Notes: Psalm and Hymn Numbers and Chapter Numbers are shown in bold type. Verse numbers are not emboldened.

Where there is a comma, read it as “and”. Where there is a hyphen, read it as “to”. For example: Exodus 1. 1-14, 22 - 2. 10 reads as Exodus Chapter 1 verses 1 to 14 and verse 22 to chapter 2 verse 10.

Office hymns for Sundays and other festivals can be found in The New English Hymnal. They are listed with the Psalms, in italics Is this a welcome addition? Would you like it to continue? Please let us know: [email protected]
