The Church Hymnal

The Church Hymnal, first official hymnal since l886, when Hymns and Tunes first appeared, is printed. One of the moving forces behind the development and production of this hymnal is Harold Hannum, who helped to get the music in shape for publication. It contains 703 hymns and is not an immediate success because some feel the hymns are too “high” church; others feel there are too many “cheap” gospel songs, and poor-quality tunes. It will not be accepted and used widely for over a decade.

All things are Thine
All things bright and beautiful
All to Jesus I surrender
Almighty Father
Almost Persuaded
Alone with Thee, my God, in prayer
Am I a soldier of the cross?
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound

Anniversary Song
Another six days’ work is done
Anywhere, Dear Saviour
Art thou weary, art thou languid
As with gladness men of old
Ashamed of Jesus
Asleep in Jesus!
At first I prayed for light
At the Door
Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Awake, my soul, in joyful lays
Awake, my soul! stretch every nerve
Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes
Awake! Jerusalem, awake!
