Hi Phil Glad to hear there are others who appreciate sacred harp singing. I have a couple of newer song books but sadly they don't have All Hail in them. Having said that our Primitive Baptist (Regular Baptist to folks in the UK) hymnal has that hymn as hymn #1 and all of our hymns come written as shape notes. Is that sufficient? I have a friend across town who has Greens and may can get over there when our roads thaw. He is completely anti anything technology so he can't send the song via web.
