Does your soul lift in song when you hear the first few bars of a favorite hymn? Robert Morgan's lifelong interest in hymns led him to discover the richness of the stories behind many of the best-loved hymns. Many of the stories also reflect the impact hymns have had on ordinary people as they read, heard, and sang the great hymns of the faith. One of the author's goals in writing these stories is to help people reacquaint themselves with these wonderful, old hymns and the importance of keeping the hymns as a vital and meaningful part of today's church. This book includes 150 devotional-style stories, complete with music and lyrics, and indexes by title, first line, and writer. - Back cover.
