The Baptist Hymnal has been the primary book of hymns and songs used for Christian worship in churches affiliated with the United States denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention, since 1956. For information on Baptist hymnals in a more general sense, see this list.
The title was first used for a Convention publication in 1956, and a second version was released in 1975. The third version of The Baptist Hymnal was released in 1991. The newest version of the Baptist Hymnal was released in 2008. All were printed by LifeWay Christian Resources, formerly known as the Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention; however, the 1956 printing names Convention Press as the printer and secured holder of copyright.
Front cover of the 1904 Baptist Hymn and Praise Book, the first hymnal published by the Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention.
There is also a precursor to the 1956 publication entitled "The Baptist Hymn and Praise Book", published in 1904 in Nashville Tennessee. Though it was titled differently, it is considered the predecessor to the Southern Baptist Convention's "Baptist Hymnal" series.[1]
