Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Little Sunbeam: A Collection of Music, Consisting of Choruses, Quartettes, Trios, Chants, Etc.; For Sabbath Schools, &C
This little work is not designed, in any sense, to be a rival or cem petitor to any Sabbath School book, but a friendly Co-operater to all. It has been the wish of the Author to make'it a work of intrinsic value to every Sabbath School in America. In preparing this work he has aimed to seek for songs, as far as could be, that would impress the duty of cheerful submission to the Daily Cross, and the daily trials that are doubtless apportioned to each, as a part of needful discipline. Believ ing that it is not so much the number of the pieces named in the index, that contributes the desideratum, as the appropriateness of those that are presented, the Author has refrained from filling'occasional pages with words to be sung to tunes in other parts of the book. He has en deavored to furnish a small but valuable collection of Sabbath School Music, at such a price as to enable all Sabbath Schools to supply them selves with it, in addition to the regular Music Book already in use, with but tri?ing additional expense. It is believed that this plan will place this little work within the reach of all Classes of Sabbath Schools, par ticularly Mission Schools, and those of destitute regions; in fact, all who are unable to provide more costly ones. Every song will be found a gem. And it is prayerfully hoped that it may not only be a welcome guest, but may, indeed, under God, prove a 'f Sun-beam to warm the heart of every one with love to Christ, and be the means of leading them to Cling to that Rock which is higher than they.
