Hezekiah Butterworth says in ‘The Story of the Hymns and Tunes that “There can be poetry without emotion, but a hymn never. A poem may argue; a hymn must not. In short to be a hymn, what is written must express spiritual feelings and desires. The music of faith, hope and charity will be somewhere in its strain.”

The Modern Hymns Freedom Sounds has published certainly stand out among the newer writing encouraging more devotion and we love it, and are sure you will too.
