hymnist

As in a thousand other partnerships of hymnist and musician, Dr. Rankin was fortunate in his composer.

Ephraem was the greatest teacher of his time in the Syrian Church, and her most prolific and able hymnist.

He was no hymnist, though he did now and then venture into sacred metre.

The greatest Lutheran hymnist of the seventeenth century, and perhaps of all time, was Paul Gerhardt.

Next to Gerhardt, there is no German hymnist whose name is so frequently found in hymn-books today as that of Schmolck.
