Synopsis

Excerpt from Songs of the Soul: Gathered Out of Many Lands and Ages

The work has been a 'great delight to me. With it has come a sense that the wants and utterances of the soul have been the same in all climes and all ages, and that God's grace was as rich and full and free eighteen hundred years ago as it is to-day. Side by side go up the plaintive utterances of the captive queen, the passionate cry of the earth-stained soul, the triumphant chant of the redeemed, the stirring call of the soldier, the deep and solemn music of the mitred abbot, the noble strains of the cloistered monk, the clear, sweet melody of the martyred girl; and, swelling as they rise, they blend into a grand chorus of love and of thanksgiving that shall one day shake the skies. The work has been itself its own reward but if any soul be touched and drawn to a higher life, any weak heart lifted up and strengthened, it will be to me an unspeakable joy.

About this title

Product Description:

Excerpt from Songs of the Soul: Gathered Out of Many Lands and Ages The favor with which these sacred songs have been received, encourages and justifies the publishers in giving them to the public in another form. It was always to me a source of regret that the expensive style of the previous editions made the collection inaccessible to thousands whom I desire to reach and cheer. From many, the most precious testimonials have come to me, of the comfort, peace, and joy derived from the possession of these poems; and I count it among the greatest blessings of my life to have had a hand in giving to the Christian public this collection, much of which will be immortal and beloved in the Church of God. Again I commend it as containing many of the noblest hymns that mortal tongues have sung, and my prayer is that they who read them may sing with me the everlasting song.
