Excerpt from Hymns for All Christians
This compilation is not intended to supplant any collection now in use, but rather to serve all Christians by putting in their hands a convenient manual, embracing all the best and most used Hymns of all branches of the Church of Christ.
Of other books, it must have been generally noticed that the larger are cumbered with very many hymns, which, because of their meter or their lack of poetical or devotional worth, are never used. The smaller compilations are either sectarian or carelessly made, without regard to the wants of Christians generally, and apparently with no high standard of excellence.
In this book the classification has been made according to the apostolic category of Hymns, and Spiritual Songs, and Psalms.
