Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of the Christian Centuries: The Book of One Hundred Immortal Hymns This book is intended primarily for the home, and is so small and inexpensive that each member of the household may be supplied with a book containing words and music of 100 of the really great hymns. Few congregations sing more than a hundred hymns; and it would be a blessing to many churches if they would sing these and no others until the really great songs become familiar.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hymns for the Christian Church and Home Worship is an attitude which our nature assumes, not for a purpose, but from an emotion. Whenever it is genuine, it is the natural and spontaneous utterance of a mind possessed by the conception of the infinite relations in which we stand, and aspiring towards a point of new worthy of their solemnity. And though it breathes forth the deepest and greatest of desires, it is essentially an end, and not a means and, like the embrace of friendship, or the kiss of domestic affection, loses all its meaning, when adopted from conviction of its reasonableness, or 'with a view to personal advantage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hymns of the Christian Centuries "A Hymn," says S. Augustine, "consists of praise to God and that with song." The dawn of the Christian Era was ushered in with the Angelic Hymn at Bethlehem; the Gloria in Excelsis, still sung in all branches of the Church, and from the fifth century (perhaps the fourth) forming part of our Eucharistic Service. After the Angels' Hymn follow in a glorious succession the Magnificat, the Benedictus, the Nunc Dimittis, the Acclaim of the children in the streets of Jerusalem. These, in their majesty and beauty eclipsing all others of all times, are the only known hymns of the first century. Two of the Evangelists point to the Highest of all as our Authority for the use and love of hymns in recording the singing of a hymn by our Lord and His Apostles after the institution of the Lord's Supper. Glorious indeed must have been that strain as the voices of our Blessed Lord and the Eleven rose on the night air from that upper room in Jerusalem.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gospel and Epistle Hymns for the Christian Year A great and increasing desire has been manifested in many quarters for special hymns to be used on the differ ent Sundays in the year. Hoping in some measure to be able to supply this need, the author of this work, who for many years has been engaged in the translation of hymns from the Latin, German, and other languages, has now prepared a series of original hymns for each Sunday and great Festival, based upon the Scriptural teaching of the service for the day, and written in a variety of easy, flowing and familiar metres.

The proper tune for each hymn, with the name of the author is indicated in this edition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no part of the general field of Christian hymnology so baffling to the student or so full of difficulties as the one under consideration in this paper. Many accounts of the subject are in existence but are far from conclusive. This is due, first of all, to the unexpected scarcity of original sources. When one views the rise of Christianity from its inception to the period of the Council of Nicaea, 325, its numerical growth from a handful of original adherents to millions of followers at the time of the Edict of Milan, 313, its literary development from early scattered records to the works of the great Greek and Latin fathers, one cannot help inquiring, “What has become of their hymns?” Aeterna Press

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hymns of Praise and Prayer Third of a century has elapsed since the publication of the Hymns for the Christian Church and Home. If during that time nothing had occurred to affect the value of the volume except a gradual enrichment of our religious literature by new hymns, the publi cation of a supplement would have satisfied every need but, in passing through a generation remarkable for rapid change, Christian piety itself, notwithstanding its essential permanence, has insensibly modified its complexion; and, in its truest moments, resorts to other centres of meditation, and speaks in other tones, than those which were natural to our fathers. Hence, in justice to the exigencies of a fresh time, it is not enough to add what is absent; it is requisite also to withdraw something that is present, in manuals of an earlier date; and, in attempting a complete re-cast of the materials at disposal for the lyrical part of public worship, I hope to provide better for a real continuity of religious life, than by any less extensive change.
