BY AUTHORITY OF THE GENERAL COUNCIL OF THE EVAN- GELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH IN NORTH AMERICA. NINTH EDITION. PHILADELPHIA : GENERAL COUNCIL PUBLICATION BOARD. 1908. Copyrighted, 1885. by the General Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in North America. \\ i stcott iV Thomson, Stereoi >/]>(' rs ami Blfctrotypers, PhUada, PREFACE. This book is the result of the labors of a Committee appointed by the General Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in North America, and is issued in response to the demand for a Hymnal especially adapted for use with little children in School and Family. For school purposes, in addition to the hymns, a Service has been pro- vided, based, as far as practicable for use with little children, on the old Matin and Vesper Service of the Lutheran Church ; and as it is hoped that parents will find pleasure and profit in using the book with their little ones at home, an ample variety of Morning, Evening, and Table Prayers, and Morning, Evening, and Nursery Hymns has been inserted. Id the preparation of this book the Committee have, as far as possible, adhered to the principle of choosing only such hymns and tunes as com- bine substantial merit with child-like simplicity. In a few instances indeed, this principle may perhaps have been violated by the admission of hymns and tunes which may seem somewhat too difficult for little children. But this has been done only, when under certain subjects, and in the case of certain metres, a hymn or tune could not be found that was at once meritorious and simple to the degree that might be desired. Still, it is believed that the book does not contain a single hymn or tune that little children can not learn, provided they have a 3 XBxrfact. faithful, persevering, and patient teacher. Moreover, children should in early life be made familiar with the best hymns and tunes, as only these will retain their place and influence, when mere childish pieces, like the toys of early years, have been laid aside. Grateful acknowledgment is made to Mrs. Harriet Reynolds Spaeth and Miss Mary Welden, of Philadelphia, for various hymns translated from the German; to the Rev. PI Greenwald, D.D., Pastor of Trinity Church, Lancaster, Pa., for most of the Opening and Closing Prayers; and to the Rev. F. M. Bird, of Lehigh University, for valuable assist- ance in verifying dates, and in ascertaining, as far as possible, the author- ship and the correct text of the hymns. In this part of their work, the Committee have encountered many difficulties. Quite a number of children's hymns are anonymous publications ; and the special subject of Juvenile Hymnody has not yet received that careful attention which makes it possible, in every instance, to determine which of several ver- sions is the original text. The Committee have been careful not to infringe upon any copyrights. If they have however unconsciously done so, and are advised of the fact, all due acknowledgments will be made in future editions. Christmas, 1884. SUGGESTIONS. 1. The teaching of hymns and tunes should form a part of " The Instruction." 2. It is in accordance with ancient usage to use two or three Psalms at the same service. 3. If possible, the Psalm or Psalms should always be sung. 4. In the Opening and Closing Prayers to be said by the children, the Teacher should lead. 5. To assist the Teacher, and to save the time for other instruction in the School, parents should provide themselves with the book, and teach their children the Service and hymns, and if possible, the tunes, at home.
