Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rivulet: A Contribution to Sacred Song
Many of these hymns are for congregational use chie?y, none for such use only: and some are chie?y for the personal or home use of those that love the church. They are adapted for song as well as for perusal, hymns for both heart and voice. The book is, then, one of short Christian poems, to peruse, as I hope, for stimulus and solace, or to sing in family and social communion. It is a Rivulet: its verse purports to ?ow forth as one genuine expression of religious life, many such being both possible and desirable. It seeks in its individual course to afford such benefits as it may, and to augment a little that stream of Sacred Song which, that it may ever fertilise the Christian coun try and ever refresh its people, must be itself still fed with new supplies.
