Come and Praise

Come and Praise was a two-volume series of hymnals published by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). The first volume, simply titled Come and Praise, appeared in 1978, and Come and Praise 2 in 1988. A combined edition, The Complete Come and Praise, was issued in 1990. Both volumes were compiled by Geoffrey Marshall-Taylor with musical arrangements by Douglas Coombes. The volumes were published in connection with the Radio Department of BBC School Broadcasting, which had, since 1945, broadcast a weekly Christian service for schools. These were intended to support the provision of collective worship in schools, which had been established as a legal requirement in England and Wales...
