The book does not contain actual verses of the Bible aside from the title page, but the 16,000+ scripture references were all taken from the King James Bible.

Let customers speak for us
I am so happy to receive this wonderful hymn book. It is full of resources for praise, worship & edification. I love all of the Biblical references tied to the lyrics as well as the historical notes. I am telling others about it.
This wonderful hymnal has 980 songs & psalms, whereas most older hymnals
have around 500. I have a collection of almost 20 hymnals from my mother,
grandmother, 2nd hand book stores, book sales, and church closures. I grew up on the hymns as the legacy from my mom who was the church organist. This hymnal has many old hymns I have never heard. I thank Acapeldridge for his wonderful musical videos and introducing me to your hymnal. My new favorite is Master, the Tempest is Raging. I bought several of your hymnals for my church family. Thank you for publishing such a fine work also noting scripture references. Blessings! Rosita
For the price a very Good Quality Hard cover Hymn Book. Would recommend to any born again Christian
Every Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs I didn't know I was missing. The collection of music in one volume is bewildering. It is Bible-like how all the songs have come together from history and survived. To search for a song is easy and effortless. God's music is not complicated or confusing. To know what you are saying when you sing and where in the Bible it is from is powerful. I recommend this book and rest assured you will find peace, joy and rest. God will be near you! With you!
Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs (Shape Note)
Great protective packaging of hymn book, to include being packaged for possible inclement weather. Timely shipment. Book is well made and just as described. I ordered the grey hardcover this time around, but now that I've experienced the quality service and inspected the product offered by Melody Publications I intend on adding their leather edition book of hymns to my collection as well. Recommend - 5 Star!
I especially enjoy the scripture references
This is a lovely book! So nicely done, with many old favorites and some new ones to learn, as well.
I love this hymnal! The variety is excellent. The commitment to original hymn lyrics is appreciated. Oh that every home had one of these to bless its members.
I use this hymnal in my daily devotional along with Daily Strength. Two of my daughters (after looking at mine) have also ordered their sets of Daily Strength. I love that there are 980 hymns in the book. All are absolutely Biblically based.
I have just finished my first week in Volume 1 and must say I know I am going to love it. Having taught music for over 25 years, I am loving the hymn aspect of this study as well as all the study that goes with it. Looking forward to going through all 4 volumes.
