Many hymnologists feel that most contemporary hymnists reveal a definite lack of understanding and appreciation of the poetic forms involved in hymnology. In this book, Dr Lovelace provides a study of poetic forms as they are related to the expression of feeling and mood in hymn texts. He shows the best examples of each type and the reason behind the selection of this type as a vehicle for the thought of the text. He presents a straight-to-the-point guide to hymns - their structure and meaning.
