Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Songs for the Sanctuary, or Hymns and Tunes for Christian Worship
The songs for the sanctuary first came before the public in 1865. Of the seven years which have passed since, the compiler has spent the larger portion in Christian work out of his own country. On his return, he found that the Hymn and Tune Book he had issued so inconspicuously had received surprising favor among the Churches. He has been compelled to renew the worn-out electrotype plates at once. W0 thousand Congregations are already employing this Collection in their Sab bath worship. Nearly a quarter of a million copies have been purchased. For such unmistakable signs of welcome and success, he is humbly grateful to God and to his people. The call has more than once been made for a Manual of more portable size, and of a somewhat more familiar and less stately character, for use in the Lecture and Prayer-meeting. The Opportunity has been chosen, while the new edition was pass ing through the press, to select these pages now offered. And there have been added a number of the popular pieces, which introduce choruses and refrains. He hopes that this Volume may be useful, and may be employed with the other. The advantage of a Collection which shall present the same general adaptations and arrangements for the Chapel as for the Church, must be apparent to all.
