Description
Here is a further collection of new hymn texts by Martin Leckebusch, whose writing is finding a place in many hymnals both in the UK and beyond. He writes in the tradition of the classic hymn writers but uses fresh, contemporary language to explore the Christian faith for the twenty-first century. These words are mostly set to well-known and widely published tunes, making them easily accessible to congregations for use in worship. This latest selection comes as the author passes the milestone of thirty years writing hymns; his work draws inspiration from a wide range of sources while always remaining true to Scripture. The book is made highly usable by the inclusion of Biblical, thematic and other indexes. As the author says: ‘Hymns – both those from past generations and those by contemporary writers – remain an important element in my own Christian walk, and one of the ways my faith is nurtured and sustained. I hope that readers of this collection will find here insights and words to encourage and strengthen their own faith.’
