Fill all my soul tonight.
Refrain:—

The hymn has five stanzas all expressing the gentle fervor of an active piety loving service:
THE TUNE

THE GOSPEL HYMNS.
These popular religious songs have been criticised as “degenerate psalmody” but those who so style them do not seem to consider the need that made them.
The great majority of mankind can only be reached by missionary methods, and in these art and culture do not play a conspicuous part. The multitude could be supplied with technical preaching and technical music for their religious wants, but they would not rise to the bait, whereas nothing so soon kindles their better emotions or so surely appeals to their better nature as even the humblest sympathetic hymn sung to a simple and stirring tune. If the music is unclassical and the hymn crude there is no critical audience to be offended.
