Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church and Sunday School Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Sacred Songs, Appropriate for Church Services, Sunday Schools and General Devotional Exercises The service of song claims a very important place in all our devotional exercises. The Lord has in all ages encouraged His people to rejoice and sing praises to His holy name. In singing the soul gives expression of its devotion to God, and makes known its deep struggles and great needs. The service of song also leads to spiritual develop ment and unity among the believers. Among the pleasures and joys of heaven will be the glorious song service of the redeemed: And they sang a new song - saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wis dom and strength and honor and glory and blessing. In order to be prepared to join in the songs of the redeemed, our hearts and souls need to be set in tune by the hand that sets in tune every vocal and spiritual chord in all the universe. This is effected by following the divine instruction to teach and admonish one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in our hearts unto the Lord. In compiling the Church and Sunday School Hymnal, the committees have endeavored to select and adopt only such hymns as tend to promote true devotion and a deeper work of grace in the hearts Of all who engage in the service of song. The hymns and songs selected cover a wide range of subject matter suitable for all occasions in religious worship, both in the church and home. All the best Old hymns and tunes sung by our sainted fathers and mothers, and which have left their sacred memories and influence upon the present generation, have been retained; many newer hymns of unquestionable worth secured at considerable cost, also a number of valuable new hymns written especially for this work, constitute a collection of hymns and tunes peculiarly adapted to the needs of the various lines of church work. Great care has been taken in selecting tunes to express the sentiment of the words, and such as are best suited to congregational singing. Care has also been exercised in classifying the hymns under heads appropriate for the various occasions of worship, and any class can be readily found by referring to the topical index.
