You don't have to go to choral practice or watch " Songs of Praise" to relish the great treasury of English hymns. Embedded deep in our national consciousness, hymns remain a source of comfort & joy at every occasion of note in our lives: weddings, funerals, prize-giving, even the FA cup final. This collection has the words of all your favourite hymns & carols, alongside brief introductions & vocal lines for the traditional tunes. It is a book which will be irresistible to those with fond memories of school assembly, or a lingering affection for hard pews, stained-glass windows, & the resonant majesty of the " King James Bible"
- a book for everyone, be they screeching soprano, booming contralto, growling baritone or thunderous bass
- in or out of tune
- who enjoys the opportunity to lift up their hearts & sing.
