Lyra Davidica

The Lyra Davidica is a collection of hymns and tunes first published in 1708. The volume was published by John Walsh (printer). The collection was one of many containing hymns translated (mostly) from German, at a time when Anglicanism was heavily influenced by German evangelical pietism.

Only surviving melody
One well-known hymn from the collection is the Easter hymn "Jesus Christ Is Risen Today", whose melody is the only one which has survived since the original publication in 1708. == Impact ==
Impact
Philip Pullman named Lyra Belacqua, the heroine of his trilogy His Dark Materials, after the Lyra Davidica. == References ==
