The United Methodist Hymnal is a collection of hymns and liturgical resources used by the United Methodist Church. First published in 1989, it includes a wide variety of songs, prayers, and worship materials that reflect the church's beliefs and traditions. The hymnal serves as a guide for congregational singing and personal devotion. In addition to traditional hymns, the United Methodist Hymnal features contemporary songs and music from diverse cultures. It aims to enhance worship experiences and foster a sense of community among congregants. The hymnal is regularly updated to include new compositions and revisions to better serve the church's evolving needs.
