PREFACE
By the grace of God, we are able to bring to you our new hymn
book, the Reformation Hymnal. For many decades the plan to pub-
lish the hymnal of the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement
remained only as a good desire, but now it has become a reality.
The General Conference Council selected a committee of five to
work on the hymnal, and every one of them has contributed
toward the accomplishment of this challenging task. In everything
the Lord blessed us and helped us wonderfully.
The hymns contained in this hymnal are public domain. We
have included in the book many of the old advent hymns, as well
as hymns from different denominational hymn books. One impor-
tant feature of the Reformation Hymnalis that hymns of a high pitch
were transposed to a lower pitch. This will enable all to sing more
comfortably.
To sing praises to the Lord is an act of adoration. It is the object
of this hymn book to praise, exalt, glorify, magnify, honor, rever-
ence, worship and extol the name of the Lord, our Creator and
Saviour.
“The melody of praise is the atmosphere of heaven; and when
heaven comes in touch with the earth there is music and song,
‘thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.’”—Messages to Young People,
p. 291.
Let there be singing in the home, in the church, and whenever
possible, to exalt and praise the name of our Creator. “Let the word
of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admon-
ishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord” (Colossians 3:16).
May this hymnal serve to bring many souls to Jesus, so that one
day we all may join the heavenly choir singing the song of Moses
and of the Lamb.
The General Conference Committee

Praise ye the Lord
Praise ye the Lord.
Praise God in his sanctuary:
Praise him in the firmament of his power.
Praise him for his mighty acts:
Praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet:
Praise him with the psaltery and harp.
Praise him with the timbrel and dance:
Praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
Praise him upon the loud cymbals:
Praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord.
Praise ye the Lord.
Psalm 150
