Book of Praise – Anglo-Genevan Psalter is the liturgical songbook used in the worship services of the Canadian and American Reformed Churches, containing the Psalms in metrical English to the sixteenth-century Genevan tunes; scriptural hymns; the doctrinal standards known as the Three Forms of Unity; liturgical forms and prayers; and the Church Order and subscription forms; all of which come from a rich Reformed heritage. For more information, see bookofpraise.ca.

The Authorized Augment is a collection of Alternative Psalm arrangements, Revised Hymns, and Additional Hymns, updated and provisional Liturgical Forms, and an updated Church Order. All these have been authorized and published by order of General Synod Aldergrove (2025).
