hymnbook

/hˈɪmbʊk/ noun

A book containing a collection of hymns.

Word Origin Hymnbook is a compound of hymn (Greek hymnos 'song of praise') and book (from Proto-Germanic *bokiz, originally 'beechwood'—early Germanic peoples wrote on beech tablets). So a hymnbook is a book of praise songs. The same roots give us hymnal, hymnody, and notebook.
