Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the official hymnal of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Published in English in 1985, and later in many other languages, it is used throughout the LDS Church. This article refers to the English version. The book was published on the 150th anniversary of the publication of the first LDS hymnbook, compiled by Emma Smith in 1835. Previous hymnbooks used by the church include The Manchester Hymnal (1840), The Psalmody (1889), Songs of Zion (1908), Hymns (1927), and Hymns (1948).
On June 18, 2018, the church announced that updated versions of the hymnbook and the Children's Songbook would be created, by soliciting feedback for a one-year period concluding in July 2019, culminating in unified versions of the books in languages used by congregations worldwide, having the same numbering system.[1]
Organization
The book contains a table of contents, followed by a preface with a message from the church's first presidency, which encourages church members to use the hymn book at meetings and in their homes to invite the spirit and to teach doctrine.
The hymn section is divided into thematic groups:
