The New Zealand Hymnbook Trust has been collecting and publishing New Zealand hymns and songs for the last thirty years.

New Zealand has a great reputation by now as a fresh, interesting voice in the world of Christian music, with a considerable body of hymns sung and appreciated all over the world. Shirley Erena Murray and Colin Gibson have been huge contributors to this work.

No doubt there is a whole new generation of poets and musicians out there, giving glory to God with their music for worship!

This is a preliminary call to that generation of new writers. We are keen to know what’s out there nowadays, with a view to compiling another collection. If you write hymns and songs, please make contact with us, so we can discuss further when the time comes.
