Author’s Note for Transforming Faith

One of the strongest threads we see woven through the Bible is faith. That thread has continued through the historic church and is still relevant today in our modern worship.

These old hymns remind us to continue on the foundation of faith that our forefathers have established, continually trusting and obeying God’s promises from His Word, and to rest in His promises and know “thus saith the Lord.”

I pray this collection is a blessing to you and your church.
