A wonderful piece of Pentecostal and African American church history.
This vintage 1982 Yes, Lord! hymnal was published for the Church of God in Christ (COGIC) and represents an important worship resource used by COGIC congregations for decades. This is an original 1982 first-edition printing from the initial publication year of this influential hymnal collection.
This copy features the less commonly seen green hardcover binding and shows authentic signs of church use and ownership. Rather than being an unused shelf copy, this hymnal carries the character and history of a book that was actively used in worship.
The hymnal includes a previous owner's handwritten identification, as well as signs of personal use over the years. These details provide a glimpse into the life of the congregation and individual who used it.
