The most famous, complete, and widely used anthology first published in 1928. With its breadth of material, notes on sources, extended introduction and indexes, it is indispensable both as a choral collection and as a standard reference book.

Songs of Praise was first published in 1925, and is still an immensely popular hymnbook, particularly in schools. The compilation falls into two parts: Book 1 contains hymns grouped by subject and theme, together with a selection of verses, canticles and doxologies; Book 2 contains general hymns listed alphabetically by first line.
