I thought you might be interested in seeing the old hymn books I used for the hymns in this book.
The one on the right I got from my grandma. (I think it was her grandmother’s.) And the other I found at a thrift store.
I don’t know if you can see or not, but the copyright date is 1876!
There are so many wonderful hymns in these old books, and I wish they were better known. Some are, but there are others just as good. Can you imagine what it would have been like to be at an old Gospel meeting where Ira D. Sankey let the singing?

Do you enjoy old books? Have you ever found an old hymn book? Is there an old, little known hymn that you wished was more widely known?
These are amazing! I love old hymn books! I also love how so many old ones are available to view online. There’s so much depth in the old hymns!
I couldn’t agree more! I love the old hymn books!
Thanks for coming by, Erika!
Those look so cool! We have our own sizable collection of hymnbooks, though none that are that old. 😉 We like using ours to find new songs to sing–there are so many!

Yes! Another family with multiple hymnbooks! My sister and I are singing our way through each of our hymnbooks and it’s such fun to learn new hymns! I think we’re on our 6th book. I don’t know how many we have left. 😉
It was so cool to see those! I don’t think I’ve seen one that old before. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
I love them! 🙂 You are most welcome!
Ooh! I LOVE old hymns! We have two different French books in our house and three different English ones. Your books look so cool!! And P. P Bliss’ signature! *insert heart eyes*
Most of my favourite hymns are by Elisha A. Hoffman. I have so many favourites I don’t think I can name one, though. 🙂
Yes, old hymns are wonderful!!!!!
And I agree! There are too many to pick just one favorite! 🙂
