Songs of Praise is a 1925 hymnal compiled by Percy Dearmer, Martin Shaw and Ralph Vaughan Williams.
The popular English Hymnal of 1906 was considered too 'High church' by many people, and a new book on broader lines was indicated.
It was hoped by the editors that the book would be found suitable for children[3] and this proved to be the case; during the 20th century it was widely used in schools in the UK.

[4] In 1933 Songs of Praise Discussed by Percy Dearmer was published by Oxford University Press.
