Here is a short list for starters:

"Israel in Song", "Great Songs of Israel", "Favorite Songs of Israel", all
edited by Velvel Pasternak; his "Jerusalem Songbook" has some old songs;

"Israel Sings", ed. by Richard Neumann; "L'Yisrael Mizmor - 40 Songs of 
Israel" ed. by Caroll Goldberg; 2 large volumes edited by Effi Netzer;

"Songs We Sing" and "More of the Songs We Sing", ed. by Harry Coopersmith 
both have old Israeli songs in the back (pub. by United Synagogue);

if you can find it, he also edited "Songs of Zion" for Behrman House many
years ago - it is unique, a small hardback in brown ink and square notes.
