Book Of Praise For The Sunday School With Hymns And Tunes Appropriate For The Prayer Meeting And The Home Circle PDF Download

Excerpt from Book of Praise for the Sunday School: With Hymns and Tunes Appropriate for the Prayer Meeting and the Home Circle The book OF praise like its predecessor Christian Songs is a compilation of old and new hymns and tunes. It is mainly the result of a judgement formed during an active superintendence of large city schools in which singing has been a leading feature. Compositions which have been tested by time and proved to be of substantial merit have been inserted; and new music and new hymns have been selected from recent publications, including Brightest and Best. Simplicity has neither been aimed at nor avoided. We have not worked on the belief that only the highest class of music and the standard hymns (as they are called) should be used in our schools, nor yet have we failed to introduce such compositions freely. We have endeavored to elevate the taste, and yet not destroy the fervor of worship.
