Overview

Excerpt from The Choice: In Two Parts; Part I. Containing Psalms and Hymns, Part II. Containing Spiritual Songs; Designed for Public and Private Worship There is in the hymns of Mr. Wesley one excellence, of which I cannot speak in terms of approbation too strong. It consists in his personal addresses to God. He does not speak about him merely, but addresses him in humble prayer, earnest pleading - and sends up his hymns directly to him in strains of lofty praise. It is this that gives his compositions that unction, which, operating as a charm on the congregation whilst singing, kindles in them the fervour of devotion without their knowing why. Trans ported by-the poet to the throne of God, they feel awed into reverence by the Majesty on high. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
