Zion’s Hymns: For the Use of Zion’s Sons and Daughters

Joseph Irons saw singing as “one of the most delightful exercises in which the saints of God can be engaged.” He compiled this collection of 611 hymns, “expressing in rhymes the grand doctrines” preached from the pulpit. A valuable addition to a church historian’s library, this volume captures the spirit of church life in England in the nineteenth century.
