This position which our beloved Brother Sankey holds before the whole Christian world fitted him to prepare such a volume as this valuable addition to Hymnology. It is the simple but sublime story of the quickening, converting and sanctifying power of sacred song. It adds a new and thrilling chapter to the triumphs of the Cross. It is a precious legacy by a faithful veteran of Jesus Christ to his fellow-soldiers in all lands who are battling for the cause and crown of the glorious Captain of our salvation, and who wait for His appearing.
