Publisher's Synopsis
Gathered together in this collection are some of the finest examples of the rich heritage of 19th-century American hymnody, fashioned into musically creative settings that paint exquisite portraits of earthly sorrow, redeeming grace and abiding love. For worship or concert programming, congregations, audiences and performers will be transported to a simpler time in our history when the ever-present love of God and the promise of a heavenly reward enwrapped every facet of life.
