We are quick to forget where we came from, to forget our roots. We love the novel and the modern. It is a sad tendency because it shrinks our world. We no longer see that as the people of God we are part of something so much bigger than ourselves and than our times.

We don't want to live in the past, but be informed by the past. After the preaching of the word of God, we believe that the singing of hymns may be one of the best ways to follow in the footsteps of the faithful - those who have loved the One True God through the years. The presentation of the gospel of Christ in these songs is rich, poetic, and timeless.

Though we are more committed to the message of the hymns than the arrangements (they are in some ways novel and modern), it is our hope that the way they are played makes them more accessible and singable to the Church.

Steve Malone

"When this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save."
