Excerpt from Favorite Hymns in Their Original Form: Selected and Verified Of all my joys: O for a closer walk with God God moves in a mysterious way: Nearer my God to Thee These -may have been changed; but I have not met them other than their writers left them. Of the same general class of hymns are such as I have chosen: those which are known as widely as the English language is spoken. There are certain things which have come to us invested with associations so rich and tender, that we do not ask whether they are In themselves beautiful: their meaning to us is beauty enough. And these hymns are of them: for while some of them are perhaps lacking in the highest graces of expression, and are possibly a little hard and mechanical, they have been bathed in the great wave of Christian feeling\aiid have come out therefrom sacred. They are, next to the Bible, the most precious possession of the church. I am not sure but they are the most precious possession of our language. It is a question which the Christ ian would not like to see decided against him which were the harder to lose from our literature, the writings of Shakespeare or those hymns which have fed the hope and inspired the faith of so many generations of salnts.
