Hymn Suggestions

FOR THE LECTIONARY

compiled by Christopher Fischer, MMus

This list of suggested songs from the Book of Praise (1997) is based on readings for the Sundays
and festivals of the liturgical year, as appointed in the Revised Common Lectionary (1992, The
Consultation on Common Texts.)
We trust that these resources will continue to support and encourage the use of the Book of
Praise, to the glory of God and to the building of Christs church.

Notes
1. Please consult each years published Lectionary tables for the Scripture readings proper to
each day.
2. The selected songs are arranged in a sequence based on the fourfold pattern of worship,
i.e., each song in a group is given in order, corresponding to Gathering, the Word (often a
metrical psalm), the Response, and Sending Forth. (One song is provided for each of these
four segments of the worship service.)
3. Some Sundays and special days are common to all three Lectionary years (A, B & C.) Song
suggestions for these days are given in Table IV, after the table for Year C.
