Hymns and hymnbooks as American historical and cultural icons. This work is a study of the importance of Protestant hymns in defining America and American religion.

Distinguishing features of this volume are studies of the most popular hymns (''Amazing Grace,'' ''O, For a Thousand Tongues to Sing,'' ''All Hail the Power of Jesus'' Name''), with attention to the ability of such hymns to reveal, as they are altered and adapted, shifts in American popular religion.
