![Part 3: Twelve Hymns Added to New Hymnbook
This is an exciting day,” said Sunday School General President Paul V. Johnson. “Many of these hymns have ties with the Old Testament, and we think it’ll be a blessing to people in their study of the Bible.”
The course of study for the Church of Jesus Christ in 2026 is the Old Testament, making these hymns a timely addition.
“We study the [Old Testament] at home, and we study it in church, and the hymns help teach the doctrine and principles of the gospel with power and clarity,” said President Johnson.
The new hymns now available are:
“Joyfully Bound”
“My Covenants”
“When I Am Baptized”
“The Power of the Holy Ghost”
“Elijah and the Still, Small Voice”
“Jesus Is My Shepherd”
“My Song in the Night”
“This Is My Father’s World”
