The “Baptist Hymnal” edited by Walter Hines Sims and published by Convention Press in 1956 is a hymnal that was widely used in Southern Baptist churches during the mid-20th century. This hymnal includes a wide variety of hymns, ranging from traditional Christian hymns to newer compositions of the time, reflecting the musical preferences and theological emphases of the Southern Baptist Convention in the post-World War II period.Walter Hines Sims, the editor, was an influential figure in Baptist hymnology and music. His editorial work aimed to balance classical hymnody with more contemporary songs, creating a comprehensive collection for congregational singing in worship settings. The hymnal features both familiar classic hymns (like “Amazing Grace” and “How Great Thou Art”) as well as newer pieces that aligned with the spiritual needs of mid-century churchgoers.The 1956 edition reflects the theological and cultural climate of the time, with an emphasis on traditional Christian doctrines like salvation, sanctification, and the importance of scripture. The hymnal is known for its high quality of musical arrangements and wide range of musical styles, from classical to more modern and folk-inspired compositions.For many churches, this hymnal served as a central resource for worship for several decades, and it holds historical significance in the context of mid-20th-century Baptist worship practices.
