 New Century hymnal September 22, 2008
The church I recently started working for uses this hymnal. And like the majority of our congregation, I don't like it. In taking gender out of some things and using more modern pronouns and other factors, they have destroyed some of the most beautiful poetry. Many hymns that I have known and loved since childhood are either removed from this hymnal or so altered that it is difficult to tell it's even the same hymn. In my humble opinion, "Dear Lord and Father of Mankind" shouldn't be altered to become "Dear God Embracing Humankind." It just doesn't have the same impact. Neither does "Nearer My God to You" in place of "Nearer My God to Thee." And don't even get me started on what they did to the Christmas carols. I suppose I can understand the need to change some things, but this is really over the top and overdone.
 A New Century Hymnal: UCC Pew Edition June 2, 2008
The book was in excellent condition and was received shortly after the order was submitted
mis-represented product January 23, 2008
New Century HymnalThis product link does not state "large print", so it may not be the exact product that I am reviewing. The description on Amazon poorly represents the actual product of a hardcover hymnal in large print. It turned out to be a ream of paper with only the lyrics in large print, no music score at all, and included a less than 1 inch 3-ring binder (the so-called "hardcover") for the user to insert the selections from the ream of lyrics for the service. I expected to recieve a hymnal like the large print United Methodist Hymnal that truly is a hardcover hymnal with lyrics and music and very little bigger than the standard hymnal. I tried to give this product a 0-star rating, but Amazon requires at least 1 star to pass the edit in this review process.
 Good Resource September 9, 2007

I think that the UCC Hymnal is a very good resource. I love that it uses old tunes and new ones that are accessible to the congregation. The modern language is great for those of us who can't remember what some of the archaic words mean. There is also the inclusive language for people that I also like, which I think is extremely important to have in hymnals as much as possible. However, I do not like the ultra inclusive language that it has when it comes to describing God. It sounds so awkward.

Deserving of high praise as a collection of hymns of the United Church of Christ. Gender-sensitive and ethnic-sensitive throughout. Contains valuable ORDERS OF WORSHIP, HYMNS of Praise, for the Christian Year, for the Faith and Order of the Church, for the Life and Order of the Church, PSALMS and CANTICLES, SERVICE MUSIC, WORSHIP RESOURCES, and valuable index helps of Author, Composer, and Source, Metrical Index, Tune Index, Scriptural Index, Lectionary Index, Topical Index, First Line Index, Descant Index. As a member of the UCC, I am grateful to have my own copy of this excellent hymnal available as a valuable resource at any time during the week.
