[Hannah Ireland · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've read many interesting-yet-boring works before but this somehow takes the cake. Never want to look at it again unless I decide to take up piano again

[Jerry (Rebel With a Massive Media Library) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This hymnal has been standard at the church I attend for over a decade. It has both modern favorites ("Shout to the Lord", "Friends", "We Bow Down", and numerous others) as well as classic standbys such as "How Great Thou Art", "Amazing Grace", "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee", and plenty more. If you're looking for a book with plenty of hymns for all tastes, you can't go wrong with Songs of Faith and Praise.
