Dove Award-nominated artist Randall Goodgame curates a compelling musical journey with contributions from some of Christian music's finest, including Ellie Holcomb, Ginny Owens, and Andrew Osenga.
Ideal for congregational, group, family, and personal worship, the Scripture Hymnal includes:
- Over 100 word-for-word Scripture songs with piano accompaniment (NIV, ESV, CBS, and more)
- QR codes for instant access to the full Song Library
- Additional Scripture references for devotion or call-and-response singing
- Worship planning index for easy reference
With hand-drawn illustrations by Stephen Crotts, quotes from modern and ancient church voices, and a silk ribbon marker, the Scripture Hymnal stands in an age-old tradition of saints singing the story of Jesus into the world.
The Scripture Hymnal is stylistically diverse within western sensibilities. Thirteen writers contributed to the included songs, all with different musical and church backgrounds. Although categories are subjective, and many songs could fit in more than one category, every song is indexed as either Traditional, Contemporary, or Children/Family.
Traditional: songs typically driven by piano or organ, with syllables sung on the beat
Contemporary: songs typically driven by guitar, with more modern melodic patterns
Children/Family: songs with child-friendly text and melodies
Songs are also indexed by theme, order of service, church calendar, sacrament, and first lines.
The Scripture Hymnal was created to help congregations sing and learn God's word, and ultimately to help them draw closer to Jesus. However, any Christ-follower who desires to memorize Scripture and grow in biblical literacy will find the Scripture Hymnal a useful resource.
No matter your musical background, the Scripture Hymnal invites you into a deeper encounter with God's Word--through song.
