A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book is designed to be used for congregational singing, in connection with the Psahii-B ook approved and authorized by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, in the United States of A merica. A ccordingly, the psalms and hymns have been copied into it with the same numbers which they bear in that collection. So that, in using the two books together, it will be necessary to announce the number of the selection and the number of the psalm or hymn. When the present book is used by itself, the number of the selection only need be named. n.-TO TH03E WHO DIRECT THE SINGING. 1. In order that the continued and successful cooperation of the congregation in congregational singing may be secured, it is absolutely essential that those psalms in which they are expected to sing should be unfailingly set to tunes perfectly familiar. A single disappointment of the congregation by the substitution of an unfamiliar tune where an old one was expected, may undo all that has been accomplished in many weeks, for the encouragement of hearty and unanimous singing from all the people. The tunes in this book have been chosen chiefly on the ground of their familiarity to the people ;and of these it will be well, for the first fewS undays, if the minister will give out hymns for the commonest and easiest. If there are three or four tunes in it which are not already known to all the people, they will soon become so when the book is faithfully used. It is a great and obvious advantage to singing in public worship, where a particular hymn is strongly associated with a particular tune. This advantage also will be secured by the proper use of this book, according to its plain intention.
