All texts are according to the original 1827 edition. I have chosen to include the original table of contents as it appears in the hymnal and added the numbers on the left side rather than the first lines of the hymns.
The following is the original Preface from this hymnal:
The Hymns in this volume were arranged by Bishop Heber with a hope that they might be deemed worthy of general adoption into our churches, and it was his intention to publish them soon after his arrival in India; but the arduous duties of his situation left little time, during the short life there allotted to him, for any employment not immediately connected with his diocese.
The work is now given to the world in compliance with his wishes, and from an anxious desire that none of his labours in the service of Christianity should be lost.
Several of the Hymns are by the Reverend
H. H. Milman; one was contributed by Sir
Walter Scott; and a few by Jeremy Taylor, Addison, and other writers of former times,
have been selected and reprinted; the remainder were composed by the Bishop at different intervals of leisure during his parochial ministry in Shropshire.
