[Help to choose an hymn book]

Good afternoon !

I am from France and looking for an English hymn book ; the purpose is to use to train for very basic harmony and very very basic hymn extemporization.

In the ideal, it would have the following features :

- simple 4 parts harmony ;

- if possible on 3 staves ;

- rather complete, and indicating also the traditional name of the music (as St Anne, etc.).

 

Would anybody be kind enough to tell me :

- which hymnal could suit the best ;

- where (website) I could order it ?

 

Thanks a lot for your help.
