Terry wrote: ‘Of all forms of church music, the one which seems to have wielded an influence out of all proportion to its intrinsic worth is the vernacular hymn.’ [Terry's] genuine interest in vernacular hymnody and congregational music…was to culminate in the creation of The Westminster Hymnal of 1912.
