Overview

Excerpt from The New Alleluia: A Collection of Hymns and Tunes for the Church School, and the Mid-Week Meeting The new alleluia, in this its enlarged and final form, represents a growth. The 176 pages, of six years ago, are increased to 224. Under the tests of practical use many of its former tunes have given place to those more desirable, and the book, as it now appears, is better than new. The changes and enlargements have kept with the first intent, namely, to furnish, from all sources, a selection worthy both to educate the Sun day School in truer sacred praise, and to encourage richer and more thoughtful song in the devotions of the Church Prayer Meeting. The favor the alleluia has found has been the encouragement to ex tend and still improve it. It has great variety, with adaptation to all ages and special occasions, and with (as we trust) nothing that 1s trivial or dull. It is compact with sturdy and tender hymns, set to music whose strength, width and buoyancy urges more than mere languid attention, and which will, under any thoro leading, transform listlessness into enthusiasm. Whatever things have seemed pure, lovely and of good report, - Ameri can, English or German, - we have gladly consorted. We put forth the new alleluia with renewed thanks to many friends for contributions, permissions, and suggestions; and with the hope that it will, wherever it is used, make more ardent and earnest all the praises of the house of God.
