From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New English Hymnal is an Anglican hymn book and liturgical source first published as such in 1986. It was published by The Canterbury Press, but copyright is held by The English Hymnal Company Limited. It was published in the style (and distinctive green colour scheme) of the older work The English Hymnal, first published in 1906, of which it is very much an updated version, having a very high percentage overlap of music. A few hymns from the 1906 version are dropped, whilst a large number of newer or re-written hymns are added in, most of which had previously appeared in the 1906 book's later supplement English Praise.
