PREFACE BY THE EDITOR OF THE MUSIC. N this collection of hymn-tunes it has been the aim of the Editor to include, so far as possible, old tunes whose associations or musical value warrant their retention; when a new or unfamiliar tune is given, a more familiar one of the same metre has, if practicable, been put on the opposite page. There will be found a number of English tunes, which, although new to most of our congregations, have been tested by years of use in other branches of the Christian Church. As many of them have not been named by their composers, names are here given them for convenience in use, designated by an asterisk in the Index of Tunes and in the Index of Metres. There are also a number of German Chorales which have been sung in the churches of Germany for the last two or three hundred years. Acknowledgment is gratefully made to Henry S. Cutler, Mus. D., for "All Saints" (Cutler); to the Oliver Ditson Co. for "Bethany;" to Mr. J. Remington Fairlamb for "Vicaria;" to Mr. John W. Tufts for "Adoration" and "I Look to Thee;" to Mr. Samuel A. Ward for "Materna;" and to the Outlook Co. for the tune of "Armstrong," by Mr. George W. Chadwick. ARTHUR FOOTE. CONTENTS.
