Excerpt from Hymns for Children, Vol. 1: Compiled and Set to Appropriate Music

In the preparation of this work, the first aim has been to avoid originality, as far as possible, in both the poetry and music; and the second has been, not to alter, except in unavoidable cases, the productions of others: notwithstanding, it has been found necessary to amend frequently, and some times to substitute whole verses, as respects the Hymns while most of the Melodies have been har monized, and not a few composed. In the musical part, Mr. J. Mosenthal and Mr. H. R. Schroeder, both of eminent attainments in the musical profession, have very kindly lent their aid, not only in composing many pieces, but in newly harmonizing, or revising, the greater part of the music given.
