Songs and hymns for primary children. Illustrated by Marian Ebert. Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1963.
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 (editor). Hymns for young Christians. Full music edition. London: Geoffrey Chapman, 1967.
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.
