The message inside the CD cover reads...
The Christian faith has many legacies. Among them is that, of not the least among them, the great hymns. Each generation comes with its songs of praise and worship, yet these wonderful hymns of the past seem to live on and on. Partly the reason is their inspired lyrics, many taken directly from scripture.

The great hymns often come from a deep well of human experience and God-given inspiration. Others were composed out of great joy and praise to the "God of our salvation". Many hymns were used of the Lord to bring wayward sinners to repentance. Most were sung as an integral part of corporal worship.

The great hymns of the church have stood the test of time. They will always be revered and sung as each new generation comes to know and love the music that previous generations have passed down.

This CD is a compilation of some of the greatest hymns of the church. They were sung without fancy arrangements and in their original SATB (soprano/alto/tenor/bass) format right out of the hymn book. Most of the songs and hymns on this album are sung as a great a cappella choir with little or no organ arrangement.

Enjoy singing these familiar hymns along with the choir and even be introduced from time to time to hymns you did not previously know. In the entire five-volume set of the Golden Hymn Collection, you will have a library of over 100 of the world's greatest hymns, a library that we trust will bring you many hours of inspiration and blessing.
