Excerpt from The New Complete Standard Singer: For Sabbath Schools, Public Worship, and Special Services

Besides these Gems (that age will only intensify in value), this book contains many new compositions prepared not merely to add to the list of books already extant, but rather to reach and rescue human souls by the charms of the Gospel.

Mere sentiment in poetry and jingle Of sound, however pleasing to the ear, have been avoided, for the sake of truth in tones, that are at once delightful and dignified.

It will be observed that this work is arranged in topical departments, a feature which will commend itself to all lovers of order. Choristers and Leaders will find this arrangement one of great convenience. As any phase of christian experience can be readily supplemented by a song, there is always a double power in a tune expressive of the words and this power is doubled again when the words are made to emphasize and re-echo the theme of the moment.
