Songs of Zion is a shaped note hymnal designed for use in a cappella congregational singing in Primitive Baptist churches. The hymns consist of historic Primitive Baptist songs that are not in print in most modern hymnals. However, a large portion of the book consists of contemporary hymns most of which were composed by active Primitive Baptist members. The Large Print Edition is 25% larger than the standard hymnal. It is 8.5x11.

"This book originated in a conference, Music, Cultural History and the Wesleys, hosted by CHOMBEC (Centre for the History of Music in Britain, the Empire and the Commonwealth) and held at the University of Bristol in July 2007"--Pref.
