Wesley Corpus

The combined HSP (1739/40) was not reprinted after 1756 because Methodist worship relied increasingly on two alternative collections that John Wesley had introduced: Hymns and Spiritual Songs (1753) and Select Hymns, with Tunes Annext (1761). The most popular hymns from HSP (1739/40) were included in these collections. Table of Contents Part I. The Fifty Fifth Chapter of Isaiah The Life of Faith, Exemplified in the Eleventh Chapter of ...
