PREFACE.
BY the infinite mercies of God the time at length seems to have come when
His people will rejoice with gladness to sing His praise in "spiritual
song " at the holy seasons of Christmas and Epiphany, Easter, and
Harvest. In churches, therefore, where the people of God thus delight
to "joy before Him," it will be found by many convenient if
the various " Carols for Christian Seasons" can be had bound
together in one volume, as well as issued in separate numbers and parts
for the use of congregations. Restoration is gradual; Church work is slow;
and so it has been an arduous, prolonged, and costly work to restore the
use of Carols in Divine Service, and thus make into an act of worship
what was well-nigh considered only a recreation at a social gathering.
But now they who have begun to love the old, old story and grow familiar
with the carol strain at Christmas and Epiphany, go on to desire the helpful
song of Easter and Ascension triumph, and at length from victory won through
the holy Nativity, the glorious Resurrection, and Ascension of the Saviour,
long to lift the Carol of Harvest Home, which tells not only of the ingathered
fruits of the earth, but also of the garnered store which we ourselves
hope at last to be in the Home of God!
That the Ever Blessed Three in One may bless these Carols to His Church
on earth is the prayer of him who has been mercifully spared to gather
and bind together this sheaf of human praise to God " Who bath done
great things for us already, whereof we rejoice."
To the many Authors and Publishers who have generously helped me in this
prolonged effort to produce :t Book of Carols for the great Festivals
of the Church, I beg leave .to offer my most grateful thanks.
R. R. CHOPE.
