My hymnal collection

[Haruo]

Thanks for posting that; there's a lot there for me to envy!

[Shawn Koester]

That's an amazing collection and I now I have a larger list of hymnals I want to acquire.

Thought I'd throw my list in the ring. I think this is fairly complete. Mostly English language (one Spanish, one partially Welsh and a couple German/Anabaptist) hymn and tune books, weighted toward shape note varieties.

Yes, seeing other's lists of books is always a reason to want to add to your own book collection!

I noticed a few books that I somehow failed to put on my list:

Baptist Hymnal (1975) Convention Press
Favorite Hymns of Praise (Shape Note Edition) Tabernacle Publishing
Hymnal: A Worship Book Kenneth Nafziger/Brethren Press
Hymns for the Camp Unknown/Soldier's hymn book
The New National Baptist Hymnal National Baptist Publishing Board
Sing to the Lord: Hymnal Ken Bible/Lillenas

As if looking at the lists of others isn't enough to get our desire for a larger collection going, I have started a post called "List of Baptist hymn books and hymnals." This is a list I've been working on for a few years. It is found here:

[Rvaughn]

Leland, Shawn, thanks! Your posts here about hymnal collections gave me incentive to look back through my library program list -- since I noticed a few missing. I've gone through more carefully today and found another dozen or so that I never entered in my program:

I also have hundreds of the little quarterly Stamps-Baxter-type convention books -- many that I inherited from my Dad and some I collected myself. So far I've not have the energy to try to enter them!

[Rvaughn]

I recently discovered some "Old Baptist" song books I wasn't aware of, and hope to get some of them if they are not out of print.

United Baptist
Old Family Song Book by Douglas Ward, Oil Springs, KY

Old Regular Baptist
Old Regular Baptist Song Book by John M. Elkins
Old Time Singing by Elder Scott Hamilton

Apparently no universities have them, at least not any whose content is on WorldCat. The first is mentioned in two places and the latter two mentioned only once (as far as I can find on the internet).

Fox, I was somewhat amused when I read your story about Slapout, Alabama.


Another lady, this one the Sunday dinner had great story about the origins of Slapout Alabama. Her father was in the Air Force and they traveled good bit across the southeast to small stations where he was a radar specialist. Said she lived just north of Wetumpka, Alabama at one point in a crossroads community of Slapout. Said fellow had a gas station there full service where he would bring items from his small store out to the car if asked. That is if he wasnt't too engaged in a Checkers game on the front porch in which case he was "Slap Out". (Source...)


So I thought I'd run small research on the Alabama "Slapout" location. From what I'm able to discern there isn't really such a place. There is a location unofficially called "Slapout," but the formal (official) name of the place is Holtville. (Source...). It's an interesting story.

Oklahoma, OTOH, does have a location which is officially named "Slapout." It even has it's own zip code (73848). It's located in Beaver, County (in the extreme eastern part of the Oklahoma panhandle). Here's the Wikipedia article about the Oklahoma "Slapout." I've been through there hundreds of times through the years. As recently as 6 years ago, the population of Slapout, OK was 8. Here's a photo I took several years ago. The inset is the sign over the door of the filling station. The photo was taken from the west side looking east. Here's another photo of Slapout, OK looking west.

I'm one up on Fox when it comes to stories about "Slapout" locations. Slapout, Oklahoma is the official name of the location, whereas Slapout, Alabama is really Holtville, Alabama. With that, I'm slapout of anything else to say about locations named "Slapout."

I think the OSU game ending was a travesty...somebody oughta sue somebody over it.

[David Flick]

I think the OSU game ending was a travesty...somebody oughta sue somebody over it.

It was a travesty. It doesn't appear now that anything is going to be done to overturn the final outcome. Bottom line is that OSU didn't play a very good game. They should have won my 3 TDs at minimum. No running game and poor quarterbacking. Gonna be a long season for us...

[Mrs Haruo]

"Slapout" looks like the kind of place where after several hours of driving, the kids are fighting in the back seat and you have had enough so you are tempted to slap them and throw them out of the car.
Now back to our regularly scheduled hymnal collecting thread.......

[Rvaughn]

I think I've already read it but give me a link.

William, here it is: https://foxofbama.blogspot.com/2016/08/larry-bird-cornbread-and-slapout-alabama.html

Stephen, do you sing with the Iveys, and/or the Hogans from down in the county where Slapout is?

[Haruo]

Just got a copy of the North American Hymnal (German Baptist) in the mail today, amazed that I never saw this one before (in this neck of the woods there are a whole lot more Swedish Baptists than German ones). I also got a copy of Buell Cobb's The Sacred Harp: A Tradition and Its Music. Have you read Cobb, Stephen, either this one or his later Like Cords Around My Heart? And have you read Kiri Miller's Traveling Home?

[Rvaughn]

Leland, is it this one or an updated version of it:
* North American Hymnal, Paul Wengel, editor, Forest Park, IL: Roger Williams Press, 1956
Where did you order it?

In the past month I've added a few more books to my collection:

Hymns of Grace (Second Edition): a choice collection of Hymns honoring and promoting the Reigning Grace of God by Mildred Simms, Kathy McCoy, et al., editors
Mvskoke Hymns of Faith by Barton Looney, George Bunny, et al., editors
Mvskoke Nak-cokv Esyvhiketv, Paraphrase Translation (Second Edition) by Steve Randall, editor
Old-Line Primitive Baptist Hymn and Tune Book by Jason R. Fruit, editor

Hymns of Grace (not to be confused with the John MacArthur/Master's Seminary book of the same title) is an updated (2003) hymnal of the Progressive Primitive Baptists, found mostly in Georgia. I was surprised that it is in round notes rather than shape notes (but I think all these churches use pianos or organs). It is a large book -- 768 songs, responsive readings, several indices -- very nice (except for the round notes, of course!). The Mvskoke hymn books are words only hymn books, primarily in the Mvskoke language, and available from the Seminole Nation Museum in Wewoka, Oklahoma. The Old-Line Primitive Baptist Hymn and Tune Book is compiled by a Primitive Baptist and Sacred Harp singer in Wisconsin. It is very nicely done, much in the spirit and style of Durand and Lester's Primitive Baptist Hymn and Tune Book. It has about 850 hymns and around 200 tunes -- most of them of the Sacred Harp or old hymn-tune flavor.

I also got a copy of Buell Cobb's The Sacred Harp: A Tradition and Its Music. Have you read Cobb, Stephen, either this one or his later Like Cords Around My Heart? And have you read Kiri Miller's Traveling Home?

I know you asked this of Stephen, but I will also speak to your question about the Sacred Harp books. I have Buell Cobb's The Sacred Harp: A Tradition and Its Music. It is a great book and I think still considered the standard work on Sacred Harp history. I highly recommend it, with a few caveats. You must understand that some of the material is outdated. We have learned a lot since it was written. It focuses more on the "majority" Sacred Harp history of the James-Denson stream and only peripherally on the Cooper and J. L. White books and their contributions to the Sacred Harp and its history. I have Like Cords Around My Heart and have read portions but not all the way through. It is a different type of book than Cobb's history book -- kind of homey storytelling -- and is full of great personal stories. I own Kiri Miller's Traveling Home, but haven't read it -- main reason being I read the thesis on which it is based.

[Haruo]

Thanks, Robert. Do you know the copyright status of the Mvskoke (Muskogee, aka Creek) hymns? And can you tell if they scan well to standard hymn tunes? I'd love to include one in Sankta Harmonio!

Yes, the North American Hymnal is the one you cite, and I got it for about ten bucks, post paid, from a used reseller via Amazon. The cover's a bit beaten up but it's otherwise complete and intact. What amaxzes me even more than the fact that I was until recently unaware of this book is the fact that so were the indexers at the DNAH and Hymnary.org. I just entered it and began indexing last night. https://www.hymnary.org/hymnal/NAH1956 (Link should be live at some point today. )

[Rvaughn]

The two little booklets I ordered were published recently enough that they (at least as books) are still under copyright. I'm thinking some of the hymns probably aren't under copyright. The original Nakcokv Esyvhiketv should be out of copyright. An edition of it can be found at archive.org:
https://archive.org/details/nakcoket00loug
Looks like most of the hymns are arranged to suit metered tunes. You should be able to use one of those.

If you scroll down to the bottom of that page you should also see a link to Dakota Odowan, an 1879 Dakota language hymn book. It has tunes as well as hymns.

[Haruo]

Yeah, I have good usable texts in Cherokee, Chinook Jargon, Dakota, and several other indigenous North American languages, but didn't have any Muskogee. Thanks.

[Haruo]

Here's a list I did today of 389 hymnals (or like items) I have (actually, a few of them are databases rather than items); one has been added since.

I spend a lot of time in used bookshops. If I see something that's not on your list, I'll pick it up and send it to you.

[Haruo]

That'd be wonderful. Hymnals in foreign languages (especially ones I don't have yet, be they well-known or obscure) are especially high priorities for me. In English, something CMA would be welcome; my Vietnamese and one of my Spanish hymnals are of that fold.

[Sandy]

I'm not sure how much value a hymnal has, though I am sure that some of the rare ones are historic artifacts. I have a Song and Service Book for Ship and Field, published in 1941, and stamped with the USS ARIZONA BB-39 on front. It was my Dad's and he was at Pearl Harbor, though on December 7, 1941 he was in San Diego. I've never been able to find out anything about it.

[Haruo]

Most individual copies of older 20th-century hymnals are barely worth the shelf space; if they're in good shape there may be a church start somewhere that will take them off your hands, But obviously your dad's service book has sentimental value. But once you get back into the 1800s things become much scarcer and you can resell them on ebay or whatever for well above the cost of Media Mail.

I'm interested in a wide variety of hymnals, so if it's not on my list I probably could use it.

[Tim Bonney]

Wow!

[Haruo]

For what it's worth, I will say that on careful perusal virtually every hymnal I've acquired has contained something; some hymn, or some extra verse to some hymn, or some additional worship aids, or something that is either really good and worth the price of shelfspace for it, or really weird or absurd and worth the price of sheshelfspace for it. An example of the latter is the one Jehovah's Witnesses' hymnal I have (Sing Praises to Jehovah). There's hardly a hymn in it that I would want to use in worship or recommend that anyone else so use, but there are numerous wordings and subtopics that are just silly enough that I'm glad I have it. Sort of like the completely serious sermon I sat through at a Seventh-Day Adventist church in Victoria, where the topic was the evil of pepperoni pizza. Or the footnote on Sarah's pancakes in Kenneth Taylor's old Living Bible paraphrase. But set to music...
