Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs: Original and Selected

Excerpt from Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs: Original and Selected

Our brethren, in collective bodies as well as in private circles, have expressed a desire for a larger compilation of Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs, as well as for a greater variety of subjects. To meet their wishes, and to redeem our promises, we have now modified and enlarged our Hymn Book, and subjected it to a severe revisal. We have spent much time and reflection upon the subject, and have examined the best Psalmody of Protestant Christendom in our own country, with very considerable care and attention. We flatter ourselves that we have in this volume the cream of the most evangelical and scriptural poetic compositions now extant, and on such a variety of subjects and occasions as will meet all the wants and circumstances of the Christian community, as individuals, families, and congregations.
