Companion for the Altar

A Companion for the Altar, by John Henry Hobart, offers a guide to understanding and participating in the Lord's Supper. This work, originally published in 1804, provides a short explanation of the sacrament along with meditations and prayers tailored for use before, during, and after receiving Holy Communion, adhering to the form prescribed by the Protestant Episcopal Church. Hobart's companion serves as a devotional aid, enriching the spiritual experience of communicants.

This edition allows modern readers to connect with the historical practices of Episcopal worship and deepen their understanding of this central Christian sacrament.
