The music edition of Christian hymns follows the format of many traditional hymnbooks. It has a hard cover with a thin laminate film for durability and contains many indexes to help with hymn and tune selection. These include index of authors, translators and sources of words, index of composers, arrangers and sources of tunes, alphabetical index of tunes and metrical index of tunes as as well as a index of Biblical references and allusions.
The new Christian Hymns is published by the Evangelical Movement of Wales and the Christian Hymns Committee.
