Hymns for Church and Home (Classic Reprint)

This book offers a varied collection of metrical psalms and hymns that have endured over centuries. The collection draws from many sources such as the Book of Common Prayer, the canons of notable writers, and enriching inclusions from later centuries. Many well-known hymns like Addison's and Wesley's are included, as are other lesser-known masterpieces from poets like Cowper, Logan, and Barbauld. The editor, with the help of a committee of religious leaders, has endeavoured to create a diverse compendium of sacred songs that will appeal to the tastes of many types of devout readers.Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
