Spurgeon’s Own Hymn Book

Spurgeon’s Own Hymn Book

Formerly titled Our Own Hymn-Book: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Public, Social, and Private Worship

Charles Haddon Spurgeon was passionate about congregational worship. Arising from devout affection, the frustration he found while using the the compilations of hymns available in his day spurred him to compile this selection of hymns for use in his congregation.

Over 1,000 psalms, hymns and spiritual songs include not only direct praise, but doctrine, experience and exhortation, enabling the saints to edify one another in their singing. Cross–references to Spurgeon’s other works ensure that this will be a valuable addition to any library.
