The New English Hymnal inherits much music from the original 1906 English Hymnal, its 1933 revision, and the 1975 supplement English Praise, although a few hymns are re-written or dropped in favor of newly added hymns. [2] The words of several hymns have been altered slightly, although it nonetheless enjoys continuing favour in a considerable number of cathedrals and collegiate chapels worldwide and it is a significant publication in Anglican church music. Its extensive provision of hymns for saints' days and mid-week religious festivals has proved popular with those schools still maintaining hymn-singing in daily acts of worship.

A complete list of Office Hymns from throughout the book, as well as others suggested for use as Office Hymns, will be provided at this point After its publication, use of the hymnal had been banned for a time by the Archbishop of Canterbury. [2] Ultimately, The English Hymnal, along with the Church Hymnal for the Christian Year, "undermined the uniformity of the Church of England and successfully challenged [the] hegemony" of Hymns Ancient and Modern, [9] which had been published two years previous. [10] In the finished volume, a new appendix will provide cross references across the whole collection to hymns that are suitable for use on occasions or in ways outside the structured sections of the book. A new edition of The English Hymnal was issued in 1933, [12] which principally had better accompaniments by J. H. Arnold to the plainsong melodies, and over 100 new tunes. This was achieved without renumbering hymns or extending the book excessively. Instead many formerly duplicated tunes were changed to new tunes. Where unique tunes were changed the old tunes were moved into an appendix, which is often referred to as "the chamber of horrors", [13] [14] [15] a description attributed to Vaughan-Williams himself. [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] The Revised English Hymnal is a completely new and updated edition of the English Hymnal. Like its predecessors, it aims to be 'a humble companion' to the Common Prayer of the Church, not only in England, but everywhere the English Hymnal tradition is loved and valued around the world; not only on Sundays and feasts but for every day of the year.King of the martyrs’ noble band * (Office Hymn ‘for one or martyrs: especially suitable for martyrs of our own day’) We know that many people are looking forward to seeing REH. We share this excitement and look forward to sharing this wonderful new hymnal with you very shortly. Thank you. A few hymns (eg, It came upon the midnight clear) are now in different sections from some earlier collections.
