PREFACE.
Thedesignof those concerned in thepreparationofthe BaptistHymnal,has
been to furnish the churches a book which shall aid in the worship of God, and
so make the service of His house more attractive and delightful. They have
sought both in the selection ofHymns, and in the choice andadaptation ofmusic,
to secure to God's people the best possible expressionof the praises, pleadings, and
aspirations of their hearts.
By restricting the number of hymns to those which are believed to be all
that are necessary, space has been found for a most liberal provision in music.
A
definite plan has controlled the selection, viz:
1. Wherever the book is opened, a familiar tune is provided, ifpossible, for
every hymn before the eye, preferably a tune alreadywedded tothewords. The
book thus becomes at once and in every part available.
2. As advancing tastes desire richer effects in harmony, on the same or op-
posite page with most hymns is afforded the alternative of a less familiar tune of
the highest musical worth. The melodies of these more elaborate compositions
may be sung by the congregation in unison, harmony being supplied by choir or
organ.
3. As it is impossible to supply certain hymns of irregular measure with a
choice oftunes, they are attended simply by the music, old or new, to which their
established or growing popularity is largely due.
4. In the fev/ instances where for regular meters but one tune was found
practicable, the choice has been given to a familiar one, except in a minimum of
cases and for controlling reasons.
All sources have been laid under contribution for the music. The ani-
mated Sacred Songs ofLowry,Bliss, and others; Psalm-tunes hallowed by use for
more than ageneration; thefamiliar Church PsalmodyofMason, Bradbury, Kings-
ley, and Woodbury the stately Ancient Chorals of Europe, and the free melodies
;
and rich harmonies from the school of church music represented in England by
Dykes and Barnby on the Continent by Gounod and Hiller, andin Americaby
;
Cutler and Cornell; all will be found here represented.
The especial features of the Hymnal are therefore
1. A collection ofhymns shown by experience to be: useful. 2. A largerpro-
A
vision ofpopular melodies than is usual in books ofthis character. 3. choice,
subject to few exceptions, between tunes generally known and newer or more
elaborate melodies.
With this brief preface the book is sent forth withthe earnest prayer that it
may prove a blessing to the churches and the world. To Godbe the glory ofany
success it may achieve.

PUBLISHEK'S NOTE.
Two years ago the Publication Society resolved to publish another Hymn
Book, and appointed a Committee, consisting of A. J. Rowland, D.D., P. 8.
Henson, D.D., and Rev. L. P. Hornberger, to attend to its compilation. Under
instructions from the Board, this Committee, in connection with the Secretary
of the Society, B. Griffith, D. D., invited H. M. King, D. D., of Boston, Mass.,
H. H.,Tucker, D.D., of Atlanta, Ga., J. A. Smith, D. D., of Chicago, 111.,
E. G. Taylor, D.D., of Providence, R. L, Rev. H. M. Richardson, of Mary-
ville. Mo., Samuel Graves, D. D., ofGrand Rapids, Mich., T. T. Eaton, D. D.,of
Petersburgh, Va., Basil Manly, D.D., ofLouisville, Ky., E. T.Winkler, D.D., of
K
Marion, Ala., Rev. T. S. Griffith, of Holmdel, J., Daniel Reed, D.D., of
K
Bloomington, III, T. H. Pritchard, D.D., of WakeForest, C., andWayland
Hoyt, D. D., of Brooklyn, N. Y., to become a Consulting Committee, and to
furnish lists of Hymns necessary in their judgmentfor purposes of worship. The
Hymns thus sent were carefully considered by the Committee, and wherever five
or more of those sending them concurred, were adopted for publication. The
hymns were then placed in the hands of W. H. Doane, Mus. Doc, and E. H.
Johnson, D.D., Musical Editors, who, duringthe processofthe work, were in fre-
quent consultation with A. J. Rowland, D.D., Chairman of the Society's Com-
mittee. On the completion of their labors, a Proof of the entire bookwas taken
and sent to the Consulting Committee and others, for criticisms and suggestions.
It will thus beseen that theBaptist Hymnal is the result oflong andpains-
taking toil, and that it embodies the choices and tastes of a large number of our
well-known workers. The Publication Society trusts that the book will prove
acceptable to the churches in all parts of the country, and a real addition to the
Service of Praise. Its officers and managers desire to express their gratitude to
the membersofthe ConsultingCommittee, tothe Hymnal CommitteeoftheBoard,
to E. H. Johnson, D.D., for very important and uncompensated labor, and espe-
cially to Dr. W. H. Doane for his invaluable and gratuitous service as Musical
Editor-in-Chief.
Acknowledgments are also due and are hereby made to Messrs. Biglow &
Main, Mr. George Kingsley, Dr. Robert Lowry, Dr. J. Ireland Tucker, W. W.
Huntington, Esq., Messrs. E. and J. B. Young, T. E. Perkins, and others, for
permission to use valuable copyright music.
