I am absolutely dismayed at the text in this hymnal. I bought a choir edition for my choir and we use the Glory and Praise 2nd edition hymnal as well as the CBW III. Now, I am thinking I should have bought a choir edition of the Glory and Praise while they were still being sold (or stolen one from storage :)) because OCP doesn't botch the texts nearly as much. Also, my congregation sings more from the bigger hymnal. Seems weird but that is what I have found. I really wish we had something like the St. Michael Hymnal or something like that.
