Book Description

Excerpt from Hymns of Zion, With Appropriate Music: Designed as an Aid to Devotion in Families, Social Circles, and Meetings for Public Worship Many persons of piety and good taste in literature, have lamented the prosaic and inelegant style of most of the hymns and spiritual songs in general use. Watts, Rippon, the Wesleys, and other devout men, have undoubted claims to our grateful regard for their lyrical compositions - but we should not so reverence their labors as to forego the advantages of improvement.
