Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Religious Poems, Selected by Various" is a compilation of religious poetry likely compiled in the late 19th century. The collection features diverse works by notable poets such as Frances R. Havergal, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Horatius Bonar, reflecting themes of faith, devotion, and the human experience in relation to the divine. This anthology serves as a spiritual resource, offering readers an invitation to contemplate profound truths about faith, love, prayer, and the nature of God. At the start of the compilation, the opening portion presents a series of poems, each conveying the authors’ reflections on different aspects of spirituality. For instance, "Our King" by Frances R. Havergal emphasizes worship and adoration toward Christ, while "The Sleep" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning explores the comfort found in divine rest. Other poems highlight yearning for God's presence, understanding prayer as a vital expression of faith, and recognizing the sacredness of love and compassion. The collection's introduction establishes a contemplative tone, setting the stage for the deep emotional and spiritual explorations that follow throughout the anthology.
