The Concord Hymnal For Day School Sunday School And Home Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from A Book of Hymns and Tunes: For the Sunday-School, the Congregation, and the Home The Tunes are such as seemed, from their familiarity, or their easy melody, or their congregational character, best suited for the purpose intended. Most of the good congregational tunes will be found here; both because it is desirable that the children should early learn these tunes, that they may afterwards sing them in the congregation, and because the book is thereby rendered available for congregational use; for which also a considerable number of the Hymns are fitted. The association of Hymns with Tunes is so much a matter of personal taste or accident, that no arrangement can be made which will not disturb some associa tions. I have endeavored to unite them by something more than an arbitrary relation, so as to justify that permanent union which is desirable. The Hymns are followed by a selection of Psalms, (in Dr. Noyes's version, ) arranged for alternate reading. I intended to add a series of Scripture Lessons, selected from the various parts of the Bible; but have concluded to reserve them for a separate volume.
