The Jubilate Group is a Christian publishing house that administers copyright for more than sixty composers and writers.

In the early 1960s, the Reverend Michael Baughen (who later became Anglican Bishop of Chester) was concerned about the declining popularity of traditional hymns, and brought together a few friends to see what might be done about it.

Over a long period this group worked together and wrote a collection of 150 new songs, entitled Youth Praise.

In 1982, some seven years after the work started, Hymns for Today’s Church was published by Hodder & Stoughton.

[2] In 1999 Kevin Mayhew published Sing Glory, 698 hymns and worship songs meeting a wider range of congregational needs.

The Jubilate Group website contains both the texts and the tunes of many hymns and songs appearing in its books.
