The Mission Band Hymnal (1879)

By Emilie S Coles

Book Overview

The Mission Band Hymnal is a book of hymns compiled by Emilie S. Coles and published in 1879. It is designed for use by mission bands, which were groups of young people who gathered to learn about and support missionary work around the world. The hymns in the book are meant to inspire and encourage mission band members in their work, and many of them have a global focus, reflecting the international scope of missionary efforts. The book includes traditional hymns, as well as newer songs written specifically for mission bands. It also includes a section of responsive readings, which were meant to be read aloud by groups during worship services. Overall, The Mission Band Hymnal is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian missionary work and the role of music in religious communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
