View source for The Hymnal, 1956 (RLDS)

'''''The Hymnal''''' is a compilation, consising of 583 numbered hymns, plus indexes, published in 1956 by Herald Publishing House for the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (RLDS); this organization now stles itself "Community of Christ". 

Copies printed after 1958 contain one fewer hymns, since No. 580, [[Come, Come, Ye Saints]], has been replaced by a blank page with only this text: "'''580''' Deleted by action of the General Conference on October 7, 1958."

The hymnal is particularly valuable for its inclusion of hymns of RLDS origin rarely encountered elsewhere, such as [[Shall we gather home to Zion]] (set to Robert Lowry's [[Hanson Place]]) or the Christmas song [[Silvery star, precious star]] (set to an RLDS tune, [[Starlight and Song]]).
