Excerpt from Psalms and Hymns, and Spiritual Songs: A Manual of Worship for the Church of Christ This Book of Hymns and Tunes has been prepared by a Pastor in charge of Church. He has undertaken the work with the single aim and hope of encouraging singing by the Congregation, as a part of divine worship. He has not sought to compile a Manual of Hymnology, nor to furnish a collection of pieces of Lyric Poet ry. Everything has been bent to the one purpose of actual use. All the Selections are set to music in sight. But it is not to be understood that each must be sung exactly and invariably to the tune under which it is printed. In most cases a choice is presented a new or fresher one being matched with one older or more familiar. It may be that mere mechanical reasons have forced the hymn into the place it occupies, when the more appropriate music will be found below, or across on the Opposite page. A quiet care in noting the metres will avoid all confusion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
