Excerpt from Hymns in Prose for Children
Many of these Hymns are composed in alternate parts, which will give them something of the spirit of social worship.
The peculiar design of this publication is to impress devotional feelings as early as possible on the infant mind; fully convinced, as the Author is, that they cannot be impressed too soon, and that a child, to feel the full force of the idea of God, ought never to remember the time when he had no such idea - to impress them, by connecting religion with a variety of sensible objects, with all that he sees, all he hears, all that affects his young mind with wonder or delight; and thus, by deep, strong, and permanent associations, to lay the best foundation for practical devotion in future life. For he who has early been accustomed to see the Creator in the visible appearances of all around him, to feel His continual presence, and lean upon His daily protection - though his religious ideas may be mixed with many improprieties, which his correcter reason will refine away - has made large advances towards that habitual piety, without which religion can scarcely regulate the conduct, and will never warm the heart.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a series of 114 short devotional "hymns" or prayers in prose by Ann and Jane Taylor, written for young children. Published in 1802, it was an innovative work in that prior devotional materials for the young tended to be overly didactic, abstract, and not particularly engaging. The authors' goal was to present basic religious truths and ideas in an accessible, imaginative, and lyrical manner. The hymns are notably free from archaic or "ch" language. Each addresses a different facet or element of Christian thought such as God's care and creation, nature, parental care, and community. This book has been in print for over 200 years, inspiring many readers with its simple, yet profound insights. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
