The Essex Hall Hymnal (1893)

By British And Foreign Association

Book Overview

The Essex Hall Hymnal (1893) is a collection of hymns compiled by the British and Foreign Unitarian Association. The book contains over 500 hymns, both traditional and contemporary, written by various authors such as John Greenleaf Whittier, William Wordsworth, and Samuel Longfellow, among others. The hymns are arranged according to themes such as worship, praise, love, and peace, and are accompanied by musical scores. The book was intended for use in Unitarian churches and was named after the Unitarian headquarters in London, Essex Hall. The hymnal's purpose was to provide a diverse range of hymns that reflected the liberal and progressive values of Unitarianism, including social justice, equality, and religious tolerance. The Essex Hall Hymnal remains a significant contribution to Unitarian worship and music, and its influence can be seen in the hymnals of other liberal religious traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
