Excerpt from Hymns, Original and Translated From daily tasks set free, And met within Thy holy place To rest awhile with Thee. Around us rolls the ceaseless tide Of business, toil, and care; And scarcely can we turn aside For one brief hour of prayer. Yet these are not the only walls Wherein Thou mayst be sought; On homeliest work Thy blessing falls. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Hymns of the Ages: For Public and Social Worship In the preparation of the Hymns of the Ages, the Editor has expend ed a vast amount of time and labor, and has attempted to gather the best hymns and tunes both of Europe and America. The cost of copyrights has been very great. He wishes to return thanks to those composers who have kindly allowed him to use their pieces gratis; and to a large number of European composers whose addresses it has been impossible to secure. He is under lasting obligation to the accomplished musician Prof. N. Bowditch Clapp, for his revision of the musical part of the work; and, for their help in the selection of hymns and tunes, to Rev. M. D. Hoge, D. D., Rev. W. A. Campbell, D. D., Rev. T. D. Witherspoon, D. D., Rev. W. S. Lacy D. D., and Rev. J. P. Smith D. D. These distinguished divines have afforded invaluable assistance by giving the' benefit of their experience and taste in the preparation of the work. A large chorus choir, trained to sing rapidly, and with spirit, is the best inspiration for congregational singing. After the introduction of a new book, there should also be meetings held on some evening during the week for congregational practice that the people may learn new tunes.

Excerpt from The English Hymnal The english hymnal is a collection of the best hymns in the English language, and is Offered as a humble companion to the Book Of Common Prayer for use in the Church. It is not a party-book, express ing this or that phase of negation or excess, but an attempt to combine in one volume the worthiest expressions of all that lies within the Christian Creed, from those ancient Fathers who were the earliest hymn-writers down to contemporary exponents of modern aspirations and ideals.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Home and School Hymnal The sub-committee appointed by the Praise Committee Of the Free Church Of Scotland, in November 1888, to prepare a hymnal for the young, present the result Of their labours in the home and school hymnal.' It has been the effort Of the sub-committee, first Of all, to provide a manual of devotion for the Family; especially to enliven and enrich the character of Family Worship. It has been their effort also to provide a manual of devotion for Sunday and Day Schools, Senior Classes, Church and other Services for the Young, Mission Services, and several Special Occasions. The result of any attempt to provide for tastes, occasions, and ages differing so widely must be a compromise. But the sub-committee trust that the selection of hymns and tunes in the home and school hymnal may prove sufficiently diversified and catholic for the Obj ects which they have in view, and sufficiently refined to please the more critical. As the use Of a Church Hymnal is assumed, the hymns and music of the home and school hymnal' have been drawn from modern sources more freely than would otherwise have been the case; and several eminent com posers have written tunes expressly for this hymnal. Pains have been taken to verify the text and authorship Of hymns and tunes; and any necessary details regarding either will be found in the full score musical editions. Apposite headings, taken sometimes from the Authorized, sometimes from the Revised, Version, have been prefixed to the hymns. The heading is in tended to express the gist of each hymn - to serve as a keynote, and should be read over distinctly before the hymn is sung.

Book Description
Excerpt from Hymns for the Church and Home Editor has been guided not only by the merits of the hymn, but by its subject. Many hymns have been excluded, not because they are inferior to those that were adopted, but because the subject was already sufficiently illustrated, and some, be cause, however admirable, they were not so simple as that the poor and unleamed of the congregation could make them their own. In the hymns for Family and Private Worship, this rule has not been so strictly followed, and the line between the two parts has not been so rigidly drawn but that some hymns in each will be found admissible in the other. A place has also been found here for some which, however broad and congregational in their character, yet, being translations and in unfamiliar metres, have not become rooted among us; and one or two, such as 427, would have been inserted in the first part, but that it was already in type. The hymns for Children have been separately numbered, to prevent those who use them from being puzzled by what would otherwise have been the highest figures; but they are an integral part of the book, from which they are not intended to be detached, and which necessarily includes in its other divisions hymns which children ought to know.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Hymnal: Published in 1895 and Revised in 1911 The Hymnal was published in October, 1895, with a preface setting forth the principles which governed its preparation. The present edition marks no departure from these principles, and no change in the general character of the book. It has been prepared with a twofold aim. First: to make a thorough revision of the materials in the light of sixteen years' practical use of the book. Hymns and tunes failing to establish themselves in popular favor have been removed. Many tunes have been set in lower keys or modified in harmony, in the interests of congrega tional singing. In these matters the Committee has been fortunate in having the sympathetic cooperation of the Musical Editor. The text of the hymns has been minutely scrutinized from the point of view of accuracy, of rhythm, and of a sincere worship: the text of the Psalter continues to be that of the standard of the American Bible Society. The arrangement of the main body of hymns under the subjects of the Apostles' Creed has been more completely carried out, with a view to assist the memory in locating hymns; and the system of cross references has been extended. The notes upon the history of hymns and tunes have been carefully restudied and revised. Second: to bring the book abreast of the latest develop ments of hymnody, and of the present state of Christian thought and feeling; especially to meet the demand for the recognition of God's nearness to everyday living, the coming of the kingdom in the sphere of common life, the spirit of brotherhood and of manly and resolute Christian life and service, social betterment, and evangelistic work. In the choice of new tunes preference has been given to those whose acceptability has been elsewhere tested in actual use; and some familiar tunes have been restored.

Book Description
Excerpt from Hymns of Worship and Service: Chapel Edition The more compendious books, as a rule, either seek to present and emphasize a special point of view or are edited with the social meet ing chiefly in mind. This compilation is based on a careful study of good usage generally, and is framed to meet all the aspects of modern church life. We vehture to assert that the hymns and tunes which compose this book will be found to constitute nine tenths of the repertory of any church, even where emphasis is laid upon the praise service. It will be found, also, that the union of hymn and tune is that which the best practice has sanctioned. The grounds of selection in each case were not individual preference, but the concurrent preference of the churches, ascertained by a painstaking tabulation of actual usage.
