Excerpt from Parish Hymnal
To provide in one handy volume everything needed for the singing of choirs of boys, school children, sodalities, and congregations at High Mass throughout the ecclesiastical year, at Low Mass and at Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, is the purpose of this book. Vesper psalms are not given, because the book would thereby assume larger proportions and greater cost than was intended, and also because convenient separate editions of these, in conformity with the New Antiphonale, are now available. The Liturgical chants included are taken from the official - Vatican - edition. Care has been exercised in the selection of the English texts. For the greater part, only such melodies as have stood the test of long use have been employed. It is believed that those of more recent composition which have found place will wear equally as well as those that have come to us from former ages. No texts (not even translations, no matter how excellent) or tunes of non-Catholic origin have been knowingly incorporated.
