Gosanka Poems Revised
御 讃歌集(改訂版)昭和26年5月28日

 
Preface


  This collection of poems for use in services is a newly revised edition of the collection that I published in August 1948. That collection was published when God's work was carried out under the name of the Japan Kannon Church, but now that the name of the work is Church of World Messianity (Sekai Meshiya Kyo), there are many poems that are not appropriate. The previous volume was also rather hastily produced and it has many points that did not meet my expectations, so I have especially taken care on this volume. I have conscientiously worked on this volume, so it is a completely new work.
  Since antiquity, one of Japan's unique literary forms has been the waka poem. Waka poems have a mystical power, and difficult topics that cannot be described even in ten thousand words, may be readily expressed in thirty-one syllables. Waka poetry has an uncanny power to move others. For these reasons, when I have the time, I compose poems of my impressions, about faith, about God and the divine, together with descriptions of emotions and nature. From these poems, I have selected the verses that appear in this volume. I am not a professional poet so my compositions are not very polished, and I have composed what has naturally occurred to me. I am sure that my intentions and feelings will be easy for everyone to understand, and because of their high level of character, the power of speech that they manifest will naturally affect and deepen the faith of those who recite these poems morning and evening.

はしがき

 この讃歌集は、昭和二十三年八月出版したものを、今回改訂版として、新たに編集したものである。というのは、以前のは日本観音会当時著作したものである から、世界救世教となった今日では適切でない歌も多々あり、又以前の時は急いだ為、意に充たない点もあったので、今度は充分意を注いで、念入りに作ったも のであるから、面目一新した訳である。
 日本には古くから、独特の文芸として和歌があった。この和歌なるものは、不思議な力をもっていて、千言万語でも言い表わせない事を、僅か三十一文字で、 よくその意を表現する事が出来、予想外に人を動かす力がある。それらによって私は、時折詠んだ感想歌、道歌、神歌、抒情歌、叙景歌等の中から、自選集録し て出来たのがこの著である。私は専門的歌人ではないから、巧拙などは余り意とせず、あるがままの、自然に感じたものを詠んだのであるが、ただ意を用いた点 は、誰でも判り易い事、品位の高い事、言霊の妙を発揮した事等で、これを朝夕奉唱する事によって、自然によい影響を受け、信仰の深まるのは言う迄もない。
