The purpose of this book is to bring together in one convenient
volume some of the best devotional verse the English language
affords, and thus to make available to present day Christians a
rich spiritual heritage which the greater number of them for
various reasons do not now enjoy. I have not hesitated to apply the
term "mystical" to the material I have collected here, though I
readily admit that fewer than half a dozen of the men and women who
would be called true mystics in the strict classical sense will be
found here. Such names as Eckhart, Ruysbroeck, John of the Cross,
Teresa, Rolle, Tauler, Hilton, Francis of Assisi, for instance, are
not represented in this volume at all. On the other hand the
frequent appearance of such a man as Watts might cause the reader
to lift a questioning eyebrow and ask, "Is Watts also among the
mystics?" Well, the answer must be, Of course he is, and so are
John Newton and James Montgomery and Reginald Heber and Charles
Wesley, as well as many others who might have balked at being
called mystics but whose writings, nevertheless, reveal
unmistakable traces of purest mysticism and are the better for it.
And for that matter the same thing may be said of the inspired
writings of such men as Moses and David and Isaiah and Daniel and
Paul and John, the works of the latter showing more than traces of
the mystical spirit, being indeed charged full with it. Wilder
