"International Lesson Hymnal, 1879" is a collection of hymns compiled for use in Sunday schools and other religious educational settings. Reflecting the late 19th-century emphasis on standardized curricula, these hymns were chosen to complement the International Sunday School Lessons, a widely adopted program of study.
The hymnal provides a snapshot of the popular sacred music of the era, showcasing themes of faith, devotion, and Christian living. It offers insight into the musical tastes and spiritual concerns of American Protestants during a period of rapid social and religious change. This volume will appeal to historians of religious music, scholars of American religious history, and anyone interested in the traditions of Christian hymnody.
