About the book
With something akin to a proper appreciation of the value of music in group and public worship, we have genuine happiness in presenting The Broadman Hymnal. If music is the universal language, and it is, hymns of confession, of praise, of petition, of hope, of comfort, of adoration, of consecration easily become the mediums through which all devout souls may join in giving expression to their deepest emotions. This volume is distinguised for its contents, for its facilities for the ready use of its contents, and for its substantial and beautiful workmanship. Here we have the stately, soul-stirring hymns dear to the hearts of all Christians, the best of more recent hymns, some of which make their initial appearance, and a number of very popular choruses. The indexes are so complete that a desired number may be located without inconvenience or delay. In size, paper, type, and binding, it meets the requirements of solidity and dignity. As we visualize multitudes of Christians of all names joining in soulful worship through the use of The Broadman Hymnal, it is not difficult to understand the satisfaction that is ours in having such a worthy bearer of our press name. - The Broadman Press, John L. Hill, Editor - Foreword.
