Sacred & religious music; Religion & beliefs; Christian liturgy, prayerbooks & hymnals; Christian life & practice

Like all literature, the words Christians use in worship reflect the times in which they were written and often, as language changes, the words of hymns can become old fashioned, even archaic. Hymn and song writing needs to marry together the musical, the poetic, and the social and theological concerns of the community in which it lives and grows. The words not only need to make sense but have some theological nourishment in them. A hymn has to have something worth saying and singing, even if it's only two lines long.

Songs in Season gladly acknowledges the beauty of music that has sustained Christian communities long enough to become familiar. It offers fresh words to that music while remaining faithful to the witness of the Scriptures and the foundational doctrines of the universal Church.
