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