The Hopedale Collection of Hymns and Songs: For the Use of Practical Christians (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Hopedale Collection of Hymns and Songs: For the Use of Practical Christians

In abbreviating, by the omis sion of stanzas, I have taken still greater liberties without compunction. The hymns of this Col lection, with a few exceptions, are comparatively short. Such are generally more acceptable in the present day, both to singers and listeners. But it is unnecessary to multiply words. All who par take in the spirit of Practical Christian reform and progress will gladly accept this humble production, with a generous allowance for its imperfections, until time and circumstances shall bring forth another of higher excellence.
