These contemporary hymn arrangements embrace the beauty of singing these songs with believers through the ages while doing it in a new and unique way.

Modern, Classic, and even traditional hymns are part of connecting the church to its forebears in the faith—to the ancient tradition and saints on whose shoulders we stand. Certain hymns have become the go-to resource for encouragement for millions of believers across the span of time. These hymns can be sung all year round and remind us of God's faithfulness to Christians of the past so that we can rely on God's grace in the present.
