Excerpt from The Church of England Hymnal
HE present Hymnal is offered, in addition to the many that are already in existence, in response to an earnest demand. Many Ministers and Members of the Church of Christ have felt, and expressed their feeling, that a collection of distinctive Evangelical Hymns was still needed. It is in compliance with an oft-repeated request that this effort has been made to supply an existing deficiency. In this book there will be found no hymns that express or suggest doctrines alien to the Spirit of God''s Word and foreign to our reformed Church. Many, too, have felt that the unauthorised use of epithets of endearment, which have no warrant from Holy Scripture, in our approach to God in prayer and praise, has seriously fallen short of the lowly reverence which should characterise all our devotions; and this feeling has been remembered with watchful care.
