Episode 190: As Church releases new hymns, leaders discuss ongoing hymnbook project and sacred music

Six years after The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced in 2018 that it was working to create a new hymnbook for members to use as part of their worship and gospel study. Leaders have released the first batch of hymns in four languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French.
On this episode of the Church News podcast, General Authority Seventy Elder Isaac K. Morrison, Primary General President Susan H. Porter, and Hymnbook Committee Secretary Brooke Hirst talk about this sacred ongoing project. They are joined by guest host Church News Editor Ryan Jensen, who leads a discussion about the 13 new hymns released on Thursday, May 30, 2024. They discuss how sacred music helps members better worship Heavenly Father and the Saviour Jesus Christ.

I really enjoyed this podcast and the commentary by all. As a convert, I am especially happy to know songs I grew up in another Christian faith with will be included as well as the Primary songs! Thank you!
