This hymnal supplement compiled by W. Thomas Smith and Robert J. Batastini draws on the work of contemporary hymn writers (texts), compiling a collection that includes a hymn tied to the gospel reading of each Sunday of the three-year Lectionary. Thoroughly ecumenical, it accommodates variations between the Roman Catholic Lectionary, the Revised Common Lectionary, and other denominational lectionaries. Most texts are set to well-known tunes enabling instant accessibility. The index of Gospel passages found at the beginning of the book, guides the user to the hymn of the day.
