Excerpt from Prayers From the Collections of the Late Baron Bunsen: Part I. For the Family; Part II. Prayers and Meditations for Private Use The arrangement into prayers for the morn ings and evenings of three weeks, as well as the distinction made between those adapted to household or to individual devotion, is my own, and is designed to facilitate the practical em ployment of the book. Most of the prayers appropriate to the ordinary current of life prayers of praise and thanksgiving for its daily joys, of earnest desire for guidance and strength amid its daily cares and toils - have naturally found their place in the First Part of this volume, though many of them are as suitable for individual as for family use. Those in the Second Part deal chiefly with special states of feeling, or the more private emotions of as piration, sorrow, and penitence.

D.H. Lawrence, writing of the poems that had meant most to him, said that they were `still not woven so deep in me as the rather banal Nonconformist hymns that penetrated through and through my childhood'. It is not easy to account for this, and most writing about hymns has not helped because it has concentrated on their content and function in worship and liturgy. In the present book the author tries to account for feelings like Lawrence's by examining the hymn form and its progress through the centuries from the Reformation to the present day. He begins by discussing the status of a hymn text and relates it to the demands made upon it by the needs of singing. A chronological study then traces the development of the English hymn, from the metrical psalms of the Reformation, through the seventeenth century and Isaac Watts to the Wesleys, Cowper, Toplady, and others, and then to the great flood of hymn writing that occurred during the Victorian period, together with the great success of Hymns Ancient and Modern. There are chapters on American hymnody and women's hymn writing, and sections on gospel hymns and the translation of German hymnody. A final chapter takes the story into the twentieth century, with a brief postscript on the revival of hymn writing since 1960.
