Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hymns of the Christian Life Bearing in mind these facts, the preparation of hymns or the christian life has been conducted with the greatest care in the selection of material; almost every well -known composer has been drawn upon; and no expense has been spared to secure the largest number of the best hymns that can be crowded into the un usually large space allowed. The music has been thoroughly tested; the words critically examined; and the whole reviewed many times. Special attention is called to the arrangement under classified topics, an ad vantage not to be found (with one exception), in any modern American hymn book outside the church hymnals. This classification is of immense value to all pastors, evangelists, and leaders of meetings generally, enabling them at once to turn to a large number of hymns on a given subject. The topics of Invitation, and Salvation will be found unusually rich for Gos pel Work. Many choice solos have been introduced, for special use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life-Time Hymns: A Collection of Old and New Hymns of the Christian Church; For the Use in Churches, Sunday-Schools, Prayer Meetings and Social Gatherings A book worthy of such a title ought to be rich in hymns and in music. A There is not a hymn in this book that is not worthy to live in our memories for a life time. There are some hymns that go with us from childhood to manhood and womanhood, and are still with us when we reach the gates of heaven. They never lose their power over us and their charm is never broken. Other hymns come and go, but these abide. Such hymns have been gathered from all possible sources for the enrichment of these pages. The music is of a high order. Much of it is classical. Many of the best pieces have been thoroughly tested by trained choirs and large congregations. There is need of a book which will aid in elevating the poetical and musical taste of the people. Life-time-hymns will contribute largely to this desired result. Acknowledgments are hereby gratefully extended to the composers, writers and publishers who have permitted us to use their valuable copy rights. For Sabbath-schools, social meetings, and great out-door assemblies, we believe-life-time-hymns is without a peer.

Download or read book Songs of the Christian Life Classic Reprint written by Charles H. Richards and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 516 pages. 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.

These hymns interpret the inmost thoughts and aspira tions of those who desire a better country, that is an heavenly. Christian. It is evidently the outcome of a devout mind, nourished in the evangelical tradition, represented by a long line of Scotch worthies from Rutherford to Bonar, and to that portion of the Christian public - happily a large one - which is in sympathy with truth thus stated, it is likely to be both welcome and helpful. The thought is always clear and the sentiment is unstrained, and there are musical verses which prove that the writer has an indubitable share of the lyric gift. - British Weekly.

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.

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.
