It is a comprehensive collection of stories about the hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the people who wrote and composed them. The book covers the history and background of each hymn, including the inspiration behind its creation, the life of the author or composer, and how the hymn has impacted the church and its members. The book also includes biographical sketches of some of the most prominent hymn writers and composers in the church's history, including Emma Smith, William W. Phelps, and John R. Sweney. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and significance of Latter-day Saint hymns and their creators.1939. With illustrations. The author's purpose is to tell the stories of some of the hymns of the Church and relate the circumstances as far as known, surrounding their origin. The stories are not written from the standpoint of a learned musician. No scientific analysis of music or song is undertaken, but rather they are the product of one who loves to sing the songs of Zion and desires to understand and assist others in understanding their origin and message. Pyper provides background information on both the song and the composers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
