Excerpt from Hymns for the Use of the Methodist Episcopal Church: With Tunes for Congregational Worship It will be observed that we have used several tunes in the minor key.

They need not be confined to grave subjects, but may he used with the best effect to express sentiments of thanksgiving and praise. They were so used by our people for many years after the introduction of Methodism into this country.
