To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In one volume now be- fore us of no mean pretensions, hymns may be found of eight, icn and twelve stanzas ; and one occurs of eight stanzas of eight lines each, Long Metre — making sixty- four lines; and this Hymn, the author tells us in the preface, " is considera- bly abridged from the original. " Various expedients have been resorted to both by authors and compilers, in order to remedy this evil. Here and there a stanza is included in brackets, and pauses are introduced into the middle, or o...ther parts of the production — thus marring the beauty of the page, and often destroying the connection, and always im- pairing the unity of the piece. The better way, no doubt, is (o reduce every Psalm or Hymn, designed for public wor- ship, to a convenient length for this purpose, by rejecting those stanzas which are redundant, which are deficient in lyric spirit, and which destroy the unity of design. There are few long Hymns, in our language, which will not be suf- ficiently shortened by the application of the above rule.
