Famous Hymns Of The World
Author: Sutherland

the I ORIGIN AND THEIR ROMANCE f BY WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY f , HENRY C. McCOOK, D. D,, LL. D,, Sc. D, NBW IBDMICK A. STOKES 1 COMPACT IUBUMHKIl. S TO THE MEMORY OF THOSE WHO HAVE LEFT TO US THE PRICELESS LEGACY OF TIIKSE IMMORTAL HYMNS AND TO ALL THOSE TO WHOM THESE HYMNS AUK DEAR THIS VOLUME IS AFFECTIONATELY BY THE AUTHOR Bleated be God for t... more »hese hymns of penitence and fulfill, and lovo I They renew within us the fervor of the days when nt th Oro w flrst saw the light, and the burdens of our homta rolled away and they bring us as penitents anew to the pierced fflefc o Him Who died to wash away our sins Bev. fft-oTB W, TOKOIMS, 8 T. D, Hymns are the exponent of tho Innermost pioty of th Ohuwh. They are the jewels whloh the Ohuroh has worn, the peftrlii, the dia monds, the precioua stones formed Into aimilots more potent ngsibiiit orrow ivnd sndneM than the most f amou nhann of ih wlwd or mnpiolan. AuJ he who known the way that hyidUM flowed, known where tho blood of true plofcy ran, nnd cut trivou tta volns and iirtrle to the roty heart. Hsun Y VA FOREWORD URING the year 1905 a series of articles on twelve of our most popular hymns appeared in The Delineator and attracted far-reaching attention. In accordance with a very generally expressed desire, they are now presented in an enlarged and more permanent form. In the course of preparing these arti cles for publication, the author wrote to a number of prominent persons, minis ters for the most part, submitting a list of hymns, which had been carefully selected, and asking them for incidents or for way personal experiences which they themselves or their Mends had had m connection with these favourite songs FOREWORD of the heart, the desire being to intro duce as much original and helpful matter as possible. The interest manifested in the re sponses was very gratifying and encour aging but while many kindly sent contributions, by far the larger number replied, in substance I regret to state that I have had no personal experiences in connection with these hymns. A distinguished minister doubtless gives the true explanation. He writes I can heartily sympathise with you in your efforts to secure fresh and original matter. The fact is, our ministers, as a rule, usually sing the hymns so per functorily, and so utterly thoughtless of practical results, that there are really few known incidents occurring outside of the special meetings held by evan gelists in which songs play so prominent and valuable a part n The incidents are given as they were received, although, as with those relative FOREWORD to Jesus, Lover of my Soul, there is, at times, lack of agreement. Apart from these incidents, for which, of course, the author cannot claim responsibility, a painstaking effort has been made at accuracy of statement. For the most part, the incidents are new, the usual stock stories which appear in books of a similar character having been, to a large extent, excluded. Each article has its own peculiar in terest. In some cases it seemed best to make much of the life of the composer of the hymn in others, the hymn it self and its incidents received the most attention. The matter given contains material enough for a sermon on each hymn and the hope is expressed that the read ing of this volume will suggest to many ministers a series of sermons on thi most interesting subject In preparing the articles which ap peared in The Delineator for this more FOREWORD durable form, much valuable matter has been inserted, and several popular hymns have been added. The author is indebted to all those who have contributed to these pages to Mr. Charles M. Alexander, Mr, W. H. Doane, and Mr. E. O. Excel for copyright privileges to Dr. McCook for his excellent Introductory, and to Mr. Harry Pringle Ford for valuable literary assistance, to all of whom he publicly returns his grateful thanks...
