There is no part of the general field of Christian hymnology so baffling to the student or so full of difficulties as the one under consideration in this paper. Many accounts of the subject are in existence but are far from conclusive. This is due, first of all, to the unexpected scarcity of original sources. When one views the rise of Christianity from its inception to the period of the Council of Nicaea, 325, its numerical growth from a handful of original adherents to millions of followers at the time of the Edict of Milan, 313, its literary development from early scattered records to the works of the great Greek and Latin fathers, one cannot help inquiring, “What has become of their hymns?” Aeterna Press

Book Excerpt: ea, who "speak with tongues and magnify God" (Acts 10:45-46), or the Ephesians who "spake with tongues, and prophesied" (Acts 19:6), or perhaps the disciples on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:4). Irenaeus, a second century father of the Church and bishop of Lyons, referring to the scene at Pentecost, mentions the singing of a hymn on that occasion.[17] The nature of improvisations is fugitive. They arise from individual inspiration and, even if expressed in familiar phrases, are not remembered or recorded by the singer or hearer. To whatever degree improvisation played a part in early Christian hymnody, to that same degree we lack corresponding literary survivals. Possibly this is one explanation of the dearth of sources which we now deplore. On the whole, the hymnic evidence found in the New Testament points to a predominant Hebrew influence. Both in the use of psalms and other Old Testament hymns and in the phraseology of new hymns, the Christians found themselves more at hom Read More
Christ in the Early Christian Hymns by Daniel Liderbach Pdf
"From the first days of the church, Christians confessed their faith in Jesus Christ in both theological discussion and in popular hymns of devotion. After the major church councils from Nicaea to Chalcedon brought clarification and definition to Christological doctrines, the hymns began to express clearly this belief in Jesus as truly God and truly human." "Father Liderbach shows that pre-Nicaean hymns inductively held in tension both the full humanity of Jesus and his more-than-human status. Then during the councils from Nicaea to Chalcedon, deductive doctrine held sway in the new hymn compositions. But the final definition by Chalcedon encouraged new hymns in which humanity and divinity are once again held in experiential tension according to the "rule of faith" of the earliest period."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Songs of the Day and Night by Alexander B. Grosart Pdf
Excerpt from Songs of the Day and Night: Or Three Centuries of Original Hymns for Public and Private Praise and Reading; The Life-Story of Jesus Christ; A Cantata With Other Sacred Poems My Heart. A reminiscence of St Augustine. 1. As in the stillness of the night I lie awake; The hours - like birds wing-weary - flight Towards Heav'n take; And from the beating of my heart Untaught of Art, Fancy, from every pulse and pause, Quaint symbols draws. 2. A lifted axe it seems to me, With steady stroke Like woodmans that falls momently Against an oak; Felling, felling the tree of life: O fateful strife I I hush myself that I may hear, Yet do not fear. 3. The solemn sign I would receive - To Thy sweet will Yielding myself - its sense believe, Aye and until Thou, Lord! shalt give the word to smite It shall be right; Let the tree fall; 'tis in Thy Hand, I'll fearless stand.
