For the comforting of such as delight in music, it may be permitted that in the beginning or in the end of Common Prayer, either at morning or evening, there may be sung a sung a hymn, or such like song, to the praise of Almighty God, in the best melody and music that may be conveniently devised; having respect that the sentence of the hymn may be understood and perceived. Queen Elizabeth's Injunctions to the Clergy, 1559 204-1914 PREFACE. THE following Selection of Psalms and Hymns is intended chiefly for the use of the congregation at the Episcopal Chapel of the London Society for promoting Christianity amongst the Jews. Should it be asked what necessity there was for making a new selection for this purpose, when there are so many good ones already extant ; it may be truly replied, that numerous and excellent as they may be, not one of them will be found sufficiently appropriate to a congregation composed of Christian JEWS as well as Gentiles. That no such collection should have appeared is easily accounted for, when we remember that it is but within these few years that such a congregation has existed in our own country to experience the want of it. Let us be thankful that we have lived to see the time, when Jews and Gentiles are found glorifying God |
