By Isaac Baker Woodbury

"The Lute of Zion: A Collection of Sacred Music Designed for the Use of the Methodist Episcopal Church" is a historical compilation of hymns and sacred tunes. This collection, intended for congregational and personal use, features a blend of new compositions from leading foreign and American composers alongside traditional melodies. Compiled by Hiram Mattison and Isaac Baker Woodbury, this volume aimed to provide a comprehensive musical resource for the Methodist Episcopal Church, reflecting the musical tastes and spiritual practices of the mid-19th century.

Including a concise elementary course of instruction, it serves as both a practical hymnal and a guide to vocal music. "The Lute of Zion" offers valuable insights into the history of American religious music and the devotional life of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
