No matter who you are, we are confident that you will see yourself in this hymnal.

The Design

 

A worthy, hardbound hymnal, the cover of Gather IV was designed with great intention and detail by graphic artist and composer Daniel Kantor. Notice how the cross is made of many individual parts coming together to create a greater whole yet, the cross is unfinished as our work is never done.
