Excerpt from The Music and Hymnody of the Methodist Hymnal To present a dictionary of hymnology, or even to collect critical notes upon all of the seven hundred hymns in the Methodist Hymnal, is not the purpose of this little book: for it would be impossible to do this adequately within the limits of space imposed upon our study; and, besides, the more detailed treatment of the hymns (though not of the tunes) has already been ably presented by other hymnologists of the Church. But as there has often been expressed the need of a brief introduction to the Hymnal, its history, its hymns and tunes, its theology, its musical and literary beauties, together with helpful suggestions to pastors and prayer-meeting leaders - in a word, a practical guide to the Hymnal - this has, therefore, been attempted by the author. Whatever imperfections may mar the work, it is the devout hope of the author that this study may be of some service to the Masters cause in stimulating a deeper interest in the meaning and use of the hymns and tunes. Hymn-stories are told herein, some of them drawn from the common reservoirs of hymnology, a few re cited in these pages for the first time, but for the purpose more of suggesting typical conditions under which hymns are written or sung or quoted, than of explaining particular hymns.

Excerpt from Hymnal of the Methodist Episcopal Church: With Tunes This book has a superiority over our previous works of this kind in its exact agreement with the Hymnal in the order and consecutive numbering of the hymns. The preservation of this identity has greatly increased the difficulty of adapting all the hymns to suitable tunes. To accomplish this properly, Without unduly increasing the size and expense of the book, was not an easy problem; yet it is believed that very few hymns will be found without their appropriate tunes on their own or on opposite pages. In the few instances where this has not been practicable, a familiar tune is suggested, with its page, at the head of the hymn.

Excerpt from Free Methodist Hymnal The Free Methodist Church is to be congratulated on being provided with such an excellent Hymnal as the Commission'to which the work of revising its Hymn Book and setting all the hymns to appropriate music was committed, herewith presents. Their labors in connection therewith have been arduous, and we now take much satisfaction in commending the fruit of their toil to the Church at large, and expressing \the hope that for many years to come it will prove an invaluable inspiration to spiritual worship among all our people. We also note with pleasure that this book has been adopted by our sister denomination, the Wesleyan Methodist Connection (church), as its oflicial Hymnal. The use of a common Hymnal hy_the two denominations will be a fitting testimony to the world that, while differing as to matters of lesser im portance, we are agreed in respect to' doctrine and worship as embodied in the hymns herewith presented.

Excerpt from Methodist Hymn and Tune Book A firm purpose has been maintained to make it one of practical use for special as well as for regular services.

Excerpt from The Methodist Hymn-Book and Its Associations Ever voiced Jehovah's prais'e'?
