Originally
published
in
1920,
this
classic
has
been
a
standard
in
Baptist
churches
for
many
years.
"The
National
Baptist
Publishing
Board
began
publication
of
hymns,
tunes
and
songbooks
as early
as
1897
...Pastors,
deacons,
prayer
meeting
leaders
and
other
church
members
continued
to call
for a
Baptist
Hymn
Book of
the old
style
pocket
edition,
as each
member
desired
to have
his or
her own
pocket
hymn
book,
and
select
and sing
the old
meter
songs of
his or
her
choice.
The
publishing
Board
has not
attempted
to
publish
the
National
Baptist
Hymn
Book
as a new
collection
of
songs,
but felt
that in
attempting
to
respond
this
call
precludes
the
attempt
of
offering
any new
songs
whatsoever,
but to
select
from
among
the old
the dear
to the
peoples
heart.
We therefore send forth the pocket edition of the National Baptist Hymn book with the earnest hope that it will meet the long felt want among Baptist Churches and religious worshipers."
Hoping that every Baptist will give this book a hearty endorsement, and that the pastor will co-operate with the board in bringing it before their congregation, thereby giving it the circulation that the National Baptist Hymn Book has received throughout America, Asia, Africa and the Islands of the Sea."
