Today I acquired, from a man who is servicing our vacuum cleaner, a hymnal I've never seen before and which I cannot thus far identify. The cover is entrely black withe words HYMNS and HABERL on the spine. The title and copyright pages are missing. It contains 1080 hymns. The Preface is signed by

The compilers and composers
Witness Lee
John Ingalls
Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.
July, 1966

Anybody know the title of this item? I'd be happy to start entering it in the database, but would like to know what it is first.

I went ahead and created it using the initials of the editors and the date of preface for an identifier. Based on the Wikipedia article about Witness Lee it appears likely that the original title was simply "Hymns" and that the publisher was Living Stream Ministries, but this is still not proven.
