Excerpt from The Sabbath School Lyre: A Collection of Hymns and Music, Original and Selected, for General Use in Sabbath Schools
This work contains 80 pages. There are 203 hymns and 47 pieces of music. Many of the hymns are original, as is also a large portion of the music. The editor is under obligation to several favorite poets and composers of music for valuable contributions.
The selections embrace music of acknowledged merit, among which will be found attractive pieces from recent publications. Several popular airs, appropriate to the design of the work, have been harmonized, and introduced by permission of the publishers.
It will be seen that this collection contains a good variety of pieces specially adapted to Sabbath school anniversaries, - those of ordinary occurrence, and those held on our nations birth-day. There are also particular hymns for teachers and maternal meetings, infant schools, on the death of teachers, scholars, etc.
It is believed the Lyre will be found well adapted to the purpose intended, and be the means of increasing the interest in our Sabbath schools.
