In the past twenty years, worship styles in many churches have transformed, emphasizing a personal worship that strives for intimacy with the Father. This renewal led some ministries, perhaps unintentionally, to abandon the great hymns of our faith in favor of newly composed worship songs. In an effort to create a balanced worship style, some ministries mixed new hymns with old hymns often amplifiying the differences between the two.

Hymns for Praise & Worship bridges the stylistic gap between modern-day worship songs and the hymns of our Christian heritage. Encompassing 56 hymns purposely
assembled for their stunning musicality and impactful messages, this collection is the perfect way to bring hymns back to your church! Brought to you by veteran arrangers and worship leaders John E. Coates and Travis Cottrell, who have been creating new settings of hymns for their own congregations for years, each hymn arrangement in this collection offers congregational and choral pragmatism!

With all of the same editions and features as the Songs for Praise & Worship series, this collection is designed to work hand-in-hand with existing resources for worship. Various stylistic changes make these settings flow easily, appeal to the modern ear, and correlate with the styles of contemporary praise & worship songs. No changes were implemented arbitrarily, but each with the goal of making the timeless messages of the hymns leap from the page in new and exciting ways.

Hymns for Praise & Worship also includes demonstration and accompaniment recordings to help teach and lead worship! All of the core editions (Choir/Worship Team, Worship Planner, Keyboard Edition, Guitar Edition) reflect the verses and voicings used on the recordings.
