Hymns are lasting expressions of faith and worship.
Hymns in German piety were written to serve as meditations and to teach individuals how to become better followers of Jesus.
This volume examines the thinking and influences which shaped the hymns which the Brethren chose to write and sing, revealing a great deal to the modern reader about their journey of faith and the spiritual progress of the movement from its beginnings to the present day.
Specific attention is given to examples of hymn texts which highlight the distinctive themes and characteristics of Brethren spirituality in the various eras of Brethren life and thought.
