Smith A PREFACE DESERET SUNDAY SCHOOL SONGS THEincludes nearly all of the old Sunday School favorites, contained in the Deseret Sunday School Song Book, which have done such noble service in the musical uplift of our people. To these have been added over one hundred other choice selections written by our home musicians and by some of the best song writers of America. The revision is practically the work of our Sunday School Choristers. Letters were sent to upwards of one thousand Sunday School Stake and Ward Choristers asking them each to submit a list of ten of their favorite songs. The responses received furnished us with a list of about one thousand songs from which over one hundred new and beautiful selections, including many valuable copyrights, were made. A special feature of this collection is the large number of pieces suitable for sacramental pur- poses and of the higher grade of devotional hymns demanded by so many of our musicians. Mechanically the book is fully up-to-date and the songs are so arranged that each selection may be sung or played without turning the page. Grateful acknowledgement is extended to all who have aided us by their contributions. We earnestly hope and believe that the Deseret Sunday School Songs will meet the expectations of our Sunday School workers, prove a valuable aid in the moral and musical development of our children, and find a welcome in every home.
