Hello all,
I was in Westminster Cathedral, London and Prinknash Abbey, Gloucester last week and I came across "The Catholic Hymn Book". It seemed like a decent book, but I didn't really get a good chance to look through it. I looked it up more online when I got back to Scotland and it seems like a decent book. Can anyone tell me more about it's contents? I saw it has some common hymnody that we hear often. Does it contain any chants like the Veni Creator, Salve Regina or Alma Redemptoris Mater? Does it contain Hymns that were written by Anglicans such as Abide with me or Jesus Christ is Ris'n Today or is it purely form Catholic Hymn Writers?
Help would be appreciated, considering suggesting it as the new Hymn Book for the Parish. Then we can have a ceremonial burning of "Hymns Old and New"! God bless.
