For Music Coordinators
While Hymns—For Home and Church is being rolled out, members are encouraged to use the new music alongside the current Hymns (1985) and Children’s Songbook (1989).
Most of the resources on this page have to do with music in sacrament meeting. However, keep in mind that the new hymnal is subtitled “For Home and Church.” This continues the inspired emphasis that gospel learning and teaching is best when it’s home-centered and Church-supported. As a music coordinator, you might want to consider ways you can help members and leaders carry uplifting music with them throughout the week.

Printable hymn board cards
These cards include the letters “HC” (Hymns—For Home and Church) or “CS” (Children’s Songbook) to help members know which collection to use when looking up a song. There are also cards for the letters “a” and “b” and a music notes glyph (see “Extras”). The photos above show how these can be used.
When printing, be sure to print at 100% scale, and turn off “shrink to fit.” The printed cards should be about 3.5 inches (9 centimeters) tall.
