A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Christian Worship (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Christian Worship

The compilers have occasionally met with hymns requiring some slight alterations, which they conceived themselves justifiable in mak ing in order to adapt them to the general plan and character of the work. Few alterations have, however, been made, except in changing the singular number into 'the plural, where it could be done without affecting the measure or harmony of the verse. The plural form of expression being considered more appropriate in social worship.

In the general arrangement of the work, it has been thought judicious to appropriate one portion to the psalms, another to the hymns, and a third to the spiritual songs. The several parts of each psalm are arranged according to their metres, and numbered continuously. The hymns are distributed under their proper heads, and the songs. Are placed at the close of the book, and arranged under running titles as far as was practicable.
