Crossword Genius

Songbook Hamlyn adapted (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hymnal

'songbook' is the definition.
(hymnal is a kind of songbook)

'hamlyn adapted' is the wordplay.
'adapted' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hamlyn' anagrammed gives 'HYMNAL'.

(Other definitions for hymnal that I've seen before include "Book of religious songs" , "Book of church music" , "Book used in church" , "Hymnbook" , "Book containing songs of praise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
