Overview

Excerpt from Harmonized Edition of the 200 Sacred Melodies IT is with peculiar feelings of gratitude to God for the great success that has attended previous issues of this work, that this larger and more complete Edition is sent forth. Since the first issue, now some twenty - seven years ago, five Editions have been called for, each larger than its predecessor, and an aggregate sale attained of some Millions of copies. The work, too, in its various forms has found its way all over the world, and is used in almost every place where the English tongue is spoken. Such results were never anticipated for it, when it came forth in a most unpretending form, and call for devout thanks to Him who has been pleased to bless it. The present Work contains many new pieces, and several of the Hymns have been written expressly for this Edition, as also several of the Tunes. Every effort has been made to avoid entrenching on copyrights, and permission has been asked, in all cases where the ownership could be found, for-the use of their compositions. Our best thanks are due for the kind and ready manner in which this has been granted in every case and should it be that, from any cause, a tune or hymn has got in without this leave, we must crave the kind indulgence of the authors. The work of Editorship has been divided between Mr. Inglis and myself, and we have spared no labour or thought in order to gather together whatever we believed would add value or interest to the book. Probably by there having been two Editors, of different tastes, the work will be found to meet a larger range of thought and feeling, and become more generally useful, than if drawn up and finished by one hand.
