Hymns not listed in the Index of �Sing to the Word"

Adrian Somerfield, St Thomas, Mount Merrion, Dublin

Organists and others choosing music from the Church Hymnal (2000 edition) may well be using the invaluable book by Edward Darling, Sing to the Word, to help them in their selections. However, they may not recognise that not every hymn in the Hymn Book is listed in Sing to the Word, so there is a chance that some hymns may be neglected. I have looked through the Index of Selected Hymns in Sing to the Word, and so far as I can see, the following hymns are not there. It may be helpful to have this list available when planning services.
