Borrowing from the Hebraic tradition of psalmody, latter Christian music
composers and musicians derived their songs and hymns from their faith
experiences with God and the community. Apart from their melodious
distinctiveness, and the universal application of the lyrics, the
respective backgrounds of these hymns make them more relevant and more
applicable to our present day situations. This book lists seventy two
hymns and songs and exposes the rich heritage and tradition of many
well-known Christian hymns and gospel songs.
