Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Songs of the Cross: For the Sabbath-School
IT has been with pleasure that the author has noted the call of the Sabbath-schools of the land for purer and more thoughtful hymns and for more solid and wearing music than have been given them in many of the Sabbath-school singing-books of the period. In preparing Songs of the Cross, he has endeavored to meet this call, and has spared no labor, trouble, or expense, to attain this desirable end. He has not forgotten that, while appropriate music very much deepens, yet the real impression upon the hearts and minds of the. Singers is made by the hymn, hence his constant endeavor has been to secure and use only such hymns as express some gospel truth or some pure emotion of the heart. While he has not completely realized his ideal, he yet believes that it has gone very far m that direction.
Something will be found for every occasion of interest. Christmas, New Years, Anniversary, Concerts, Funerals, Missionary Meetings, Temperance Meetings, etc.
