Hymnals Worship is a series of traditional hymnals first introduced in 1971, with about 80% of the music intended for
organ. The fourth edition published in 2011 addressed changes in the English translation of the
Roman Missal. • Worship (1971) • Worship, 2nd ed. (1975) • Worship, 3rd ed. (1986) • Worship, 4th ed. (2011)
Gather is a series of contemporary hymnals, with the two earliest editions intended to be used as a supplement to
Worship. The second edition was expanded into a full hymnal in 1994 called
Gather Comprehensive with the addition of the most popular traditional hymns and service music from
Worship. Following a second edition of
Gather Comprehensive in 2006, the series was collapsed into a single third edition in 2011 titled simply
Gather but continuing with the mix of contemporary and traditional music from the Comprehensive volumes. A fourth edition was published in 2021. • Gather (1988) • Gather, 2nd ed.
