Then Sings My Soul by Robert Morgan is a compilation of 150 hymns, sung during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, as well as patriotic hymns and other well known hymns. This wonderful book includes not only the hymns, but the sheet music for piano and the wonderful history behind each hymn.
I love this compilation book and highly recommend it to anyone who grew up singing or playing hymns in church. The front and back cover include bookmark flaps to keep your place. The book is laid out with the hymn on the left, exactly as you would see it in a church hymnal, and the history on the right. The historical information includes the date written, scripture reference, information on the author and events taking place at the time each was written. There is an index in the back for quick lookup of your favorite hymns.
Looking through this book was very nostalgic for me. It holds all the beloved songs I grew up singing in church, the Christmas hymns that we sang each year, and songs my great grandmother would sing to me while playing her little keyboard.
Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee is by far my favorite hymn and I have been singing it to my son since he was born to comfort him. Having the verses, sheet music and history of the hymns I now sing to my son is a treasure.
I highly recommend this book as a gift for anyone who enjoys music!
