The best Catholic hymnal i've yet to come across is the one we're currently using, the Catholic Book of Worship II. These things were put out nationally all over Canada some years ago. The choral copies have lovely harmonies, a good mix of old and newish stuff, and the best liturgical cross indexing system i've ever seen in a hymn book. The new CBW III's have even more variety, but they've taken a lot more license 'modernising' lyrics, which is annoying. We've also got a few copies of Glory and Praise kicking around the house, and With One Voice. My dad has a collection of older and obscure hymnbooks, but they don't come out as often. Pax, Ceit
