Kingo's hymnal, originally titled Dend Forordnede Ny Kirke-Psalme-Bog[1] (The Prescribed New Church Hymnal), is a hymnal that was approved by royal decree for use in all churches in Denmark–Norway in 1699.[2][3] The hymnal contains 86 hymns by the bishop of Odense, Thomas Kingo.[4] It also bears Kingo's name on the title page because the selection was made based on a hymnal that Kingo had edited ten years earlier.
