Excerpt from The Gospel Psalmist: A Collection of Hymns and Tunes, for Public, Social, and Private Devotion, Especially Designed for the Universalist Denomination
Tho subjoined directions are intended for the benefit of those who may use this book in Congregational Singing: -
1. The congregation should stand when they sing, in the usual attitude of worship, facing the pulpit.
2. They should rise promptly when the organist is playing the last line of the tune.
3. A choir of singers disposed to lead the congregation, may be of great service to it. But if the congregation are not led by a choir, they should have a leader in front of them, near the pulpit, and on a level with the pews.
4. Children should be instructed in singing at home, and in tho schools, and should be encouraged to sing with the congregation.
5. Hymns and Tunes intended to be used should be made familiar by frequent rehearsals, both in public and in families.
6. The singing should be in steady, uniform time, from tho beginning to tho end of tho hymn, with no forced pauses for tho observance of punctuation, nor any needless delay at tho end of the lines.
