Riassunto

Hymns can speak to our deepest needs, reassure us, offer us hope and enrich our understanding of divine love. They also open up the Bible am its teachings, relating them to our understanding of moral issues and personal development. In Awake My Soul, Professor J.R. Watson provides thoughtful but very readable commentary on 30 hymns. His aim is to introduce us to the rich seams of spiritual writing to be found in some of those we love the best including: 'When I survey the wondrous cross' 'The King of love my Shepherd is' 'Dear Lord and Father of Mankind, 'Love Devine, al loves excelling' and 'For the beauty of the earth'
