Excerpt from Hymns of the Present Century From the German
This collection is entirely composed of hymns written or first published in the nineteenth century. The reasons which have led the translator to confine himself to this period are, because many of the sacred poets of the time take a high place on their own merits among the Christian singers of Germany; and because a large number of the writers and hymns of this period are unknown to English readers. Some of the most popular ones in Germany to-day seem to have attracted little or no attention in our own country.
This limitation of the area of choice gives its distinctive character to the present collection of German hymn translations.
