Hymns of Universal Praise

Hymns of Universal Praise, also known as the HUP, a Chinese hymnal published in 1936, is considered to be an ecumenical attempt at Chinese hymnology from the early twentieth century. According to the Hong Kong hymnologist Andrew Leung, the first edition, HUP1936, established the foundation of Chinese hymnody and is now set as a model of Chinese hymnology.

Background
As the American musicologist Andrew Granade commented, the creation of HUP1936 was due to missionaries, who anticipated in the flourishing of churches in China, and the converts, who hoped the worship music matched with their experiences. HUP1936 was co-edited by six different denominations, including the Church of Christ in China (), the China-based Anglican Church (), the Methodist Episcopal Church North (), North China Congregational Church (), the East China Baptist Convention (), and the Methodist Episcopal Church South (). Below is the summary of the differences in the selection of hymns in these three versions: Diagram 1 The Type of Hymns in Different Versions of HUP == See also ==
