PDF Download • Anglican Hymnal (1,151 pages)

I bet you’ve not seen this fascinating book! • Many pieces in this Anglican collection are actually translations of Roman Catholic hymns, such as Ave Maris Stella, Audi Benigne Conditor, Ad Regias Agni Dapes, and so forth • Readers will mainly be interested in sections 3 and 4 • The “Englished” versions of the propers (e.g. Puer Natus Est) are quite interesting+
