Book Description

Excerpt from Home Song Book: Prepared for the Use of the Children of the Home for the Friendless This little volume has been compiled expressly for the children of the Home. It comprises a portion of the Hymns and Songs that have become most familiar to many of the dear ones while with us, who are now scattered abroad in the wide, wide world, and from whom we often receive the request that some of the Songs they used to sing at the Home may be sent to them. As these Songs are associated in their young minds with the first impressions received in our schoolroom - with beloved teachers, helpers, and friends met here; with Sabbath hours, festal days, Christian counsel, lessons of love and kindness, parting scenes, and all the hopes, fears, woes, and joys that early childhood knows when marked by strange reverses - it has been thought best to print them in the present form, irrespective of other merit than may be found in this consideration.
