Description
Book SynopsisCharles Haddon Spurgeon was passionate about congregational worship. Arising from devout affection, the frustration he found while using the the compilations of hymns available in his day, spurred him to compile this selection of hymns for use in his congregation. Over 1,000 psalms, hymns and spiritual songs include not only direct praise, but doctrine, experience and exhortation, enabling the saints to edify one another in their singing. Cross–references to Spurgeon’s other works ensure that this will be a valuable addition to any library.
This beautiful gift edition includes
- a foreword by Spurgeon scholar Tom Nettles
- added Spurgeon essay ‘How Shall We Sing?’
- elegant hardback cloth bound cover
Trade ReviewPersons frequently ask me how to get started reading poetry. Reading the rich texts found in this hymnal is a pretty good way to learn how to read and enjoy poetry, but it is an even better way to feed your soul with these beautiful Psalms and hymns.
