High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Songs of Syon: A Collection of Hymns and Sacred Poems Mostly Translated from Ancient Greek, Latin and German Sources was produced by George Ratcliffe Woodward in 1904. In 1908 a new and enlarged edition was produced, with the title ''Songs of Syon: A Collection of Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs for Public and Private Use''. While the first edition had 201 items, this later edition had 431. Words and music were published separately. A Third Edition followed in 1910. It was described by the writer of Woodward's Church Times obituary as "the finest hymn book, both as regards words and music, ever produced in England." A Fourth Edition was published in 1923. It was primarily a reprint of the Third Edition with musical errors corrected on the advice of Dr. Charles Wood. In a few cases "finer melodies, or better harmonies, have been substituted."
