NPH maintains a listing of omissions and musical errors in the first edition of the Hymnal and auxiliary books. A notable omission in the first printing of the pew edition is Prayers for Worship, which were intended to be printed on the inside front cover of the hymnal. NPH provides a PDF of this page that can be printed and affixed inside the cover of a first edition pew hymnal.
