HHHIS Hymnal is designed to be a companion to * The Book of Common Prayer , and Administration of X the Sacraments , and other Kites and Ceremonies of the Church . ' The Tables of Contents correspond . The Order of the Ecclesiastical Year is observed . The Hymns are ranged under those divisions of the Prayer-book with which their subjects most easily coalesce . It is humbly submitted to the consideration of those whom the compilers of our Liturgy address in their preface , namely , ' the sober , peaceable , and truly conscientious sons of the Church of England , ' as a Hymnal in unison with the sound doctrine of our Prayer-book , and fitted to the comprehensive framework of its services ; as containing those valuable hymns and translations which have become so deservedly popular during the last twenty years ; as affording sufficient variety of hymns without the encumbrance of those seldom or never used ; and , lastly , as accompanied with a selection of the best music . The Annotated Edition consists of three parts : ( 1 ) An Introduction explaining the principles on which the compilation is made , ( 2 ) The Hymnal , ( 3 ) Notes to every Hymn , giving the name of the author and the approximate date when it was written , justifying any variations allowed ( though the effort has been to cleave to the original text as far as possible ) , and showing in which of the most representative Church Hymn-books , carefully collated , most of the Hymns appear .
