This was not unusual: in the nineteenth century, hymn singing played a central part of Anglican devotional life, and in the lives of most Protestant Christians.<\/p>\n<p>Hymns were a part of formal worship during Sunday services, but people also sung hymns at home. In 1898, many Anglicans would know by heart the words and tunes of many hymns, but they could also turn to books, including the Church Hymnal, published in 1886 with over 500 hymns.<\/p>\n<p>In his diary, Du Vernet mentions singing many hymns by name, including \u201cAlas and Did My Savior Bleed,&#8221; \u201cOnward Christian Soldiers,&#8221; &#8220;There\u2019ll be No Parting There,&#8221; \u201cNearer my God to Thee,&#8221; \u201cOnly Trust Him,&#8221; \u201cOh God Come and Take Me,&#8221; and \u201cJesus Bids Us Shine.&#8221;<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMusical Invasion<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nOne of his most interesting descriptions of hymn-singing occurs in his recounting of an interaction between Jeremiah Johnston and Tom Overcome, in which Jeremiah tried to resist the pressure of the visiting Archbishop Phair to sing a hymn when visiting Tom, who was not Christian. According to Du Vernet, \u201cMr. J. did not like to do this as it was not his custom to sing unless he knew the Indians wished it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Du Vernet knew the joy of singing hymns, but learned from Johnston that they could also be a musical form of invasion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christian Hymns Hymn Culture The singing of hymns is a regular refrain in Du Vernet\u2019s diary.
