The hymns of the Saints carry more than melody. They carry history, testimony, and faith.

As a new hymnbook and children’s songbook approach for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, The Song of the Saints invites readers to look back at the music that has shaped generations of worship.

This thoughtful and richly researched book explores the history of Latter-day Saint hymnbooks and children’s songbooks, including both official and non-official editions. From early collections to modern revisions, it examines how Church music has changed, why those changes mattered, and how hymns have helped members build faith, teach doctrine, and unite in worship.

Featuring new interview material from Michael Moody, chairman of the 1985 hymnbook committee, along with insights from committee members Bonnie Goodliffe and Darwin Wolford, this book includes behind-the-scenes details about the hymnbook creation process that have never been published before.

For anyone who loves Latter-day Saint music, Church history, or the sacred role of song in worship, The Song of the Saints offers a meaningful look at how the Saints have praised God and built His kingdom through music.
