Description
For centuries, hymns have carried people through all sorts of times. The messages of those trusted songs ring with all-new joy, comfort, and hope here in a delightful gift book featuring the hymn-inspired poetry of Helen Steiner Rice. Then Sings My Soul celebrates the familiar lyrics of forty-five cherished hymns plus the surprising stories behind them, like: * How "Be Still My Soul," the favorite hymn of Olympic runner Eric Liddell, fueled his athletic training and eventual career as a missionary to China. * How a woman, blinded in a childhood accident, brought vision to the church, writing more than 8,000 hymns in her life, including "Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine." These are the same hymns that Rice not only sang, but lived and wove into her inspirational writings. Packaged with beautiful photography, this lovely book is accompanied by a choral CD with more than an hour of choral renditions of Rice's—and the world's—most beloved hymns.
