https://hymnary.org/hymnal/WASH1957 is the hymnal authority for what the authority page says is a 2006 publication. It seems to me highly misleading. Hope's own website describes it as "this 1957 publication". https://www.hopepublishing.com/W918-WORSHIP_and_SERVICE_HYMNAL

The hymnal we worked with and scanned was printed in 2006 and copyrighted in 1957. We want to let our users know that the 2006 printing may not be identical to the 1957 printing. The publisher may have made some minor corrections thirty years later. So the date of the hymnal is found in the hymnal id and the date of the hymnal we are working from can go in the publication date for the hymnal.
