I have owned several copies of the Hymnal, and keep giving them away and buying a new one. I love the lyrics and find them inspirational at all times, and especially in times of trouble. Hightly recommended.
Want a quick hit of inspiration? 5 out of 5 stars.

I'm not much of a musician but I do like to sing. And I love to read. Many times, I've sat down with this hymnal and simply *read* the lyrics and have found them to be deep reservoirs of inspiration and spiritual insights.
Yeah, the hymns are old and they're from the Victorian era and the lyrics are clearly reminiscent of that time, but they're still beautiful and touching. For instance, there was someone in my life that I felt I had every reason to hate, but being a Christian, I knew that hating any of God's children was wrong and was not part of God's plan for my life.
One of my favorite hymns in this book reads,
"Speak gently to the erring ones,
they must have toiled in vain;
Perhaps unkindness made them so,
Oh win them back again."
That simple sentiment has helped me release the animous and contempt I feel toward this person and reminds me to pray for her each day and ask God to send her nothing but blessings.
I highly recommend this hymnal.
Editorial Review:
1898. A selection of hymns that is believed to be representative of the best religious and poetic thought in hymnology, including a number of excellent compositions by Christian scientists. An effort was made in the musical department to present a useful and varied collection of tunes, the purpose being to appeal to every lover of church music, of whatever taste or ability. Five of the hymns were written by the Reverend Mary Baker Eddy, discoverer and founder of Christian Science. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
