The Voice of Faith
Timothy Dudley-Smith
"The fourth collection of its kind from one of today's most acclaimed hymn writers, The Voice of Faith offers new words for worship, many set to well-known tunes." "Recalling and celebrating faithful, holy living in times past strengthens the life and witness of the church today and so these hymns will be of especial value for saints' days and patronal festivals, and also to accompany a particular lesson or gospel reading throughout the year." "The second part consists of hymns based on well-known liturgical texts from Morning and Evening Prayer and Holy Communion, a metrical Creed approved by the Church of England as an authorized Affirmation of Faith, and metrical versions of three well loved prayers, including the Lord's Prayer." The tunes to which these words have been set strike a balance between the traditional and contemporary. They include some familiar favourites, some recent compositions that have begun to find their way into regular worship and some which may be entirely new to users of this book. For almost all the hymns in this collection alternative tunes from popular hymnals are also suggested.
