Song of Justice, Peace, and Love is a collection of over 100 hymns on a variety of topics ranging from the church year through saints and worthies to paraphrases of scripture. Each text is set to music, the tunes range from old familiar to very new. Many hymns could find immediate use by the assembly, others may inspire composers to create music uniquely suited to them. Christopher L. Webber is an Episcopal priest and author. Previous collections of hymn texts include A New Metrical Psalter (1986) and Hymns from the Bible (2000)., Recent books include Dear Friends: Letters of St. Paul to Christians in America, American to to the Backbone, a biography of James W.C. Pennington, a remarkable pre-Civil war abolition leader, and Beyond Beowulf, the first-ever sequel to the old English saga, Beowulf.
