Following up on yesterday’s post on Easter hymns in Lift Up Your Hearts, here’s my second post on perennial CRC hymns—those that appeared in each of the four main Christian Reformed hymnals—the 1943 (red) Psalter Hymnal, the 1957 (blue) Psalter Hymnal, the 1987 (gray) Psalter Hymnal and Lift Up Your Hearts with the same tune. (The first post was on the 18 psalm settings in this category.) This post is a list of the nine Lenten and Easter hymns that appear in all four hymnals.
