Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New Paperback – Import, September 1, 2003

After buying several collections of hymn books, this collection is the most comprehensive and very useful. I recommend it without any hesitation.

This is the hymnbook we use in our church and I wanted my own copy to help me learn new hymns. It does just that!

I will SING UNTO THE LORD MOST HIGH.

I can now sing along

I bought this hymnal as it's the standard one in use in my parish. I am currently training for Licensed Lay Ministry and found myself at a disadvantage with other students who all seemed to have their own particular versions of a hymn book. And as I am now at the stage of planning services of the word, it's important to have to hand the appropriate hymn book in use in our context to be able to insert hymn numbers into service sheets.As a book in comparison to other versions that I have access too - it's modern and has most hymns that we use. But there are some omissions that occasionally cause loose leaf hymn sheets to be used. Overall a good buy

Practically exhaustive list of almost a thousand hymns with full music notation and lyrics. Excellent however one complaint is that although there are hymn numbers, there are no page numbers and some hymns span two or more pages.Paper is also quite thin and probably not difficult to rip by mistake.

Replacements for ones we had had for over 20 years. See ok

This is not the larger organ version that I expected but the smaller Choral edition. I have knocked one star pf it's rating for two reasons. The first is the quality of the paper which is very thin and the binding I have seen repaired on numerous copies of the book. Some of the reworkings of the words are clumsy and just done to be inclusive, ruining the original poetry of the hymn. However, this is a valuable resource and one of the most comprehensive hymnals on the market. I pair this with the most recent Ancient and Modern and this covers most of my needs.
