The Baptist Hymn Book

Description: From the Preface: THE most important subject that ever engaged the attention of men or angels, is the worship of the true and living God; it is that in which the saints are not only engaged while here in the house of their pilgrimage, but it is that in which they hope to be employed in the unclouded regions of glory... it has been the aim of the publisher of this book, to select only such Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs, as are in harmony with the spirit and truth of spiritual devotion. Such subjects have been selected, and such only as, in the judgment of the compiler, express the truth of God, and in a manner to shew forth the praises of Him who has called us out of darkness into his marvellous light. Such subjects generally as are addressed to God, in humble but grateful acknowledgment of his being, his goodness, and his great salvation, avoiding such addresses as are too frequently made to the unregenerated sinner, as being altogether out of place when used under the profession of worshiping God. The words of the song which John heard the redeemed sing were, “Great and marvellous are thy works. Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.” And such in substance, should be the theme of all the children of God. - Publisher (Gilbert Beebe) About the Revision: This revision was taken from the “First Stereotype Edition published in 1858”. All of the updates are outlined in the newly added “Foreword”. The biggest change is that the songs are now in a 2 column layout between each Topic. Binding: Hardback Paper Color: Cream
