This is a successor to the Hymns Old and New that has been much used in Catholic churches. The choice of hymns is comprehensive and the selection of Mass settings is very helpful. An added feature is the section with all of the responsorial psalms for the three year cycle with music for the responses.
However it is not mentioned in the publisher's advertising material that the words of many hymns have been changed, often to give non gender-specific language (e.g. "Good christians all rejoice").
Somtimes the changes are odd choices in hymns that are already archaic but well known (e.g. "with the needy, poor and lowly" instead of "with the poor and mean and lowly" in "Once in Royal David's City". A disturbing example is that the verse "O generous love that he who smote..." in John Henry Newman's "Praise to the holiest" is simply omitted. This is presumably to avoid the unreformable phrase "... in man for man the foe..."
One might agree or disagree with these changes but it would be good to know in advance that they have been made. Hence I hope these comments are useful.

You can find almost everything you need for the Sunday Mass in this book. Plenty of mass settings, responsorial psalms, and a wide ranging collection of hymns. This most recent edition of the book is on thinner paper than the earlier editions, so is less bulky and sits on the music stand better. If you only had one book to buy, this could be it.

Essential for anyone who sings in a choir which uses this book. But be warned: it is very heavy indeed and should be carried in a backpack!
