Songs and hymns for primary children features the interesting innovation of including familiar carols with one stanza in a foreign language, as young children were at that time increasingly learning languages other than English in school. ‘Silent night’ appears in the original German.

Winifred Wilson’s Hymns for young Christians is a collection of unashamedly traditional English hymns for ages 8-13. As an alternative to “the stream of gospel and religious folk song and holy pop that flows past,” the editor draws upon the wealth of hymns, psalms, and spiritual canticles through which her immediate and more remote English forebears expressed their faith.
