Excerpt from Pilgrim Melodies: A Collection of Tunes Adapted to Hymns in the "Songs for the Sanctuary," and Other Prominent Collections for Church Worship The contents of this volume were originally composed and ar ranged for the use of the Choir of the church OF the pilgrims, (rev. Dr. Storrs) in Brooklyn, by Mr. J. E. Sweetser, who was Organist and Director for several years previous to his death. The tunes were never intended for publication, but the earnest solicitations of friends for copies of the various pieces made it necessary to put them in some available shape. They are printed just as originally written, and as endeared to the hearts of those who heard them sung Sabbath after Sabbath.
