Publisher's Synopsis
This book gives insight into many of the hymns we sing.

You will understand lines we sing such as "Here I raise my Ebenezer," "He hideth my soul in the cleft of The Rock," "Beulah Land," "Balm of Gilead did you borrow," "Sing the Song of Moses and The Lamb" and many more. This book also shows how history and culture have influenced the lyrics of the hymns and it provides explanations for words such as "barque," "beacon," "sheaves," "panoply" and many archaic words used in the hymns . Use this book to enrich your worship experience or as a study guide for Bible classes. A great tool for song leaders, choir directors, ministry leaders and preachers.
