Mission Praise: Words

Description

To celebrate its 30th anniversary of publication, a brand new edition of the ultimate combination of traditional hymns and modern worship songs. 'Mission Praise' is a much-loved hymn book, and has remained so since its outset in 1984. Initially used for Billy Graham's Mission England rallies - where thousands of people converted to Christianity - it has become a staple of worship throughout the UK and across the world. It was the first hymn book of its kind, introducing more modern styles of music into worship yet retaining the best of traditional hymnody loved by churchgoers of every age. This new, expanded edition of the complete 'Mission Praise' includes the whole of the existing collection of over 1000 songs and hymns, and adds the best new songs in various styles from the past few years. This brand new edition has been put together by 'Mission Praise''s original editorial team of Peter Horrobin and Greg Leavers, and contains - in this 30th anniversary year - over 100 new songs and has, by popular request, been split into two volumes in order to be more user-friendly.

Greg Leavers & Peter Horrobin were compilers of the UK's bestselling songbook, 'Mission Praise'. Peter is director of the Ellel Grange Centre for Christian Healing.

'There is no more complete collection of every item that a church musician might be called upon to play or sing.' - The Royal School of Church Music 'I welcome this new edition of Mission Praise and I hope and pray that many thousands more voices will join the crowds that I remember thirty years ago, who came together to sing God's praises!' - Cliff Barrows
