Excerpt from The Missioner's HymnalMission hymns are intended for congregations specially gathered together during a Mission, or in a Mission Chapel, rather than for habitual attendants at Church. Their object is not so much worship, as the arousing and expressing those religious feelings which it is the function of a Mission to quicken and develop. Sorrow for sin, and the desire for pardon and a new life, have to be kindled in the heart, before there can be attained that true repentance, and that firm determination to persevere in the way of holiness, without which the Mission will have failed in accomplishing its purpose.Fervent and hearty Hymn-singing is one of the most important means of thus stirring up the dull and sluggish hearts on which the Mission is intended to act. The Hymns therefore should be set to tunes which the people will readily sing. Elaborate harmonies are out of place, and the melodies should be such as can be quickly caught up and easily remembered.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
