VIDEOS AND HYMN DEMONSTRATIONS

The following videos are intended to be helpful demonstrations of some hymns and songs in the new Presbyterian hymnal, Glory to God. These videos are neither professional ensembles, nor professional recordings, but are simply suggestions for learning music and worship practices. More videos will be added throughout the year. We hope these are helpful as you explore the new hymnal.
