494. Sing them over again to me
Philip P. Bliss, 1838-76
Written especially for use in the first issue of Words of Life, a Sunday school paper published by Fleming H. Revell. Two years later, George Stebbins introduced the song in an evangelistic campaign which he and Dr. Pentecost were conducting in New Haven, Conn., the two men singing the song as a duet. The song was received with enthusiasm and immediately became popular. It was published in Gospel Hymns, No. 3 and has had a wide use in evangelistic services and in the Sunday schools throughout the country.
