Excerpt from Hymns and Chants: With Offices of Devotion; For Use in Sunday-Schools, Parochial and Week-Day Schools, Seminaries and Colleges; Arranged According to the Church Year
Here is a Hymn-Book designed for the use of children and youth. We can find no fault if our Preface shall be regarded in the light of an apology, as it will necessarily take that form, and is, in fact, so intended. That we should publish a new Hymn-Book for the young, in full view of the large collection of this class of books now lying before us, might easily be regarded as immodest and presumptuous. We accordingly proceed to justify ourselves.
The subject of Hymnology, during late years, has attracted new and increased attention. This is the result of a newly awakened and growing interest in the true nature of Christian worship.
