Looking For Specific Hymn Piano Book

[mpflagler]

Hi all,

I am looking for a specific piano book I had years ago.  I don't remember the name of it but the cover had a white background with blueish-purple font.  I'm pretty sure there were bars and notes on the cover as well.  I only remember two songs that it contained which was Blessed Assurance and It is Well With My Soul.  I would say the level of it was intermediate.  I know that's not a lot to go on but if anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it!

I can't give you a specfic hymnal for thse two, but they are both American Baptist hymns, so I would take a look in that group (including Southern Baptist).  You can also find the lyrcs for both of them at www.cyberhymnal.org -- Blessed Assurance is her: https://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/b/l/e/blesseda.htm.  The music for Blessed Assurance is here https://www.hymnsite.com/pdf/369piano.pdf

Hi mpflagler,

in case you are still interested in a book which contains both of the hymns, there is one or two.

1. ) The Best Hymns Ever .-  Hal/ Leonard. Available: for example at Amazon.de.

2. ) https://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/accessories/tuition-books-dvds/26587-amsco-publications-the-piano-treasury-of-hymns

(addition: here, it says, is the complete list of this book's hymns: https://www.jwpepper.com/Piano-Treasury-of-Hymns/10034335.item#.VPdyQ-F0nIU )

3. ) The definitive Hymn collection.- Hal / Leonard. Available: for example at Amazon.de

4. ) The Best of sacred music : piano/vocal sheet music arrangements. Ventura, CA : Creative Concepts Pub., ©1998. Available: For example at Amazon.de

All of them contain, among other hymns, the two hymns you remembered.

Note, that there's a Schaum-book, too ( Album of hymns for piano ) and a Bastien-book, but i didn't try to search through their contents. Another note must be here, that, if you want to find books with specific content, STILL very few books - in comparison to the others - in the catalogues are properly recorded concerning all of their contents. Very many aren't. So there's a massive chance, that there are further hymn-books containing both of your desired hymns.

( I searched 40 pages of an online resource, each containing 20 -partly redundant- hymn books and their records per hand, so I saw 800 hymn books today  , and selected from them the approved 4 you see above. )

Many greetings from 8_octaves!

Wow, thank you!  I will check all of those out.  It was a specific book I used to have and I really liked the arrangements in it.
