Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Missioner´s Hymnal "Mission Hymns" are intended for congregations specially gathered together during a Mission, or in a Mission Chapel, rather than for habitual attendants at Church. Their object is not so much worship, as the arousing and expressing those religious feelings which it is the function of a Mission to quicken and develop. Sorrow for sin, and the desire for pardon and a new life, have to be kindled in the heart, before there can be attained that true repentance, and that firm determination to persevere in the way of holiness, without which the Mission will have failed in accomplishing its purpose. Fervent and hearty Hymn-singing is one of the most important means of thus stirring up the dull and sluggish hearts on which the Mission is intended to act. The Hymns therefore should be set to tunes which the people will readily sing. Elaborate harmonies are out of place, and the melodies should be such as can be quickly caught up and easily remembered. The want has been felt of a Church Mission Hymnal, with accompanying tunes, compiled on these principles, and after consultation amongst several experienced Missioners, the present collection is put forth in the hope of satisfying that want. The tunes given have all been tested by experience, and have been found to be really popular. They should be well practised by those who are to take part in the Mission, for two or three months before it begins. They should be sung in unison, for the most part quickly, with the rhythm strongly accentuated, and without any attempt to give artificial "expression" to the words. The Miserere forms the nucleus of most Mission Services, and is inserted with that object. The Veni Creator is the best prelude to a Meditation, and the Te Deum is the usual act of thanksgiving with which the Mission closes. The prose Litany of the Passion has been found very solemn and impressive in out-door Processions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
