I am the Worship Pastor at my church. I want to learn all the old hymns in this book and the original versions of these beloved hymns. But what I love most about this hymnal is the scripture references with the stanzas. What an excellent feature of this hymnal! So helpful in planning worship! I would highly recommend this to my colleagues in the ministry!
I'm very pleased with this hymn book. I've been wanting to sing hymns with my family during Devotions, and this hymn book exceeded my expectations. It provides a little bit of history about each hymn and scripture verses that relate to each stanza, so we get to do a nice hymn study as a family. I highly recommend this!
This is absolutely the best hymnal I’ve found. Not only are there 980 hymns, there’s so much information about the songs and “all” the stanzas are included in the songs. Some have 8 or 9 or more stanzas which I never knew. Also very important is the words are the original wording. Some of the hymnals used in churches even the older hymnals have the wording changed. These appear to be the way they were written originally. BUT, the absolute best thing about this hymnal is the scripture references to each line of the song. Every verse has a scriptural reference. What an awesome hymnal. Thanks a bunch, Allen
Such a great addition to a quiet time collection of resources.
This hymn book is such a complement to personal Bible study. The hymn stories and many Scripture references make the hymns come alive with a new meaning and depth.
Our students have mentioned an appreciation of the Scripture references as a valuable resource. The Historical References provide encouragement and a reminder of God's goodness through the ages.
Very smooth paper, slightly glossy, very sharp printing, font is easy to read. Binding seems strong and flexible. Only suggestion would be adding some simplified chords above the staff for guitars, etc. Highly recommended.
