Songs of the Highway

By Henry Burton Sharman

Book Overview

"" Songs of the Highway"" is a book written by Reverend Henry Burton. The book is a collection of songs that reflect the author's experiences traveling on the highways and byways of America. The songs are a mix of traditional gospel hymns and original compositions that explore themes of faith, hope, and perseverance. The book is divided into sections that correspond to different regions of the United States, and each section includes a map and a brief description of the area. The songs are accompanied by lyrics, sheet music, and guitar chords, making it easy for readers to sing along or play the songs themselves. The book is a celebration of the rich musical heritage of America and a testament to the power of music to inspire and uplift.1924. Burton writes in his Foreword: The Hymns and Songs of this book are some of the interludes of a busy life. Most of them have appeared in the columns of the religious press, many of them have been set to music, and some have found place in the Hymnals of Churches in England, America and Canada. They are not sent forth in this collected form that they may have a wider range of influence and service, and that their life may be something more than an ephemeral one. It is only a modest wreath of song, but such as it is I lay it reverently at the feet of Him who gives us all our songs.
