Ira D. Sankey played a key role in the revival meetings of evangelist Dwight L. Moody. When Moody was asked by a Pastor what he felt was the primary contribution that a song leader such as Ira Sankey brought to his meetings he replied, "If we can only get people to have the words of the Love of God coming from their mouths, it is well on its way to residing in their hearts."

In this recording, the Sheffield Celebration Choir and the Sheffield Salvation Army Band sing "Wonderful Words of Life" and 13 other immortal hymns that were popularized by Ira D. Sankey.
