Music has the power to unite people across generations. National recording artists Keith and Kristyn Getty understand that power, and they have picked the best in the music industry to create a one-of-a-kind project.  

To help them compile songs for their new song book, 鈥淭he Sing! Hymnal,鈥� the Gettys created an advisory board, including 颁别诲补谤惫颈濒濒别&苍产蝉辫;鲍苍颈惫别谤蝉颈迟测鈥檚 Dr. Roger O鈥橬eel, professor of worship, and Chad Winder, a 2006 Cedarville graduate and worship pastor at 5 Bridges Church in Panama City Beach, Florida.  

鈥淚t鈥檚 an honor to have been chosen to be part of the advisory board,鈥� said O鈥橬eel. 鈥淲hen we create a hymnal, we are endorsing songs to be passed down to the next generation.鈥�  

鈥淭he Sing! Hymnal鈥� will be released on September 2 during Keith and Kristyn Getty鈥檚 Sing 2025 Conference at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee on September 1-3. Copies will be available along with digital resources. To give attendees a preview of 鈥淭he Sing! Hymnal,鈥� songs from this new collection will be integrated throughout the conference, including during a special concert at the Grand Ole Opry House. 

The Gettys sought feedback on the hymnal from the advisory board, including songs to be included in the book. Winder recommended writing a new verse for the Christmas classic 鈥淐ome Thou Long Expected Jesus,鈥� a suggestion Kristyn Getty embraced. 鈥淭he Sing! Hymnal鈥� preserves the hymns of generations past while also creating new hymns for churches today. Long-lived hymns like 鈥淐ome Thou Fount of Every Blessing,鈥� 鈥淥 for a Thousand Tongues to Sing鈥� and 鈥淛esus Paid It All,鈥� along with more recent hymns like 鈥淚n Christ Alone鈥� and 鈥�10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord),鈥� will be found among the 496 songs included in the hymnal.  

鈥淚 really hope that this hymnal rekindles the love in the modern church for music that is rich in theology,鈥� said Winder. 

From traditional hymns to modern worship, 鈥淭he Sing! Hymnal鈥� reflects this goal as it offers deep theological meaning and truth to congregations everywhere.
