[From the Preface] "LEAD ME GUIDE ME is born of the needs and aspirations of Black Catholics for music that reflects both our African American heritage and our Catholic faith. For a long time, but particularly within the last two decades, Black Catholics and the pastoral staffs who minister to our people have increasingly seen the need for liturgical and devotional settings and hymnody that lend themselves to the unique and varied styles of song and expression that are characteristic of our people. Similarly, Black Catholics, who embody various religious and cultural traditions, wish to share our gifts with the wider ecclesial community and draw from the great musical corpus of our own Roman Catholic tradition and that of our Sister Churches. Thus, LEAD ME GUIDE ME is both universal and particular as well as ecumenical in composition. While the various national Black Catholic organizations and leaders have voiced these concerns, and while in the past specific individuals have initiated proposals for this Hymnal, the fact is that its origin comes from Black Catholics themselves. With all this in mind, in April of 1983, the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus and then its president, Father Donald Clark, authorized the work on this Hymnal. The Institute for Black Catholic Studies of Xavier University, New Orleans, with the encouragement of it co-founder, Father Thaddeus Posey, O.F.M., Cap., also aligned itself with this project."

This review is from: Lead Me, Guide Me : The African American Catholic Hymnal (Hardcover)
I ordered book for my mother because she loves hymns. This book has all the old hymnals she love and grew up singing. She immediately took it to church. The condition of the book was very good.
