We got rid of OCP awhile back and use the missalettes from the St. John's Liturgical Press. I wish they would lose the hideous fake woodcuts, but the cover illustrations from the St. John's Bible are magnificent. More importantly, the Psalms have chant tones as well as the more modern settings (which we never ever use), and the hymns include good solid stuff, lots of old German as well as English hymns (with the inevitable dross of "Here I Am Lord (Here's Your Pizza)" and "Weagle's Ings" which we sing from time to time to pacify the hippies.)

We do not have a hymnal, we use song sheets which are under the direct management of the music department for the major Masses, and the back of the missalette for the rest.

We got 40 copies of the St. Gregory Hymnal and Catholic Choir Book (1948 edition) for the choir. Ordered them myself.

"Weagle's Ings"

ROFL! I remember the first time I heard that song......I felt like I was standing in the middle of a bottle of Karo.
