The Lesser Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns, Selected Chiefly from the Standard Hymn-Book - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
Explanatory. The object of this book is manifold :1. To aid in giving unity to the Church, Social Meeting, andS unday-S chool. The Sunday-school pupil should not find theS ocial and Church Singing an unknown realm. A riel, Harwell, Coronation, Almost Persuaded, and a hundred other ringing or tender tunes, are as appropriate for theS unday-school as for any other assembly. The glorious old hymns of the ages should vibrate through every department of the Church, and the vivid, vital hymns of faith that have been born of latter-day Pentecosts, that have thrilled camp-meetings, love-feasts, and prayermeetings, should spread both ways into Church andS unday-school. Then the child and the oldest saint will feel at home in every department. 2. To put, at the lowest possible price, a large variety of sterling standard hymns, unaltered and unabridged, whose meaning is well understood and approved, within the reach of all. 8. To suggest a great variety of tunes, both old and new. Leaders are apt to fall into the habit of using a very limited number of tunes, to the great detriment of si)irited singing. To print this great variety in our limits would be impossible. We have, therefore, given the melody, or a part of it where it is well known, of over two hundred tunes, and referred, for the convenience of the organist, to the page in the Tribute of Praise vhere the harmony is to be found. The hymn will usually be found in the Tribute associated with the first tune mentioned. The first number given refers in each case to the melody at the back part of the book.
