Overview

Excerpt from Resurgit a Collection of Hymns and Songs of the Resurrection Pieces. But, if these had been taken, the collec tion would have lost its distinctive character. With a very few exceptions, the poems which it contains relate directly to the rising of Christ, and to the Christian hope of resurrection as based thereon. Within these seemingly narrow limits the reader will find a wide variety of form and thought and feeling. It will be noticed that comparatively few Of the pieces are among those in common use for public worship. No part of the editor's search has been so disappointing as that which led him among the hymn-books. It is well known that what may be called the Singing qualities of a hymn are often in inverse ratio to the poetic. There are very many hymns, which, when removed from their set ting, and analyzed as poems, are found to be com monplace, and barren of beauty. No piece, how ever, has been discarded from the collection simply because it was familiar, nor included simply be cause it was little known. Religious feeling and poetic beauty constitute the standard which the editor has sought to apply. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
