Carl F. Price
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
Carl F. Price, a pioneering hymnologist, historian, and author, says, "Every real hymn has its story, if only we could discover it." From stories behind the hymns, Price now takes us to examine many curious facts about the hymns, such as Charles Wesley's Brogue, Night Scenes in the Hymnal, Book Titles from Hymn Lines, and The Catechism of Hymnal Superlative.
