This humble little work is the outcome of personal interest and some lecture work in the field of Hymnology. I trust that this little volume will be of some value, especially to fellow Lutheran organists and choir directors. For further study the student is referred to John Julian’s great “Dictionary of Hymnology” and Benson’s “The English Hymn,” as well as works by Duffield, Breed, Ninde, and others. Every organist and choir director ought to read “The Hymn as Literature” by Jeremiah Bascom Reeves.
