This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sabbath Hymn and Tune Book, for the Service of Song in the House of the Lord Two principal methods have prevailed, to a greater or less degree, in the Service Of Song in Chris tian worship; that of the whole Congregation, and that of a select Choir. The Congregational was the primitive method, and the only one known in the earlier history of the Church. The method of sing ing by a choir came into the Church at a later period, with wealth, power, and worldly greatness, and it has been her attendant rather in temporal prosperity, than in poverty and adversity. At the time of the Reformation, Congregational Singing had become extinct, and the more artistic manner of choirs, consisting mostly Of an inferior order of the clergy, singing in a language unknown to the people, had taken its place. Luther, Calvin, Knox, and others, took early measures to rescue the singing exercises in public worship from the hands of the clergy, and to reinstate it as an exercise for the people. As the abuses of the Romish church had led to the rejection of chanting (the primitive form of Church Song) the Psalms were translated, or hymns were written in a stanzaic form, and adapted to a simple but dignified form of melody, with special reference to the capabilities of the peo ple. The union of the whole assembly in the exercise was regarded as essential. Other liturgical forms were rejected; but this new one of a metrical Psalmody, for the people's simultaneous utterance of praise and prayer, was received with great favor, and almost universally practiced. It was no attempt on the part Of the Reformers to introduce an artistic manner of song, but, on the contrary, a very plain one, a highway of Psalmody, in which the wayfaring man, though a fool, should not err. The Congregational method, thus restored to the churches, was brought to this country by the Prot estant Fathers. It continued to be their only method for about a century and a half. It is not sur prising that during this period, amidst the deprivations which the new settlements experienced, atten tion to song should have been neglected, nor that, neglected by generation after generation, the ability for it should have been well nigh lost. In the early part of the last century the very low con dition Of the singing in public worship began to attract the attention of some of the friends of religion, and measures were taken by a few of the leading clergymen and others for reform. Hitherto all the singing in the American churches had been unisonous, the melody only having been sung; but in 1720 a book of tunes in three parts, Cantus, Medius and Basus, was published by Rev. Thomas Walter. The harmonizing of the tunes in parts undoubtedly grew out of the fact that the more elaborate service of choirs had always taken that form both in the Lutheran and the English church. In the Protestant churches Of Europe generally, metrical Psalmody continues to this day to be sung, as it was originally, in unison, and it is at least doubtful whether parts in harmony for the choir and unison for the congregation, would not still be the best arrangement for Church Song. This new arrangement Of tunes in parts led to 'the formation of choirs. At first, they were introduced only as helps to Congregational Singing, but this gradually yielded, as it had done before, and the new method advanced with sure and steady progress, until towards the close of the last century it had become the almost exclusive method of Church Song.

Download or read book Hymns for Divine Worship Classic Reprint written by Methodist New Connexion and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 832 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hymns for Divine Worship The present collection is larger than was first contemplated, and larger also than can soon be exhausted in any series of ser vices connected with one congregation. But then, in the first place, it was quickly found that the stores at command were so rich as to offer great temptations to exceed the limits originally prescribed. Again, it was remembered that the collection was not designed for a single congregation or society, but for many such united in one Denomination; nor therefore fora single minister, whose ordinary selection of hymns might be limited to his own individual taste or type of ministry, but for a considerable number discharging the same religious functions each Lord's-day, in whom varieties of taste and modes of handling the Word of God might reasonably be supposed to exist great enough to turn to profitable account even a larger collection than is here brought together. Moreover, the wish was to cover with the service of song as much of the whole field of Christian experience as possible, - to furnish a book of devotion for the closet, as well as a selection of psalms and hymns and spiritual songs for the sanctuary; and to do both with as much fulness and completeness as would minister to almost every variety of religious sentiment, either by first suggesting and exciting it, or, when excited, by supplying the language in which it should find most fitting ex press1on. For this purpose the works of nearly all our hymn-writers have been examined, and the best of them laid under heavy tribute. By far the largest contribution has been levied on the compositions of the two Wesleys, whose service in this department of Christian literature would probably be found, could we estimate its whole effect in the actual experience of now living and of glorified piety, the richest part of that entire legacy which their genius and sanctity have bequeathed to successive generations of believers from their own time to the end of all things. But to their compositions others have been added of men worthy to stand by their side, together with the choicest productions of many more only just inferior to those.

Others again will draw your heart and will to fresh surrender to the Lord Jesus, and will breathe your prayer to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

We have tried in this book to use only those hymns whose teachings are in accordance with that of the Bible which is the Word of God, and will lift up the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the Redeemer of the world, and the Saviour of all who will put their trust in Him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from For Days and Years: A Book Containing a Text, Short Reading and Hymn for Every Day in the Church's Year Tum can be no doubt but it is of the very utmost importance how we keep holy the House of prayer. This lies at the very heart of all religion; it is the fountain-head and spring from which flows the stream of life. Worship God aright, and all will be well. Come before Him without fear, and all your life will be as a city over which Christ weeps. And to bring it more closely home, the body of every Christian is called the Temple of the Holy Ghost, the House of prayer. God will come to it in the Day of Judgment in mercy or wrath. And what have we to regard with awe and reverence so much as the presence of Christ in our own souls? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Original Poetry: Consisting of Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs, Including Some on the Prophecies Relating to the Grand Millennium or Reign of Saints Upon the Earth It will not be denied, I presume, by persons who are the best informed, and of the most enlightened judgment, that the reading of compositions in verse on scriptural subjects may be both interesting, instructive, and profitable, as the mind of the reader is prepared to understand and receive the vital truths contained in the selected portions of "holy writ." Under such impressions, the greater proportion of the following pieces were penned and published, and which will, I believe, tend to elucidate some of the most striking and remarkable passages found in the "Book of Books."
