal range.

This edition features independent ("Stylized") keyboard parts that support the melody and choral harmonies but often do not duplicate them. It contains everything in the Singer's Edition, indicates the voicing contained in the Pew Edition, and includes full arrangements of each selection. If desired, music leaders can rehearse singers or lead worship from the piano using either the keyboard accompaniment as written or the chord symbols as a guide. The attractive three-ring binder makes this edition easy to use.
