It included the core of the 1950 edition, together with the two supplements, bound in one volume. Inevitably, some of the hymns in the two supplements have proved more successful than others; and at the end of the twentieth century the time has come for a hymn book which will gather up the finest hymns, old and new, and present them for use as material for worship in the twenty-first century. This new edition is therefore a book which looks forward as well as back. .... In addition, the Church has become more ecumenical during the last quarter of the twentieth century, so that this a book which is not for Anglicans only ... ". -- Preface.
