This songbook was compiled by Clifford Barrows, longtime music leader for the American revivalist Billy Graham, and published by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in 1969. Graham was one of the most recognizable religious leaders of the twentieth century, using mass media to reinvent the revival tradition for the post-World War II era. Over a 70-year period, he and his team ministered to more people in live audiences than anyone in history—about 215 million people in nearly 100 countries and territories. Graham and Barrows believed music could serve as a type of sermon. This book contains songs often sung at Graham’s revival campaigns, or “Crusades” as they were then called. As Barrows writes on the title page, referencing Psalm 98:1, “The Christian faith is a singing faith, and a good way to express it and share it with others is in community singing.”
