Light on the Way - 45 Hymns by Timothy Dudley-Smith
Light on the Way is a collection of hymns based on Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, by Timothy Dudley-Smith, one of today's leading hymn writers. Characteristically elegant, concise and rich in theology, they were written at different times over some five decades. Most are set to well-known tunes, selected and arranged by William Llewellyn. Choirs and music directors will welcome this full music edition, while the familiarity of much of the music also makes these hymns ideal for congregational singing. Light on the Way will provide fresh inspiration for worship and celebration throughout the church year.

A Functional Art
One of the finest and most influential hymn-writers of our age, Timothy Dudley-Smith has published around 400 hymn texts. In this fascinating book, the author explores not only the writing of hymns but many other aspects including the study and singing of them. It is not a history, a text book, or an academic treatise, but the personal reflections of an experienced practitioner who has been speaking and writing on this subject, on both sides of the Atlantic, for morethan fifty years. His armchair reflections draw freely on the writings of others, and in a discursive, almost conversational, style.
Draw Near to God
Inevitably, most hymn books can only include a limited number of hymn choices for the occasional services - baptism, confirmation, marriage, funerals, ordination, services for healing and wholeness. "Draw Near to God" extends the choices available with contemporary hymns mostly set to well known tunes. Included is a wedding hymn based on "1 Corinthians 13" - one of the most popular readings at weddings - to a tune that is easy to sing.
Hymns by Timothy Dudley-Smith and Albert Bayly
33 hymns by Timothy Dudley-Smith and 9 by Albert Bayly, set top new music by Harry Hicks. Suitable for congregational singing, the words are direct, profound, Biblical and relevant, while the music is singable, playable and easily learnt.
A Door for the Word
Bringing together thirty-six hymns, this work is a survey of the author's work collected in A House of Praise (2003). It also includes hymn texts that are complemented by informative notes and an extensive series of indexes.

The Voice of Faith
"The fourth collection of its kind from one of today's most acclaimed hymn writers, The Voice of Faith offers new words for worship, many set to well-known tunes." "Recalling and celebrating faithful, holy living in times past strengthens the life and witness of the church today and so these hymns will be of especial value for saints' days and patronal festivals, and also to accompany a particular lesson or gospel reading throughout the year." "The second part consists of hymns based on well-known liturgical texts from Morning and Evening Prayer and Holy Communion, a metrical Creed approved by the Church of England as an authorized Affirmation of Faith, and metrical versions of three well loved prayers, including the Lord's Prayer." "The tunes to which these words have been set strike a balance between the traditional and contemporary. They include some familiar favourites, some recent compositions that have begun to find their way into regular worship and some which may be entirely new to users of this book. For almost all the hymns in this collection alternative tunes from popular hymnals are also suggested."--BOOK JACKET.
