The Hymnal


Book Description

Understanding the culture of living with hymnbooks offers new insight into the histories of poetry, literacy, and religious devotion. It stands barely three inches high, a small brick of a book. The pages are skewed a bit, and evidence of a small handprint remains on the worn, cheap leather covers that don’t quite close. The book bears the marks of considerable use. But why—and for whom—was it made? Christopher N. Phillips’s The Hymnal is the first study to reconstruct the practices of reading and using hymnals, which were virtually everywhere in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Isaac Watts invented a small, words-only hymnal at the dawn of the eighteenth century. For the next two hundred years, such hymnals were their owners’ constant companions at home, school, church, and in between. They were children's first books, slaves’ treasured heirlooms, and sources of devotional reading for much of the English-speaking world. Hymnals helped many people learn to memorize poetry and to read; they provided space to record family memories, pass notes in church, and carry everything from railroad tickets to holy cards to business letters. In communities as diverse as African Methodists, Reform Jews, Presbyterians, Methodists, Roman Catholics, and Unitarians, hymnals were integral to religious and literate life. An extended historical treatment of the hymn as a read text and media form, rather than a source used solely for singing, this book traces the lives people lived with hymnals, from obscure schoolchildren to Emily Dickinson. Readers will discover a wealth of connections between reading, education, poetry, and religion in Phillips’s lively accounts of hymnals and their readers.




Sing Praise


Book Description

A comprehensive worship supplement that will fit many churches' needs for quality modern music resources, arranged seasonally and thematically. The 330 hymns and songs included represent many influential writers and styles including selections from Bernadette Farrell, John Bell, Stuart Townsend, Michael Forster, Graham Kendrick, Carl Daw, Taizé, Marty Haugen, Timothy Dudley-Smith, Shirley Erena-Murray, Keith Getty, Martin Leckebusch and many more. Designed to help churches broaden their repertoire substantially without the cost of replacing standard hymn books. Many standard hymn books in use today may seem old-fashioned, even those recently published. Keeping up to date is tricky since many new compositions may enjoy a brief spell of popularity, only to quickly drop out of use altogether! Here, an experienced team of UK church musicians and liturgists, representing a wide variety of tastes, has selected the very best of recently written hymns, songs and short chant compositions. Many of these selections have proven staying power and are widely used in both traditional and informal styles of worship, but often will not be found in other hymn books.







Hymns and Songs for the Sunday School (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Hymns and Songs for the Sunday School Upon the Sunday school superintendent depends in large measure the useful ness of the book. He should not limit himself to certain tunes or to certain familiar sections. Each hymn has been inserted for a special purpose, and every hymn is meant to be sung. In the Advent season the children should be taught the Advent hymns, and so on through the Church Year. In many cases it will be possible for the superintendent to impart interesting information about the history of a hymn. Schools should be assembled occasionally for practice. A musical drill, following the Sunday. School lesson, is not contrary to the spirit of the Sunday school.

The Faith of a Quaker (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Faith of a Quaker There arise also the insistent questions which beset all mystics, and which in Quakerism demanded a corporate, instead of an individual, answer.
