Crown of rubbed backstrip bumped and pulled. Extremities of boards rubbed. Internally clean. J. M. Sjodahl was the editor of this rare work that contains 153 hymns, 128 which are supplied with melodies. Apparently, some of the tunes were original compositions of Sjodahl himself. Several hymns of this edition were derived from the LDS Psalmody of the preceding year. This work also contains five hymns by L. F. Monch: three on the subject of the gathering to Utah, a gospel song on the parable of the sower, and the stirring hymn of the Restoration, "Sehet ihr Volker, Licht bricht heran," which has been a favorite of German-speaking Saints for over a century. We locate four institutional holdings (all in Utah). Rare. Flake/Draper 1832. Jacobs 664.H.
