Excerpt from The Sailors Hymn Book: Being a Selection of the Beauties of Sacred Verse, by the Most Eminent Divines and of Original Compositions, Adapted to the Maritime World
It would have been easy to bring together some fifty or a hundred Hymns, adapted to Sailors, but the very increasing interest excited by various Maritime Institutions having justified the claim of Seamen to a complete Hymn Book, embracing every subject adapted to convey instruction and produce religious impressions, this plan has been chosen. When the work is finished, it will then be for a generous British Public to pronounce their decision on a scheme, designed with much care, to promote the best interests of seamen, and the highest glory of God.
