In my opinion, North American Reformed Hymnody reached it's apex with the grey Psalter Hymnal. It's got everything you'd want:

  • All 150 Psalms with excellent metrical settings as the first 150 songs.
  • An additional ~75 Bible Songs - other passages of scripture set to music, including the Nunc Dimintis, Magnificat, and of course Ere zij God (If your hymnal does not have this, look for another).
  • Another 400 traditional Hymns.
  • Ecumenical Creeds and Reformed Confessions
  • Free Online MIDI files in case you forget what a hymn sounds like.
  • Complete indices of Biblical References and topics

    Seriously, go grab a copy. Other options you might want to consider in addition to the Psalter Hymnal (not instead!):

  • Lift Up Your Hearts. This is supposed to be the replacement to the Psalter hymnal and includes some more modern songs. Also has a free iPad/Android app! (Public Domain songs free, copyrighted songs require in app purchase). Sadly it doesn't include all 150 Psalms.
  • Anglo-Genevan Psalter. English edition of the classic Genevan melodies.
  • Psalms for All Seasons. Another good Psalter. This is a "modern" treatment, and includes liturgical aids. (n.b. this is a continental psalter and as such includes Bible songs such as the Nunc Dimittis, the Lord's Prayer, etc., per the church order of Dort.)
  • Then Sings My Soul: 150 of the World's Greatest Hymn Stories - not a hymnal, but a collection of famous hymns and thier backstories. Quite interesting and can have some devotional value, I think, but due to it's design some hymns with questionable theology snuck in.
