Summary:
This collection contains English translations of some of the best-known German Pietist
poems and hymns throughout the centuries. Characteristic of their Pietist authors, the
hymns' contents are deeply personal and sometimes mystical. Fortunately, little beauty
and meaning is lost in Bevan's fine translations. The works of Gerhard Tersteegen (1697-
1769) and Heinrich Seuse, also known as Henry Suso (1300-1366), among others, are
included.
