Does anyone remember...........?

I have a music edition, needed occasionally for hymns that I play in church, if Mission Praise doesn’t have the tune we want. Is there any information from it that I can help you with?

Thank you all for your input, I appreciate it.

I can’t remember the hymn book, but ‘When a Knight won his Spurs’ was always my favourite hymn at Sunday School.
I’d forgotten the ‘Daisies are our Silver’ hymn, it’s nice to be reminded.

I remember it and have a very tatty full music edition. It has an embossed picture on the front of 2 deer drinking.

I can see it holds fond memories for you Lexisgranny and I wish you luck in finding it.

I noticed on Amazon when you click on “other sellers” there are several other sources who have a copy for sale. One of them is St Elizabeth’s hospice shop in Suffolk. Maybe it would be possible to phone them and ask them to check the index to confirm it’s the copy you want?

Yes, Grannynannywanny, I have seen that, and I am pretty certain that that is the one. I tried to find an index for it, but had no luck. I know it sounds a bit odd, but I remember the really happy feeling I used to get when very young, opening the hymn book and seeing that first page. TBH I am afraid that if I buy it from Amazon, it might have changed that page over the years, and that happy memory will be lost. It was first printed nearly a hundred years ago, but I certainly used it through the 50s and into the 60s. Thanks for taking the time to research it.

Is this it Lexisgranny?
It has the cover you describe.

www.amazon.co.uk/Songs-Praise-Nonpareil-Style-3180X/dp/0192312014/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=songs+of+praise+hymnal&tag=gransnetforum-21&qid=1617232549&sr=8-7

No B9exchange, it was a hymn book used at both schools I attended. It was quite slim and the cover had an embossed circle in the middle, which I think depicted two young deer and trees, and it also had Songs of Praise on the front.

Would that be Hyms Ancient and Modern? I think that one was blue. I think the English Hymnary was green?

Sorry the hymnal was called Songs of Praise.
