Ira D. Sankey 'introduced a peculiar style of popular hymns which are calculated to awaken the careless, to melt the hardened, and to guide inquiring souls to the Lord Jesus Christ..'

This album is the 11th in the Hymn Maker series and includes 14 of the 1200 songs published in Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos. Once again the Sheffield Celebration Choir, conducted by Jackie Williams, brings the atmosphere and the emotion of the 1875 meetings in the Agricultural Hall, Islington, north London, right into our homes. Sing these well known song with the choir and imagine you are sitting in that hall surrounded by 20,000 other voices lifting their praises to God.
