I may be biased but I think the Book of Psalms for Singing is the best bet for Family Worship.

TBS printing of the 1650 Scottish Psalter. As it is words only, one may sing any part of the Psalter with a dozen or so common meter tunes. This gives one access to the entire hymn book of the Bible.
Of course, the sometimes archaic words and awkward word order may require some explanation; but, so does the Bible in general and many hymns.

To me, the Psalter is Top Hat, High Tea, High Church, Pick O' The Litter, The Best of the Best... You catch my drift!
Compared to what the Holy Spirit authored, our greatest hymns are pretty low brow, yes. When set alongside Psalm 119, Amazing Grace is almost slumming.

CEP Bookstore - TRINITY HYMNAL PEW EDITION RED
This hymnal has many of the great historic Christian hymns, a few modern hymns, all with sound biblical themes as well as the Westminster Standards (including the Westminster Shorter Catechism), and a couple historic creeds in the back. Very useful (plus you can practice for church)!
On top of all that, you can get good value for money at our denomination web site!
