讃美歌 (transliterated as "Sanbika" or "Sambika") is the title of numerous hymnals published down through the years. In 1954 a Protestant hymnal with this title was published by the Kyodan, or United Church of Christ in Japan. This hymnal contains 538 hymns, 29 additional numbered musical contents (service music, doxologies, sung responses, amens etc.), and 46 Bible excerpts arranged for responsive reading.

Beginning in 1974, the hymnal was also issued bound together with 讃美歌第二編, which had been published separately in 1967.
