Songs of Glory: Stories of 300 Great Hymns and Gospel Songs

"Songs of Glory is a remarkable compilation of hymns, ranging from English translations of Latin hymns of the early church to contemporary Christian songs of this decade. Each of the 300 selections begins with the first stanza of the hymn and is followed by a story. The stories, containing little-known, pertinent information, describe the occasions or experiences that prompted the writing of the hymns and the individuals who wrote, arranged, recorded, and preserved them."--Publisher's description
