Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hymns for Social Worship: Selected From Watts, Doddridge, Newton, Cowper, Steele, and Others
The following selection was occasioned by a demand for a Manual of Hymns adapted for use in neighborhood and other Social Meetings, em bracing individuals under'the various operations of the Holy Spirit; and by christians of different denominations whose efforts are in many cases happily united for the salvation of men. In its preparation the love of novelty and of change has been suppressed, while the most devout and spirit ual effusions of Watts, Newton, Cowper, Dod dridge, Steele, and others, adapted equally to the Iearned'and the unlearned, have been sought; and notwithstanding the variety of readings which have been extensively spread before the public, it is hoped that most christians will find the follow ing hymns in the same form in which they have committed many of them to memory, and been ao customed to employ them in their songs of praise.
