Excerpt from The Hymnal of PraiseIt is hardly possible, then, to overstate the importance of the use of the very best in Christian hymnology. The present collection is the result of a long-continued endeavor to bring together the greatest hymns of many lands and of many centuries, and to associate With these an nu usual number of the most helpful of the recent hymns voicing the growing devotion to a Kingdom of God that is to come in home and school and nation, in social service for city and country, in missionary heroism giving itself to our own land and all lands, in international brotherhood and universal peace.Great pains have been taken to link these hymns with the choicest tunes in use in America, England, Germany and other countries. While careful regard has been paid to preserving established associations of tunes With hymns, new adaptations have been made Which it is believed Will give fresh interest and dignity to the use of many valuable hymns, thus distinctly enriching the service of song.As the name of this hymnal implies, it is prepared With the conviction that all worthy and enduring hymnology is fundamentally an expression of praise in thought and life, and that while a Wide range of human experience is included, the hymnal should constantly encourage the substitution of the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
