Hymn to Perpetual Light: A Transcendental Comedy in Six Cantos makes use of Spenserian Stanzas and free verse to describe God's salvation of a world gone astray through Primal Sin. Beginning with theological and philosophical observations about God's relationship to his creation, poet Don Beach compares enlightenment to a spiritual journey. This would be from the darkness of a cave-like existence (ignorance and unawareness similar to Plato's Allegory of the Cave) to the bright light of reality and redemption through God's divine love and compassion. Fortunately, some cave dwellers aren't incorrigible or sinful beyond redemption; they are more likely to be confused and misguided. This, in turn, causes them to be detached from truth, beauty, and God's redeeming love. But the poet shows us that every person can be saved by traveling the challenging road to enlightenment and salvation that he describes in Hymn to Perpetual Light.

D.H. Lawrence, writing of the poems that had meant most to him, said that they were `still not woven so deep in me as the rather banal Nonconformist hymns that penetrated through and through my childhood'. It is not easy to account for this, and most writing about hymns has not helped because it has concentrated on their content and function in worship and liturgy. In the present book the author tries to account for feelings like Lawrence's by examining the hymn form and its progress through the centuries from the Reformation to the present day. He begins by discussing the status of a hymn text and relates it to the demands made upon it by the needs of singing. A chronological study then traces the development of the English hymn, from the metrical psalms of the Reformation, through the seventeenth century and Isaac Watts to the Wesleys, Cowper, Toplady, and others, and then to the great flood of hymn writing that occurred during the Victorian period, together with the great success of Hymns Ancient and Modern. There are chapters on American hymnody and women's hymn writing, and sections on gospel hymns and the translation of German hymnody. A final chapter takes the story into the twentieth century, with a brief postscript on the revival of hymn writing since 1960.
