Book excerpt: Excerpt from A First Series of Church Songs A want has been long felt for a collection of Church songs to supplement the Hymn Book - songs with a distinctly Church and religious tendency, without being hymns. From the workshop, the kitchen, and the stable, we hear the most sacred words warbled lightly, because they have become familiar in church or chapel wedded to taking tunes. The English people, for lack of national "Volkslieder" such as the Germans possess, have become a hymn-singing people; and the hymn is sung regardless of the character of the words, because the people are cheerful and want to sing. Of late years Messrs. Sankey and Moody, and, later still, the "Salvation Army," have introduced religious songs which have at once become favourites, because the airs have been secular, and, in some cases, the words rollicking. The result has been a distinct lowering of the reverence of the people for holy things and holy words. Sacred aspirations and names, at which angels and devils bow, are trolled out or roared to music-hall tunes, sometimes by tipsy men, and often without thought. The tendency of these songs is not only to irreverence and profanity, but also to encourage heretical views of the scheme of Salvation. Justification is upheld as a sentimental outgush of excited hysteria, not as the gradual growth of a spiritual life; and this mischievous teaching poisons the sources of the moral conscience. In compiling the collection now presented to Churchmen, the authors have done their best to insist cm definite truth, and to make the song a vehicle for impressing some facts necessary to salvation on the minds of those who sing them. They have aimed especially at giving definite expressions to the doctrine of "the Catholic Church," a doctrine which is presupposed, rather than insisted on, in our hymnals. The Church's year brings the great facts of Our Lord's life and the event of Pentecost before people's minds, and the hymns accentuate the lessons of the gospels for the Festivals. But there is no great feast of the "Holy Catholic Church" at which this verity of the faith is insisted on; whence the need of supplementing the hymnal with Church songs teaching this doctrine, to be used at mission services, social gatherings, and in processions. In an age of flux in religious belief, and disintegration, social, political, moral and religious, we cannot sufficiently impress on the minds of Christians the fact of the unity of the Church Catholic in all ages and in all places, and of her being the one immutable guardian of the truth, moral and religious, amidst the general change and upheaval, and disturbance of traditional beliefs. A hymn should have its distinct character, be objective, and void of mawkish sentiment. It should be addressed to God, and not to the human soul, nor should it be an oblique sermon. It is an act of worship and praise. But a sacred song need not be so restricted; thus, such songs as "By the gate they meet us," "Sinner, come to Jesus," "We won't give up the Bible," "Nearer home," and the like are unsuitable for public worship, but they are tolerable at the religious class, in the home circle on a Sunday evening, and nor schools. The songs in this collection belong to this category: they are adapted both as to words and tunes for use outside the church as a supplement to the Hymnal. Just thirty years ago, the writer of this introduction began a similar collection, and laid it aside. He saw then that there was a need for such a book, but the demand had not come, so the time was not ripe for its production. In selecting the melodies rather a wide field has been travelled over. Some that may not appear of much merit when tried over on the piano are taken because experience has proved them to be good workable tunes when sung by a body of voices. The harmonies throughout have been composed, re-written, or revised by the Rev. H. Fleetwood She

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of the Christian Life Tms book is intended to give inspiration and expression to the larger and richer conceptions of the Christian life now prevailing. It seeks to kindle hope, arouse courage, and stimulate noble purposes. It aims to develop trust and joy, devotion to duty and unselfish service, filial love to God and fraternal love to man. The hymns have been selected because of real poetic merit, and because they breathe a spirit of genuine experience and practical service. While the number is limited, every phase of Christian worship and life is sufficiently covered. Hymns of aspiration, of character, of con duct, of the home, of devotion to the common weal, of effort to secure a kingdom of heaven on earth, of the new spirit of brotherhood are here. Christ is given the central place. Not only is his earthly career fully illustrated, but groups of hymns present him as the Eternal Friend, the Good Shepherd, the Rock of Ages, the Master and the Light of the World. Hymns of the church are here, and especially of its missionary activities, issuing in The Triumphant Kingdom. Christian optimism finds voice in these hymns. Since patriotism is a part of religion an unusual number of national hymns is brought together here. The tunes have been chosen with like care, that the best hymns may be matched with music of the finest quality. The first aim has beenito secure singable tunes, such as congregations will delight to sing tunes with a haunting melody, and such as fit the words. The second aim has been to have music of such excellence in harmony and construction as to be attractive to trained musicians as well as others. The old, familiar tunes are here, as well as those of the latest and best modern composers. Sixty percent of the tunes are already either old or new favorites, and it is hoped that many of the others will speedily become such. It is believed that every tune in these pages, under competent leadership, may be readily learned by any congregation. The great Canticles which the Church has used for centuries are here set to the best music of ancient and modern composers. It is hoped that a much larger use of this form of worship song may be made. With a little practice whole congregations can easily learn to chant under a competent director.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of Pilgrimage: A Hymnal for the Churches of Christ Second, he has endeavored to seek out and gather from original sources, other hymns and tunes of standard authors, which from various causes have fallen into disuse, and are less familiar, though perhaps not less meritorious than others, and, which by careful abridgment and revision it is hoped may be rescued from oblivion and again made useful in the Churches of Christ. Third, to these he has added a choice selection of more recent hymns of varied or unknown authorship, many of which have not heretofore appeared in manuals of praise, and some of which, being abridged, amended, and arranged, are now first fitted to be used in the service and worship of the house of prayer. Fourth, with these are included a number of original hymns and tunes, which are sent forth with some sense of the responsibility incurred either in publishing or withholding them. Hymns from the same source, previously printed, have been caught up, republished in various collections, and widely sung. The reception of those contained in this collection cannot be fore seen. But while many remain unpublished, it has seemed proper to issue these, especially as through the compactness of its mechanical ar rangement, the book, though containing some five hundred hymns not to be found in other collections, still remains portable in form and moderate in price. The unfamiliar hymns by well-known and standard authors need neither apology nor recommendation; and if among the new hymns there shall one be discovered which the Church of God will not willingly let die, it will be a justification for the existence of this volume, and an occasion of devout thanksgiving to Him who is both the source and the object of the songs of his people.

Download or read book Hymns for the Church and Home Classic Reprint written by William Fleming Stevenson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hymns for the Church and Home Editor has been guided not only by the merits of the hymn, but by its subject. Many hymns have been excluded, not because they are inferior to those that were adopted, but because the subject was already sufficiently illustrated, and some, be cause, however admirable, they were not so simple as that the poor and unleamed of the congregation could make them their own. In the hymns for Family and Private Worship, this rule has not been so strictly followed, and the line between the two parts has not been so rigidly drawn but that some hymns in each will be found admissible in the other. A place has also been found here for some which, however broad and congregational in their character, yet, being translations and in unfamiliar metres, have not become rooted among us; and one or two, such as 427, would have been inserted in the first part, but that it was already in type. The hymns for Children have been separately numbered, to prevent those who use them from being puzzled by what would otherwise have been the highest figures; but they are an integral part of the book, from which they are not intended to be detached, and which necessarily includes in its other divisions hymns which children ought to know.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of Faith and Hope There is no doubt of the welcome of a good song. This is more true of a gospel song. It is most true of a goodly collection of gospel songs. The book which we are introducing with this opening word has two great advantages over many of its kind. In the first place, it is official: issued by the Western Methodist Book Concern, one of the official publishing-houses of our great Church. It may be presumed that great care has been exercised in the selection of its contents, having in mind the proper teaching which the Church should indorse. Second, it is edited by a man well known in the world of gospel songs. A glance at the contents will show his skill and excellent taste. Prof. J. M. Black is the only one of many song writers and composers who was selected as amember of the Joint Commission to produce the official Methodist Hymnal recently published.

Download or read book Popular Hymns written by Canon Duncan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Hymns: Their Authors and Teaching Few things reveal the richness of our Christian inheritance and help us to realise the Communion of Saints more than the study of our Church hymns. They take us back into bygone centuries, introduce us to the saints and martyrs of our common faith, supply us with holy thoughts and burning words, and dispose us to join in the ministry of song. The Book of Psalms was the hymn book of our Blessed Lord and His Apostles. The Song of the Blessed Virgin, the Song of Zacharias, and the Song of Simeon, were the earliest New Testament hymns. The angels song, Glory to God in the highest, was the first Christian hymn sung after the birth of Christ; and there is evidence that the early Christians sang it daily, and gradually enlarged it for general use, that, with the angels, they might praise their God and Saviour. Pliny the younger, a heathen writer of the first century, says, Christians meet at anearly hour, before dawn, for worship, and sing a hymn of praise to Christ as God. In the Christian Church some of the Psalms soon became great favourites, especially the Hundredth, which alone bears the title, A Psalm of Praise, or Thanksgiving, it being all aglow with gratitude and adoration, for the creative power and goodness of our Lord. For, as The Speaker's Commentary says, This Psalm contains a promise of Christianity, as winter at its close contains a promise of Spring. The trees are ready to bud, the flowers are just hidden by the light soil, the clouds are heavy with rain, the sun shines in his strength; only a genial wind from the south is wanted to give a new life to all things. When that new life came through Christ Jesus, this Psalm was felt to express the Church's gratitude, and, in the Metrical Version so well known to us, it became the regular Hymn of Thanksgiving in all branches of the Reformed Church of Christ. It is one of the few Psalms to which Shakespeare refers in his plays. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
