I intended to include for clarification: <i>Sing Psalms</i> (Free Church of Scotland) is a fairly recent publication, 2003, and their versifications are entirely new.<br /><br />LoisLoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256598478755347493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991015405231004785.post-78642773698303726642014-06-26T07:22:47.699-04:002014-06-26T07:22:47.699-04:00Lois:

As I peruse your churches' collection, I'll be on the lookout for this.<br /><br />It is possible to use thinner paper, I agree. I have my old copy of the OPC's <i>Trinity Hymnal</i> (1961) at hand, and it has 730 psalms and hymns, plus responsive readings of the Psalms, the Westminster Confession, liturgical forms, and indices, yet it's thinner than <i>Sing to the Lord</i> and even a bit lighter in weight. So, yes, it can be done.<br /><br />Once again you have an impressive collection. Congratulations and God's blessings as you sing his praises.David Koyzishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09994743332307454241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991015405231004785.post-70123521788741294522014-06-26T06:11:40.898-04:002014-06-26T06:11:40.898-04:00It was a pleasure to read your review of Sing to t...It was a pleasure to read your review of <i>Sing to the Lord</i>, published by our Reformed Churches of New Zealand. We are glad you feel it is high quality!<br /><br />You may be interested in the following additional information. Our biggest source for the versification of the Psalms was <i>Sing Psalms</i>, published by the Free Church of Scotland. They were very helpful and generous, and approximately half of our Psalm texts are from that source. Needless to say, we are very thankful to them.<br /><br />And yes, you are correct that we did not include our forms and confessions because of the size/weight of the hymnal. These are in the process of being printed in a separate book. It is possible we will combine them with the hymnal in a future printing, using lighter weight paper, but that remains to be seen.<br /><br />Lois Hoyt<br /><br />Loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256598478755347493noreply@blogger.com
