Alphabetical Index of Hymns in GLORY TO GOD: Hymns and Songs For Advent and Christmas

The congregation I serve as Interim Pastor recently purchased Glory To God: Hymns and Songs For Advent and Christmas. At $5 per copy, this lightweight paperback hymnal containing seventy-five Advent and Christmas Carols is a great resource for congregations that don’t want, don’t need, or can’t afford the more expensive hardback Glory To God: The Presbyterian Hymnal. I hope that the congregation will make exclusive use of it during Advent and Christmas. As I have started to plan Advent and Christmas worship, however, my planning would have been made easier if an alphabetical index had been included. Since it wasn’t, I have prepared my own and I share it with you.
