PREFACE

Unlike other hymn-books, this is a collection of Tunes with accompanyinghymns, and not a collection of Hymns with accompanying tunes. The hymns are

subject to the Tunes, more than the tunes to the Hymns. A departure such as

this from approved practice requires explanation.

Lovers of Bach are aware that this High Priest of Church Music introduced a

great many of the standard Reformation hymn-tunes (called in Germany Chorales)

into his sacred choral works. He did not, however, take them over in the form in

which they left their composers' hands, but reharmonised their melodies (sometimeschanging even the melodies themselves) in such a way as to suit the purpose andstyle of the larger work of which each chorale formed only a part. Not only hasBach so treated many chorales, but he has also harmonised the same chorales in

various ways.

As these settings are complete in themselves no violence is done by extracting

them from the many works in which they appear. Accordingly they have beengathered together by German editors into exclusive collections, in some cases withaccompanying words, and in other cases with no words at all. But in neither of

these forms are they of any use to English-singing Choirs. They can be played orlistened to, but not sung. The majority of them, moreover, are hidden away in

Cantatas that are seldom heard. Thus the two obstacles lying in the way are

inaccessibility and absence of English words. My object in making this smallselection has been to remove these two obstacles ; so that now these glorious

settings appear in a handy and inexpensive volume and can be sung to Englishwords.

It is not often that one is able to sever a piece of music, or indeed a piece of

anything, from its original context, and then put it to a new purpose, withoutmaking some small adjustments. These adjustments have been as few and asslight as possible, and have always been made in order to overcome some practical

difficulty and to effect a better rendering. For example, minim notation hastaken the place of crotchet notation, because minims seem better suited to music ofa slow and solemn kind ; crotchets, moreover, tend to encourage the bad habit ofsinging Chorales at too fast a tempo. In two or three cases I have transposedsettings to a lower pitch, largely out of consideration for our chorus tenors whocannot sing acceptably, or even comfortably, above G. Occasionally I havebrought a tune up to a higher key in order to enable the basses to give good roundtone to the lower notes. Once or twice I have brought the bass voice up a wholeoctave (only for a few chords) because ordinary basses do not sing good notesbelow F ; this I have done under the impression that tone is preferable to wind.The editor's chief difficulty has arisen in those passages where Bach takes the bassabove the tenor, or what amounts to the same thing, the tenor below the bass.This device is a little displeasing to modern ears, except perhaps when the choraleis sung strictly as a quartette and the tenor and bass voices are of well-contrastedtimbre. But when the chorale is sung in chorus (tutti) with several or many tenorsand basses, this individual flavour of voice tends to become merged, and the effect

is as if the tenor and bass parts had got out of their proper places. Most of thechorales, however, were written with some sort of instrumental accompaniment,either organ or orchestra, so that the tenor part, though looking to the eye as if it

were the lowest part, had in reality some bass violin or 16ft. organ stop runningbeneath it. So that when these chorales are presented, as in this collection, with

u PREFACE

only the voice parts given and the orchestral accompaniment omitted, it hasbecome necessary, or highly desirable, to place the bass voice in its normal positionbelow the tenor ; either that, or else to repeat the bass voice, when it runs abovethe tenor, an octave lower on the organ. These settings, as hardly needs to be said,

sound very beautiful when sung a capella, i.e., unaccompanied ; but it must be left

to the competent choirmaster to judge when this method of rendering can be safely

used.

When introducing a chorale in a different key from that of the precedingmovement, Bach has not as a rule changed the key signature, but used accidentals.To avoid the use of these repeated accidentals, which give the singer a feeling of

uncertainty as to where he is, I have made the necessary change in the key signa-

ture and removed the accidentals.

Occasionally Bach has made certain syncopations, in view, no doubt, of thespecial words he was using. It has seemed to me unsuitable, and almost disagree-able, to preserve these syncopations, when the setting is intended, as in the presentcollection, to be sung to a succession of different verses.

The use of the musical pause (/T\) in the singing of hymn-tunes has given rise to

much controversy. The pause must not be confused with what is called a rest. Arest is the cessation of musical sound for the length of a minim, crotchet, quaver,whole bar, or whatever duration is indicated ; it means silence for a specific time,

i.e., as the word shows, a rest. A pause, however, means the prolongation of thenote (or even the rest) over which it is placed. It means the spreading out of the

note beyond its normal duration to any length the performer wishes. Unfortunatelythe pause sign (rr\) has been indiscriminately used, even by editors of Bach'sChorales, merely to indicate, for the convenience of the eye, the end of a line. It

is found, for example, over a dotted semibreve, a note which is surely long enoughalready. In the singing of chorales it will be found a good practice to make aminim with a pause over it equal to a dotted semibreve; or, better still, equal to asemibreve followed by a minim rest. In this way there is no disturbance of

rhythm, the rest provides time for taking breath, and the singers know, withoutreferring to the conductor or waiting for the organ, exactly when to take up thenext line. As the pauses are largely a matter of taste, I have not inserted themwith a lavish hand, but only where they seemed necessary. Some choirmastersmay think a more extended use of them desirable.

It is Bach's almost uniform practice to conclude a minor tune with a majorchord, employing what is known as the Tierce de Picardie. But where, as in this

book, a minor tune is sung to a succession of verses, some musicians would thinkit desirable to reserve the Picardy Third for the last verse only.

Those whose knowledge of German Chorales is intimate may feel a little shockwhen they discover that now and again I have clipped off some weak syllable at

the end of a line. The tune at No. 46 is a case in point, where lines 1, 4, 7, 8, 9and 10 close in the original with repeated minims and not with single semibreves.

So far from being a mutilation, these trifling changes seem to have strengthenedthe tune. The only alternative was to discard the tune altogether—a serious loss

considering its beauty—for where is one to find words for such a strange metre ?

In a few cases I have resorted to the opposite device of dividing a semibreve into

two minims, thus overcoming a metrical difficulty without, I think, in any waymarring the music.

Let me assure those musicians whose heart trembles for Bach, as Eli's did for

the Ark of the Covenant, that none of his harmonies have wittingly been tamperedwith.

As to the principles which have guided me in selecting the chorales, I have in the

main chosen those which have already found their way into English collections,

recognising the pleasure which people take in hearing variations upon somethingthat they already know. In the case of chorales not as yet familiar to Englishears, I have indulged my own preferences, knowing well that no two men wouldchoose alike. Some other man might have chosen better. He might conceivably

have chosen worse.

PREFACE iii

In the choice of hymns several considerations have weighed with me. If aGerman hymn, belonging to a chorale I had selected, possessed merit and useful-

ness, and was also well translated, my choice quickly fell upon that hymn or someportion thereof. But if a German hymn associated with a given chorale did not

show signs of helpfulness, either in the original or in translation,—and somehymns I found to be morbid, some too sentimental and others too theological,

—

then I felt free to choose any hymn that appeared suitable. Furthermore it waspart of my plan to provide a collection containing hymns suitable for the successive

seasons of the Christian year, so that Bach's music might enrich our services, notat rare intervals, but constantly.

Now that about a hundred of Bach's settings are gathered together into onebook of convenient size, and provided with English words for a variety of occa-sions, Church choirs are no longer excusable if they withhold from the Christianpublic these specimens of the sacred art of the greatest of all Church Musicians.In finding a place during Mattins for a Bach chorale St. Paul's Cathedral has set

a good example. Let me repeat a remark from the Preface to the English Hymnal,1906 :

—" Choirs would be much better occupied in learning these beautiful settings

of Bach (which are not hard if practised a little) than in rehearsing vulgar anthemsby indifferent composers." And such is the love of English speaking people for

hymn tunes that they would more gladly, and more profitably, listen to a Bachchorale than to secular voluntaries or uninspired improvisations.

No one can labour in this field without acknowledging his indebtedness to

Zahn's great work, Die Melodien der deutschen evangelischen Kirchenlieder, 1889— 1903.And Mr. C. Sanford Terry has done the English student a great service in givingus his scholarly and exhaustive work, Bach's Chorals (Cambridge University Press,

in 3 volumes, 1915). For translations of German hymns there is no one living to

whom the editor is more indebted than to the Rev. G. R. Woodward, M.A., whohas granted free permission to use the translations to be found at Nos. 10, 24, 40,56 and 73 ; all of which, and many others, appear in his Songs of Syon (Schottand Co.). For the version. " O thou who dost accord us," No. 19, I am indebtedto the Committee of the English Hymnal ; to Mrs. Rawnsley for the late CanonRawnsley's hymn, "Lord God, our praise we give," No. 53; to Mr. HumphreyMilford, of the Oxford University Press, for the late Rev. John Ellerton's hymn,"Throned upon the awful tree "

; and to Messrs. Nisbet and Co., from whom per-

mission has been purchased to use the late Miss Havergal's hymn, " I could notdo without thee," No. 71.

As all due care has been taken to find the owners of copyright hymns andtranslations, the editor trusts he will be pardoned if the rights of any authors havebeen invaded.

Should a thirst have been created by this small collection, Choirs and congre-gations will be cheered to know that there are plenty more Bach Chorales to bedug from the same mine ; and should the demand appear strong enough, the editorwill feel encouraged and called to issue a second volume.

To help the poor and needy,And bid the weak be strong ;

To give them son^s for sighing,

Their darkness turn to light,

Whose souls, condemned and dying,

Were precious in his sight.

He shall come down like showersUpon the fruitful earth

;

And love, joy, hope, like flowers,

Spring in his path to birth :

Before him, on the mountains,Shall Peace, the herald, go ;

And Righteousness, in fountains,

From hill to valley flow.

Kings shall fall down before him,And gold and incense bring,

All nations shall adore him,His praise all people sing ;

For he shall have dominionO'er river, sea, and shore,

Far as the eagle's pinionOr dove's light wing can soar.

Let pain and sorrow die with sin:

Behold the mountains melt away

Like wax beneath thine ardent ray.

The sorrows of thy people see,

And take our human flesh on thee.

The broken limb in mercy bind,

Us sinners from our guilt release,

And fill us with thy heavenly peace.

And all her heart with joy is springing;

She wakes, she rises from her gloom;

For her Lord comes down all-glorious,

The strong in grace, in youth victorious,

Her Star is ris'n, her Light is come;Ahl come, thou Blessed One,

God's own beloved Son,

Hallelujah

!

We follow till the halls we see,

Where thou hast bid us sup with thee.

J Now let all the heav'ns adore thee,

And men and angels sing before thee,

With harp and cymbals' clearest tone

Of one pearl each shining portal,

Where we are with the choir immortal

Of angels round thy dazzling throne;

Nor eye hath seen, nor ear

Hath yet attained to hear

What there is ours

;

But we rejoice, and sing to thee

Our hymn of joy eternally.

a Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are shining

:

Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall

Angels adore him, in slumber reclining,

Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of alL

3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion,

Odours of Edom, and offrings divine

;

Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,

Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine ?

4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation;

Vainly with gifts would his favour secure;

Richer by far is the heart's adoration;

Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,

Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid

Star of the East, the horizon adorning,

Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

• From his high and glorious throne

Meekly he to earth came down;

Thus his wondrous course began,

God with God, and man with man.

3 Lo ! a great and heavenly light

From the manger shining bright,

Sin's deep darkness to dispel,

And within our hearts to dwell.

4 Thou who hast the Father's life,

Victor in this human strife !

Tread down sin and every foe,

Reai thy kingdom here below.

But own in fear thy grace hath wroughtWhat in him seemeth righteous.

And thus my hope is in the Lord,And not in mine own merit

By thine hour of dire despair,

By thine agony of prayer

By the cross, the nail, the thorn,

Piercing spear, and torturing scorn

;

By the gloom that veiled the skies

O'er the dreadful sacrifice,

Listen to our humble cry,

Hear our solemn litany.

2 Silent through those three dread hours,

Wrestling with the evil powers,Left alone with human sin,

Gloom around thee and within,

Till the appointed time is nigh,

Till the Lamb of God may die.

3 Hark that cry that peals aloudUpward through the whelming cloud I

Thou, the Father's Only Son,Thou, his own Anointed One,Thou dost ask him—can it be ?

—

" Why hast thou forsaken me ?"

4 Lord, should fear and anguish roll

Darkly o'er my sinful soul,

Thou, who once was thus bereft

That thine own might ne'er be left,

Teach me by that bitter cry

In the gloom to know thee nigh.

He bears our sins upon the tree,

;

It cheers with hope the gloomy day,And sweetens every bitter cup;

It takes the terror from the grave,And gilds the bed of death with light.

3 The heavens with joy receive their Lord:

O day of exultation 1

By Saints, by Angel-hosts adored

For his so great salvation :

O earth, adore thy glorious King,

His Rising, his Ascension sing

With grateful adoration.

3 By Saints in earth and Saints in heaven,

With songs for ever blended,

All praise to Christ our King be given,

Who hath to heaven ascended

:

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

The God of heaven's resplendent host,

^n bright array extended.

In that dread hour be near me,With gladsome thoughts to cheer me,Of life that knows no death.

From thy throne, as April shower,

Thou descendest, heavenly One,

Freighted with thy sevenfold dower,

From the Father and the Son

:

Bring me, noble Guest divine,

God's own blessings—they are thine,

Freely dealt at thy good pleasure:

Fill me in abundant measure.

Save, uphold, and go before me:Fainting, be my staff and rod:

Dying, to new life restore me,

Buried, be my grave, O God

:

From the dust when I arise,

Come, exalt me to the skies,

Where thou wilt in realms supernal

Feed thy saints with joys eternal.

No more thy ways transgressing,

Our proper task fulfil;

Let down our nets again,If thou art our reliance,

Our toil will not be vain.

Sav our, to thy Father bear

This our feeble evening prayer :

Thou hast seen how oft to-day

We like sheep have gone astray;

Worldly thoughts and thoughts of

pride,

Wishes to thy Cross untrue,

Secret faults and undescried

Meet thy spirit-piercing view;

Blessed Saviour, yet through thee

Pray that these may pardoned be.

Blessed Trinity, be near

Through the hours of darkness drear

;

Then when shrinks the lonely heart,

Thou, O God, most present art.

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

\Vr

atch o'er our defenceless head;

Let thy Angels' guardian-host

Keep all evil from our bed,

Till the flood of morning rays

Wakes us to a song of praise.

Brightness of the eternal city

Light of every faithful soul

Safe beneath thy sheltering pity,

Let the tempests past me roll

:

Now it darkens far and near,Still, my God, still be thou here

;

Thou canst comfort and thou only,

When the night is long and lonely.

ret

Have I e'er from thee departed,

Now I seek thy face again,

And thy Son, the loving-hearted,

Made our peace through bitter pain.

Yes, far greater than our sin,

Though it still be strong within,

Is the Love that fails us never,

Mercy that endures for ever.

O thou mighty God, now hearkenTo the prayer thy child hath made

;

Jesu, while the night-hours darkenBe thou still my hope, my aid

;

Holy Ghost, on thee 1 call,

Friend and Comforter of all,

Hear my earnest prayer, O hear me

2 His sovereign power, without our aid,

Made us of clay, and formed us men;And, when like wandering sheep we strayed,

He brought us to his fold again.

3 We are his people, we his care,

—

Our souls and all our mortal frame

:

What lasting honours shall we rear,

Almighty Maker, to thy name ?

4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs,

High as the heavens our voices raise

;

And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,

Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.

5 Wide as the world is thy command,Vast as eternity thy love

;

Firm as a rock thy truth must stand,

When rolling years shall cease to move.

2 Come, ye sons of human race,

In this chorus take your place;

And amid the mortal throng

Be ye masters of the song.

Let, in praise of God, the sound

Run a never-ending round,

That our song of praise may be

Everlasting as is he.

3 So this huge, wide orb we see

Shall one choir, one temple be,

And our song shall overclimb

All the bounds of space and time,

And ascend from sphere to sphere

To the great Almighty's ear;

Then, O come, in pious lays

Sound we God Almighty's praise.

And for his sheep he doth us take.

3 O enter then his gates with praise,

Approach with joy his courts unto

2 With force of arms we nothing can,

Full soon were we down -ridden;

But for us fights the proper Man,

Whom God himself hath bidden.

Ask ye, Who is this same ?

Christ Jesus is his name,

The Lord Sabaoth's Son

;

He, and no other one,

Shall conquer in the battle.

God's word, for all their craft and force,

One moment will not linger,

But, spite of hell, shall have its course;

'Tis written by his finger.

And though they take our life,

Goods, honour, children, wife,

These things shall vanish all,

The city of God remaineth.

2 Thy providence is kind and large,

Both man and beast thy bounty share;

The whole creation is thy charge,

But man is thy peculiar care

:

My God, how excellent thy grace,

Whence all our hope and comfort springs

The sons of Adam in distress

Fly to the shadow of thy wings.

3 From the provisions of thy house

We shall be fed with sweet repast;

There mercy, like a river, flows,

And we the living water taste:

Life, like a fountain rich and free,

Springs from thy presence, gracious Lord;

And in thy light our souls shall see

The glories promised in thy word.

I. Watts, 17 19.

I know thy thoughts are ever

Of peace and love towards me,Thy purpose changes never,

Could I but build on thee 1

That thou fulfillest surely

Thy promises, dear Lord,Here I can stand securely,

My life is in thy wopd.

My soul, shake off thy fears

But yet in love he sought me,

And on his shoulder gently laid,

2 The Lord was King ere time began,

His reign is everlasting :

When high the floods in tumult ran,

Their foam to heaven up-casting,

He made the raging waves his path:

The sea is mighty in its wrath,

But God on high is mightier.

3 Thy testimonies, Lord, are sure;

Thy realm fears no commotion

;

Firm as the earth, whose shores endure

Th' eternal toil of ocean

:

And thou with perfect peace wilt bless

Thy faithful flock ; for holiness

Becomes thine house for ever.

2 When in the sultry glebe I faint,

Or on the thirsty mountain pant,

To fertile vales and dewy meads

My weary wandering steps he leads,

Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow,

Amid the verdant landscape flow.

Though in a bare and rugged wayThrough devious lonely wilds I stray,

Thy bounty shall my pains beguile;

The barren wilderness shall smile

With sudden greens and herbage

crowned,

The streams shall murmur all around.

Though in the paths of death I tread,

With gloomy horrors overspread,

My steadfast heart shall fear no ill,

For thou, O Lord, art with me still

:

Thy friendly crook shall give me aid,

And guide me through the dreadful shade.

I could not do without thee,

I cannot stand alone,

I have no strength or goodness,

No wisdom of my own

;

But thou, beloved Saviour,

Art all in all to me,And weakness will be power

If leaning hard on thee.

I could not do without thee

;

No other friend can readThe spirit's strange deep longings,

Interpreting its need

;

No human heart could enterEach dim recess of mine,

And soothe, and hush, and calm it,

O blessed Lord, but thine.

I could not do without thee,

For years are fleeting fast,

And soon in solemn lonenessThe river must be pass'd

;

But thou wilt never leave me,And though the waves roll high,

I know thou wilt be near me,And whisper, "It is I."

2 High-throned on heav'n's eternal hill,

In number, weight and measure still,

Thou sweetly orderst all that is

:

And yet thou deignst to come to me,And guide my steps, that I with thee

Enthroned may reign in endless bliss.

3 Fountain of good, all blessing flowsFrom thee; no want thy fulness knows

;

What but thyself canst thou desire ?

Yes, self-sufficient as thou art,

Thou dost desire my worthless heart

;

This, only this, thou dost require.

That we eternal joy might know:O Love, I give myself to thee,

The Word and Spirit, life and power,

Whose heart was bared to them that

Who for my soul dost ever plead

O Love, who didst my ransom pay,

Whose power sufficeth in my stead

From out this dying life of ours;

O Love, who once above yon skies

Shalt set me in the fadeless bowers

Yet, while I seek but find thee not,

No peace my wand'ring soul shall

see;

O, when shall all my wand'rings end,And all my steps to thee-ward tend ?

Is there a thing beneath the sunThat strives with thee my heart to

share ?

Ah, tear it thence, and reign alone,

The Lord of every motion there I

Then shall my heart from earth be free,

When it hath found repose in thee.

Each moment draw from earth awayMy heart, that lowly waits thy call

Speak to my inmost soul, and say," I am thy Love, thy God, thy All !

To feel thy pow'r, to hear thy voice,

To taste thy love, be all my choice.

His strength shall bear thy spirit up,

And brace thy heart, and nerve thine arm.

3 Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame

;

And let thy foolish pride be still

:

The Lord refused not e'en to die

Upon a Cross on Calvary's hill.

4 Take up thy cross, then, in his strength,

And calmly sin's temptations brave;'Twill guide thee to a better home

;

It points to glory o'er the grave.

5 Take up thy cross, and follow on,

Nor think till death to lay it down;For only he who bears the cross

May hope to wear the glorious crown.

Ah, how hungers all my spirit

For the love I do not merit l

Oft have I, with sighs fas^.-thronging,

Thought upon this food with longing,

In the battle well-nigh worsted,

For this cup of life have thirsted,

For the Friend, who here invites us,

And to God himself unites us.

Sun, who all my life dost brighten,

Light, who dost my soul enlighten,

Joy, the sweetest man e'er knoweth,Fount, whence all my being floweth,

At thy feet I cry, my Maker,Let me be a fit partaker

Of this blessed food from heaven,

For our good, Thy glory, given.

F2 Soon as the evening shades prevailThe moon takes up the wondrous tale,

And nightly to the listening earthRepeats the story of her birth;

Whilst all the stars that round her burn,And all the planets in their turn,

Confirm the tidings, as they roll,

And spread the truth from pole to pole.

3 What though in solemn silence all

Move round the dark terrestrial ball

:

What though no real voice nor soundAmid their radiant orbs be found

;

In reason's ear they all rejoice,

And utter forth a glorious voice

;

For ever singing as they shine,4 The hand that made us is Divine.'

J. Addison, 1713.

2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love

To preach the reconciling word

;

Give power and unction from above,Whene'er the joyful sound is heard.

3 Be darkness, at thy coming, light

;

Confusion, order in thy path:Souls without strength inspire with might

;

Bid mercy triumph over wrath.

4 O Spirit of the Lord, prepareAll the round earth her God to meet;

Breathe thou abroad like morning air

Till hearts of stone begin to beat.

5 Baptize the nations; far and nigh,

The triumphs of the cross record;

The name of Jesus glorify,

Till every kindred call him Lord.

J. Montgomery, 1823.
