Excerpt from Singers and Songs of the Church: Being the Biographical Sketches of the Hymn-Writers in All the Principal Collections, With Notes on Their Psalms and HymnsAn English hymn should be plain in diction, chastened in imagery, fervent in sentiment, humble in its approach to God. Its lines should be cunningly wrought, so that they may easily find their way to the ear of the simplest, and stay unbidden in his memory. It should be metrically faultless so departing at times from perfect uniformity, as to render reason for the departure, and give a charm to its usual strictness.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
