Develop a Discipleship System
Index of Congregational Hymns and Songs Listed by Year of Copyright or Composition
What follows is a chronological listing of hymn and song titles frequently used in United Methodist and other churches. The list may be used in a number of ways:
- The titles below in bold are those named as favorites of United Methodist and other Christians. (See "United Methodism's Favorite Hymns" by Dean McIntyre.) The list below provides a chronological context for these favorites.
- Reading the entire list chronologically shows the evolution of musical (and to a degree, textual) style. The reader may see connections between the popularity of any given hymn or song and any specific generation active within the church at that time. For example, three of the current top five United Methodist favorites ("Spirit Song," "Here I Am, Lord," and "Hymn of Promise") were composed within the past twenty-five years. The reader might wonder which three previous favorites have been replaced. Does the recent appearance of the new favorites indicate a generational shift in the church and an accompanying style of music preference?
-
These titles and dates of copyright or composition are taken from three sources, and page numbers are indicated in parentheses for the first two hymnals, which are United Methodist publications. The third hymnal is included to provide additional titles from a source used by some non-United Methodist churches of a more conservative, evangelical bent. There is no duplication of titles between the two United Methodist publications, but there may be between either of these and The Hymnal for Worship and Celebration. Those duplications are not noted on the list. The three hymnals are:
- UMH -The United Methodist Hymnal (Nashville: The United Methodist Publishing House, 1989)
- TFWS - The Faith We Sing (Nashville: Abingdon Press, 2000)
- The Hymnal for Worship and Celebration (Waco, TX: Word Music, 1986)
- Theologians and historians may be interested in tracing changes in the hymns and texts as they reflect changes in the society at large. For example, what has been the impact upon the church's song by movements such as the charismatic movement, civil rights, or feminism?
This list is by no means exhaustive since it includes only those titles often listed as favorites, frequently sung titles, and a more complete listing of titles with composition or copyright dates from the late nineteenth through the twentieth century. The list contains a fairly complete listing of composition titles (not arrangements, descants, etc.) from The Faith We Sing that are still under copyright. This is not one of the indexes available in the Worship Planner Edition of The Faith We Sing.
