Picture this: you're humming 'It Is Well with My Soul' on a tough day, but do you know it was penned after the writer's four daughters drowned at sea? Books like Then Sings My Soul pull back the curtain on these moments, making every note hit harder.
In our playlist-driven world, those sturdy old hymns can feel like relics gathering dust. Yet they're the songs that steadied our grandparents through wars and losses, the ones that rise up when modern tunes fall flat. You've probably caught yourself reaching for them in quiet moments, craving that anchor of faith they provide.
Author Robert J. Morgan, a pastor who's led countless worship services, curates 150 of the world's greatest—from 'Amazing Grace' to 'Great Is Thy Faithfulness.' For each:
It's all indexed for quick lookups, whether you're prepping a sermon illustration or just curious about 'Holy, Holy, Holy.'
These aren't dry histories; they're emotional bridges to the saints who went before. Readers often say it transforms church singing—no more mumbling words by rote. Your voice gains conviction knowing the pain or joy behind the lines. It's strengthened weary hearts for generations, and it'll do the same for you.
Start your morning with one story over coffee. Share during family devotions—the kids love the drama. Song leaders, it's gold for choir warm-ups or bulletins. Even in small groups, flip to a hymn matching the theme and watch discussions ignite. At 300+ pages of inspiration, it's built for repeated visits, like a well-worn Bible.
Grab Then Sings My Soul and let these hymns speak afresh. Your worship will feel richer, your faith more rooted—in the voices of believers across centuries.
