What is hymn books in mormens timeness called?

Answer 1

The current hymn book of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) is usually simply called "Hymns," although it is officially titled "Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." It was first published in English in 1985 and is now available in many languages, although with some changes to which hymns are included, as some cannot be translated to fit the tunes. The Church also produces two different books of simplified hymn accompaniments, one at in intermediate level and one at a beginner level. The Church's children's organization, the Primary, uses "The Primary Children's Songbook", published in 1989. In the past, the Sunday School, Youth Groups, and Relief Socity have had their own songbooks as well, but the practice was discontinued a few decades ago.

The current Hymn book and the Children's Songbook are available online in many forms at the "Related Links" below.
