Summary: Best Hymnal / Prayerbook out
Comment: This hymnal contains roughly 679 hymns proper, organized theologically rather then by season (there is a section called "Particular Times of Worship" for seasonal hymns and carols). They include old favorites like "O, For A Thousand Tongues To Sing", and newer songs like "Come Sunday", and translations of patristic and medieval hymns. Collects, canticles, and bits of sacred poetry are scattered throughout the hymnal alongside hymns expressing similar sentiments- the Psalter contains only the Psalms.
In addition, the Hymmnal contains the United Methodist liturgies for the usual morning service, Baptism, Communion(with musical settings), marriages, and funerals. There are also orders for weekday Morning and Evening Prayer and Praise, which is as far as I know unprecedented in Methodism.
One slight deficiency- the UM Hymnal contains no church calendar or lectionary at all. This is unfortunate, especially as the Hymnal is otherwise so complete.

Summary: A lot of thought went into this
Comment: This is one of the best hymnals available, if you can get past the inclusive language. Its wide range of selections and worship resources will appeal to all Christians.
Rating: 4
Summary: Other uses
Comment: I used the hymnal often in my sunday school class as a source of prayers to share in unison reading. Since we weren't singers we also read the text of hymns. The variety of sources in one volume was very useful. My class was elderly women and none objected to the new Hymnal. Despite its inclusion of "new" material I don't feel it will outdate as quickly as many of the faddish hymnals of the 70's
