Early Hymn Books etc

This page contains examples of various Hymn Books and sources of Christian Music that were available in the early 1960s. It includes

Songs of Faith - used in St Leonard's Church Bootle
Billy Graham Crusade Songs - used in the Manchester Crusade in 1961
Thirty 20th Century Hymn Tunes - by the "Church Light Music Group" (Weinberger Ltd)
More 20th Century Hymn Tunes - by the "Church Light Music Group" (Weinberger Ltd)
Eleven Hymn Tunes - by Geoffrey Beaumont (Weinberger Ltd)

These give a sense of the church music background of groups like the crossBeaTs .  See also the St Leonard's 'home-made' songbook 'Youth Sings'.

  "Songs of Faith" - the song book for the Mission to Bootle (1959?)    
       
  "Crusade Songs" - the song book for the Billy Graham Crusade of 1961 in Manchester    
       
  "20th Century Hymn Tunes" - note that these are Anglican writers, and there is a High Church element in some songs - which we eschewed
