Sacred Praise: An Earnest Appeal To Christian Worshipers, In Behalf Of A Neglected Duty (1856) is a book written by Thomas Hastings. In this book, Hastings makes an appeal to Christian worshipers to take up a neglected duty, that of singing sacred praise. He argues that singing is an essential part of worship and that it is a duty that Christians have neglected for too long. Hastings provides a historical and theological background for the practice of singing in worship, and he offers practical advice for how to incorporate singing into worship services. The book includes hymns and psalms that Hastings has written, as well as hymns and psalms from other authors. Sacred Praise is a passionate and persuasive call to Christians to rediscover the importance of singing in worship and to make it a central part of their spiritual lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
