Synopsis

Excerpt from Christian Year: Or Hymns and Poems for the Holy Days and Festivals of the Church For more than a century and a half the name of Bishop Ken has been associated with the three opening Hymns of this Collection, which since their first publication in 1700, at the end of a Manual of Prayers which he compiled for the use of the scholars of Winchester College, have perhaps enjoyed more popularity, and been more sung in our churches, than any similar compositions in the language. In the meantime, the equally fine Hymns on the Christian Festivals, published posthumously in 1721, have been undeservedly neglected, though they have been highly praised by the late John Keble, who was probably indebted to them for the idea of his own "Christian Year."
