## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It most certainly is complete!
*by H***H on May 9, 2008*

This book is a hefty volume at almost 700 pages, but, of course, it covers 600 hymns and praise songs. Each entry averages just over 1 page in length. All the old standards are covered, as well as many less commonly-known ones, including many that I do not know. By far, most of the entries are hymns. Off hand, I'd probably say that around 90% or more of the songs referenced were written before 1950. This book is well-organized. The songs are organized by topic, and there are indexes by title, author, and theme.Here is a sample entry that I opened to randomly: I Need Thee Every Hour. We learn the hymn was written by a 37-year-old Brooklyn housewife while she was busy with her household chores. She could closely feel the nearness of God, and she sat by an open window and wrote out all the verses. When she gave them to her pastor, he wrote the chorus and the music. Evangelist Dwight L. Moody discovered the hymn and began using it in his meetings, which led to it becoming famous. After that background information, we are given several Bible verse references (not the text of the verses themselves) related to the hymn's topic (Psalm 86:1-4, Psalm 109:22, Philippians 4:19), the themes of the hymn (prayer, meditation), and then the lyrics of the hymn.I have a few small gripes with the book. There are several newer praise songs that do not have lyrics included, presumably because they are under copyright and permission was not granted for their use. And, there are a few of these newer praise songs that are rather short that I would have left out, but that's a small gripe.Overall, this is a valuable resource for any Christian. This book is nice for looking up a particular hymn, but also for just browsing through. In that sense, it could be a good "coffee table book," while also being of benefit in personal or family devotions, or church music ministry. It might also be a way to find some new hymns of value. You can always look up a hymn at CyberHymnal to hear the accompanying music! I highly recommend this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best hymnal and great gift!
*by J***O on November 16, 2024*

Outstanding for remembering the hymns and to read the stories behind the writtings. Scripture to go with the hymn also. I've shared this with many. One of my favorite possessions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting reading
*by M***E on April 3, 2023*

I bought this book because I want to sing gospel songs but don't know the words. I believe we are supposed to sing to the Lord, so now I can! There are many songs in this book that I remember the tune to, from church when I was growing up. The truth is, I can't sing worth a lick, but God doesn't care! The reading material is great. Very interesting!
