Book Description

Excerpt from Hymns for Schools and Families This volume is the result of an endeavor to supply a long acknowledged want in Friends' schools and families, of a collection of Hymns that might be placed Without hesitation in the hands of young persons, inculcating Scriptural truth without admixture, and Whilst clearly testifying to the freeness and fulness of the Gospel, avoiding the use of expressions that tend to divert them from the One Source of light and availing knowledge. There can be little difference of Opinion among persons of religious convictions, as to the desirableness of storing the minds of children and others with Scrip tural truth, as conveyed in the metrical language of good Hymns. Most minds are known to retain senti ments so expressed, more readily than when they are presented in unmeasured prose; and on this account we have reason for thankfulness, that so many sentences of the Holy Scriptures are, even in their translation, clothed in such language.
