Founded in 1879, in addition to its evangelistic and Bible-teaching initiatives the SU has played a significant part in hymnody. This has come through many individual stories, but also in publishing several hymn and song collections. These include Golden Bells, or Hymns for our Children (1890, revised edn 1926); Hymns of Faith (1964); the series of 3 CSSM/SU Chorus books, combined in one edn in 1964; other books for infant and junior children; and Songs of Worship (1980).
