Excerpt from Lyra Messianica: Hymns and Verses on the Life of Christ, Ancient and Modern; With Other Poems
Lyra Messianica is a second experiment to ascertain how far the Ancient and Medi?val Hymns of the Church, translated into the language of the day, and associated with a selection from the Works, or Specimens of the abilities of some of the first Writers of Religious Poetry of the present age, may become popular, when chosen for the purposes of private and devotional reading at home, and not with the view of public use in Church.
The Collection of Hymns and Verses entitled Lyra Eucharistica was the first experiment; and the results which attended the publication of that Volume seem to warrant the issue of the present Book.
