The New English Hymnal is a hymn book and liturgical source aimed towards the Church of England. First published in 1986, it is a successor to, and published in the same style as, the 1906 English Hymnal. [1] It is published today by SCM Canterbury Press, an imprint of Hymns Ancient and Modern Ltd.
The hymn is most commonly set to the tune "Duke Street", composed by John Hatton, about whom little is known except his place of residence, on Duke Street in St. Helen's. [1] The following setting appears in the modern hymnal "Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New". [5]
The preface to the hymnal describes itself as "a collection of the best hymns in the English language." [2] Much of the contents was used for the first time at St Mary's, Primrose Hill, in north London [3] [4] and the hymnbook could be considered a musical companion to The Parson's Handbook, Dearmer's 1899 manifesto on English church ceremonial, vestments and furnishings.
The hymn remains popular in modern compilations, notably appearing in the Carols for Choirs collection. It is normally paired with the tune "St. Fulbert" by Henry John Gauntlett. It has also been set to music as an anthem by Charles Villiers Stanford, and this version is equally in common use in Anglican churches.
Not all churches can boast a full SATB choir, and a repertoire of one-, two- and three-part music is more suitable for many parish church choirs, a fact which is recognised in the current work of the Royal School of Church Music. Anglican churches also frequently draw upon the musical traditions of other Christian denominations.
