These hymns were written by John Newton in Olney, England and were originally published in 1779. This collection includes John Newton’s contribution of 281 hymns. Some favorite hymns by John Newton are “Amazing Grace,” “Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken,” and “How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds.” To be faithful to John Newton's original intentions, this edition is uniform with the wording, punctuation, contractions and stanza formatting of the first edition "Olney Hymns" published by W. Oliver in 1779. Bible references are full text. Please note: The Olney Hymns (1779) were originally published without music. This edition is uniform with the first edition and contains no music. In those days hymns were sung using many different tunes that had the same meter. Music wasn’t commonly published in hymnbooks until well into the 1800’s.

The illustrative notes of Rev. Thomas Scott were compiled from the footnotes of an edition of "The Pilgrim’s Progress" published by John B. Perry in 1855. The notes of that two-part edition have been divided into chapters for easier reference. Each note is introduced with its anchor phrase from the text of the story. This edition also includes Thomas Scott’s Preface and Life of John Bunyan. "The Pilgrim’s Progress" was one of Scott’s favorite books and his extensive notes are sure to help anyone understand the symbolism and nuances of the allegory. [Thomas Scott’s aim is] “. . . fixing the precise meaning of those parts, which might most perplex the inquirer, and which seem to have most escaped notice, or divided the sentiments, of expositors; [and] to state and establish, compendiously but clearly, those doctrinal, practical, and experimental views of Christianity, which Mr. Bunyan meant to convey.”

The five sermons of Jonathan Edwards chosen for this edition have shown enduring popularity. "A Divine and Supernatural Light" contrasts having an intellectual knowledge against having a supernatural experiential knowledge of God. "The Justice of God and the Damnation of Sinners" is a discourse on why it is just for God to render a harsh judgment. "The Excellency of Christ" clarifies the almost contradictory conjunctions of Christ, such as being a lion and a lamb. "Heaven, a World of Love" shows the glories of heaven and discusses the objects, subjects, and circumstances of love in heaven. "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," the best known of Jonathan Edwards' sermons, promotes the seriousness of sin and the mercy of God as the only way to stay out of hell.

Richard Cecil proclaims: “Let us study the heavenly science of gaining by losses, and rising by depressions.” Death and mourning produce “a cry, which, while it rouses the sleeper, fills his eyes with tears and his heart with pangs; often produces such views of God, of the present, and of the eternal state,” like nothing else. John Flavel outlines many practical aspects of mourning in a healthy manner. John Newton’s letter urges readers to keep a balance between overvaluing and undervaluing social relationships. Jonathan Edwards’ letter emphasizes that the Lord Jesus Christ is our portion, rest, hope, and joy. This is a book of rich scriptural help and advice for mourning; much of which can be applied to any affliction.

This collection contains all 51 poems from Sarah Doudney’s “Psalms of Life” together with 115 poems and hymn lyrics never before collected from nineteenth century periodicals such as “The Sunday Magazine,” “Good Words Magazine,” “Littell’s Living Age” and others. Included are all her poems that have become favorites: “The Lesson of the Water-Mill,” a very popular poem; “The Christian's Goodnight,” sung at Charles Spurgeon’s funeral; “The Hardest Time of All,” an often quoted poem; “Between the Lights,” reflections between the sunset and moonrise, and “Some Words,” about the power of words. R. H. Barnes wrote in the Preface: “The highest aspiration of the writer will, I know, be attained, if any words of hers shall minister comfort to the sorrowing, hope to the downcast, and strength to the weary.”

This collection contains well over 750 quotes, arranged in 48 subjects. All quotes are taken directly from the works of Thomas Watson. Thomas Watson had a gift to explain Scriptural truth in simple language to help understanding. Some examples are: “Jesus Christ is a lily of the valley, not of the mountains.” “He shed his tears—for those who shed his blood!” “They can trust God’s heart—where they cannot trace his hand.” “Christ is never sweet, until sin is bitter!” “A proud man complains that he has no more; a humble man wonders that he has so much.” Gathered together for the first time, this extensive collection will provide many hours of contemplation.
