Olney Hymns is a collection of hymns written by John Newton, a prominent 18th century English clergyman and writer. The book is divided into three sections: the first section contains hymns on select texts of scripture, the second section contains hymns on occasional subjects, and the third section contains hymns on the progress and changes of spiritual life. The hymns cover a wide range of topics including salvation, repentance, faith, love, and the Christian journey. The book was first published in 1779 and became widely popular, with many of its hymns still being sung in churches today. This 1797 edition includes additional hymns and revisions made by Newton. It is considered a classic of Christian literature and a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the Christian faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
