TRUSTEES’ PREFACE.

THE publication of this revised edition of THE CHRISTIAN HYMNAL
has been undertaken in response to a very general desire for such a work,
as indicated in the action of the General Christian Missionary Convention,
at its session held in Louisville, Ky., October, 1880. A committee appointed
at that time to take into consideration the propriety of such a revision, made
the following report, which was adopted by the Convention :

1. That we deem the subject of the hymnology of the Church, in its bearing on the
development of Christian life and character, to be of the ﬁrst importance, and, to merit the
watchful care of the brotherhood.

2. That we deem it very desirable, as tending to promote unity and fellowship in our
worship, to harmonize, as far as possible, our church music, by having the same psalmody
in all our churches.

3. That, while we regard our present Hymnal as an excellent compilation of music and
sacred poetry, and its general use thus far, in our churches, as highly complimentary to
the musical taste and sound judgment of the brethren under whose supervision it was
prepared, we, nevertheless, believe that it is necessary, in order to preserve the unity in our
hymnology above referred to, and to keep it abreast of the times, that the Committee pro-
ceed, at the earliest practicable date, to make such a thorough revision of the same as will,
in their judgment, aided by the wisest counsel they can secure, adapt it to the present needs
at the brotherhood, and, so far as practicable, place it beyond the reach of just criticism;
that while such economy in this revision, as may be in harmony with the necessary im—
provements, is recommended, in order that any profit arising from its sale may inure to
the beneﬁt of the missionary work, such beneﬁt should, in our judgment. be held subordi-
nate to the more important object of producing such a book as will meet the demands
of musical worship in our large and growing brotherhood.

The trustees immediately announced this action of the Convention
through the religious press, and on the 27th of November, 1880, a circular
was issued, calling attention to the proposed work, and requesting sug-
gestions as to changes needed, that the character of the revision might be

such as to give it as Wide an acceptance as possible.

4 TRUSTEES’ PREFACE.

Several hundred copies of this circular were mailed to prominent brethren.
There was secured in response a large number of letters advising many
changes.

On the 20th of January, 1881, the trustees met to consider these sugges-
tions, and decide What action should be taken to carry into effect (most
successfully) the Wishes of the brotherhood. Two members of the original
editing committee being dead, T. M. Allen and A. S. Hayden; a third,
W. T. Moore, being in England, and, therefore, unable to assist in the
work; and the engagements of W. K. Pendleton and Isaac Errett, the
remaining members of the committee, being such as to prevent their partici-
pation, A. I. Hobbs, C. L. Loos, J. S. Lamar, A. R. Benton, and Joseph
Franklin were appointed editors, tO whom the hymnology of the new book
was committed; and J. H. Fillmore, L. H. Jameson, and T. P. Haley were
selected to take charge of the music.

The correspondence received by the trustees in answer to their circular
was placed in the hands of these committees, and since that time the work
has been entirely under their direction.

They have been at great labor and pains to make the production in every
respect a superior one.

A considerable sum of money has been expended in procuring new music;
and no means have been spared to make as perfect a Hymnal as possible.
At the same time, the price has been kept so low as to make it the cheapest
publication of the kind in the United States, and cause its general introduction
to be as easy and speedy as possible.

In conclusion, the trustees wish to express their conﬁdence in the high
character of the work which is presented, and hope that it may meet with
the approval of the brotherhood, and that in its use many may ﬁnd that
“it is good to sing praises unto our God.”

REVISERS’ PREFACE.

THE Revisers of THE CHRISTIAN HYMNAL having completed their work,
herewith submit it to the favorable consideration of the Churches of Christ.
While we do not presume to claim that it is beyond the reach of adverse
criticism, yet we feel conﬁdent that it will meet the wants of the Churches
for public and social worship, and we trust it will be heartily accepted by them.

Attention is asked to some of its more prominent features.

It will be noticed that the division of the book into general departments
has been discarded. At ﬁrst glance this may seem to be a loss, but careful
reﬂection will show it to be a great gain. It is more than compensated by
giving a wider scope for the adaptation of hymns to tunes; by a closer
proximity of hymns of the same metre; by locating on facing pages (a
larger number of tunes and hymns interchangeable; by escaping frequent
arbitrary adaptation of hymns to music in one department, which ought to
appear in another; and by the analytical index, which has been made quite
full, so that hymns on any desired subject may be easily found.

In order to secure a wider range of subjects, we have not conﬁned ourselves
to our former collection of hymns, but have introduced, from various sources,
many new and valuable ones. A larger number of devotional hymns
has been diligently sought for. A number of excellent chants has also been
selected. Much care has been taken to secure such a collection as the
'exigencies of the times demand, and the spiritual needs of the people require.

The number of tunes suitable for congregational and social worship
has been greatly enlarged, and, at the same time, we have kept in view
the wants of those Who desire more diﬂicult music. Many pieces of music
retained have been transposed or rearranged where improvement seemed
possible.

Several original hymns and tunes have been contributed by persons,
who are given due credit, by name, where their contributions appear.

Part II has been compiled with a view to convenient revision, When
necessary to bring in valuable new music, or to cast out that which may
not stand the test of use—also that it may be published separately, if thought

best, in cheap form, for use in protracted meetings and elsewhere. We
have here introduced many of the best of the recent popular tunes and hymns.

We have had the beneﬁt of a large and varied correspondence—suggest-
ing what to omit, what to insert—with many helpful criticisms and recommen-
dations. And, although we could not, in every case, adopt them, we have
carefully studied to meet the Views of the larger number, so as to make the
book as widely acceptable as possible. Thanks to all these correspondents,
the mention of whom by name would too greatly lengthen this preface.

We also take pleasure in acknowledging our indebtedness to the editors
of the former Hymnal, whose labors we inherited.

The importance of general uniformity in our hymns and music, for the
maintenance of spiritual unity, can not well be disregarded. We have
steadily kept in View congregational singing; therefore, we earnestly
entreat all the Churches to supply their pews bountifully with the new
Hymnal, that all the people may sing.

Praying God that this book may be a valuable instrument in perfecting

His praise, in quickening true worship among His people, and that its sweep
of sentiment and song may assist in turning many sinners to the Lord Jesus,
we send it forth upon this holy mission.

1 YE nations round the earth, rejoice 1 BE still! be still! for all around,
Before the Lord, your sov’reign King; On either hand, is holy ground;

Serve Him with cheerful heart and voice; Here in His house, the Lord, to-day,
With all your tongues His glory sing. Will listen While His people pray.

‘ 2 The Lord is God; ’tis He alone 2 Thou, toss’d upon the waves of care,
3 Doth life, and breath, and being give; Ready to sink with deep despair,
‘ We are His work, and not our own: Here ask relief with heart sincere,

The sheep that on His pastures live. And thou shalt ﬁnd that God is here.
3 Enter His gates with songs of joy; 3 Thou who hast laid within the grave
: , With praises to His courts repair; Those Whom thou hadst no pow’r to save,
' And make it your divine employ Now to the mercy-seat draw near,

To pay your thanks and honors there. With all thy woes, for God is here.

" - 4 The Lord is good, the Lord is kind; 4 Thou who hast dear ones far away,

Great is His grace, His mercy sure; In foreign lands, ’mid ocean’s spray,
_ And the whole race of men shall ﬁnd Pray for them now, and dry the tear,
, . His truth from age to age endure. And trust the God who listens here.
28 L. M. uxmowx. 5 Thou who art mourning o’er thy sin,

Deploring guilt that reigns within,
The God of peace is ever near,
’ The troubled spirit meets Him here.

where all divine perfections meet

l “.3 There wisdom shines in fullest blaze, 1 To God, the great, the ever-blest,

And justice all her right maintains; Let songs of honor be address’d!

3 Yes, mercy reigns, and justice too; 2 Who knows the wonder of His ways?

In Christ they both harmonious meet; WhocanmakeknownHisboundless praise?

2 Here all who suffer’d sword or ﬂame
For truth, or Jesus’ lovely name,
Shout vict’ry now, and hail the Lamb,
And how before the great I AM.

Eternal love shall feast their soul,

And scenes of bliss forever new

Rise in succession to their View.
