In 1949 Otis L. McCoy edited and published His Glory in Song, a slim booklet, staple-bound, of 156 songs in about 100 pages. According to WorldCat, we hold one of two known copies of this book, which is why a researcher contacted us. Ours is catalogued and on the shelf in the Austin Taylor Hymnal Collection. Interested in researching hymns and hymnody? We would like very much to assist. Let us know when we can serve you.

I was going through some boxes of old book that my mom had collected and trying to determine if any of them had any value whether it be sentimental or otherwise. I was trying to look up this book and found your blog. I have this book but your picture looks orange where mine is grayish. It is fairly good shape other than a scuff on the front. Can you give me any insight please and thank you
That is a good question. It could have been simply a change in the color of paper used for the binding. Or the color difference could indicate another print run. I have seen examples of both.
I have a 1938 “Living Presents” edited by Otis L. McCoy. Great contributor to Gospel music.
Very nice! Looks like a very rare book, with only one library reporting as having a copy. I will keep an eye out for a copy for our collection.
Love it…a unique book I’m happy to have a copy of too!
