The Bible Hymnal - Continuing Church of God

THE
BIBLE
HYMNAL
Original Wall of the Church of God on Jerusalem’s Western Hill.
For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because...you, brethren,
became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus.
(1 Thessalonians 2:13-14)
Contains all the songs originally in the 1974 version of The Bible Hymnal
of the Worldwide Church of God, plus some others. Now being made
available, as well as used, by the Continuing Church of God.
THE
BIBLE
HYMNAL
of the
Continuing Church Of God
Years after the death of Herbert W. Armstrong, the hymns produced by his brother Dwight were
released into the public domain by the copyright holder and now are being made available by the
Continuing Church of God. Earlier, Herbert W. Armstrong himself asked Ross Jutsum to produce
additional hymns and ten of those are included in this hymnal with the permission of Dr. Jutsum.
The Bible says, "Sing to the Lord, all the earth; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to
day" (1 Chronicles 16:23). In the Continuing Church of God, we strive to preach the good news of the
coming Kingdom of God to all the world as a witness (Matthew 24:14). As the Bible says, singing and
proclaiming God's great plan of salvation is part of the good news.

About this Hymnal
The songs in this hymnal are essentially the psalms and other passages of English translations of the Holy Bible set to music.
While the English words would have been foreign to the original Christians, the messages that they convey would have been
consistent with the songs that the original Christians sang.
The songs in this specific hymnal were published by the old Worldwide Church of God in 1974, plus ten additional hymns later
commissioned by Herbert W. Armstrong. On June 26, 2006, the hymns written by Dwight Armstrong were released into the public
domain by the then copyright holder. In 2013, the Continuing Church of God took steps to make these hymns available on the
internet (www.ccog.org) as well as in written form. The Bible Hymnal as produced by the Continuing Church of God that you are
now reading about is essentially the old 1974 edition plus ten additions, with updated covers and a few sentences after Herbert
W. Armstrong’s signature related to the “HOW THIS HYMNAL CAME TO BE” introduction to the 1974 edition.
About the Front Cover
The photo shows some of the few remaining bricks (plus some added later) of a building in Jerusalem sometimes known as the
Cenacle, but better described as the Church of God on Jerusalem’s Western Hill (that ‘western hill’ is commonly known as ‘Mt.
Zion’). It is believed to have been the site of perhaps the earliest real Christian church building. Bricks from the Jewish Temple,
that the Romans destroyed c.70 A.D., are believed to have been used in both the foundation and walls of this building.
Some legends suggest this building/wall is near or where the last Passover of Jesus, Pentecost of Acts 2, and/or certain other
notable New Testament events took place (like Matthias being chosen as an apostle, Acts 1:12-26). While those New Testament
uses for it are scientifically questionable, history suggests that it was used by Christians as early as in the first century.
Furthermore it most certainly was a location that the Sabbath-keeping Nazarene Christians used until they were forced out of it
in the fourth century by supporters of Emperor Constantine’s professed faith. Although the Greco-Romans have since built their
type of church in the same basic location, some of the original bricks continue and are shown on the cover. The Continuing
Church of God is continuing the original Christian faith and felt that the building should remind people that the original faith came
out of the area of Judea and Jerusalem as did apparently the first known Christian building.
About the Continuing Church of God
The Bible teaches that Christians are to “contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3, NKJV) and
to “Let brotherly love (Philadelphia) continue” (Hebrews 13:1) while “continuing stedfastly in the teaching of the apostles” (Acts
2:42 YLT). This is what the Continuing Church of God strives to do as it works on Jesus’ commissions as laid out in Matthew
28:19-20 and the proclamation of gospel of the Kingdom as set forth in Matthew 24:14 and Matthew 28:19-20.
The predominant biblical name of the true Church in the New Testament is “Church of God.” Variants of this expression are clearly
stated singular and plural forms in twelve different places in the New Testament (Acts 20:28; 1 Corinthians 1:2; 10:32; 11:16,22;
;15:9; 2 Corinthians 1:1; Galatians 1:13; 1 Thessalonians 2:14; 2 Thessalonians 1:4; 1 Timothy 3:5,15). Throughout Christian
history, the true church has normally used a version of the expression “Church of God” (or Church of Christ, cf. Romans 16:16)
though often with another term with it (cf. 1 Corinthians 1:2; 1 Timothy 3:15). Jesus said that Christians would be kept in His
Father’s name (John 17:12), which most often is simply “God” in the New Testament, hence “Church of God.” Historical records
show that name or variants (Romans 16:16) have been used by the truly faithful (as well as some imitators) throughout the
church age.
History also shows that the leadership of the Church of God often relocated. For example, after problems in Jerusalem in the late
60s A.D., the main location of the early faithful leadership of the Church of God shifted to Asia Minor (though portions were earlier
also in Antioch). It then seemed to pass to various parts of Europe and then to differing locations in the Western Hemisphere. The
original faith has continued throughout the centuries, though the geographic location of its main leadership often changed as was
foretold in scripture (Hebrews 13:14 and Matthew 10:22-23).
Since the true Church of God has continued as prophesied from the time of the
original apostles (Matthew 16:18), the name Continuing Church of God was
selected to help convey that. The Continuing Church of God is a new name for the
group with the truest continuing succession to the original Church of God of the
New Testament. The top human leadership for Continuing Church of God has long
been based in the “Five Cities” region of California. The Continuing Church of God
has its main administrative office in Grover Beach, California. More information on
its work, priorities, mission, doctrine, leadership, and history can be found at
www.ccog.org.
