The writers of our favorite hymns were not just happy, pious, and "old-fashioned" people. One of these hymns was written by a man who experienced a dramatic conversion from gang member to preacher, another by a man who lost his entire family in a sinking ship, and yet another by a woman who was discouraged in her work as a missionary. It is through these trials that these men and women of God were able to praise him from the depths of their aching hearts.
What do these "old" words mean, and do they have any value for us today? What do they reveal about God's character? This study will help you and your group learn more about the origins and lessons from these six classic hymns. Complete lyrics of each hymn are included.
