Hymnal Recommendation for Recreational Singing?

EGrimm

Happy New Year!

Can you recommend a hymnal for a small group of friends to use at a Sunday brunch hymn sing-a-long? We have a few who can easily read and sing their parts and the rest can follow their lead. Thanks in advance!!

Is there a link for this hymnal? If I Google it there's a lot of stuff coming up for 1940.

It is available online. I have bought used hard copies on Amazon. It is also published as new by Cokesbury.

The most fun you'll have, depending on what kind of friends you've got.

The Summit Choirbook: unique hymns - particularly for saints' days - as well as shorter pieces / arrangements by Palestrina, Praetorius, Schutz, Schein, Tallis, etc.

Alas, the nuns at Summit sold their last hymnal a year or more ago, and they have no plans on reprinting any more of them. So those of you who have one, hold on to this precious resource!
