This well-loved copy of The Baptist Hymnal offers a glimpse into the rich musical tradition of the Baptist church. Published in 1991, this edition features a distinctive spruce green cover that has acquired a gentle patina of use over the years, reflecting the countless services and gatherings where its hymns have been sung. While the absence of a dust jacket may disappoint some collectors, the wear on the spine and covers speaks to the book’s role as a cherished companion in worship.
What truly sets this copy apart is the addition of new sheet music pasted inside the opening pages.
