Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hymns of the Present Century From the German
N o attempt has been made to include samples of the hymns of all, even of the good writers of the time, nor all the best hymns of any one writer. The original metres have not always been retained while some of the hymns have been abridged by the omission of stanzas, and others by condensation. The translator has aimed at reproducing the spirit of the originals, and giving a faithful rendering of the sense, but has avoided any conscious sacrifice of euphony to close literal fidelity. Two only of the fol lowing translations Return again, ' and Dwell in have ever appeared in print before. A Biographical Index gives information, in a brief and condensed form, about the various writers.
