Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Congregational Psalmist: A Companion to All the New Hymn-Books; Providing Tunes, Chorales, and Chants, for the Metrical Hymns and Passages of Scripture Contained in Those Books; First Section, Tunes and Chorales The revolt of hymn writers from the cramped and meagre Iambic forms, to which in England we have chiefly been restricted, is in every way a great gain to Church Song. Trochaic and other metres give variety and richness to hymns, which not only gratify the taste, and fill the imagination, but like all forms of beauty directly minister to feeling. Just now, perhaps, this diversity is in danger of becoming excessive and eccentric; but it is only a passing phase, a not unnatural reaction from stiff traditional forms. Nothing that is merely odd endures. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
