Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Hymn-Book of the Modern Church: Studies of Hymns and Hymn-Writers
The present time is in many respects peculiarly appropriate for a consideration of the growth and development of the hymns of the modern Church. We are in a state of rest or pause after tumult. The great religious movements of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are matters of history, and we can regard even the most recent of them calmly and without the pre j udica which while con?ict rages may, not altogether unfairly, be regarded as patriotism. The Methodist Revival, the Evangelical Awakening, the Oxford Move ment, the Salvation Army Campaign, the Undenomi national Evangelism of Messrs. Moody and Sankey, may all be taken into account in considering the material and character of the hymn-book of the modern Church.
