Favourite Hymns Volume I is the first of six small volumes in this series of Favourite Hymns. The Foreword has been contributed by The Revd. Dr. Leslie Griffiths (now Lord Griffiths of Burry Port), who is Superintendent Minister of Wesley’s Chapel in London and a former President of the Methodist Conference. In his role as Superintendent Minister in the City, Dr. Griffiths is better placed than most to bring God into the world of mammon, a role in which hymns continue to play an important part. Favourite Hymns Volume I covers hymns written between 1550-1821: All hail the power of Jesu’s name! *** All people that on earth do dwell Amazing grace - how sweet the sound *** Awake, my soul, and with the sun By cool Siloam’s shady rill *** Glorious things of thee are spoken Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah *** Hail to the Lord’s anointed Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty! *** How sweet the name of Jesus sounds I sing the almighty power of God *** I’ll praise my Maker while I’ve breath Jesus shall reign where’er the sun *** Let all the world in every corner sing Love divine, all loves excelling *** Now thank we all our God O God, our help in ages past *** Oft in danger, oft in woe Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire *** Rock of ages, cleft for me Teach me, my God and King *** Thou, whose almighty word Through all the changing scenes of life *** Who would true valour see These were turbulent times, from the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s to the French Revolution at the end of the eighteenth century and the full force of Britain’s Industrial Revolution, which culminated in the early years of the nineteenth century.
