This is "the old hymnal" or in the church I grew up in "the red hymnal" It was a wonderful hymnal. I still look through it now and again. I love the old liturgy it is beautiful.

The hymnal of my and my parents' youth, published back in the day when you talked to God with a lot of "th's" in your speech and weren't afraid to sing hymns with fifteen verses. Plus it was a great resource when I wanted to draw old English type lettering. It could stand some improvement here and there, but the attempts to replace it back in the late seventies/early eighties were not quite good enough to make me take the ol' TLH off the shelf.

There are so many editions of this! We personally have one black, two reds, and one blue. There is something "for use in the British Empire"--her Majesty the Queen and all that, and the blue hymnal is old that it speaks of "His Majesty the King".

Don't pass up this treasure of a hymnal! I grew up with this one, so it also has high sentimental value. ( )
