What hymnals should I review?

I have recently become DM at a parish that desires to move in a musical direction more in keeping with the musical heritage of the Church. We do not offer the extraordinary form, but are looking to strengthen the music of the ordinary form, and need a repertoire of hymnody for the year, and chant in English and Latin (seeking to realistically stretch and slowly build upon the vernacular tradition already in place).

I have reviewed the St. Michael Hymnal and am aware of the following, which I hope to review:

- Pope Francis Hymn Book (CC Watershed)
- Isaac Jogues (CC Watershed)
- Adoremus (Ignatius)
- Illuminare (which one of these?)

It would be wonderful to have a hymnal with the readings for Sunday Mass as well, although I know this isn't always possible.

Can you suggest others that should be up for consideration? I know that I am not aware of everything out there.
