Here are the full original texts of 150 of the best-loved hymns in
the English language, from the time of the Early Church to the late
20th century. Each is accompanied by a fascinating commentary,
giving biographical details of the author, such as the Calvinist
creator of Rock of Ages who once calculated that the average human
sins 2,522,880,000 times; notes on the circumstances in which the
hymn was written and how it has been used; and variant versions
including the parodies of 'The Church's One Foundation' and 'What a
friend we have in Jesus' sung by British soldiers in the trenches
of Flanders in the First World War. This book should greatly assist
all those responsible for choosing hymns in churches and places of
worship, provide rich resources for bedside reading and meditation
and provide useful background material for the millions who watch
Songs of Praise on television every Sunday evening. Ian Bradley's
commentaries combine wit, elegance and charm with a scholar's
erudition and expert knowledge. He has enjoyed singing hymns and
playing them on the piano for as long as he can remember.He
attributes the origin of this enthusiasm to his father's enthusiasm
for revivalist hymns and choruses and his own exposure as a boy to
thundering hymns in the chapel of Tonbridge School. Among his other
enthusiasms are Gilbert and Sullivan, European spas, hill walking
and tennis.
