"The Christian Year" by John Keble is a series of poems written in 1827 for the Sundays and feasts of the Church of England's liturgical calendar. This devotional work became the most popular volume of verse in the nineteenth century, with over 375,000 copies sold by 1873. Several of its poems became beloved hymns.
