The Hymnal 1916 (US)

From Oremus Hymnal

This was approved by the 1916 General Convention and was the first US hymnal to include tunes. At the subsequent (1919) Convention, an alternative hymnal edited by Charles Hutchins was tacitly approved (or at least not found to be against the authorization of the 1916 Hymnal). However, the authorization given the official 1916 Hymnal eventually outweighed the previous popularity of Hutchins' work. This Hymnal was first published as The New Hymnal, but when it became necessary to revise it in 1933 to make the service music conform to the rubrics of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, it became known simply as The Hymnal.
