""Salvation Army Songs"" is a collection of hymns and songs compiled by General William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army. The book contains over 500 songs that were commonly used in the Salvation Army's worship services and evangelistic campaigns. The songs cover a wide range of themes, including salvation, repentance, faith, and social justice. Many of the songs were written by members of the Salvation Army, and reflect the organization's commitment to helping the poor and marginalized. The book includes sheet music and lyrics for each song, as well as an introduction by General Booth. ""Salvation Army Songs"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of hymnody or the work of the Salvation Army.From the Preface by the Late General: Surely no man has ever been called upon to make, or direct the making of, so many Song Books as I have. It is no little consolation at seventy to know that millions of people in every part of the world are singing God's praises together as a result of the efforts he has helped me to put forth or to direct for their good. Yet is has seemed good to me at this time to attempt something like a thorough selection of those songs which we have found most useful in all lands, so that my people may have a larger storehouse of songs that may be used for all occasions, and that they may the more easily see what I would have them leave behind, and what preserve, translate and use.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
