Commentaire :

Here are the full original texts of 150 of the best-loved hymns in the English language, from the time of the early Church to the twentieth century. Each is accompanied by a fascinating commentary, giving biographical details of the author, such.as the Calvinist creator of 'Rock of Ages' who once calculated that the average human sins 2,522,880,000 times; notes on the circumstances in which the hymn was written; and variant versions, including the First World War infantry adaptation of 'The Church's One Foundation'.

‘150 hymns, each prefaced by an urbanely written and agreeably subjective commentary ... with a wealth of anecdote and a few ribald parodies ... This charming book should be required reading for all responsible for choosing hymns in church, and recommended bedside reading for the eight million viewers of Songs of Praise’ - The Times Literary Supplement
