Easter Hymns

(3 stars; 2 reviews)

Lockwood, Brooks & Co. Have nearly ready the volume of “Easter Hymns” selected by Miss J.E.C. Chapman, an accomplished lady of Boston, and introduced by a note from her uncle, Rev. Dr. J.I.T. Coolidge. The hymns are excellently chosen, and the volume will be brought out in tasteful style. It will commend itself to the favor of all Episcopalians, and to the devout in all denominations, to whom Easter is not a mere churchly date but a day of deep and glad significance. – The Publisher’s Weekly, March 18th, 1876.

Mixed feelings about narrators


(3 stars)

I actually skipped about half the hymns as I didn’t enjoy some of the narrators. I did appreciate the hymns that I listened to, with their beautiful thoughts and words.
