Excerpt from Religion in Song: Or Studies in the Psalter IN a series on The Humanism of the Bible the Psalter can surely claim a place; it is one of the greatest human documents, preserving for us one of the most important links between Hebrew Religion and the Christian Faith. However much difference of Opinion there may be as to the date of particular psalms, it is clear that as a whole the book stands between the earliest histories and sermons and the later Jewish non-canonical literature. At a time when the Jewish Church concentrated much energy on law and ritual, it expressed the more spiritual side of religion, and bears testimony to a deepening of personal religious experience. It is based upon the revelations of the past, but it speaks out of a living present, and bears witness to a living God crying, To-day if ye would hear His voice.

Excerpt from The Song of Ascent: A Sermon, Preached on the Third of April, 1825, Being the Fourteenth Anniversary of the Dedication of the Second Presbyterian Church in Charleston, S. C In the foregoing remarks, we have explained to you the meaning of the title prefixed to the Psalm, from which our text is selected, as well as to fourteen others. This title is a song of degrees. The Hebrew should have been rendered a song of ascent or going up. For we have great reason to believe, notwithstanding the apparent inappropriateness of part of these Psalms to that purpose, that they were metrical compositions, either intended, or set apart, for the ceremony of one of the annual ascents of the tribes.

Excerpt from Gates Into the Psalm-Country This volume is not intended as a critical treatise. It is for the closet rather than for the study: for the average Bible-reader rather than for the scholar. The several chapters are, as the title imports, merely gates, opening here and there into this wonderful Psalm-region, and leading to outlooks from which, it is hoped, readers may catch glimpses of the ineffable beauty and richness of this land of sacred song, and be stimulated to longer journeys and to more minute researches.

Excerpt from The Choice: In Two Parts; Part I. Containing Psalms and Hymns, Part II. Containing Spiritual Songs; Designed for Public and Private Worship There is in the hymns of Mr. Wesley one excellence, of which I cannot speak in terms of approbation too strong. It consists in his personal addresses to God. He does not speak about him merely, but addresses him in humble prayer, earnest pleading - and sends up his hymns directly to him in strains of lofty praise. It is this that gives his compositions that unction, which, operating as a charm on the congregation whilst singing, kindles in them the fervour of devotion without their knowing why. Trans ported by-the poet to the throne of God, they feel awed into reverence by the Majesty on high. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
