Thread Name: Songbooks: YOUR Favorite Hymn Books
Subject: RE: Hymn Books
I have a collection of about 70 books of Hymns, Sacred Songs, Spirituals and Gospel plus about 16 books of Christmas Music
which I can post at sometime when my busy retirement schedule allows if anyone is interested. Included are books inherited from my grandparents' library, he a Covenanter Presbyterian minister and grandmother the descendent of a long line of German Reformed and Protestant Episcopal Clergy. These include two copies of the Book of Common Prayer of the Protestant Episcopal Church, cover inscribed with my great grandmother's name (Maria)Louisa Zeller (b. 1834) with the date March 1857 pencilled on the flyleaf, including The Psalter, Psalms of David in Metre and Hymns Suited to the Feasts and Fasts of the Church; Hymns for the Reformed Church in the United States (frontispiece missing but appears from family history to be ca 1850); Psalms and Hymns Adapted to Social, Private and Public Worship in the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, approved and authorized by the General Assembly, Presbyterian Board of Publications, 1843 (words only)
