Brev. Rom. , Oct. 9 (Lectio 4), aiid Hooker, Eccl. Pol. I. Iii. 4. IN THEIR LITERARY RELATIONS 53 It is a striking fact that Methodism has supphed English Christendom with hymns for all the great festivals of the ecclesiastical year. At Christmas ' Hark ! the herald The Hymns angels sing ! ' is heard in every and the Eccle- land where the English language siastical Year is spoken. It is the same at Easter with ' Christ the Lord is risen to-day ! * and much the same on Ascension Day with ' Hail ...the day that sees Him rise, ' and on Whit Sunday with ' Granted is the Saviour's prayer. ' Some time ago an interesting suggestion was made by an Anglican hymnologist » with regard to two of these hymns. It was suggested that ' Hark ! the herald angels sing ! ' was possibly inspired by a hymn from the Menaion of the Greek Church, XP'-^'^^^ yiwarai • So^da-a-e. This forms a part of the Canon for Christmas Day. It was written by St. Cosmas, the foster-brother of St. John Damascene, who lived in the first half of the eighth century.
