We British are not proud enough of our hymns. How many of us have sat cramped in our pews on a Sunday morning, praying less to God than that the vicar might announce permission to omit the starred verses of any hymn with more than three? And how many of us sigh when condemned (as it seems) to sit through a service of matins that resembles more a morning hymn-sandwich than a morning prayer? Oh, we of little faith! Only those of us who have at some point been cast into darkest Continental Europe, far from that green and pleasant land, can truly appreciate the glories of the English hymn and the homegrown singing of it. In southern Europe, the warbling of the Catholic congregations oft resembles more a wailing and gnashing of teeth, while in the North, the weight of Protestant guilt would seem to preclude anything louder than a mumble. |
