A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Poetry! thou sweet st content That eer Heaven to mortals lent! I do but sing because I must, And pipe but as the linnets sing. George Wither. Alfred Tennyson. The first true worship of the worlds great King From private and selected hearts did spring. Henry Vaughan. The gift, whose office is the Giver spraise, To trace Him inH is word, His works. His ways: Then spread the rich discovery, and invite Mankind to share in the divine delight. William Cowper. God sent His singers upon earth With songs of sadness and of mirth. That they might touch the hearts of men. And bring them back to heaven again. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. There are in this loud stunning tide Of human care and crime, With whom the melodies abide Of the everlasting chime ;W ho carry music in the heart. Through dusky lane and wrangling mart. Plying their lowly task with busier feet Because their secret souls a holy strain repeat. John Keble. Yet, when I remember the tears I shed at the Psalmody ofT hy Church, in the beginning of my recovered faith; and how at this time I am moved, not with the singing, but with the things sung, when they are sung with a clear voice and modulation most suitable,! acknowledge the great use of this institution. Thus I fluctuate between peril of pleasure and approved wholesomeness, inclined the rather (though not as pronouncing an irrevocable opinion) to approve of the use of singing in the Church ;that so by the delight of the ears, the weaker minds may rise to the feeling of devotion. Yet when it befalls me to be more moved with the voice than the words sung, I confess to have sinned penally, and then had rather not hear music. Augustine (C onfessions ). Worship is transcendent wonder wonder for which there is no limit or measure ;that is worship. Thomas Carlyle. Make the Church full of praise, and it will be full of God. God and His praise cannot be apart. OT

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
