EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite image showcases the original manuscript of the beloved English hymn "Christians Awake," penned by the revered poet and hymnwriter John Byrom as a heartfelt Christmas gift for his cherished daughter, Dolly, in the year 1745. The manuscript, now a precious relic of musical and religious history, is a testament to the deep bond between father and child and the enduring power of music as a means of expression and devotion. John Byrom, a man of many talents, was not only a poet and hymnwriter but also an accomplished lawyer and calligrapher. His compositions, including "Christians Awake," continue to resonate with audiences around the world, making him a significant figure in the annals of English literature and hymnody. The manuscript, which is housed in the John Rylands Library in Manchester, England, is a beautiful example of Byrom's masterful penmanship. The words of the hymn, which call on Christians to rise and rejoice in the birth of Christ, are written in elegant script, adorned with intricate flourishes and decorative elements. The image of the manuscript, with its rich history and artistic merit, offers a glimpse into the past and the deep connection between the creative arts, religion, and family. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of music and poetry to inspire, uplift, and bring people together, even as the passage of time continues to unfold.
