Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Songs of the Spirit, Hitherto Unpublished Poems, and a Few Old Favorites
Sea, and still others in the Far East during his first missionary journey; while the fitting conclusion to this volume is Safe Home, written as he neared harbor after girdling the South American continent. Many of his finest hymns were produced under the inspiration of the preparation of his great sermons, and were sung to his own music from manuscript on Sunday mornings in the Gospel Tabernacle, New York City. For years he rarely failed to send his friends a Christmas greeting or New Year message in song; nor did Commencement Day pass at his beloved school, the Missionary Institute, N yack, without a new Class Song. The last hymn which he gave us, The Whole Bible to the Whole Wide World, was written for the Class of 1919 after he had given up all active ministry.
This collection is now sent forth with the prayer that the sound of a voice that is still may be heard by many old and new friends. He has entered the great company of our forerunners in faith, yet in his songs He, being dead, yet speaketh.
