Excerpt from The Companion Psalter, or Four Hundred and Fifty Versions of the Psalms: Selected and Original, for Public or Private Worship The companion psalter, as its name implies, is not designed or adapted to displace any Hymn-book now in use, but to supply a want, occasioned by recent changes in our Church Psalmody. The Church of England for a long time made provision for singing in the congregation only by the Old and New versions of the Book of Psalms. But when spiritual life revived in the last century, and the hymnal stores of our language were largely increased, private zeal supplied, to some extent, this great defect in the public liturgy. Many collections were prepared, and came into use in many churches, composed of selected versions of the Psalms, and a larger number of hymns by modern Writers. Of late the change has proceeded further. The great increase of the materials from which a selection can be made, with other reasons, have led recent compilers to omit the Psalter entirely, except a few versions blended with the general series of hymns, and thus to depart entirely from the earlier usage of the Church of England.
