Founded in 1922, The Hymn Society in the United States and Canada is an ecumenical organization of people who are passionate about hymns and congregational song. The Hymn Society community, open to all, is made up of scholars, church musicians, poets, composers, choir directors, choir members, clergy, worship planners, song leaders, music publishers, music educators, and people who love to sing. The society believes that the act of singing together shapes faith, heals brokenness, transforms lives, and renews peace. Its mission is to encourage, promote, and enliven congregational song.
