Excerpt from The Year of Praise: Being Hymns, With Tunes, for the Sundays and Holidays of the Year; Intended for Use in Canterbury Cathedral, and Adapted for Cathedral and Parish Churches Generally

The practice of concluding every Hymn with an Amen has not been fol lowed ia this book. The tune being complete in itself, no such termination is musically required; and the sense of the concluding verse not always admitting of the addition, incongruities are frequently produced by it.

It remains that we speak of our obligations to those Hymn writers and Com posers who have allowed us the use of their words and tunes, or have been good enough to write specially for us.
