PREFACE.

AT

Ta Meeting of the GENERAL SYNOD OF THe Church of IRELAND in May, 1887, it was resolved that a Committee should be appointed to prepare a new edition of the Church Hymnal, and that the Committee should act in co-operation with a Committee appointed for the same purpose by the Association for Promoting Christian Knowledge.

These joint Committees held constant Meetings until May, 1891, when they recommended the General Synod that 167 Hymns approved by them should be published as an Appendix. This Report was adopted by the Synod in May, 1891, and the additional Hymns were permitted to be used.
