Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hymns for Social Meetings
Some of these songs were sung by the pious mothers who rocked the cradles of our country's most honored names. They were almost the only Psalmody used by the cross-bearing founders of our oldest Ame rican Churches. Instead of regretting the publicity we now give to many of these songs, our only regret on the subject is, that we have not found more of the same class, and that our own hearts do not more joyfully vibrate to the strains they breathe.
