The Christian Lyre (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Christian Lyre

As the work is not designed to please scientific musicians, so much as to profit plain Christians, reference is had, chiefly, to the known popularity of What is selected. The tunes are accompanied with only a simple bass, and sometimes not even with that. In a vast multitude of cases, the religious effect of a hymn is heightened by having all sing the air only.

Possessing no musical skill beyond that of ordinary plain singers, I send out my work, without pretensions, but only with the hope and prayer, that it may aid Christ's cause.
