The Collected Poems of Robert Hill offer rich spiritual instruction in verse form.
These verses and poems are products of the writer's heart, his convictions, and his philosophy of life, and stem from a deep and firm belief in the triune God. In addition, they have a purity of style probably due to the fact that Robert Hill was acclaimed as a grammarian. Simple as they are, many of them contain profound lessons, beneficial for daily Christian living. Hill wrote them for people he truly loved: his congregations of the First Presbyterian Church, and Moore Memorial Presbyterian Church, Tyler, Texas. Some of them were written to suit a situation or condition that existed when that particular one was composed, and was often instrumental in smoothing a potentially rough road for someone in distress.
