[SIGN]At your church, are the hymns in a hymnal book which includes hymns and songs?
Or are the hymns in a book which includes prayers and the Sunday church service?[/SIGN]
 
A hymnal is a hymnal.
A missalette has the Mass parts in addition to seasonal songs.
Hymnals,
,
 
At my parish, there is a big black hymnal along with a missal that has hymns in the back. The choir often sings from both books in each Mass.
 
We have a hymnal that has the order of the mass in the front…

Then Psalm and mass settings…

Then hymns…(nearly 600 of them)

And then the readings for all Sunday masses and solemnities.

This is all in one hard-cover book.
 
We are stuck with a missal and a “worship aid” from OCP (Breaking Bread and Choose Christ). Since both are republished each year I don’t consider them hymnals.

Lutherans generally combine the two. The LSB (Lutheran Service Book) has virtually all the worship settings, from Divine Service ( mass), to baptism, confirmation , order of private confession , to Matins, Vespers, etc., as well as hymns.

I assume you are addressing Protestants. In the Baptist church we just had a book of hymns. The service structure was rather loose. All we brought was a Bible, and they were available in the pews with the hymnals.

Hehehehe… I missed what forum this was posted it.

That’s basically what we had when I was growing up in the Presbyterian church. Each pew had pairs of the King James Bible and a hardback hymnal stacked every two or three seats. At the front there was a board for readings and one for hymns and we’d use little strips of paper to mark the places before church started.
 
Currently, at my parish we have a missalette (paperback) with the order of Mass and the readings for the entire year, with hymns in the back.

At one time we had both a missalette and a hymnal with just hymns, and we’d be told “hymn number x in the missalette” so we’d know.
