In recent years, Hymns Old and New has outsold all other hymnbooks for the Anglican Church, and so established itself as the leading hymnal. With the continuing rich outpouring of new hymns and songs, a hymn book which justly claims to have the most exhaustive and all-embracing collection must inevitably keep pace -- to embrace the best new material and include even more treasures from the past. The need of the Church to renew material for our celebrations is a healthy one, because it is a sign of the Church's vitality.
This edition -- Complete New Anglican Hymns Old and New foreshadows the development of liturgy in the years to come. Among a total of nearly 1,000 pieces you will find hymns and songs, a selection of liturgical settings for the Eucharist, chants, and material suitable for use with children. Naturally, there is also a full set of biblical, liturgical and musical indices.
Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New is beautifully produced -- a clear typeface, excellent printing and strong binding. In this new edition, the music has been set in a slightly larger page format, and bound in such a way that it falls open beautifully in the hand, or to set on the organ/piano music stand.
