Religious Poems - Hardcover

by Elizabeth Prentiss (Author)

Elizabeth Prentiss wrote 122 poems that "depict some of the deepest experiences of her Christian life . . . they are her tears of joy or of sorrow, her cries of anguish, and her songs of love and triumph." The epigraph states: "The testimony of one soul is the experience of thousands." As Harper's Magazine (1874) wrote: "These poems . . . will give strength to many that feel the weariness, and faint under it, and that need just this cry of a labored trust as a means of conduct to the higher experience of joyous trust."
