## What is Cameroon Hymnal?

The Cameroon Hymnal

The Cameroon Hymnal is the official Catholic hymnal authorized by the Bishops of the Bamenda Ecclesiastical Province. First printed in 1984, with a significantly revised edition published in 1997, it serves as a primary liturgical resource for the faithful in that region of Cameroon.

Origins and Purpose
The hymnal was created in alignment with the principles of the Second Vatican Council, aiming to foster:

“Religious singing by the people”

“Active participation of the entire assembly of the faithful at Holy Mass”

As noted in the preface by Archbishop Paul Verdzekov, the hymnal was compiled by a committee of priests and laypeople to offer a wide and stimulating selection of hymns suitable for all tastes and occasions.

Content and Organization
The hymnal contains over 300 hymns, carefully selected from:

Traditional Catholic hymnody

It is meticulously organized to support the liturgy, with sections tailored to different parts of the Mass and the major seasons of the liturgical year.
