Work of that kind is useful, and absolutely necessary for certain +purposes; but, unless for the hymnologist, or for the liturgiologist, it is +far from being attractive. To be true, +<span class="pb" id="pg_10">[10]</span> +renderings can hardly be graceful, and they must lack much of the literary +charm which attaches itself to productions which are more untrammelled. Hence, +unless, as has been said, to the few who are specialists, translations are not +much in favour. They have earned a reputation, and that reputation adheres to +them: they are cold and uninspiring. Such is their reputation, not always +just, but who can say that it has not, on the whole, been earned?</p> +<p>Perhaps it would be wrong to say that there is any prejudice against +translations from the Greek or any other language whatever, as such. The +reluctance to welcome translations is really reluctance to welcome poems which +do not find their way to the heart. For this reason there is perhaps not more +than a score of translations which have won their way from permanent hymnals +to a permanent place in the affections of our devout fellow-countrymen. In +this connection it is to be noted that we speak of <i>translations</i>, and not of +<i>suggestions</i> such as, +“Art thou weary,” or +“O, happy band of pilgrims,” +and many others, which have +<span class="pb" id="pg_11">[11]</span> +advanced into great favour, and are termed translations, but are not.</p> +<p>True hymns are sacred lyrics, and a lyric to be lyrical and heart appealing, +must be <i>inevitable</i>. It must be the spontaneous expression of the heart of the +author—an expression which <i>had</i> to come. It is the latent secret of the power +of true hymns, for what <i>must</i> be uttered will assuredly, sooner or later, find +its way to some heart. Such jets of living poetry must be awaited: they +cannot be forced. But a translator must deliberately sit down at his desk and +work—manufacture, if you will—and endeavour to turn on the lathe of graceful +culture, elegancies which readers may admire, but will never feel.</p> +<p>Perhaps translators from the Greek have a singular temptation to eschew. Hymns +from the Offices have to be created in Greek, as has been pointed out in a +former Introduction, before they can be the source of living poetic +inspiration. No doubt the necessity of forming a cento is also the privilege, +but it may easily entice a translator to be satisfied with a lifeless +stringing of inept +<span class="pb" id="pg_12">[12]</span> +fragments. All this and much more has been brought home to the writer times +without number.</p> +<p>If one would have his work to be permanently useful; if he would aim at any +particular employment of his hymns, he must observe the conditions which such +an aim implies. A translator who aims at the use of his work in public +worship, must aim at pellucid simplicity both of phraseology and of structure; +and if they are to be widely, permanently, or deservedly popular, they must +be gifted with becoming grace. This cannot be done in translations pure and +simple. The present collection gives the result of an experiment. The Greek +has been used as a basis, a theme, a motive; oriental colour, and it is to be +hoped some of the oriental warmth has been preserved. Now and again an +oriental figure is retained, and to those who have any knowledge of the +worship of the Eastern Church, it must be obvious that the peculiar themes of +her praise are in abundant evidence.</p> +<p>What, then, is the net result? To an unpractised eye, if no indication of the +source of these hymns had been given, could anything +<span class="pb" id="pg_13">[13]</span> +about them have suggested their source? To the unpractised eye, nothing. But +no one who knows the Greek Offices will travel far before he overtakes +well-known landmarks. This is just as it should be. It is sufficient that a +fertile source of suggestion has been found—of theme, thought, form, +colour—and that from this ancient source it is possible to procure much that +is beautiful for the adornment of the worship of God’s house to-day. And this +gratifying fact is made plain, that the themes of Greek Church praise are the +grand themes of the praise of the Church in our land and in all Christian +lands;—The Christ in all the Might and Glory of His Person and Work: the +need of our humanity, and the way in which Christ met it: His miraculous +birth, which is not shorn of any of its mystery, and the embellishments of the +event, which are never toned down, but, in true oriental fashion, made, if +possible, more dazzling: His Passion and His Death, and the fulness of their +atoning efficacy. But, as is to be expected, the grand theme of the Greek +singers, as became those who, more than we have done, +<span class="pb" id="pg_14">[14]</span> +caught the first inspiration of their praise from the apostles, is the +glorious Resurrection of our Lord from the dead. Here, the praise of the Greek +Church touches its highest note, and pours forth its most enchanting melody. +“Christ is risen,” and the glad response, “He is risen indeed”—these words +constitute the keynote of all that is best and most beautiful in Greek +worship. The Knowledge and the Wisdom of God are everywhere extolled, and the +attribute of Light is continually and cordially applied to the Deity.</p> +<p>One cannot acquaint himself with the Church of the Apostles, with its glowing +service, and with the noble stand it has made, and still maintains, for the +truth of God and for the Kingdom of Christ in the world, and not feel pained +with the fact, so little to the credit of the Church of the West, that, of our +sympathy it has little or none. This is largely due to our ignorance. But is +ignorance in many cases not culpable? Is it not so in our case? A little +more acquaintance with the Eastern Church would vastly alter +<span class="pb" id="pg_15">[15]</span> +our attitude towards it, and speedily remove most of our prejudices.</p> +<p>More than once have we listened to depreciations of the Greek Church, and the +epithet “stagnant” has always been incorporated as a first-rate misdemeanour +of the Orthodox Church of the East. The assumption in the epithet is that the +Greek Church is not missionary and aggressive, and the implication is that it +has been so from earliest times. Until men acquaint themselves with the +history of this Church, and open their eyes to facts which are readily +accessible, it is useless to attempt to lift them out of their prejudices.</p> +<p>How much did the Church of the East suffer by the great Roman schism of 1054! +After, in the words of Dr. A. van Millingen, in his <i>Byzantine Constantinople</i>, +having in “the empire of which New Rome was the capital, defended the higher +life of mankind against the attacks of formidable antagonists, and rendered +eminent service to the cause of human welfare;” after having elaborated the +Christian doctrines and formed the creed of Christendom for the world, she was +shorn +<span class="pb" id="pg_16">[16]</span> +of much of her strength by the departure of the West. The spring, and energy, +and enterprise were largely taken from her. No fault of hers that she was left +with the meditative souls who could ponder the mysteries of God, but could not +trade in the merchandise of the Kingdom. So she was left in possession of her +splendid attainment, without the aptitude to fit herself to aggressive +enterprise, while Rome, with all the qualifications which have fitted her for +an aggressive task, has made for herself a place and a name which have +eclipsed the glory of the old home. And so we forget the Church of the +Apostles, to which we owe so much.</p> +<p>But worse. How much did the Church of the East suffer, and how much does she +still suffer, by the overthrow of the empire by the Turks in 1453—by the +overthrow of the empire, and the domination of a powerful, unscrupulous, and +fanatical race, down through the 600 years succeeding! How would the Church in +these islands have stood such fiery trials? Would we have continued an +enterprising missionary Church through +<span class="pb" id="pg_17">[17]</span> +it all? It might be good for us to try to understand that, when a despotic +Sultan stands over you, allowing you to breathe on condition of no +proselytising, the conditions are not favourable to well advertised missionary +effort. All that can be done in such circumstances, and under such conditions, +is to hold fast to the faith, and let the light shine, which the Greek Church +actually does.</p> +<p>Since the tenth century, Russia stands to the credit of Greek +missionaries. Not that Russia can be considered much credit in the meantime by +the West; but the ground for hope in Russia is the Christian element that has +entered into her national life. And our Protestantism has not yet succeeded on +the same national scale in missionary effort, a fact which ought to incline us +to think less of the stagnation of the Greek Church. But why refer specially +to Russia as a product of Greek missionary effort? Would Rome, or the Church +of the Reformation in the West, be what they are to-day, but for the zeal and +devotion of that Church in bye-gone days?</p> +<div class="pb" id="pg_18">[18]</div> +<p>It is an easy matter for us in these days, with our national liberty and +recognition of the Christian faith; with the noble souls around us who are +the products of centuries of grace; with wealth, and all that Christian work +calls for to its aid, to look disparagingly upon the Church of the East, the +mother of us all, as she lies in sore straits despoiled of her splendour, and +trampled under the heel of the Turk. Well we know the theory of cross-bearing, +but, in comparison with the Church of the East from the very earliest down to +the present day, we know but little of its practice. Our laurels are not too +firmly knit upon our brows: let us take heed, and let us exercise the grace +of charity and a spirit of sympathy.</p> +<p>But our prejudices, which are, as usual, due to imperfect knowledge, culpable +or otherwise, charge this Church, which claims to be Orthodox, with being +heretical in doctrine and worship. To put the common view, this Church, which +is the repository of Apostolic doctrine, and from which we, in common with +others, have derived, has, along with the truth, a large admixture of error, +<span class="pb" id="pg_19">[19]</span> +which renders her dangerous and to be avoided.</p> +<p>We, who plume ourselves on the orthodoxy of our doctrines and purity of +worship, have a remarkable facility for detecting and magnifying the errors of +others: of creating them where they do not exist, and of exaggerating them +where they do. This facility has this advantage, that it keeps our eyes away +from ourselves and from the errors which are nearer home. Like the beams of +the winter sun which have little warmth in them, the line of our vision is +somewhat oblique.</p> +<p>This is a subject much too large to occupy our attention to any extent here. +It may be enough to remark in regard to the major charges, that nowhere does +the Eastern Church address worship, either to the Mother of our Lord, or to +the saints and angels. They are venerated and invoked, but worshipped, never. +Worship, as we understand it, is addressed to the Triune God, and to Him +alone. This is a rather dangerous subject to touch, and this is not the place +to safely approach it; but it may suffice to say that we might be a +<span class="pb" id="pg_20">[20]</span> +great deal the better, and none the worse, and it might be comforting and +strengthening in times of affliction and trial, to realise more than we do, +that our Lord wore our flesh when He sojourned with us on the earth, and that +He derived His humanity from Mary. We might thus even be induced to use Her +name with greater veneration and affection than have yet characterised our +references to Her, when these have had to be made, and so aid the fulfilment +of Her own prophecy, “Behold, from henceforth, all generations shall call me +blessed.” And might it not be good for us to remember that there <i>are</i> saints +and angels, and that we are “compassed about with so great a cloud of +witnesses?” Who doubts the fact? Do not they who tacitly ignore the +existence of the Blessed Dead?</p> +<p>If any of the hymns contained in this volume should touch the heart of anyone +who reads them, or, better still, at any future time, sings them, may he, as +he remembers the source from which they have come, think reverently and +sympathetically of the struggling Church of the East.</p> +</div> +<div id="hymns" title="Hymns"> +<div class="pb" id="pg_21">[21]</div> +<h3>HYMNS FROM THE EAST</h3> +<div id="morning" title="Morning"> +<div class="pb" id="pg_23">[23]</div> +<h3>MORNING</h3> +<div id="h01" title="Now, God of Light, the morn appears"> +<div class="pb" id="pg_25">[25]</div> +<h5>I</h5> +<div class="verse"> +<p class="t0">Now, God of Light, the morn appears,</p> +<p class="t">And life revives, and beauty glows;</p> +<p class="t0">The night has gone with all its fears,</p> +<p class="t">And lo!

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> |
