In creating the African American ecumenical hymnal, One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism it was imperative to the core committee that the hymnal serve as a needed resource for the many denominations in the African American Church. It was the committee’s strong desire that this hymnal would represent and preserve the rich theological, cultural, and musical heritages of these traditions and offer a full breadth of music representing historical as well as vibrant contemporary worship, while looking toward the future. It was also of utmost importance that this hymnal draw the body of Christ together so that it may be enlarged, enriched, and inspired to live and worship based on what unites us: “one Lord, one faith, one baptism.” This hymnal contains selections of diverse styles and genres, including traditional ecumenical hymns, contemporary texts written for the twenty-first-century church, praise and worship selections, music from Taizé, choral responses, responsorial psalmody, traditional and contemporary gospel music, and Negro spirituals. The editors maintained a remarkably high degree of excellence in selecting and presenting this repertoire, and church musicians of all tastes could find this anthology useful either as a reference or as a repository for imaginitive congregational song.

America! The sound of that name inspires and emboldens us; it emboldens us as we follow in the footsteps of those who’ve gone before, and inspires us to do even greater things still…to build better, be stronger, reach farther, dream bigger, and trust God to lead us to new frontiers and scale new heights. We are a country both built and sustained by dreamers. Dreamers who became doers. Dreamers who didn’t listen when others said “impossible.” Dreamers who dared to make dreams come true…American Dreamers!
