With the recent publication of Glory & Praise, Fourth Edition, we should take a look at the four major hymnals published by Oregon Catholic Press (OCP) to see how they stack up against each other.

Glory & Praise serves as a contemporary-leaning, cross-generational collection. In contrast, other flagship OCP hymnals favor heavy traditional repertoires or exclusively modern styles.

Core Structural Differences
The table below details how Glory & Praise, Fourth Edition matches up against Journeysongs, Third Edition and other core OCP options:

Hymnal	Musical Focus / Style	Approximate Track Count	Target Community
Glory & Praise (4th Edition)	Cross-generational 50/50 mix; leans heavily into guitar/piano-driven Catholic folk, pop, and modern worship classics.	~800 titles	Parishes seeking a vibrant, accessible assembly style with strong roots in the post-Vatican II folk movement.
Journeysongs (3rd Edition)	Balanced traditional-leaning; incorporates extensive Latin chant, historic hymns, and classical organ-driven liturgies alongside essential contemporary titles.	Over 850 titles	Standard, multi-generational parishes that prioritize choral, organ, and classic cantor-driven music.
Spirit & Song	100% Contemporary; modern praise & worship driven by full bands (electric guitars, drums, keyboards).	~360 titles	Youth ministries, Newman centers, or specialized contemporary parish Masses.
Flor y Canto (4th Edition)	Multicultural/Spanish focus; features diverse rhythmic styles from varying Spanish-speaking cultures alongside bilingual arrangements.	~740 titles	Parishes supporting active Hispanic ministries or looking to build fully integrated, bilingual liturgies.

“I Will Not Be Afraid” from Joseph, Guardian of the Redeemer: A One-Man Cantata. Saint Joseph faces a future he never expected. Confused and wounded by news he cannot understand, he receives the words that will change everything: Do not be afraid. This dramatic sacred solo follows Joseph from uncertainty into faith as he chooses to trust God and accept the extraordinary calling placed before him.

1 )As you slowly form us - in your life and love
we become ever more like you dear Lord
With burning deep desire to share with everyone
The joy  of living in our Father’s will
2 )
We who've  been forgiven and we who've been redeemed

“Out of Egypt” from Joseph, Guardian of the Redeemer: A One-Man Cantata. An angel warns Joseph that Herod is searching for the Child. There is no time to hesitate. Joseph gathers Mary and Jesus and leads them into the darkness toward Egypt. This dramatic sacred solo portrays the fear, courage, exile, and fierce protective love of the man chosen to guard the Redeemer.

Instrumentation: Mezzo-soprano, orchestra
Duration: 2'30"

(For St. Joan of Arc, 1412?-1431)

No one girl
Nowhere town
Were you on your way to forgotten
Or was there something different even from the start

Violence
All around
When heaven called down to a daughter
To stand before an army and lead them in war

Betrayal
Lost success
Caught in the ugliness of politics
And the course of corruption ended in fire

I never
Saw twenty
But looking back from eternity
I now understand the price, the point of it all
