It was published by Mayhew-McCrimmon Ltd of Southend-on-Sea, England. The first printing was in 1970, and there were subsequent reprints in both October and November 1970 and April 1971. Printing was done by P J Ralph, also of Southend-on-Sea, Essex.
It has a Nihil Obstat from J D Donnelly Censor, and an Imprimatur from C D Creede, Vicar General.
There is a Foreword by "the editors", which explains the links between the material in the book and the 3-year liturgical calendar adopted by the Roman Catholic church following Vatican II: The contents follow this closely, and lists one or more hymns that are based specifically on the readings from each Sunday.
The book contains 107 hymns, all in English. A surprising number are by Luke Connaughton himself or by Peter Icarus or John Smith - both of which are now believed to be non-de-plumes for Connaughton. It is likely that this is due to the lack of English-language material to complement the new lectionary which was available at the time when the book was compiled.
Each hymn/song is accompanied by a short phrase which described the key scriptural themes which it addresses. There are indexes by first line, week in the liturgical cycle, season / Mass part. However song-titles are not included, and there is no index of titles separate from the first lines.
There were two editions (peoples and organ) - the listing below is based on the People's Edition, 2001.
The book is now out-of-print, but copies are usually available from Amazon (UK and Ireland)
