The songs going in the new Baptist Hymnal have been chosen.  "There is a good mix of hymns, worship music and praise choruses," said Mike Harland, director of LifeWay Worship. 

The new hymnal has 674 hymns and worship songs.  " About 300 of these songs are new ones to our hymnal, " Harland said.

LifeWay already is processing orders for the new Baptist Hymnal and offering a discount to churches preordering the Pew Edition before its release.  The hymnals will ship on or before Aug. 8, 2008.
