Call Number: BV313.S56 2006

This work probes the importance of Protestant hymns in defining America and American religion. From close examinations of the most popular hymns ("Amazing Grace," "O, For a Thousand Tongues to Sing," "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name") to a study of the role hymns play in changing attitudes about race, class, gender, economic life, politics, and society, Sing Them Over Again to Me looks at hymns and hymnbooks as historical and cultural icons.
