Program notes

Many of the hymns that have made their way around the world were originally written in England by the likes of Isaac Waats, Charles Wesley, Augustus Toplady and Ada Habershon. This documentary tells their story.

God's Greatest Hits is a Canadian documentary series that explores the history of some of the best-known spirituals in the world. From Christian hymns to gospel songs, each episode presents information from historical archives and features interviews with music critics, musicians and scholars.
