    My Church is a very traditional Baptist Church in singing primarily traditional hymns as well as doing responsive readings every Sunday. We are going to replace our old Hymnal - the 1975 Baptist Hymnal (Convention press). We are looking at two Hymnals - the 2008 Baptist Hymnal (Lifeway) which is a blended hymnal of traditional and contemporary and In Spirit and Truth Hymnal (Bogard Press) which is traditional but with some changes. Are there any other Hymnals available that contain primarily traditional hymns? Any recommendations will be appreciated.

    Bible Truth Music has a great hymnal
    Majesty Music also has a great hymnal as well.

    If this is the one edited by John R. Rice, one needs to know he rewrote the lyrics to some of the hymns. In particular, the words for Silent Night are not the same as traditional and customary ones.

    I believe it is the one edited by John R. Rice, and I did not know he had edited some of the lyrics.

    The latter has added some excellent recent hymns, like "His Robes For Mine."
    Our church uses "Living Hymns", (Striving Together Publications), nearly all traditional hymns, plus some 20th century hymns and choruses. I think the most recent is mid 1970s - "Rejoice In The Lord" (which of course is in the Majesty Hymnal as well.)

    I still like "Inspiring Hymns" compiled by Alfred Smith the best. Great lyrics for the most part, easy to sing along with in the keys played in.
