Excerpt from Psalms and Hymns: For the Use of the German Reformed Church, in the United States of America
The prevalence of the English language having necessarily led to its introduction into many of our Churches, the following resolution was submitted to the Synod by the Classis of Maryland:
Resolved, That Synod be requested to prepare for publication, a Hymn Book in the English language, for the use of the Church.
The Synod approved this resolution, and
Resolved, That the Classis of Maryland be appointed a Committee, to make a selection of Psalms and Hymns, and to submit the same to Synod for their approbation. The Classis having reported at a meeting of Synod, held at Hagerstown, Md., September, 1830, that they had accomplished the work assigned them, and were ready to submit it to Synod for their inspection, a Committee was appointed by the Synod, to examine the same. The Committee in their report expressed their satisfaction with the work,and recommended it to the Synod for adoption and immediate publication, under the superintendence of the Rev. Martin Bruner, in conjunction with another member of their body. Their report was adopted, and Synod
Resolved, That the Rev. James R. Reily and Martin Bruner be appointed a Committee, to superintend the publication of said Hymn Book.
Extract from the Minutes of Synod, held at Easton, Pennsylvania, September, 1833.
