In Crusader Hymns we have sought to provide Christian songs that are appropriate for every vicissitude of life, and to make the message of each hymn clear, so that its use may be meaningful. This is accomplished in part by grouping the hymns according to topic, and also by artwork and the comment which introduces each section of the book. The Table of Contents indicates the divisions of the hymnal, and the Topical Index provides lists of hymns under almost one hundred different headings relating to subject and use. The Alphabetical Index includes a brief statement about each hymn in the book. In some instances, facts are given about the author and composer, or about the circumstances which led to the hymn's writing. - Foreword.
