A compelling journey exploring some of todays best loved hymns.

Hymns of the Forefathers is a companion to the UCB TV series which explores the magnificent history of some of the world's greatest hymns. It looks in detail at hymns like 'Amazing Grace', written by an ex slave trader and 'It Is Well With My Soul' written by Horatio Spafford after discovering his four daughters had drowned at sea. Other stories include the background to 'Blessed Assurance' written by a woman who was blind at birth but wrote over 800 hymns of praise during her life. Filmed in the original locations, this DVD companion is a wonderful treasury of church history and glorious songs of praise which are as powerful today, as they were when they were first written.
