The motive of this book is to bring together in one convenient volume some of the best devotional verse the English language affords, and thus to make available to present day Christians a rich spiritual heritage which the greater number of them for various reasons do not now enjoy. The book includes works by Isaac Watts, Oliver Wendell Holmes, F.W. Faber, Milman, Shirley, Wesley, Rossetti, Gerhardt, Pollock, Tate, Brady, Tersteegen, Ware, Nicolai, Bonar and others.
Both intimate and exhilarating, 'The Christian Book of Mystical Verse' is a book for anyone who seeks to worship God, and who finds the rich language of Christians of old a great help in that endeavor.
