This is the 1956 edition of the Baptist Hymnal, a comprehensive collection of Christian hymns, psalms, and spiritual songs. It includes musical notation and lyrics for use during church services and worship.
Review:
This hymnal is a cornerstone of worship for its generation, filled with theologically rich and beloved hymns. For many, it's a nostalgic and cherished object, though its musical selection can feel dated compared to modern worship styles.
Author summary:
This hymnal was published by the Convention Press, the publishing arm of the Southern Baptist Convention. The SBC has periodically released updated official hymnals (e.g., 1975, 1991, 2008) to reflect evolving musical tastes and theological emphases.
The collectible value is low. Hymnals are produced in very large quantities for entire congregations, so they are not rare. This 1956 edition has historical interest for church musicians or historians, but its monetary value is minimal.
