What reading level is Hymns That Have Helped book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We, who are born in Christ, A people pure from stain, Praise we our God again, Lord of our Peace !
25— ''ART THOU WEARY, ART THOU LANGUID?^' The Monastery of Mar Saba, founded before the He- gira of Mohammed, still stands on its ancient rock looking down upon the valley of the Kedron. Forty monks still inhabit the cells which cluster round the grave of St. Sabas, the founder, who died in 532, and still far below in the depths of the gorge the wolves and the jackals muster at morning light to ea...t tlie offal and refuse which the monks fling down below. In this monastic fortress lived in the eighth century a monk named Stephen, who, before he died, was gifted from on high with the supreme talent of embodying in a simple hymn so much of the essence of the Divine life that came to the world through Christ Jesus that in this last decade of the nineteenth century no hymn more profoundly touches the heart and raises the spir- its of Christian worshippers. Dr. Neale paraphrased this song of Stephen the Sabaite, so that this strain, originally raised on the stern ramparts of an outpost of Eastern Christendom already threatened with sub- mersion beneath the flood of Moslem conquest, rings with ever increasing volume of melodious sound through the whole wide world to-day.
