Ira Sankey was an American gospel singer and composer, known for his long association with Dwight L. Moody in a series of religious revival campaigns in America and Britain during the closing decades of the 19th century. Sankey was a pioneer in the introduction of a musical style that influenced church services and evangelical campaigns for generations, and the hymns that he wrote or popularized continued to be sung well into the 21st century.
Eight pages, nice condition.

AI notes: On November 25, 1875, evangelist Dwight L. Moody and gospel singer Ira D. Sankey were leading a major revival campaign in Philadelphia. Held in a specially built 10,000-seat tabernacle at 13th and Market Streets, their meetings drew massive crowds from all social classes. Moody preached on salvation and Christian living, while Sankey’s hymns deeply moved audiences. The campaign was a landmark success, helping launch a wave of urban revivals across the U.S. and solidifying their influence in American evangelical history.
