==General information==

===Publication===
[[John Newton]]'s book ''The Companion to the Pilgrim'' is the composer's second collection of sacred music: the title refers to that of his first book, ''The Pilgrim''. The title page of the work describes it as 'Containing Thirty Psalm Tunes, an Anthem, a Funeral Piece, Three Occasional Pieces, and a Dismission, composed and arranged for 4 voices, with the Harmony Condensed for the Organ or Piano Forte, by John Newton, Author of the Pilgrim, &c. Nottingham.'

The title page indicates that the work was entered at Stationers' Hall, and that its price was 6s 6d. The imprint reads 'London, Published for the Author by J. Hart, 109, Hatton Garden _ may be had of the Author & of any Book & Music Seller.'

The publication is not dated, but referring to the copy at shelfmark B.464., the catalogue of the British Library gives it a date of [1839].

The work was published by subscription, and is prefaced by a list of the subscribers.

{{PubDatePlace|1839|for the Author by J. Hart, 109 Hatton Garden, London|&nbsp;}}
===Description of contents===
The collection consists of 31 strophic hymn tunes (one of which, the Sunday school hymn ''They are blest, and blest for ever'', has a hallelujah chorus to be sung after each of the three verses, and is apparently counted among the 'occasional pieces' listed on the title page), four set-pieces (through-composed settings of metrical texts) and an anthem.

The music is laid out in full score with the parts in the order (identified in the first piece in the book) Tenor - Alto - Treble - Bass. The treble (air) and bass are bracketed together, with small notes on these staves filling out the harmony of a keyboard accompaniment (labelled 'Organ' in the first piece in the book). Both Tenor and Alto parts are printed in the treble clef an octave above sounding pitch.

One of the hymn tunes, the tune 'Gratification' for ''Lo, he comes in clouds descending'', is attributed to George Dean (who is also listed as a subscriber to the publication): the rest of the book appears to be Newton's own work.
