Sound the Bamboo – CCA Hymnal 2000 - S022

This new hymnal was launched at the 11th General Assembly in Tomohon in June 2000. It is the revised version of ‘Sound the Bamboo – CCA Hymnal 1990’. The new book contains 315 hymns in forty-one Asian languages. Eleven hymns from the 1990 edition were removed, and forty-six new ones, mostly from countries that were previously underrepresented, were added. Some hymns have been rewritten, rephrased or recomposed, but apart from one exception, the original numbering system has been retained for familiarity and continuity’s sake. Taiwan 2000, 358 pp, US$15
