Excerpt from Song Pilgrimage Around and Throughout the World: Embracing a Life of Song Experiences, Impressions, Anecdotes, Incidents, Persons, Manners, Customs, Sketches, and Illustrations Throughout Twenty Different CountriesThe author, in the following pages has attempted a narrative of his sorriewhat eventful life. From childhood providence seems to have appointed him to the service of song. His earliest recollections are precious memories of praise to the dear Redeemer, sung by a beloved mother, and hymns of gladness, as When the Christian dispensation was announced by the angels of heaven to the shepherds on the judean hills, have echoed through his soul from the morning of his life until his maturer years, making the gospel itself a never ceasing song of delight.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
