Hymn Books
Our small selection of hymn books includes Gadsby’s Hymns, containing its vast collection of 1,156 hymns, and the valuable Companion Tune Book for accompaniment of the same, since the hymnbook does not contain musical score. To Gadsby’s collection has been added the section known sometimes as Hart’s Hymns. Also, we have Isaac Watts’ collection of songs for children, formerly known as Divine and Moral Songs for Children. Many more hymn books are available elsewhere, but these are the ones we include, as they contain numerous songs and hymns which have been left aside by more recent hymnals. Many of those contained in these volumes have the strong flavor of the Reformed and Calvinistic doctrine and with an emphasis on what is known as the Regulative Principle of Worship.

Hymn Workouts: 100 Exercises to Set Your Heart Ablaze (Joe Barnard)
$11.50Spiritual fitness for Christians whose growth has stagnated
Many of us feel like our spiritual growth has stalled. Our routines have hardened into ruts. Around us, we see other Christians with the same struggles and we start to think that treading water is the basic rhythm of the Christian life. Often the problem of stagnating faith is down to one simple fact – we all have a bias towards ease. Our spiritual routines involve passively reading our Bibles, not lingering long enough to comprehend or retain what was read, and a few distracted minutes spent in prayer.
This book of spiritual workouts is meant to push complacent souls back out into the space of exertion and discovery. It will engage and sharpen the faculties of the mind – memory, imagination, intellect, conscience and will.
Each workout, thematically grouped, features a hymn, richly steeped in scripture. There is a Bible passage to read, a list of the scripture references made in the hymn, and three reflection questions to meditate on.
Scroll down for the entire Table of Contents, to see the many themes covered in Hymn Workouts.

Childhood’s Songs of Long Ago: Divine and Moral Songs (Isaac Watts)
$15.95With a Collection of Sonnets, Prayers, and Simplified Piano Arrangements
Includes a brief biographical account of the life of the Rev. Isaac Watts, D. D. Piano accompaniments by Jacqueline Sprinkle. Spiral-bound for ease of use at the piano.
From the Introduction by Jacqueline Sprinkle to this 2007 edition:
“Contemporary Christian music is becoming a vast wasteland of fluff and the serious Christian finds himself being bombarded with vain repetitions, high decibel sounds, and heavy rock beats. These hymns by Dr. Watts were once standard literature for English and American children. The tunes we have chosen for the lyrics are also traditional hymn tunes which are very structured and easy to sing. The lyrics will be easily understood by children and will aid parents and teachers as they seek to apply biblical principles to every area of life.
We believe this volume will prove worthy as a children’s classic to be used alongside other volumes we now have in print, which are specifically selected for youth.”
