Hymns from the Morningland
Being Translations, Centos and Suggestions from the Service Books of the Holy Eastern Church
Produced by Stephen Hutcheson and Charles Coulston
"Hymns from the Morningland" by John Brownlie is a collection of hymns written in the early 20th century. This volume serves as the sixth series of translations, centos, and suggestions drawn from the service books of the Holy Eastern Church. The hymns aim to introduce and enrich Western Christian worship with the beauty and depth of Eastern liturgical expressions. At the start of the collection, the author presents an affectionate preface that expresses his hope that these Eastern hymns may enhance worship in the West, akin to flowers brought from a garden. He emphasizes that while these hymns may lose some of their original beauty when translated, their spiritual essence can still offer comfort and inspiration. Additionally, the introduction sets the stage for the hymns by discussing the importance of adaptation over literal translation, indicating that many selections are reminiscences that reflect the beauty of their sources even if the connection to the original texts is subtle. The opening hints at a thoughtful blend of reverence and adaptation, promising readers a rich musical and spiritual experience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 70.6 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
