PREFACE

rHE lqOLISH HYMNAL is a collection of the best hymns in the
English language, and is offered as a humble comDanion fo the Book
of Common Prayer for use in the Church. If is nota party-book,
expressing this or that phase of negation or excess, but an attempt
fo combine in one volume the worthiest expressions of all that lies
within the Christian Creed, from those 'ancient Fathers' who
were the earliest hymn-writers down fo contempora T exponents of
modern aspirations and ideals.
We therefore offer the book to all broad-minded men, in the hope
that every one will find within these pages the hynms which he
rightly wants. At the same rime, since literary, musical, and
religious standards vary, a really inclusive collection nmst of
necessity be larger than the needs of each particular individual:
hymn books, indeed, afford special facilities in this respect, because
thoso who use them can select according fo their requirements.
Such a method of selection we have omelves suggested in the
lIusical Edition by a List of simple hymns, which may satisfy
the ordinary needs of many parishes ; while we have also arranged
a Table of hymns for ail the Sundays and Holy-days of the year,
which covera the whole ground. Thus we bave endeavoured to
produce a book that shall suit the needs of learned and simple alike,
and shall af the same rime exhibit the characteristic virtue of
hymnody,- ifs vitness, namely, to the fact that in the worship
of God Chrlstians are drawn the closer together as they are drawn
nmre c]ose]y fo the one Lord. In Christian song Chumhes bave
forgotten their quarrels and men bave lost their limitations, because
they bave reached the higher ground where the soul is content fo
aflïrm and fo adore. Tho hynms of Christendom show more clearly
than anything else that there is even now such a thing as the unity
of the Spirit.
Little explanation is needed of the princlples which governed the
selectlon and arrangement of the hymns. The new work, inserted

in every case te fill an acknowledged gap or te introduce a tune
of special excellence, nmst stand or fMI on ifs merits. One feature,
however, requires a word of comment. Hymns are printed, where-
ever possible, as their authors wrote them. Te many it will be
a surprise te find that the ascription of a hymn te this or that
author, when if was given at ail in hymnals of the last centmT,
was very often misleading. The public new has the _.pportunity
of comparing many originals with their altered versions; and few.
we venture te predict, xvill deny that they had been alered for
the worse. Occasionally, indeed, the music require the removal
of an extra vord if a hymn is te be used af ail, as for instance
iii Neale's hymn, No. 137 The Day of Resurrection), and in Milton's,
No. 582 (Let us, with a gladsome mind) ; but although these hymns
are lnarked as altered, none of their characteristic epithets have been
clmnged. Sometimes a]terations are justified for other reasons ; and
seine translations are the work of several hands. But apart, front
sueh exceptional cases, the efforts, 8o oftell ruade in the past te
improve the work of competent authors, have had the inevitable
result. The freshness and strength of the originals lmve been
rep]aced by stock phrases and commonplace sentiments ; and injul T
bas been done te the quality of out pub]i worship as well a, te
the memory of great hymn-writers,
A ]Iynm Book that is offered as a companion te the Book of
Common l»l'ayer must provide adequately net only for Sundays
but al.o for Ml those other Holy-days which in the Pl'ayer Book
are ol'dered te be observed preeisely in the saine way as undays.
The Office Hymns for the Saints' Days ' te be observed ' are therefore
given, as wel] as many suitable modern hylnns : te these have been
added the hynms for the Miner aints' Days of the Anglican
Çalendar (since if is a conliloll practice te sing a hymn as a nlemorial
of such days), although we recognize the fact that as there is no
Office for such days in the Prayer Book they [:an bave no Office
Hymn in the strict sense of the word.
The Hymns marked 'Office l=Iymn' are translations frein those
appointed in the ancient choirervices of the English Church. In
suggesting these as specially suitable, by placing them out of the
iv

PREFACE

alphabetical order under a special heading, we have followed the
example of the Reformers, who went fo the samo source for out
present Offices of Morning and Evening Prayer. Very many of
these hymns are already well known, thanks fo the good work
of former hymnals; but thero remained many Sundays and other
days for which the proper hymns were not provided. There is
indeed no need for all tho hymns of all the ancient services, such
as the hymns for both Martins and Lauds on every occasion; but
there is a legitimate demand for all those hymns which belong
fo the services of Moaing and Evening Prayer, according fo the
Prayer Book Calendar. The need has long been fer of such a
complete sot of these ancient hymns, which in their Scriptural
simplicity and sober digmity represent the deep Christian experienco
of more than a thousand years. This need we bave now supplied,
endeavotlring where new translations ,vere required fo convey as
faithfully as possible the spirit of the originals, so that in these
hymns also the authors should speak for themselves.
Thus we have ruade complete provision for the liturgical require-
menLs of Churehmen, xvhile we bave ai ttle saine rime added rnany
modern hymns of the tiret tank which have hot hitherto been ai
their disposai. In so doing we have attempted fo redress those
defects in popular hymnody whieh are deeply felt by thoughtftd
men ; for the best hymns of Christendom are as free as the Bible
from the self-centred sentimentaiism, the weakness and unreality
which mark inferior productions. The great hymns, indeed, of all
ages abound in the conviction that duty lies ai the heart of the
Christian life--a double duty fo God and fo our neighbour; and
mch hymns, like the Prayer Book, axe for all sorts and conditions
of men.

EXPLANATORY OTES
The book is divided into twelve parts, and the hymns are arranged
alphabeticaIly in each part or section, so that they may be readily
ïound. In Parts I to III, th Offic ymns for each occasion are
placed first, and after them the other hymns follow in aiphabetical
order. Part X is divided into two sections: the first consis of

hymns and prayers arranged so that processions may be definite
acts of prayer and worslfip, after the manner of the l'rayer Book
Litany and the older processions upon which it is based; the
second contains other hynns that are suitable for tLe in processions.
The ]Ietrical Litanies in Part XI aie similarly arranged, so that
they form conplete acts of prayer. Part XII consists of liturgical
prose pieces, which are arranged in their natural order.
The heading 'OFFICE H¥N' shows that the original vas the
Office Hymn for the corresponding servico in the 8alisbul T service-
i»ooks, except in the case of To. 175, which is taken from those
of York. The letters ' E.' and '/.' stand for Evensong and ]Iattins,
the first Evensong being that on the day belote the festival. Whën
these letters occur twice for the saine festival or season (' E.' and
'I.,' '.' azld 'E.'}, the first 'E.' denotes the hynn for the first
Evensong, and the second 'E.' the Evensong on the day itself;
while the first 'I." shows that the hymn anciently |sêlonged fo
Iattins only, and the second 'I.' stands over the hynm that
l»elonged fo Lauds: as out present ]Iattins occupies the l»lace of
the older ]Itttins and Lauds, either hynm is equally suitable.
The nalnes and dates of ail authors are given, in so far as they
are known. Illitials only are provided in the case of living trans.
lators, whose names are given in the Index of akuthors, and in
the case of a few living authors. The lettel 'Tr.' are prêfixed
fo tl,e names of ail translators. The nunber of the Psalm
is given in the case of paraphrases, though it must be rênembered
that seine paral)h,'ases are extrenely free, vhile others are based
upon one or two verses only of a Psalm.
Where the author's or translato»'s nane has no mark, the hyn, n
is unaltered or has been revised by the author himself. The sign
'' shosvs that an alteration has been ruade in one line only; the
sign ' ** ' denotes alterations in two or three lines. To hymns that
are the work of more than one writer a second naine is given, or
the Vol'ds 'and other' are added. Translations which have no one
special source are narked * Tf. cento." Alterations in spelling are
hot marked, nor is any note ruade of the omission of verses, nor
do the statements as fo authorship refer fo the doxologies.

THE MUSIC

THE music of this hymnal is divided into tsvo main sections;
the plainsong melodies and the comparatively modern music. The
modern music only is dealt with here. The plainsong is discussed
separately.
THE CHOICE OF MATERIAL.
The music is innded fo be essentially congregational in character,
and this end bas been kept in view both in the choice of tunes and in
the manner of setting them out. Fine melody rther thn the
exploitation of a tined choir bas been the criteon of lection:
the pitch of ech tune h }en kept ]ow is consistent with
the chrcter of the me]ody.
Vhere there is congregationl singing if is hnpornt that
eli should be employed, or at least tho vhich ve sto the
st of rime : thefol the ' scially compod tune 'that ne
of many a hymnal--h been avoided as far possible. There e
alady many hundroes of fine tun in existence, so many ind
tht it is impossible fo include more than a small part o them in
any one collection.
The k of providing congregations with fmili tunes is dicult :
for. unfmunaly, many of the tunes of the prent day vhich bave
bome familir and, pbbly merey from association, popular witl
congregations are fluite unsuitable fo their purpose. ore often
than hot they are itively harmful fo those vho sing and hear
them. The committee were therefore plced in the hard position of
having fo decide vhether fley should rk momenta unpopuhty
by disrding certa tunes, or vhether they should sacfioe
eater ultimate good for the ler and more immedia advange.
The problem, however, solved itlf in a happy and unforeseen
manner because the inseion of severa of the tun in queson
w hot allowed by the owne of the copyright. Thus the com-
mittee, whfle regretting hat they are net able for a fev yrs te

PREFACE

include such beautiful tunes as Dykes' 'Dominus regit me' or
Stainer's ' In Memoriam ", yet feel that nothing but gain can result
from the exclusion of certain other tunes, which are worthy neither
of the congregations who sing them, the occasions on which they
are sung, nor the composers vho wrote them.
The committee believe that many clergymen and organists are
now realizing their responsibility in this marrer, and will welcome
a tune-book in which enervating tunes are reduced to a minimum.
The usual argument in favour of bad music is that the fine tunes
are doubtless 'musically correct ', but that the people want 'some-
thing simple'. Now the expression 'musically oerrect' bas no
meaning; the only 'correct' music is that which is beautiful and
noble. As for simplicity, what could be simpler than 'St. Arme' or
'The Old Htmdredth ', and what could be finer ?
If is indeed a moral rather than a musical issue. No doubt it
requires a certain effort to tune oneself fo the moral atmosphere
implied by a fille melody; and it is far casier fo dwell in the
miasma of the languishing and sentimental hynm tunes which so
often disfigure our services. Such poverty of heart may hot be
uncommon, but af least if should hot be encouraged by those who
direct the services of the Church ; if ought no longer fo be truc any-
where that the most exalted moments of a church-goer's week are
associated with music that would hot ho tolerated in any place of
secular entertainment.
There are, however, many who recognize this bad stalm of things,
but are timid about removing old favourites. Those who bave
this fear should remember that most of our ' o]d favourites' are
of very recent growth, dating af the earliest from the year 1861--
a very short life for a hymn tune ; also that if does uot take more
than a couple of years to make a tune which congregations like into
an 'old favourite ', and furthermore that itis not by any means
necessarily bad music which is popular. The average congrégation
likes fine melody when if can get if, but if is apt fo be undiscrimi-
nating, and will often take to bad melody when good is hOt fooEh-
coming. Is it hot worth while makirig a vigorou effort to<lay

for the sake of establishing a good tradition ? Espeeially should
this be the case with children's hyrnns. Children at all eents bave
no old association with any particular tune, and incalculable good
or harrn rnay be done by the music ,vhich they sing in their rnost
impressionable years.
An atternl)t bas been rnade fo set a rninimurn standa,-d in the
rnusic selected for this ,york. This does hot rnean that austerity
has been unduly sought, or that diflicult and colourless music bas
been preferred fo that which is vigorous and bright. A tune bas
no more right fo be dull than fo be dernoralizing. Indeed, anxiety
fo ensure the co.operation of the congregation rnay bave caused
the bounary fo be occasionally overstepped, so that a few tunes
have been retained which ought to bave been rejected, but on this
borderland individual tstes rnust necessarily differ, and the con,-
rnittee bave done their best fo select the rno.t suitable tune for
each hyrnn. To rnake the possibilities of selectiol, vider, numerous
cross-referênces have been given, xvhich should be freely used, and
a short appendix is added of alternative tunes fo certain hymns
for the use of those who do hot agree with the choice of the musical
êditor.
THE ANNER OF PERFORMANCE.
{««) Pit¢l,.--The pitch of ail the tunes bas been fixed as low as
possible for the sake of rnixed congregations. Except in the case
o[ tunes with an extended compass the highest note is hot al»ove D
or E. Some choirrnasters rnay obect to this on the ground that
if places the hyrnns in the worst part of the boy-chorister's voice,
and that it takes the basses and altos rather low. The obvious
answer is that hymns are essentially for the congregation; the
choir bave their opportunity elsewherè, but in the hyrnn they rnust
give way fo the congregation, and if is a great mistake fo suppose
that the result will be inartistic. A large body of voices singing
together rnakes a distinctly artistic effect, though that of each
individual voice rnight be the opposite. And it rnay be added that
a desire fo parade a trained choir often accornpanies a debased
musical faste.

PREFACE

Where a tune occurs twice in the book itis usually given in two
different keys, and in one or two cases a higher version of certain
well-known tunes is given in the appendix. If this is net suffi-
cient if is always possible te transi)ose the tunes te a higher key.
Where a tune la only given once if is obvious why if should be
printed in a lower key. Such a key is particularly suitable fx"
village churches where the organist is rarvly able te transpose. On
the other hand, in churches where if is desired te give the first
consideration te a trained choir, the organist will certainly be
competent te trsnspose af sight into the key desired.

(b) Uaion singiag.--Every hymn is se arranged that if can be
sung in uRison sccompanied by the organ. Certain verses are
vaarked as being specially suitable for unison singing, and it is
suggested that the first verse of most hymns should be sung in
unison as well as all the doxologies. In any case the congregation
must ahcays sing the melody, and the melody only.
In these circumstances it has been thought advissble occasionally
te introduce harmonizations (especially those of J. S. Bach) rathex"
more elaborate than usual. These will no doubt add greatly te the
},eauty and the popularity of the tunes. If sovae choirs find them
difficult the tunes can be sung in unison accovapanied by the organ ;
the organist wi]l find no difficulty in playing them, ff they are taken
at the proper speed. If is a great vaistake te suppose that untrained
musicians are insensible te fine harmony. They may net e able te
analyse the effect, but there can be no doubt that a well-ha'monized
tune makes a more powerful appeal than one in which the harmonies
are bad or unsuitable. Cholrs would be much bettel" occupied in
learning these beautifd settings of Bach ('hich are net hard if
practised a#]ittle) than in rehearsing vulgar anthems by indifferent
composera.

(c) Choir andpele.--There are churches in which the experiment
has been successfully tried of making choir and people sing sone
hymns antiphonally. By this means the people a given a distinct
ststus in tho services, and are encouraged te take an intelligent

interest in the music they sing, while the eternal war between choir
and congl'egation, each considering the other an unnecessary appendage
{o the services of the church, is done away with.
The congregation might be encouraged fo sing and appreciate the
finer melodies if a system of monthly congregational practices were
held, ai which the less known tunes could be marie familiar in some
such way as the following :--The first two verses might be sung by
the choir alone, or some body of singers with good voices who
ahady knew the melody: ai the third verse the congregation would
be invited fo join in, and would finally sing a verse unaided by the
trained singers. A h»n recital, af vhich some of {he less familim.
hymns might be sung by the choir, would also be a .vleasant variety
from the Sttnday evening organ recital.

(d) Steed.--The present custom in English churches is fo sing
hymns much too fast. If is distressing fo hear 'Nun Danket' or
'St. Arme' raced through af about twlce the proper speed, lIetro.
home marks are added fo each hymn, which, the editor believes,
indicate the proper speed in a fairly large building with a iongrega.
tion of average size. The speed indications should hot be judged at
the pianoforte.
Another painful experlence is fo hear an organlst trying fo play
through a C.M. or L.M. tune in absolutely strict rime, regmlless
of the slight pauses which the congregation, with uncnscious
artistic insight, are inclined fo make af the end of evea T line.
Pauses bave been marked wherever they should be ruade, and
a sign » bas also been extensively used fo designate a very short
break, less than the ordinary pause (). Sometimes and are
used together, siguifying a pause as well as a complete break in the
sound.
Some of the hymns are marked fo be sung 'in free rhythm'.
This direction is especially applicable to umneasured tunes, but all
hymn tunes should be sung more or less freely ; at all events a stiff
clock-work rendering should be avoided. If this is borne in mind,
and the hymns are hot sung too fast, the bad effect will be largely

PREFACE
avoided of those faise accents which inevitably occur when seveoEl
verses of a hyRn are sung to the saine tune.

(e) Ex]r«ssio.--Expression marks bave been altogether omitted,
as it is considered that subtlêties of expression are entirely unsuitable
for congregational singing. The organist can use his own judgement
as to the general dynaRics of each verse, and convey his idea fo the
congregation by his registering. Ail sudden 'pianos' or small
' creseendos' and ' diRinuendos' should be avoidêd as destroying the
broad and massive effect whieh congregationai singing should eonvey.

(f) _Notatio.--Both minims and crotchets bave been employed,
the forRer for the slower and more so|emn hyRns and the latter
for those of a hrighter nature. The point of division has beêa fixed
af 5I. 85 for hynms in duple tire, and 100 in triple tire in the more
ordinary hymns, but special rules bave been fraRed fo govera special
case.

SOURCE8 OF 'HE MELODIES.
INo particular countT, perlod, or school bas bêên exclusivêly
drawn upon to supply material, but an atteRpt bas been ruade fo
include the best specimens of every style. In sêttling thê forR
which ech melody shall take, no rulês have beên Rade, but each
case has been decided on ifs mêrits. The objêct has beén fo print
the finest version of evet T tune, hot necessarily the êarliêst. Thus
the later forms of 'Wachet Auf', 'Nun Dankêt', and 'London
çew ', fo glve a few examples, hsve beên preferred fo thê originals.
But thê old mêthod of mutilating tunes to suit new rustres has bêên
as far as possible avoided--only in one or two cases have a coRposer's
rhythms beên vêry slightly adapted, and then for SORS very spêcial
purpose. In cases where such a slight adaptation from a composêr's
rhythm is ruade the genêral outline is nevêr destroyed, so that the
original can af any rime be restored without disturbing a con-
gregation. But adaptations alrêady ruade have bên occasionally
retained when the rêsult is fine and popular tune: thus 'Dix ',
'Narenza ', and 'lavenshaw' have hot been discarded, though the

PREFACE

tact of their adaptation is duly acknowledged. On the other hand
the committeo are glad te be able te restoro the true motres of such
tunes as ' Innsbruck , ' XVeimar ', or 'Les commandemens , which
have been disfigured into dullne.ss in se many hymnals.
The original rhythms of many of the old psalter tunes bave
aise been restored, especially the long initial on the first syllable,
,vhich gives such a broad and dignified effect te these tune.s.
Attempts te adapt them te the procrustean bed of the nineteenth
century hymn tune have merely taken away their character and
ruade them appear dull. For the same reason no attempt bas
been ruade te square the irregular times of some tunes. These
irregularities are always easy te sing by ear--and this is the way
in which a hymn melody should be learnt--so that choirmasters
should net let the fear of what may appear te be irregtùar deter
them fm using many splendid and essentially congregational
melodies.

PREFACE

THE PLAINSONG MELODIES

THE plainsong melodies contained in this book have, as far as
possible, been taken frein English sources, as seemed only natural
and right in the case of an ' English Hymnal '. Those for the Oflïce
Hymns are, vithout exception, taken frein the MS. versions of the
Sarum Antiphoner. Those in Part X are taken frein the Sarum
_Processionalc, as is .Mso the music of 1No. 737. The Easter Gradual and
Alleluya, 738, which takes the place of an Office Hymn af Evensong
on Easter Day and the rive following evenings, is taken frein the
Sarum Antiphoner: but inasmuch as the Versicles in the ancient
1,ooks changed each day, and if was impossible te find space for
them all, if vas thought best te give those frein the Gadual and
Alleluya of Easter Day frein the Sature Graduale, the words of
which obviously formed the first of the vhole series throughout
the week. Of other plainsong melodies contained in the book, 10,
22, and 130 are taken frein the Sarum Graduale, 155 and 351 from
the Gradu'al edited by the Benedictines of Solesmes and printed
af Tournay in 1883, and 317 frein the Ghent Graduale. Tho rest
172, 253, 735, 736, 739, 7401 are taken frein various more or less
ancient sommes, mostly French.
The accompaniments te tho plainsong bave been given .throughout
in ' white notes', each note in the melody being represented in the
treble by a minim, either in single notes, or joined into groups by
a quaver bind, or tied by a slur, se as te correspond, note by note,
and group by group, with the neumatic notation contained in the
plainsong stave above. Although, frein ifs association with the
minim in modern music, this manner of notation has the disadvantage
of suggesting a slower and heavier mode of execution than that
vhich is proper te plainsong, it seemed better te adhere te a vell
known convention than te attempt te reproduce the free and rapid
rh)oEhm of the mediaeval melodies by new conventions of erotchets
and qu.vers, or of semiquavers, vhich either run the risk of
confusion betveen their relative values in modern music, or else

PREFACE

involvo a vory complicated and bewildering system of slurring. If
it I)e romembered that, while the notes in the plainsovg slave itself
take their rhythm and form from the words fo which they are sung,
the accompaniment takes ifs rime and rhythm solelyfix,n the çlainsong
(and hot vice versa), and if if be further remembered that every note
in plainsong is {in itself) equal and short, and that a single note, or
a simple gronp of two or three notes, correspond as nearly as possible
in execution to the letters, one, two, or three, of a syllablo in language
well read or spoken, the desired effect will be produced a. The lower
parts of the accompaniment, while noted in mitims, semibreves,
and breves in relation to the melody which they accornpany, must
of course take their rime from the freo rhythm of the latter. In
order to emplaasize tlae complete dependence for ifs rime and rhythm
upon tho plainsong raelody, no attempt bas been ruade in the
accompaniraont fo indicate, by means of pauses or other marks of
expression, any details witla regard to execution beyond those which
already find their place in tho plainsong slave. Tho correct phrasing
of plainsong can never be arrived af by means of analogies from
measured music sot forth in modern notztion ; if is a separate art
in itself, and like other arts has ifs own methods which require
and deserve careful stndy and instruction, and cannot ho otherwise
acquired.

The plainsong notation employed is similar to that which w.s
revi,ed by tlae Benedictines af Solesmes about a «lustrer of a century

Guidonis Aretini 2fficrolo9l«S, cap. xv 'Igitur quemadmodum in metris sunt

ago, and corresponds vith that in use in the thirteenth and fourteenth
centuries. No attempt has been ruade to restore the Quilisma in
places where it may or rnay hot have occurtd in earlier versions
of the hymn rnelodies than those given in the Sarum choroliturgical
[SS. If was also clearly undesirable fo use liquescent notes in the
case of hynm melodies which are meant tobe used for several verses
in which they might or might hot accord with the text: and this
being so, it seemed best also to omit them entirely in the melodies
of the prose portions of the book. The structure ad pronunciation of
English words differ so much frorn those of the Latin language, that if
seems an open question, which is best decided by each choirmaster,
fo what extent the rules for gliding over the last letter of diphthongs
and double consonants in Latin are applicable fo the English language.
Even in the cae of Latin, Guido of Arezzo tells us that, if the
licluescent note be sung like an ordinary full note, not only no
harrn will be donc, but that, on the contrary, the effect is often ail
the betterl! The liquescent note has, therefore, as a general rule
been turned into a full note xvherever it was an essential part of
the melody, while if has been omitted altoEether in cases xvhere
if was insetoEed in the ][SS. merely as a odamcto.
Vith regard fo the use of bars sud dou}»le bars, rite bar ahvays
t»presents a pause or hall close, corresponding fo the ends of tbe
liues of hymns, or fo the use of the colol it the Psalter of the Book
t,f Common Prayer. The double }ar indieates either a full close,
or else a change of voices (e. g. from two clerks to the chorus).
the latter case care must be taken hot fo make pauses, as if for
a full close, in cases where (e. g. page 890) neither the words nor
the course of the melody require it.
The half bar has been employed, as in the Solesmes and all other
modern editions of plainseng music, for minor pauses in the melody.
In the case of melodies set fo prose texts if denotes a breath mark ;
},ut this is not necessarily the case when if is employed in nelodies
which are set fo metrical words. In this case if denotes the occur-

iïcotogus, cap. xv ' Si autem eam [vocem] vis plenius proferre non iique-
faciens, nihil nocet, saepe autem magia placet ".

PREFACE
ronce o the «aesura in the line to which if is set, and is hot
necessarily a pause or a breathmark, but is -at[ter an indication
of the metrical structure o the line, and should be treated as such,
and no more. In the reciting of Latin Sapphics or Elegiacs a good
l'cadet wi]l always make the presence of the caesura fe]t, and the
beauty of the rhythm depends fo a great extent upon the relative
distribution of accent and quantity in its immediate neighbourhood ;
but it does not necessarily imply a break in the line, or any such
pause as would fit]y be represented by a comma or a semicolon.
Precise]y the came thing is truc with regard te the good «inging
of p]ainsong melodies set fo t[tese inertes. They must hot be
treated as a schoolboy treats his nonsense verses, but they must
be fitted inte]ligent]y fo the text after the manner of good reading.
In connexion with this subject, a few words with regard fo two
particu]ar instances will hot be out of place: riz. Che first line
of No. 621 and the second line of No. 624. By comparing the
Sarum versio with other versions of the saine lines, it becomes
clear t[tat, af some period prior to the introduction of the stave,
the neumatic notation of these lines was modified fo secure their
right phrasing. Thus, in the first fine of No. 621, we bave a hexa-
meter with the double caesur( :--
Gl6ria, laus, I et honor tibi sit, [ l?ew Christe
The due emphasizing of the first caesura is secured by the double
notes on the syllable l«us, thus securing a natural pause, and
nothing more is he'e required: while the second caesura is suffi-
ciently marked by the conclusion of one musical phrase and the
commencement of another. In the second line of No. 624 we bave
a pentameter in which the caesura does hot correspond with the
grammatical l)unctuation of the line :-
Qua Deus ifdrnum I vicit, et astra tenet.
In good reading, the caesura will be marked, hot by an abrupt
break after the syllable nu»t, but by an extra stress and p'olongation
of the previous accented syllable of the word : while a slight break
after vicit, more of the nature of a dotted note than of a pause,

PREFACE

villbe quite suflicient fo mark the fact that this word belongs to
what goes before if, without destroying the rhythm of the line.
And this is exactly what the "Redactor" of the Sarum form of
this line provided for when he modified the original aotes :

, î - î
Qua De - us i1« - fer - 7mn ri - oit, et as - ba te - net.
by adding notes fo the earlier syllables of the word ioEerum.

Thêse few words of explanation, if is hoped, will help both fo
illustrate vhat bas been said above as fo the nature of tle caesura, and
a]so fo explain why the saine featurês ha-,-e been as neady as possible
reproduced in the English translations of these lines. If seemed
ahsurd fo retain the tæculiarities of the Sarum version of the me|ody
un]ess ono reproduced in the Englîsh translation those featums of
the original Latin text fo which these peculiarîties are due.
In conclusion, I wish to expeess my obligations to ]Ir. W. Phillips,
Ius. Doc. (Oxon.), organist of St. Barnabas, Pimlico, for having
harmonized nearly balf of the plainong melodies for which I was
responsible, and also to Sir Valter Parratt for his constant help and
advice throughout the whole undertak-îng.

If shook the starry frame ;
Squadrons of spirits etood and gazed,
Then down in trools they came.
Glad shepherds tan to view this sight ;
A choir of Angels sings,
And eastern sages with delight
Adore this King of kings.
3oin then. all hearts tht are not stone,
And all out voices prove,
To celebrate this holy One
The God of peace and love.

HRISTIANS, avake, salure thc hapl,y morn,
Vhereon the Saviour of the vorld was born ;
lise to adore the mystery of love,
Whieh hsts of Angels ehanted from a5ovc ;
WRh them the joyful tidings first begun
Of God incarnate and the Virgin's Son :
Thcn fo the watchful shepherds if was told,
SVho heaçd the angelic horald's voice, 'Bchold,
I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth
To you and 211 the nations upon earth ;
This day hath Goal fulfilled his promised word,
This day is born a Sa,iour Christ the Lord."

llc spake; and straightway the celestiM choir
In hymns ofjoy, unknown belote, con.pire.
The praises of redeeming love they sang,
And heaven's whole orb with Alleluyas rang :
G' highest glory was their anthem still,
Peace upon earth, and mutuai gdwill.
To Bethlehem straight the enlightened hephe
To sec the wonder God had vrought for man,
And found, witi Jooeph and the blesêd Iaid,
IIer Son, the viour, in a manger laid;
Amazed the vondims sto they proclaim
The tiret apostles of his infant faine.
* Like Mary let us ponder in out mind
O's wondrous love in saving lost mankind ;
Traoe we the Babe, who bath retriev out loss#
Film his poor manger fo his bitter cro ;
Then may we ho, agelic thrones among,
'Eo sivg, cdmedæ a glad 'iphal song.

For man's atonement, while he nothing heedeth,

Thy mortal sorrow, and thy life's oblation ;

Fasting with unceasing prayer,
Glad with thee to surfer pain ?

Elect on whose triumphal breast

The weight of this world's ransom hung:
The price of humankind fo pay,

2 When Christ I unconquer'd Lion, first
The dragon's chains by rising burst :
And while with living voice he cries»
The dead of other ages fise.
3 Engorged in former years, their prey
Must death and hell restore to-day:
And many a captive sonl, set free,
With Jesus leaves captivity.
4 Right gloriously he triumphs now,
Worthy to whom should ail things bow;
And joining heaven and earth sgaiu,
Links in one commonweal the twain.
5 And we, as these his deeds we sing,
His suppliant soldiers, pray our King,
That in his palace bright and vast,
Ve may keep watch and wnrd st lnst.
6. Long as unending ages run,
To God the Father, laud be done :
To God the Son, our equal praise,
And Ood the Holy Ghost, we raise.

In wisdom ruade them four ;

Their healing message spread,

The chosen Four combine,

Fulfils in every line;

From out the amber flame
In f«,rm of visage diverse
Four living ereatures came.

The golden staves uplifting
The ark of God on high ;
And these the fourf,,Id river

A house to stand unshaken
By floods or winds or tains.

]-OY and trimnph everlasting
l Haththe heavenly Chmch on high;
For that pure immortal gLadness
Ail out feat-days mourn and aigh ;
Yet in death's dark desert
Doth the mother aid ber child,
Guards celestial thence attend us,
Stand in combat to defend us.
Itere the world's lerpetual warfare
Itolds from heaven the soul al)ait;
Legioned foes in shadowy terror
Vex the Sabbath of the heart.
O how happy that estate
%Vhe,'e drlight doth mot abate;
For that home the spirit yearneth,
'lmL+ none langu[sheth nor mourneth.
U,/s0n.
There the body bath no torment.
There the mind is free from care,
There is every voice rejoicing,
Every heart i loving there.

Angels in that eity dwell ;
Them their King delighteth well :
Still they joy and veary never
More and more desiring ever.
4*There the seers and fathe] holy,
There the prophets glorified,
AI1 their doubts and darkness ended,
In the Light of light abide.
There the Saints, whose memories old
Ve in faithful hymns uphold,
Have forgot their bitter story
In the joy of $e,u'a gIory.
Uaison.
.*There from lowliness exalted
Dxvelleth Mary, Queen of graee,
Ever with ber presence pleading
'Gainst the sin of Adam's race.
To that glory of the blest,
By their prayers and faith confest,
Us, us too, v¢hen death bath freed us»
Christ of his good merey lead us.

From each idol that would keep us

Guards hot the heart from sin ;
The Church that safest seems withou
May harbour foes within.

2 Thus in the small and ehosen hand,
Beloved above the rest,
One fell from his apostle»hip»
A trator-soul unblest

8 But hot the great designs of Goal
Man's sins shall overthrow;
Another witness to the truth
Forth fo the lands shaR go.

1 The soul that sinneth, it shall die;
Thy purpose shall not rail ;
The word of grace no less shall sound,
The truth no less prevail.

5. Righteous, 0 Lord. are all thy ways;
Long as the worlds endure,
From foes without and foes within
Thy Chureh shall stand secure.

IHE winter's sleep was long and deep,
But earth is awakened and gay;
For the life ne'er dies that from God doth rise
And the green cornes after the grey.
2 So God doth bring the world fo spring;
And on this holy day
Doll the Church proclaim her Apostles' faine,
To svelcome the first of ]Hay.
8 Two Saints of God went by the road
That leadeth on to light ;
And they gave up all at their Master's call,
To work in their Mauter's sight.
4 Vould Philip's mind the Father find?
Lo, he hath round the Way;
For to know the Son is fo know the One
Vhom the earth and the heavens obey.
5 And, Jams, 'twas thine by grace divine
To preach the Christian lire,
Where our faith is shown i,y out works alone,
And love overcometh attife.
6. Lord, grant that we may brethren
As Christia.s lire in deed
For it is but so we can learn to know
Th truth that to thee doth lead.

And works his sovereign will.

Round thy altars, 0 most High;
Happier souls that find a rest
In a heavenly Father's breast ;

No repose on earth around,
They can to their ark repair,
And enjoy it ever there.
Happy souls, their praises flow
Even in this raie of woe;

On theygo from strength to strength,
Till they reach thy throne at length,
At thy feet adoring fall,

The falling of a test,

When none but God is near.

In word, and deed, and mind,
WhUe with the Father and the Son
Sweet fellowship they find.

4 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice,
Returning from his ways,
While Angels in their songs rejoice,
And cry ' Behold, he prays!'

His watchword st the gares of death :
He enteffi heaven with prayer.

HERE is a hlessèd home
Beyond this land of woe,

Where trials never corne,
Nor tenrB of Borrow flow;
Where faith is lost in sigl,t,
And Iatient hoIe is crowned,
And everlasting light
Ifs giory thr0ws around.

2 Ther i a iand ef peaee,
Good Angels know it ,vell,
Glad songs that never cease
Within its portais svel| ;
Around its glorious throne
Ten thousand Saints adore
Christ, vith the Father One
And Spirit, evermo.

30 joy ail joy. beyond,
To see the Lamb vho died,
And caunt each sacred vound
In l,ands, and feet, and ide ;
To give to him the praie
Of every triumph won
And sing through endles days
The great things he bath done.
4. Look up, ye saints of God,
Nor fear fo tread belosv
The path your Saviour trod
Of daily toil and woe ;
Vait but a little while
In uncomplaining love,
His own most graeious stalle
Shall welcome you above.

H ERE is a book who ,-uns rn ay read,
Vhich heavenly truth irnparts,
And ail the |Ol'e its scholars need,
Pm'e eyes and Christian |,earts.
The works of God above, beluw,
Within us and around,
Are pages in that book, to show
How G«,d himself is found.
The glorious sky, embracing ail,
Is like the Maker's love, [small
Vherewith encompassed, gl-eat and
In peace and order more.
The moon above, the Church below,
A wondrous race they run ;
But ail their radiance, ail theirglow,
Each borrows of its sun.
The Saviour lends the light and heat
That crowns his holy bill ;
The Saints, like stars, around hisseat
Perform their courses still.
11 Two worlds are ours: 'ris only sin
Forbids us to descry
The mystic heaven and earth within,
Plain as the sea and sky.
12. Thou, who hast given me eyes fo see
And love this sight so fair,
Give me a heart to find out thee
And read thee everyxvl-.ere.

6 » The Sa i n t s above are starsin heaven--
What are the saints olm earth ?
Like trees they stand whom God bas
Our Eden's happy birth. [given,
7" Faith is their fixed unswerving root,
Hope their unfading flower,
Fait deeds of charity their fruit,
The glory of their bower.
8 The dew of heaven is like thy grace,
It steals in ailence dosvn ;
But where it lights, t he favoum-ed place
By richest fruits is known.
9*Ono narne, al»ove ail glorious names,
With its ten thousand tongues
The everlasting sea proc|aims,
Echoing angelic songs.

HERE is a land of pre delight,
Where Saints immortal reign;
Inflnite day exclude» the night,
And plcasures banish pain.

2 Thero everlasting spring abides,
And never-withering flowers ;
Death, hke a narrow -ea, divides
This keavenly land f])m ours.

3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
Stand dressed in living green ;
So to the Jews o|d Canaat stood,
While Jordan rolled between.

4 But timorous mortals start and shrink
To cros this narr,æw sea,
A.d linger »hiveri.g on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
50 could we make our doubts remoe,
These gloomy doubts that fise,
And see the Canaan that ve love
With unbeclouded eyes!
6. Could we but climb where Moses stood7
And view the landscape o'er,
lot Jod.n's stream, nor death's cold flood,
Should fright us from/he shore!

T H E R E'S a w id e n ess i n God'o me i-cy,
Llke the videness of the sea;
There's a kindness in his justice
Which is more than liberty.
Tl,ere is no place whereearth's Sol'rmvs
Are more felt than up in heaven ;
There s noplace whereearth'sfailings
1-lave such kindly judgement given.
There is grace enough for thousands
Of new worlds as great as this;
There is room for fresh creations
In that upper home of bliss.
7 "Tis not ali we owe to Jesus;
It is something more than ail;
Gl'eater good because of evil,
Larger mercy through the faii.
8. If our love were but more simple,
We should take him at his word ;
And our lires wouid be ail sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.

4 For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of man's mind ;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
5 But we make his love too narrow
By false limits of our own ;
And we lnagnify his strictness
With a zeal he will not own.
6 There is plentifui redemption
In the Blood that bas been shed,
Tlffie,'e is joy for ail the members
In the sorrows of the Head.

30ne in ai1 we seek or shun,
One--because our Lord is one;
One in home and one in love--
We below, and they above,
4 Those whom space on" earth divides,
Mountains, rivers, ocean-tides;
Have they with each other part?
Have they fellowship in heart?

5 Each to each may be unknown,
Wide apart their lots be thrown;
Differing tongues their lips rnay speak,
One be strong, and one be weak ;
6 Yet in Sacrament and prayer
Each vith other hath a share ;
Hath a share in tear and sigh,
"Watch, and fast and litany.
7 Sints departed eve "hu
Hold communion stil| with us;
Still with us, keyond the veil,
lraising, pleading without fail.
8. So with them out hearts we raise,
Share their work and join their praise,
Rendering worship, thaks» and love
To the Tdnity above.

Hear us, while we lift fo thee
Holy chant and psalm.

Light of lights ! with morning-shine
Lift on us thy Light Divine ;
And let charity benign
Breathe on us her balm.

Light of iights! when fails the even,
Let it sink on sin forgiven ;
Fold us in the peace of heaven ;
Shed a vesper calm.

Darkling here we worship thee ;
With the Saints hereafter we
Hope to bear the palm.
