THE SINGING CHURCH _The Hymns It Wrote and Sang_ By EDMUND S. LORENZ

To this author the hymn is not a dry abstraction but an experience of intense reality—of those realities (as of God, Christ, sin, salvation, divine care, eternal life) to which human hearts have responded throughout the ages. His study makes full recognition of the personal elements in hymn development. The singers whose vision of spiritual things is fresh and keen stand out in every age, expanding the permanent content of church hymnody.

Here is indeed a book which will set the Church to singing once more, in an effort to proclaim a new awareness of the presence of God—that same awareness which stirred the composers of our greatest hymns. Dr. Lorenz makes visible to us the golden stairway of great hymn writers, shining at every level of its ascent with the glory of the Christian faith.
