Born in 1717 to a prosperous family in the United Kingdom, Anne Steele spent her life in cheerful devotion to her father’s lay pastorate, various friendships, and her prolific religious writings. Her hymns, poems, and psalms—once well known and featured in early-nineteenth-century hymnals—have sadly receded to the background of modern worship. But in Refuge of My Weary Soul: The Collected Works of Anne Steele, believers of all ages and backgrounds will find the perfect devotional and worship guide. At the crux of her writing is the reality of sustaining faith despite difficulty—a timelessly relevant theme that resonates with all generations. Alex Webster edited and compiled Steele’s works with the intent of retaining the original meter of the hymns and has ordered Steele’s other works in a format accessible to today’s readers. The result is the recapturing of some of the eighteenth century’s most heartfelt and beloved religious writings. The formative dimension of worship goes without saying. These refreshingly honest expressions of hope and faith amid one woman’s struggles with various issues—including serious health problems—will inspire you to see the beauty and blessing that come from running with patience the race that is this Christian life.

<p>In the 1800s, Henry Francis Lyte made his mark in the world of poetry, imbuing his words with hope against all odds. His output of poems and hymns spoke to the common man and the gospel of God.In Heaven Will Bring Me Sweeter Rest, Lyte's works are presented in all their heartfelt glory. These hymns and poems help illuminate an undying faith in a world beset by darkness. Like many poets of the Romantic Age, his works broke down the wall between the mind and the heart. With an ear towards sentimentality, Lyte manages to avoid mawkishness in these beautifully crafted works.Lyte's poems and hymns are perfectly suited for devotional use and personal worship. They straddle the line between sentimentality and realism to present a unique view of the world and God Himself. Lyte understood better than most that God is not an accessory meant to adorn our abundance. Rather, He is the life raft we cling to when the clouds darken and we are adrift at sea. Heaven Will Bring Me Sweeter Rest directs the reader to look forward to a city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.</p>
