Download or read book The Hymn of the Robe of Glory written by G. R. S. Mead and published by Book Tree. This book was released on 2005-02 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This hymn or poem is an important Gnostic text and should be essential reading for anyone interested in early mystical literature. Also known as "The Hymn of the Pearl", it is an allegorical tale. Instead of an outer journey, as it first seems, it is interpreted here as a deeper, inner one. It contains a message that can be quite profound, depending on the reader's level of spiritual understanding. This book works on the inner psyche, creating an interactive balance, in some cases, between the upper (hidden) and lower (physical) worlds. That was the aim of many Gnostic stories, poems and parables. With that in mind, this book has much to offer.

Book excerpt: The original title of this beautiful Gnostic Poem has been lost, and it is now generally referred to as The Hymn of the Soul. Preuschen, however, calls it The Song of Deliverance (Das Lied von der Erlosung); while in my Fragments (1900) I ventured to name it The Hymn of the Robe of Glory. I here, also, prefer to retain this title, as it seems the more appropriate. The original text of the Poem is in Old Syriac, in lines of twelve syllables with a caesura, and so in couplets, for the most part of six syllables. A text of a Greek version has recently been discovered by Bonnet at Rome (C. Vallicellanus B. 35) and published in his text of The Acts of Thomas (1903). It is partly literal, partly paraphrastic, with occasional doublets and omissions of whole lines. In addition there is a summary in Greek by a certain Nicetas, Archibishop of Thessalonica, who flourished prior to the XIth century (the date of the MS. in which his abridgment is found), but who is otherwise unknown. This seems to be based on another Greek version. The copy of the original Syriac text is found in a single MS. only (Brit. Mus. Add. 14645), which contains a collection of Lives of Saints, and bears the precise date 936 A.D. Our Poem is found in the text of the Syriac translation from the Greek of The Acts of Judas Thomas the Apostle; it has, however, evidently nothing to do with the original Greek text of these Acts, and its style and contents are quite foreign to the rest of the matter. It is manifestly an independent document incorporated by the Syrian redactor, who introduces it in the usual naive fashion of such compilations

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of Grace and Glory They are happy in finding the current of intelligent public sentiment setting strongly in favor of devotional hymns in the Sunday School, as fostering the spirit of true worship. They trust the day is not far distant when the term sacred music will be understood to include the chil dren's offering of praise as well as the more stately service of the Sanctuary. They recognize the gratifying fact that the adult element is largely and constantly increasing in our schools, and therefore feel that a majority of hymns should be such as may be profitably used by this class, while none should be above the comprehension of children. How far they have succeeded in meeting the demand growing out of these conditions, a discriminating pub lic must judge.

Download or read book The Golden Chain of Praise written by Thomas Hornblower Gill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-08 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Golden Chain of Praise: Hymns HE wellnigh ninety hymns which appear for the first time in this edition are not introduced together or set in chronological order, but are arranged among the others according to the theme, in conformity with the character and title of the book, so as to fit in as links of one unbroken Chain of Praise. While no chronological order is observed, I have affixed the date of composition to each hymn for the sake of friends in England and America interested in such matters. The half-century (1845 - 1894) which separates the last born from the first born of these strains, a period so fruitful in religious change, has but the more commended to me that conception of Religion as an inward principle, as a moral and spiritual power manifesting its work on the heart by its workings on the life which pervades the latest as it inspired the earliest of these divine songs. I have sought to combine the depth of the seventeenth with the width of the nineteenth century, to blend the spirit of the ancestral Puritans with the loftiest aspirations of our own time. Seven of the hymns put forth in the First Edition have been withdrawn on account of imperfection ofviii Preface to this Edition.

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 2018-02-04 with total page 614 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 The Song of the Redeemed During a period of much debility and pain, the following Song has been written with the design of promoting the glory of the Lord, and the happiness of man. Salvation is its great and important theme. The question, What shall a man give in exchange for his soul implies salvation is of infinite importance to our present and eternal welfare. For it, Jesus left the regions of glory, and suffered and died in this apostate world. It is God's master-piece of spiritual display, involving the perfections of Deity, the happiness of man, and the eternal halleluiahs of saints and angels. It is the science and the song OF all eternity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It merely lays down the law, thus betraying that it is an intermediary between someone else and me. This law is certainly not of my own making, nor does it come from society.
