The Redemption Hymnal is a red-covered hymnbook containing 800 evangelical hymns, first published by the Elim Publishing House in London, in 1951. The hymnal is strongly associated with the emergence of the Pentecostal movement in the United Kingdom[1]. The preface proclaimed: "A hymnal is now proffered that combines rich devotional hymns in abundance with stirring revival hymns that present the gospel in all its depth, winsomeness and simplicity". The hymnal was traditionally used by classical Pentecostal churches[2]. It was republished in 2006 by Rickfords Hill Publishing.
