PREFACE

The Chapel Hymn Book is an abridge! edition of the Church Hymn Book. It is designed for the Chapel, the Lecture- Room, the Social Meeting, and the Family. It aims, also, to meet the demands of missionary and feeble churches for a book less expensive than the more comprehensive and complete work.

To this end, the most familiar and best approved hymns and tunes of the Church Hymn Book have been incorporated, without abridg- ment or alteration, and in the same order of topics, into this humbler selection. Both the hymns and the tunes of this Manual of Praise are regarded as among the choicest in use among the churches of America. As the numbering of the larger work is attached to each of the hymns in this selection, both books may readily be used together.

The principles on which the original compilation was made- are fully set forth in the preface to the Church Hymn Book.

1 Awake, my soul! and, with the sun, Thy daily stage of duty run; Shake off duil sloth, and joyful rise, To pay thy morning sacrifice.

2 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart! And with the angels bear thy part, Who, all night long, unwearied sing, High praise to the eternal King.

3 All praise to thee, who safe hast kept, And hast refreshed me, whilst I slept; Grant, Lord ! when I from death shall I may of endless light partake. [wake,

5 Direct, control, ruggest, this day, All I design, or do, cr Fay;

That all my powers, with all their might, In thy sole glory may unite.

G Praise God, from whom nil blessings flow; Praise him, all creatures here below ! Praise him above, ye heavenly host ! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Psalm n

(SO

Glory to thee, my God ! this night, For all the blessings of the light: Keep me, Oh ! keep me, King of kings ! Beneath thine own almighty wings.

Forgive me, Lord ! for thy dear Son, The ill that I this day have done; That with the world, myself, and thee, I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.

Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed; Teach me to die, that so I may Rise glorious at the awful day.

Oh ! may my soul on thee repose, And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close: Sleep, that shall me more vigorous make, To serve my God when I awake.

When in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with Leavenly thoughts supply: Let no ill dreams disturb my rest, No powers of darkness me molest.

Thomas Ken, 1697, a.

■ • A Song for Morning or Evening. (4.|

My God! how endless i? thy love!

Thy gifts are every evening new; And morning mercies from above

Gently distill, like early dew.

Thou spread'st the curtains of the night, Great Guardian of my sleeping hours !

Thy sovereign word restores the light, And quickens all my drowsy powtrs.

I yield my powers to thy command;

To thee I consecrate my days; Perpetual blessings, from thy hand.

Demand perpetual songs of praise.

1 Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear ! It is not night, if thou be near;

Oh ! may no earth-born cloud arise. To hide thee from thy servant's eyes !

2 When the soft dews of kindly (deep My wearied eyelids gently steep,

Be my last thought, how sweet to rest For ever on my Saviour's breast !

3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without thee I cannot live ; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without thee I dare not die.

4 If some poor wandering child of thine Have spurned to-day the voice divine, Now, Lord ! the gracious work begin ; Let him no more lie down in sin.

5 "Watch by the sick ; enrich the poor, With blessings from thy boundless store ; Be every mourn, r's sleep to-night, Like infant's slumbers, pure and light !

G Come near and bless us when we wake. Ere through the world our way we take ; Till, in the ocean of thy love, "We lose ourselves in heaven above.

John JTeftfe, 1827

U» Psalm 141.

1 My God ! accept my early vows, Like morning incense in thy house And let my nightly worship rise Sweet as the evening sacrifice.

2 "Watch o'er my lips, and guard them, Lord! From every rash and heedless word ; Nor let my feet incline to tread

The guilty path where sinners lead.

3 Oh ! may the righteous, when I stray, Smite and reprove my wandering way : Their, gentla words, like ointment shed, Snail never bruise, but cheer my head.

i When I behold them pressed with grief, I '11 cry to heaven for tbeir relief ; And, by my warm petitions, prove How much I prize their faithful love.

• • An Evening Hymn.

1 Thus far the Lord has led mo on,

Thus far his power prolongs my days ; And every evening shall make known Some fresh memorial of his grace.

2 Much of my time has run to waste,

And I, perhaps, am near my home ; But he forgives my follies past,

He gives me strength for days to come.

3 I lay my body down to sleep, —

Peace is the pillow for my head ; While well-appointed angels keep

Their watchful stations round my bed.

4 Thus, when the night of d^ath shall com*\

My flesh shall rest beneath the ground, And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb, "With sweet salvation in the sound, • Isaac Watts, 1709.

1 Once more, my soul ! the rising day

Salutes thy waking eyes ; Once more, my voice ! thy tribute pay To him that rolls the skies.

2 Night unto night his name repeats,

The day renews the sound ; Wide as the heaven, on which ho sits, To turn the seasons round.

3 'T is he supports my mortal frame, —

My tongue shall speak his praise ; My sins would rouse his wrath to flame, And yet his wrath delays.

4 Great God ! let all my hours be thine,

Whilst I enjoy the light ; Then shall my sun in smiles decline, And bring a pleasing night.

Philip Doddridge, 1740.

</• The Twilight of Evening.

1 I love to steal awhile away

From every cumbering care, And spend the hours offsetting da; In humble, grateful prayer.

2 I love in solitude to shed

The penitential tear, And all his promises to plead, Where none but God can hear.

3 I love to think on mercies past,

And future good implore, •And all my cares and sorrows cast On him whom I adore.

(17.)

4 I love by faith to take a view

Of brighter scenes in heaven ; The prospect doth my strength renew, While here by tempests driven.

5 Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er,

May its departing ray Be calm as this impressive hour, And lead to endless day !

Mrs. Phoebe II. Brown, 1825.

A n Evening Son g. (10.)

1 Now, from the altar of our hearts,

Let incense flames arise ; Assist us, Lord ! to offer up Our evening sacrifice.

2 Awake, our love ! awake, our joy !

Awake, our hearts and tongue ! Sleep not, when mercies loudly call ; Break forth into a song.

3 Minutes and mercies multipled

Have made up all this day ; Minutes came quick, but mercies were More fleet and free than they.

4 New time, new favors, and new joys,

Do a new song require ; Till we shall praise thee as we would, Accept our heart's desire.

5 Lord of our time ! whose hand hath set

New time upon our score ; Thee may we praise for all our time, When time shall be no more !

2 Thou, whose all-pervading eye

Naught escapes, without, within ! Pardon each infirmity,

Open fault, and secret sin.

3 Soon, for me, the light of day Shall for ever jmss away : Then, from sin and sorrow free, Take me, Lord ! to dwell with thee.

2 Through the duties of the day, Grant me grac i to watch and pray ; Live as always seeing thee, Knowing, — Thou, God ! "seest'me.

3 When the evening skies display Richer pomp than noon's array, Be tbe shades of death to me Bright with immortality.

4 When the round of care is run, And the stars succeed the sun, Songs of praiss with prayer unite, Crown the day, and hail the night.

5 Thus with the?, my God ! my Friend i Time begin, continue, end,

While life's joys and sorrows pass, Like the changes of the grass.

2 Sin and sorrow, guilt and woe,

Wither all my earthly joys ; Naught can charm me here below,

But my Saviour's melting voice ; Lord ! forgive, thy grace restore, Make me thine for evermore.

3 For the blessing? of this day,

For the mercies of this hour, For the gospel's cheering ray,

For the Spirit's quickening power, Grateful notes to thee I raise ; Oh ! accept my song of praise,

And evening calms the mind : The setting, as the rising, sun With thee my heart would find.

Welcome, sacred day of rest!

Sweet repose from worldly care ; Day above all days the best,

When our souls for heaven prepare ; Day, when our Redeemer rose,

Victor o'er the hosts of hell : Thus he vanquished all our foes ;

Let our lips his glory tell.

Gracious Lord ! we love this day,

When we hear thy holy word ; When we sing thy praise, and pray,

Earth can no such joys afford : Bnt a better rest remains,

Heavenly Sabbaths, happier days, Rest from sin, and rest from pains,

Endless joys, and endless praise.

1 This day the Lord hath called his own ;

Oh ! let us then his praise declare, Fix our desires on him alone,

And seek his lace, with fervent prayer.

2 Lord ! in thy love, would we rejoice,

That bids the burdened soul be free ; And, with united heart and voice, Devote these sacred hours to thee.

The elernal Sabbath. (40.)

Lokd of the Sabbath ! hear our vows,

3 Now let the worldV, delusive things

No more our groveling thoughts employ ; But faith be taught to stretch her wings, In search of heaven's unlading joy.

4 Oh ! let these earthly Sabbaths, Lord !

Be to our lasting welfare blessed ; The purest comfort here afford, And fit us for eternal rest.

William II. Bathurst, 1831.

On this thy day, in this thy house ;

And own, as grateful sacrifice,

The songs, which from the desert rise.

2 Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord ! we love But there 's a nobler rest above ;

To that our laboring souls aspire, With ardent pangs of strong desire.

3 No more fatigue, no more distress, Nor sin, nor hell shall reach the place ; No groans to mingle with the songs, Which warble from immortal tongues.

4 No rude alarms of raging foes, No cares to break the long repose, No midnight shade, no clouded sun, But sacred, high, eternal noon.

5 O long expected day ! begin ;

Dawn on these realms of woe and sin ; Fain would we leave this weary road, And sleep in death to rise with God.

A triple light was given.

In life's dry dreary sand ; From thee, lite Pisgah's mountain,

"We view our promised land : A day of sweet refection,

A day of holy love, A day of resurrection

From earth to things above.

The heavenly manna falls ; To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls.

Where gospel light is glowing With pure and radiant beams,

And living water flowing

With soul-refreshing streams.

From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining

To spirits of the blest : To Holy Ghost be praises,

To Father and to Son ; The church her voice upraises

To thee, blest Three in One.

Our thoughts from earth withdraw We search for sacred treasure,

We learn thy holy law.

Its loudest, sweetest lay ; Thy richest mercies sharing,

Oh ! fill us with thy love, By grace our souls preparing

For nobler praise above.

1 Fab from my thoughts, vain world ! be Let my religious hours alone ; [gone ; Fain would mine eyes my Saviour see ; — I wait a visit, Lord ! from thee.

2 My heart grows warm with holy fire, And kindles with a pure desire ; Come, my dear Jesus ! from above, And feed my soul with heavenly love.

3 Blessed Jesus ! what delicious fare — How sweet thine entertainments are ! Never did angels taste above Redeeming grace, and dying love.

Immortal glory too, Who bought us with his blood

From everlasting woe: And now he lives, and now he reigns, And sees the fruit of all his pains.

Immortal worship give, Whose new-creating power

Makes the dead sinner live: His work completes the great design, And fills the soul with joy divine.

The Lord! — how wondrous are his ways ! How firm his truth ! how large his grace! He takes his mercy for his throne, And thence he makes his glories known.

Not half so high, his power hath spread The starry heavens above our head, As his rich love exceeds our praise, — Exceeds the highest hopes we raise.

Not half so far. hath nature placed The rising morning from the west, As his forgiving grace removes The daily guilt of those he loves.

4 How slowly doth his wrath arise ! On swifter wings salvation flies ; And, if he lets his anger burn, How soon his frowns to pity turn !

5 But his eternal love is sure

To all the saints, and shall endure ; From age to age, his truth shall reign ; Nor children's children hope in vain.

3 When death o'er nature shall prevail, And all its powers of language fail ;

Joy thro' my swimming eyes shall break, And mean the thanks I cannot speak.

4 But, Oh ! when that last conflict 's o'er, And I am chained to flesh no more, — With what glad accents shall I rise

To join the music of the skies.

5 Soon shall I learn th' exalted strains, Which echo o'er the heavenly plains, And emulate, with joy unknown,

Full royally he rode, And, on the wings of mighty winds, Came flying all abroad.

The Lord ! how fearful is his name !

How wide is his command ! Nature, with all her moving frame,

Bests on his mighty hand. Immortal glory forms his throne,

And light, his awful robe ; Whilst with a smile, or with a frown,

He manages the globe. A word of his almighty breath

Can swell or sink the seas ; Build the vast empires of the earth,

Or break thorn as he please. On angels, with unveiled face,

His glory beams above ; On men, he looks with softest grace,

And takes his title, Love.

Psalm 148.

(249.)

1 Praise the Lord ; ye heavens ! adore him ;

Praise him, angels in the height ! Sun and moon ! rejoice before him ; Praise him, all ye stars of light!

2 Praise the Lord, for he hath spoken :

Worlds his mighty voice obeyed ;

Laws, which never shall be broken,

For their guidance he hath made.

3 Praise the Lord, for ho is glorious ;

Never shall his promise fail ; God hath made his saints victorious, Sin and death shall not prevail.

4 Praise the God of our salvation,

Hosts on high i his power proclaim ; Heaven and earth, and all creation ! Laud and magnify his name.

John Kempthorne, 1810.

AnwU. Praise for Gracz. (250.)

1 Lord ! with glowing heart I '11 praise

For the bliss thy love bestows : [thee For the pardoning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows.

2 Help, O Lord ! my weak endeavor ;

This dull soul to rapture raise ; Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise.

3 Praise, my soul ! the God that sought thee,

V retched wanderer, far astray ; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away.

4 Praise, with love's devoutest feeling,

Him who saw thy guilt-born tear, And, the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stained cross appear.

5 Lord ! this bosom's ardent feeling

Vainly would my lips express : Low before thy footstep kneeling,

Deign thy suppliant's prayer to bless.

6 Let thy grace, my soul's chief pleasure,

Love's pure flame within me raise ;

And, since words can never measure,

Let my life show forth, thy praise.

1 Praise the Lord — his power confess ; Praise him, in his holiness ;

Praise him, as the theme inspires, — Praise him, as his fame requires.

2 Let the trumpet's lofty sound Spread its loudest notes around ; Let the harp unite, in praise, With the sacred minstrel's lays.

3 Let the organ join to bless God, the Lord of righteousness ; Tune your voice to spread the fame Of the great Jehovah's name.

4 All who dwell beneath his light ! In his praise your hearts unite ; While tlie stream of song is pour3d, Praise and magnify the Lord.

3 Praise the Lord, his mercies trace ; Praise his providence and grace — All that he for man hath done,

All he sends us through his Son.

Glory to God in the highest.

(258.)

1 Songs of praise the angels sang, Heaven with hallelujahs rang, When Jehovah's work begun, — When he spake, and it was done.

2 Song of praise awoke the morn, When the Prince of peace was born ; Songs of praise arose, when he Captive led captivity.

3 Heaven and earth must pass away, — Songs of praise shall crown that day ; God will make new heavens, new earth, — Songs of praise shall hail their birth.

4 And can man alone be dumb, Till that glorious kingdom come? No ! — the church delights to rai.se Psalms, and hymis, and songs of praise.

5 Saints below, with h art and voice, Still iu songs of praise rejoice, Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above.

6 Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death ; Then, amids' eternal joy,

Songs of praise their powers employ. James Montgomery, 1819.

But some faint shadows of my Lord ; Nature, to make his beauties known, Must mingle colors not her own.

In Satan's bondage held, The gates of brass before him burst, The iron fetters yield.

And sweet seraphic fire Through all the shining regions ran, And strung and tuned the lyre.

And loud the echo rolled; The th^me, the song, the joy was new, 'T was more than heaven could hold.

Th' impetuous torrent ran ; And angels rushed, with eager joy, To bear the news to man.

The debt of love I owe ; Here, Lord ! I give myself away ; — 'T is all that I can do.

mkJmm Godly Sorrow at the Cross.

1 Alas ! and did my Saviour bleed ?

And did my Sovereign die ? Would he devote that sacred head, For such a worm as I ?

2 Was it for crimes that I had done,

He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity ! — grace unknown ! And love beyond degree !

(451.)

Christ crucified. (452.)

1 Behold the Saviour of mankind

Nailed to the shameful tree ! How vast the love that him inclined To bleed and die for thee !

2 Hark ! how he groans, while nature shakes,

And earth's strong pillars bend ! The temple's veil in sunder breaks, The solid marbles rend.

3 'T is done ; the precious ransom 's paid :

"Receive my soul i " he cries : See where he bows his sacred head ! He bows his head and dies.

4 But soon he' 11 break death's envious chain,

And in full glory shine : O Lamb of God ! was ever pain, Was ever love, like thine?

And did at once his vengeance pour, Upon the Shepherd's head !

High raised his conquering head : In wild dismay, the guards around Fell to the ground, and sunk away.

2 Lo! the angelic bands

In full assembly meet, To wait his high commands,

And worship at his feet : Joyful they come, and wing their way, From realms of day, to such a tomb.

3 Then back to heaven they fly,

And the glad tidings bear ; Hark ! as they soar on high,

What music fills the air ! Their anthems say, — "Jesus, who bled, Hath left the dead ; — he rose to-day."

4 Ye mortals! catch the sound, —

Redeemed by him from hell ; And send the echo round

The globe, on which you dwell ; Transported, cry. — « ' Jesus, who bled, Hath left the dead, no more to die."

5 All hail ! triumphant Lord !

Who sav'st us with thy blood : Wide lie thy name adored,

Thou rising, reigning God ! With thee, we rise, with thee we reign, Aud empires gain, beyond the skies.

1 Come, every pious heart,

That loves the Saviour's name ! Your noblest powers exert,

To celebrate his fame ; Tell all above, and all below, The debt of love to him you owe.

2 Such was his zeal for God,

And such his love for you, He freely undertook

What Gabriel could not do ; His every deed of love and grace, All words exceed, and thoughts surpass.

3 He left his starry crown,

And laid his robes aside ; On wings of love came down,

And wept, and bled, and died ; What he endured, Oh ! who can tell, To save our souls from death and hell?

4 From the dark grave he rose,

The mansion of the dead ; And thence his mighty foes,

In glorious triumph led ; Up through the sky the Conqueror rode, And reigns on high, the Saviour God.

5 Jesus ! we ne'er can pay

The debt we owe thy love, Yet tell us how we may

Our gratitude approve : Our hearts, our all, to thee wc give ; The gift, though small, thou wilt receive. Samuel Stennett, 1787.

He sets the pris'ner free ; His blood can make the foulest clean ; His blood availed for me.

5 He speaks, — and, listening to his voice,

New life the dead receive ; The mournful, broken hearts rejoice ; The humble poor believe.

3 Till God in human flesh I see,

My thoughts no comfort find ;

4 But, if Immanuel's face appear,

My hope, my joy begins ; His name forbids my slavish fear, His grace removes my sins.

And Greeks of wisdom boast ; — I love th' incarnate mystery, And there I fix my "trust.

1 Come, let us join in songs of praise

To our ascended Priest ; He entered heaven, with all our names Engraven on his breast.

2 Below he washed our guilt away,

By his atoning blood ; Now he appears before the throne, And pleads our cause with God.

3 Clothed with our nature still, he knows

The weakness of our frame, And how to shield us from the foes Which he himself o'ercame.

4 Nor time, nor distance, e'er shall quench

The fervors of his love ; For us he died in kindness here, Nor is less kind above.

5 Oh ! may we ne'er forget his grace,

Nor blush to wear his name ; Still may our hearts hold fast his faith, Our mouths his praise proclaim.

Upon the Saviour's brow ; His head with radiant glories crowned, His lips with grace o'erflow.

2 No mortal can with him compare

Among the sons of men ; Fairer is he, than all the iair That fill the heavenly train.

3 He saw me plunged in deep distress ;

He flew to my relief ; For me he bore the shameful cross, And carried all iny grief.

4 To him I owe my life and breath,

And all the joys I have ; He makes me triumph over death, And saves me from the grave.

5 To heaven, the place of his abode,

He brings my weary feet ; Shows me the glories of my God, And makes my joys complete.

6 Since from his bounty I receive

Such proofs of love divine, Had I a thousand hearts to give, Lord ! they should all be thine.

1 ' : Come hither, all ye weary souls !

Ye heavy-laden sinners ! come ; I '11 give you rest from all your toils, Aud raise you to my heavenly home.

2 " They shall find rest* that learn of me ;

I'm of a meek and lowly mind ; But passion rages like the sea, Aud pride is restless as the wind.

3 "Blessed is the man, whose shoulders

tike My yoke, and bear it with delight ; My yoke is eusy to his neck, [light,"

My grace shall make the burden

4 Jesus ! we come at thy command ;

With faith, and hope, and humble zeal ; Resign our spirits, to thy hand,

To mould and guide us, at thy will.

Isaac Watts, 1709.

Rest for the weary Penitent.

(577.)

288.

1 Come, weary souls ! with sin distressed, The Saviour offers heavenly rest ;

The kind, the gracious call obey, Aud cast your gloomy fears away.

2 Here mercy's boundless ocean flows,

To cleanse your guilt, and heal your

woes ; Pardon, and life, and endless peace ; — How rich the gift, how free the grace !

3 Lord ! we accept, with thankful heart, The hope thy gracious words impart ;

We come, with trembling ; yet rejoice. And bless the kind inviting voice.

4 Dear Saviour ! let thy powerful love Confirm our faith, our fears remove ; And sweetly influence every breast, And guide us to eternal rest.

Anne Steele, 1760.

Christ at the door.

1 BEHOiiD ! a stranger 's at the door !

He gently knocks, -has knocked before ; Has waited long — is waiting still ; You treat no other friend so ill.

2 But will he prove a friend indeed ? He will — the very friend you need ; The Man of Nazareth. — 'tis he, With garments dyed at Calvary.

3 Oh ! lovelv attitude I— he stands With melting heart, and laden hands : Oh ! matcldess kindness ! — and he shows This matchless kindness to his foes.

4 Bise, touched with gratitude divine, Turn out his enemy and thine, — That hateful hell-born monster, sin, — And let the heavenly stranger in.

5 Admit him, ere his anger burn ; His feet departed ne'er return ; Admit him, — or the hour 's at hand, When, at his door, denied you '11 stand.

2 Come, let our souls address the Lord, Who framed our natures with his word ; He is our Shepherd ; — we the sheep, His mercy chose, his pastures keep.

3 Come, let us hear his voice to-day, The counsels of his love obey; Nor let our hardened hearts renew The sins and plagues that Israel knew.

4 Look back, my soul ! with holy dread, And view those ancient rebels dead : Attend the offered grace to-day

Nor lose the blessing by delay.

And seek an injured Father's face ; Those warm desires that in thee burn,

2 Give me the presence of thy grace ;

Then my rejoicing tongue Shall speak aloud thy righteousness, And make thy praise my song.

3 No blood of goats, nor heifer slain,

For sin could e'er atone : The death of Christ shall still remain Sufficient and alone.

4 A soul, oppressed with sin's desert, My God will ne'er despise ; An humble groan, a broken heart, Is our best sacrifice.

The Penitent. (628.)

1 Peostbate, dear Jesus ! at thy feet,

A guilty rebel lies ; And upwards, to thy mercy-seat, Presumes to lift his eyes.

2 Oh ! let not justice frown me hence ;

Stay, stay the vengeful storm ; Forbid it, that Omnipotence Should crush a feeble worm.

3 If tears of sorrow would suffice

To pay the debt I owe, Tears should, lrom both my weeping eyes, In ceaseless torrents flow.

4 But no such sacrifice I plead

To expiate my guilt ; No tears, but those which thou hast shed, No blood, but thou hast spilt.

5 Think of thy sorrows, dearest Lord !

And all my sins forgive ; Justice will well approve the word, That bids the sinner live.

3 'T is sin, alas ! with tyrant power,

The lodging has possessed ; And crowds of traitors bar the door, Against the heavenly guest.

4 Lord ! rise in thine all-conquering grace,

And knew not where to go ; Eternal truth did loud proclaim, "The sinner must be born again,"

Or sink to endless woe.

2 When to the law I trembling fled, It poured its curses on my head,

I no relief could find ; This fearful truth increased my pain, "The sinner must be born again,"

And whelmed my tortured mind.

3 Again did Sinai's thunders roll, And guilt lay heavy on my soul,

A vast oppressive load : Alas . I read and saw it plain, " The sinner must be born again,"

Or drink the wrath of God.

i The saints I heard with rapture tell, How Jesus conquered death and hell,

And broke the fowler's snare ; Yet, when I found this truth remain, " The sinner must be born again,"

I sunk in deep dispair.

3 But while I thus in anguish lay, The gracious Saviour passed this way,

And felt his pity move ; The sinner, by his justice slain, Now by his grace is born again, And sings redeeming love.

(SOU • The Voice, of Mercy.

1 I hear a voice that conies from far ; From Calvary it sounds abroad : It soothes my soul, and calms my fear ; It speaks of pardon bought with blood.

2 And is it true, that many fly

The sound that bids my soul rejoice ; And rather choose with fools to die, Than turn an ear to mercy's voice ?

3 Alas for those ! — the day is near,

When mercy will be heard no more ; Then will they ask in vain to hear

The voice, they would not hear before.

4 With such, I own, I once appeared,

But now I know how great their loss ; For sweeter sounds were never heard, Than mercy utters from the cross.

5 But let me not forget to own,

That, if I differ aught from those, 'T is due to sovereign grace alone, That oft selects its proudest foes.

The Son with joy looks down, and sees The purchase of his agonies.

Drew forth its dreadful sword, He gave his soul up to the stroke, Without a murm'ring word.

To raise us to his throne; There 's ne'er a gift his hand bestows, But cost his heart a groan.

That, when the Saviour knew — The price of pardon was his blood, His pity ne'er withdrew.

His love is still as great;

Well he remembers Calvary,

Nor lets his saints forget.

While we his death record, And, with our joy for pardoned guilt, Mourn that we pierced the Lord.

And heaven brought in with all its bliss ! — Oh ! is there aught, from pole to pole, One moment, to compare with this ?

3 This is the hidden life I prize, —

A life of penitential love; When most my follies I despise,

And raise my highest thoughts above:

4 When all I am, I clearly see,

And freely own, with deepest shame; When the Redeemer's love to me Kindles within a deathless flame.

And all my former sins forsake; Then rise to God, within the veil, And of eternal joys partake.

1 "Who shall the Lord's elect condemn? —

'T is God, that justifies their souls ; And mercy, like a mighty stream, O'er all their sins divinely rolls.

2 "Who shall adjudge the saints to hell !

'T is Christ that suffered in their stead, And, the salvation to fulfill,

Behold him, rising from the dead !

3 He lives, he lives, and sits above,

For ever interceding there ; Who shall divide us from his love ? Or what, shall tempt us to despair ?

4 Shall persecution or distress, Famine, or sword, or nakedness !

He, that hath loved us, bears us through, And makes us more than conquerors too.

5 Faith hath an overcoming power, It triumphs in the dying hour : Christ is our life, our joy, our hope ; Nor can we sink with such a prop.

6 Not all that men on earth can do,

Nor powers on high, nor powers below, Shall cause his mercy to remove, Or wean our hearts from Christ our love. Isaac Walts, 1707.

And fills all heaven with endless praise.

My soul to this dear refuge flies ; Hope is my anchor, firm and strong, "While tempests blow, and billows rise.

And cast your bright crowns at his feet, His grace and his glory display,

And all his rich lnercv relate ; He snatched you from hell and the grave,

He ransomed from death and despair : For you he was mighty to save,

Ever shall thy love endure.

3 Then what more could I desire, How to greater bliss aspire ? All I need, in thee I see, Thou art All in all to me.

4 Jesus, Saviour all divine !

Hast thou made me truly thine ? Hast thou bought me by thy blood? Reconciled my heart to God ?

o Hearken to my tender prayer, Let me thine own image bear ; Let me love thee more and more, Till I reach heaven's blissful shore.

Towards heaven, thy native place ; Sua, and moon, and stars decay,

Time shall soon this earth remove ; Rise, my soul ! and haste away,

To seats prepared above.

Nor stay in all their course ; Fire ascending seeks the sun ;

Pants to vi3\r his glorious face ; Upward tends to his abode,

To rest in his embrace.

Press onward to the prize ; Soon o it Saviour will return,

Triumphant in the skies : Yet a season, —and you know,

Happy entrance will be given. All our sorrows left below,

And earth exchanged or heaven.

Uttered or unexpressed ; The motion of a hidden fire, That trembles in the breast.

2 Prayer is tin burden of a sigh,

The falling of a tear, The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near.

3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech,

That infant lips can try; Prayer, the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high.

4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath,

The Christian's native air : His watchword at the gates of death : He enters heaven with prayer.

5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice,

Returning from his ways ; While angels in their songs rejoice, And cry — " Behold he prays !"

Still, Saviour ! plead for me, — for me.

Fear shall in me no more have place; My Saviour doth not yet appear;

He hides the brightness of his face: But shall I, therefore, let him go,

And basely to the tempter yield ? No, in the strength of Jesus, no;

I never will give up my shield.

Although the vine its fruit deny,

Although the olive yield no oil, The withering fig-tree droop and die,

The field ( lude the tiller's toil, The empty stall no herd afford,

And perish all the bleating race, — Yet will I triumph in the Lord, —

The God of my salvation praise.

In hope, believing against hope,

Jesus rr.y Lord and God I claim ; Jesus, my Strength, shall lift me up ;

Salvation is in Jesus' name: To me he soon shall bring it nigh;

My soul shall then outstrip the wind, On wings of love mount up on high,

And leave the world and sin behind. Charles Wesley, 1742.

I lift my heart to thee ; In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes, Dear Lord ! remember me.

2 When, groaning, on my burdened heart

My si us lie heavily, My pardon speak, new peace impart, In love, remember me.

3 If on my face, for thy dear name,

Shame and reproaches be, All hail reproach, and welcome shame, If thou remember me !

I own the just decree ; Saviour ! with my last parting breath, I '11 cry — -'Kern ember me ! ;'

1 If Cheist is mine, then all is mine,

And more than angels know ; Both present things and things to come, And grace and glory too.

2 If he is mine, I need not fear

The rage of earth and hell ; He will support my feeble frame, And all their power repel.

3 If he is mine, let friends forsake,

And earthly comforts flee :

He, the Dispenser of all good,

Is more than these to me.

4 If he is mine, 1 11 fearless pass

Through death's tremendous vale ; He '11 be my comfort and my stay, When heart and flesh shall fail.

Psalm 27. (1037.)

1 Soon as I heard my Father say, —

"Ye children ! seek my grace ;" My heart replied without delay, — "I '11 seek my Father's face. "

2 Let not thy face be hid from me,

Nor frown my soul away ; God of my life ! I fly to thee, In a distressing day.

3 Should friends and kindred near and dear,

Leave me to want, or die, My God would make my life his care, And all my need supply.

4 My fainting flesh had died with grief,

Had not my soul believed,

To see thy grace provide relief ;

Nor was my hope deceived.

5 Wait on the Lord, ye trembling saints !

And keep your courage up : He '11 raise your spirit when it faints, And far exceed your hope.

Of never-failing skill, He treasures up his bright designs, And works his sovereign will.

3 Ye fearful saints! fresh courage take;

The clouds, ye so much dread. Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head.

4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,

But trust him for his grace; Behind a frowning providenee, He hides a smiling face.

5 His purposes will ripen fast,

Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower.

And scan his work in vain; God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.

1 Great God. whose universal sway

The known and unknown worlds obey! Now give the kingdom to thy Son; Extend his power, exalt his throne.

2 Thy sceptre well becomes his hands, All heaven submits to his commands; His justice shall avenge the poor, And pride and rage prevail no more.

3 As rain on meadows newly mown, So shall he send his influence down: His grace, on fainting souls, distills, Like heavenly dew, on thirsty hills.

4 The heathen lands, that lie beneath The shades of overspreading death, Revive at his first dawning light; And deserts blossom at the sight.

5 The saints shall flourish in his days, Dressed in the robes of joy and praise; Peace, like a river, from his throne, Shall flow to nations yet unknown.

3 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on his love, with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his name.

4 Blessings abound where'er he reigns; The prisoner leaps to lose his chains; The weary find eternal rest,

And all the sons of want are blessed.

2 Put all thy beauteous garments on, And let thy various charms be known; The world thy glories shall confess, Decked in the robes of righteousness.

3 No more shall foes unclean invade, And fill thy hallowed walls with dread; No more shall hell's insulting host, Their vict'ry and thy sorrows boast.

4 God, from on high, thy groans will hear; His hand thy ruins shall repair;

Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease To guard thee in eternal peace.

To set the captive free, To take away transgression,

And rule in equity.

2 He comes, with succor speedy,

And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing,

Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying.

Were precious in his sight.

3 He shall come down, like showers

Upon the fruitful earth, And love, joy, hope, like flowers,

Spring in his path to birth: Before him on the mountains,

Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness, in fountains,

From hill to valley now.

And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, — A kingdom without end:

The tide of time shall never

His cove'nant remove ; His name shall stand for ever; That name to us is — Love.

Till ever}' tribe and tongue, Keceive the great salvation,

And join the happy throng.

Of earth and hell combine ? His power, throughout their regions,

Shall soon resplendent shine: Ride on, 0 Lord ! victorious,

Immanuel, Prince of peace ! Thy triumph shall be glorious, —

Thine empire still increase.

O Jesus, King of kings ! Thy light, thy love, thy favor,

Each ransomed captive sings: The isles for thee are waiting,

The deserts learn thy praise, The hills and valleys greeting.

OU»/« Zion' s Glory.

1 Zion is Jehovah's dwelling;

There the King of kings appears; H ir's is glory, far excelling

All the worlding sees, or hears:

(11

Zion's walls are everlasting,

Formed through endless years to shine; Strength and beauty, never-wasting,

Show their origin divine.

Zion claims peculiar honor;

High distinction marks her lot; Light eternal shines upon her;

Her's a sun, that faileth not: Zion's city hath foundations;

God himself has raised her walls; She survives the wreck of nations;

Zion stands, whatever falls.

Happy they who, now discerning

Zion's glory, thither move! Earth, with all its honors, spurning,

Zion is the place they love: There the Lord, his face disclosing,

Fills his people's hearts with joy; While, from all their toils reposing,

Bliss is theirs without alloy.

Brethren ! let the prospect cheer us;

Fair the lot that's cast for us: When we call, our God will hear us:

Happy who are favored thus ! Let thi timid fear no longer:

What though earth and hell oppose? He who pleads our cause is stronger,

Stronger far, than all our foes.

1 Let Zion's watchmen all awake,

And take th' alarm they give ; Now let them from the mouth of God, Their solemn charge receive.

2 'T is not a cause of small import

The pastor's care demands ; But what might fill an angel's heart, And filled a Saviour's hands.

3 They watch for souls, for which the Lord

Did heavenly bliss forego; — For souls, which must for ever live In raptures, or in woe.

4 All to the great tribunal haste,

Th' account to render there ; And shouldst tbou strictly mark our faults, Lord ! how should we appear ?

5 May they that Jesus, whom they preach,

Their own Kedeemer, see ; And watch thou daily o'er their souls, That they may watch for thee.

And let it swiftly run ; Let all who preach the word believe, And put salvation on.

(1131.)

3 Beyond the reach of mortals, spread

Their light where'er they go ; And heavenly influences shed On all the world below.

4 As giants may they run their race,

Exulting in their might ; As burning luminaries, chase The gloom of error's night.

Their healing wings display; And let their lustre still increase Unto the perfect day.

With joy receive the word ; They see what wisdom, power, and love, Shine in their dying Lord.

3 The vital savor of his name

Restores their fainting breath ; But unbelief perverts the same To guilt, despair, and death.

Like showers of heavenly rain, In vain Apollos sows the ground, And Paul may plant in vain.

1 Witness, ye men and angels! now,

Before the Lord we speak; To him. We make our solemn vow, A vow we dare not break; —

2 That, long as life itself shall last,

Ourselves to Christ we yield; Nor from his cause will we depart, Or ever quit the fit Id.

3 We trust not in our native strength,

But on his grace rely, That, with returning wants, the Lord Will all our need supply.

4 Oh! guide our doubtful feet aright,

And keep us in thy ways; And, while we turn our vows to prayers, Turn thou our prayers to praise.

When those, that love the Lord, In one another's peace delight, And so fulfill his word ! —

2 When each can feel his brother's sigh,

And with him bear a part; When sorrow flows from e37e to eye, And joy from heart to heart: —

3 When, free from envy, scorn, and pride,

Our wishes all above. Each can his brother's failings hide, And show his brother's love: —

4 When love, in one delightful stream,

Through every bosom flows; When union sweet, and dear esteem, In every action glows.

The happy souls above; And he 's an heir of heaven that finds His bosom glow with love.

Unless thou return again : Keep no longer at a distance,

Shine upon us from on high, Lest, for want of thine assistance,

Every plant should droop and die.

Every part looked gay and green ; Then thy word our spirits nourished :

Happy seasons we have seen ! But a drought has since succeeded,

And a sad decline we see : Lord ! thy help is greatly needed ;

Help can only come from thee.

3 Some, in whom we once delighted,

We shall meet no more below : Some, alas ! we fear, are blighted,

Scarce a single leaf they show: Dearest Saviour ! hasten hither,

Thou canst make them bloom again Oh ! permit them not to wither,

Let not all our hopes be vain.

Make us prevalent in prayers ; Let each one, esteemed thy servant, Shun the world's bewitching snares

Break the tempter's fatal power, Turn the stony heart to flesh,

1 Thank and praise Jehovah's name;

For his mercies, firm and sure, From eternity the same, To eternity endure.

2 Let the ransomed thus rejoice,

Gathered out of every land, As the people of his choice,

Plucked from the destroyer's hand.

3 To a pleasant land he briugs,

Where the vine and olive grow, Where, from flowery hills, the springs Through luxuriant valleys flow.

He, with health, renews their frame, Lengthens out their numbered days:

Let them glorify his name, With the sacrifice of praise.

5 Oh! that men would praise the Lord, For his goodness to their race; For the wonders of his word, And the riches of his grace !

If from the heart it does not flow, To prove our grief sincere.

1 How blest the righteous, when he dies,

When sinks a weary soul to re;:t ! How mildly beam the closing eyes 1

How gently heaves th' expiring breast !

2 So fades a summer cloud away ;

So sinks the gale, when storms are o'er; So gently shuts the eye of day ; So dies a wave along the thore.

3 A holy quiet reigns around,

A calm which life nor death destroys : And naught disturbs that peace profound, Which his unfettered soul enjoys.

Once they knew, like us below, Gloomy doubts, distressing fears,

Torturing pain, and heavy woe.

2 Mid the chorus of the skies,

Mid th' angelic lyres above, Hark ! their songs melodious rise,

Songs of praise to Jesus' love : Happy spirits ! ye are fled,

"Where no grief can entrance find ; Lulled to rest the aching head,

Soothed the anguish of the mind.

3 All is tranquil and serene,

Calm and undisturbed repose, There no cloud can intervene,

There no angry tempest blows : Every tear is wiped away,

Sighs no more shall heave the breast Night is lost in endless day,

Sorrow, in eternal rest.

1 There is a land of pure delight,

Where saints immortal reign, Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain.

2 There, everlasting spring abides,

And never- withering flowers;

Death, like a narrow sea, divides

This heavenly land from ours.

3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood,

Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between.

4 But timorous mortals start and shrink

To cross this narrow sea; And linger, shivering on the brink, And fear to launch away.

5 Oh ! could we make our doubts remove, —

These gloomy doubts that rise, — And see the Canaan that we love, With unbeclouded eyes; —

6 Could we but climb where Moses stood,

And view the landscape o'er, [flood. Not Jordan's stream-, nor death's cold Should fright us from the shore.

»tO« Wayfarers.

1 Wayfarers in the wilderness,

By morn, and noon, and even, Day after day, we journey on,

With weary feet towards heaven: Chorus. O land above ! O land of love !

The glory shineth o'er thee: O Christ, our King ! in mercy bring

Us thither, we implore thee !

2 By day the cloud before us goes,

By night the cloud of lire, To guide us o'er the trackless waste,

To Canaan ever nigher: Chorus. - O land above ! etc.

3 Each morning find we, as he said,

The dew of daily manna; And ever, when a foe appears,

Confronts him Christ, our Banner: Chorus. — O land above ! etc.

4 The spa was riven for our feet,

And so shall be the river; [home,

And, by the King's highway brought

We '11 praise his name for ever: Chorus. — O land above ! etc.

1 One sweetly solemn thought

Comes to me o'er and o'er ; I 'm nearer home to-day

Than e'er I 've been before :

2 Nearer my Father's house,

Where the blest mansions be ; Nearer the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea :

3 Nearer the bound where we

Must lay our burdens down ; Nearer to leave the cross, Nearer to gain the crown.

4 The waves of that deep sea

Eoll dark before my sight, But break, the other side, Upon a shore of light.

5 Oh ! if my mortal feet

Have almost gained the brink, If I am nearer home

To-day than e'en I think : G Father ! perfect my trust, That I may rest, in death, On Christ, my Lord, alone. And thus resign my breath.

4 OlP • The Heavenly Home. ( 1462.)

1 There is a blessed home

Beyond this land of woe, Where trials never come, Nor tears cf sorrow flow :

2 Where faith is lost in sight,

And patient hope is crowned, And everlasting light Its glory throws around.

3 Oh ! joy all joys beyond,

To see the Lamb who died, And count each sacred wound In hands, and feet, and side !

4 To give to him the praise

Of every triumph won, And sing, through endless days, The great things he hath done !

5 Look up, yo r aints of God !

Nor fear to tread below The path, your Saviour trod, Of daily toil and woe. G Wait but a little while, In uncomplaining love ; His own most gracious smile Shall welcome you above.

There remains a land of rest ; There my Saviour 's gone before me, To fulfill my soul's request. There is rest for the weary,

There is rest for you, On the other side of Jordan, In the sweet fields of Eden, Where the tree of life is blooming, There is rest for you.

2 He is fitting up my mansion,

Which eternally shall stand, For my stay shall not be transient, In the holy, happy laud.

3 Pain and sickness ne'er shall enter,

Grief nor woe my lot shall share ; But. in that celestial centre, I a crown of life shall wear.

4 Death itself shall then be vanquished,

And his sting i hall be withdrawn : Shout for gladness, 0 ye ransomed ! Hail with joy the rising morn.

Shout your triumph as you go ; Zion's gate will open for you,

You shall find an entrance through.

Chanting at the crystal sea,— Alleluia ! alleluia !

2 Multitude, which none can number,

Like the stars in glory stand, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of victory in their hands.

3 They have come from tribulation,

And have washed their robes in blood, Washed them in tho flood of Jesus ; Tried they were, and firm they ttood.

4 Gladly, Lord ! with thee thev suffered ;

Gladly, Lord ! with thee they died, And. by death, to life immortal They were born and glorified.

5 Now they reign in h< avenly glory,

Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bbss and infinite. G Love and peace they taste for ever, And all truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessed Trinity.

TESTIMONIALS.

Bv far the best collection of hymns in existence. (Rev. Berrick Johnson, iu». Phiia.. Pa.)

l>r. Herrick Johnson is justified in his verdict that it is Una best Hymn book in the WOlld. (Uev. James s. Kemper, Dayton, O.)

The hymns and the tunes, both in themselves and in their mutual a. lactation, are admirable. Attracted by the signal excellence of the book, we have adopted it for use. in our church. (Rev. Henry Martyu Scud- der, D.D.. Brooklyn. X. Y.)

I am delighted with its appearance and arrange- ments. (Rev. Samuel J. Nicolls, D.D., St. Louis, Mo.)

The best selection in existence. A selection un- rivaled on earth. (Rev. Joel Jewell, Sylvauia, Pa.)

I heartilv wish our Assembly would adopt it. (Rev. Edward P." Humphrey, D.D., LL.D., Louisville, Ky.)

I am prepared to assign the work the first place, and call it the latest and the best for congregational use. (Rev. Epher Whitaker, Southhold, L. I.

It surpasses any and every other work of the kind ever issued from the press. (Mr. E. M. Whitaker, Washington, D. C.)

It bears evidence throughout of unusual study and care. (Rev. Frederick M. Bird, Spotswood, N. J.)

It will be highly appreciated by hymnologists. (Rev. Zachary Eddy, D.D., Chelsea, Ma.ss.)

Altogether, the completest book of hymns that has ever been issued; a mounment of great labor, sound judgment and true lyrical taste. Then, the skill and judgment that have been used in the musical ar- rangement, with such admirable taste, contribute to make the book about as near perfection as we can expect to come. (Rev. J. M. Bachelder, Albia, Iowa.)

Dr. Hatfield's work seems past criticism. I feel satisfied that the Church Hymn and Tune Book is the book. (Rev. J. Augustine Hood, Marva, 111.)

It meets my full and cordial approbation. Its peculiarities are its excellencies. (Rev. Win. Patton, D. D., New Haven, Ct.)

I am deeply impressed with its extraordinary ex- cellence. (Rev. Aaron Rittenhouse (M. Ep.), Hestin- ville, W. Phila., Pa.)

It approves itself to us by its careful and copious selection of valued hymns, and by its rescue and preservation of the good old tunes. The body, as well as the soul of the book, is so attractive that it does its part in giving tone and character to our chapel singing. (Chancellor Howard Crosbv, D.D., LL.D., New York.)

I can hardly overstate the satisfaction which a thorough examination of the book has given me. I do not he si tat • to pronounce it, in my judgment, by far the best Hymn and Tune Book in existence. (Rev. Win. L. Gaylord, Merideu, Ct)

One of the latest and richest of the hymn books- rich both in its dainty paper and type, and in its collection of hymnologic wealth. An admirable hymn book. (Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, D.D., Brooklyn, N. Y.)

All that can be desired, and I hope and believe it will become the standard collection of the Presby- terian and Congregational churches. (Mr. J. M. Tibbits, Windham, Ct)

A valuable contribution to the hymnology of our country. Equal, il not superior, to any other hymn and tune book we have seen. (Rev. Robert W. Pat- terson, D.D., Chicago, HI.)

It fills my ideal of what such a book should be better than anything 1 have seen. The selection of hymns is admirable, (Rev. Joseph T. Smith, 1>.D., Baltimore. Mil.)

Having examined carefully both the hymns and the music of this collection, I do not hesitate to pro- nounce it. in both these respects, one of the very best extant The collection of hymns is very large, yet there is not one of them that has not a fair claim to the place it occupies. The information given, In respect to the authorship and dates of hymns and tunes, is more extensive and satisfactory than is elsewhere to be found in any single volume that has come tinder my observation. In short, the book is unsurpassed. (Rev. Raymond H. Seeley, D.D., Haverhill, Mass.)

The Church Hymn Book is an uncompromising Congregational Singing Book. Every tune has ap- parently been selected for that purpose and no other. There is not a musical composition in the entire book which will n^t in time become available for Congregational use. Great care has been bestowed upon the harmony and phrasing of the tunes to im- part to each, as far as possible, that sonority and choiral quality in its rendering analogous to the oro- tund voice in Oratory. This merit was noticed by the writer in playing through the music of the book in score, and the impression has been verified by the singing of the congregation. The effect of the music cannot tail to be the education of any congre- ! gation who may employ it, in the execution and ap- i preciation of true Choral Psalmody. The best of I congregational singing books, and one that will dis- | courage any further attempts at such compilations. (Rev. Charles W. Wood, Silver Creek, N. Y.)

I have carefully compared it with Hymn Books in common use, and have no hesitancy in pronouncing it the best Hymn Book I have ever examined, and in j a ministry of almost thirty years, I have seen and used a large variety. As a Tune Book, for so large a collection, it is superior to any other book of which I have any knowledge. It would be a marvelous step in advance, if this book could be introduced into all our churches. (Rev. Silas S. Hyde, Hicksville, Ohio. ) The tunes impress me as being of a very lofty order, well adapted to the sentiment of the hymns; and the hymns embracing such a wide selection, on such a variety of subjects, seem eminently fitted to express the feelings of devotion and thankfulness of the Christian heart, both in the pub- lic services of the sanctuary and in the home circle. I do not see how our General Assembly can do better than to adopt it as our Church Hymn Book. (Rev. Wm. S. Knight, Augusta, 111.

The Church Hymn Book deserves a place in every Christian Congregation in the land. I am greatly rejoiced that so perfect a Hymn and Tune Book should be issued, and regard it as the ne plus ultra. (Rev. James A. Little, Hokendaugua, Pa.)

I want to tell you how much we like your Hymn Book, of which we have 400 copies in use. Every one speaks so highly of the entire work, that I have no hesitation, in behalf of our whole people, to express to you our hearty thanks for this great and good work that you have done, and for the lasting service you have rendered to the church. (Rev. B. Sunder- land, D.D., Washington, D. C.)

The adaptation of hymns to tunes is in iuo.-t ex- cellent taste, and the hymns themselves are admira-

bly selected. In fact the Whole book is first class in

every respect, and surpasses, in many respects

twp of the very best works of this class hitherto published. (Charles P. Turner, M. D., Phila., Pa.)

It is without qualification the best book of the sort I ever saw. (Rev. Johu S. Hays, Louisville, Ky.

Dr. Hatfield, the compiler of this new Hymn book, has some unusual qualifications for the work. He has long been known as one of our best and most accu- rate hymnologists. He has had access to all the chief works, older and recent; and has the requisite skill and judgment to avail himself of all these, selecting the best and rejecting what is insignificant. The result is the production of a work which has already taken its place in the front rank with the best among its competitors. It cannot fail to have a cordial re- ception, and to be widely used. (The Presbyterian Quarterly and Princeton Review, New York.)

It has most thoroughly satisfied us in its hymns, its tunes, and its arrangement, while in its typo- graphical appearance it is superior to any similar book yet published. We are ready to give it our unqualified commendation, as, in all respects, the best book of the kind we have ever seen. A collec- tion that is remarkable for its richness, fullness, and adaptation for every reasonable want. The editor, publishers and the public, are to be congratulated, and we have no hesitation in recommending the Church Hymn Book most cordially and unreservedly. (The Congregational Quarterly, Boston, Mass.)

This new collection, the result of many years' careful study and preparation by one of the most learned and experienced hymnologists in our coun- try, Rev. Edwin P. Hatfield, D.D., might almost be termed a Hymnological Encyclopaedia, so exten- sive is the selection from all sources, and at the same time so judiciously made. The book is creditable to the publishers as well as to the compiler. (New York Observer.)

Those who are aware of the scrupulous accuracy and patient investigation of the Stated Clerk of our General Assembly, will naturally regard with confi- dence the result of his studies, and many of them are aware of the great attention which for many years he has paid to the past as well as to the present hymnology of the church. The result is a book which contains the selectest gems of our Christian lyric literature, while it is claimed by the author that no similar compilation can compare with this in the "number, variety, availability and general excellence of its tunes." (New York Evangelist.)

A collection which, in some important particulars, has no rival. It includes a larger number of hymns than is found in any similar compilation; and yet, by careful economy of space, this volume scarcely exceeds the proportions of others. We give the book great credit for its selection of tunes. The Church Hymn Book is beautifully printed. We -wish it large success, for it is designed to promote singing by the whole congregation, and it is admirably adapted to its end. (The Christian Intelligencer, New York.)

The examination of a new hymn book, of any de- gree of merit, is always a pleasant task to us, and it is doubly so when all parts of the work have been so carefully and well executed as in the volume before us, of which Dr. Hatfield is the editor. The number of hymns is large, but we have noticed nothing that seemed to us unworthy of its place. Evidently, a taste at once devout, refined aud catholic, has guided the selection. It seems to us an unusually valuable addition to the works of its class. (The Christian Union, H. W. Beecher, Ed., New York.)

In several respects it is superior to any similar publication with which we are familiar. It is a most rich and varied compilation, containing, in all its departments, an abundance of poetical and singable hymns. We know of no hymn and tune book which, in its musical arrangement, is superior to this one. It is issued in a style which gives great credit to ite publishers. The typography is splendid. We do not hesitate to commend it to the churches, believing that it is destined to secure extensive use, as it is an attractive book, and every way worthy of patronage. (The Independent, New York.)

It is well calculated to supply the want which has been so long and so deeply felt. It has certainly reached a much higher point of excellence than any that have gone before it; so high that, with our pres- ent state of hymnology, it would be difficult to ex- ceed it. It will bear the closest scrutiny, and if it has faults it is not easy to find them. The whole work shows immense research, careful discrimina- tion, sound judgment and refined taste. This vol- ume is a gem of poetry and music. (The Eclectic Magazine, New York.)

The Church Hymn Book is a splendid production- It must have cost many years of loving and assidu- ous labor, and, taken as a whole, Ave deem it superior to any other hymn book we are acquainted with. (The Union Advocate, New York. )

The writer has used this book for the last few Sab- baths, and with a growing feeling that as a manual of Praise it is not surpassed by anything hitherto brought under his notice. (The Illustrated Christian weekly of the American Tract Society, New York.)

We can, without hesitation, pronounce the book before us to be one of the very best of the hymn and tune books thus far produced. The adaptation of the tunes to the hymns is in the main exceedingly happy and judicious. The mechanical execution de- serves all praise. (The Christian World, New York.)

For half his life, Dr. Hatfield has been an enthusi- astic student of psalmody, and we are ready to be- lieve at the outset that the book he has now produced must be one of the best of its kind. He has culled from a wider field than most compilers, and with good taste. Dr. Hatfield has given the churches a staudard hymn and tune book. (The Congregation- alism Boston, Mass.)

We regard it as one of the best published. It is much to be preferred to anything published by our Board of Publication, and anything that will be likely to come from the best committee that can be appointed. Dr. Hatfield's book would be used in many churches if its merits were known. (The Her- ald and Presbyter, Cincinnati, Ohio.)

Dr. Hatfield is unusually well qualified for such a work as this, by his natural taste, his musical ac- quirements, his long pastoral experience, and his possession of the largest collection of hymn books in this country. To the preparation of this book he has devoted much labor and care during many years. This admirable book of Praise is one of very great merit, and will be highly prized by all the lovers of sacred music. The compiler and publisher deserve the gratitude of all the friends of sacred music and of congregational singing, for the manner in 'which they have discharged their respective duties. (The Presbyterian Banner, Pittsburg, Pa.)

Dr. Hatfield's new and beautiful Hymn Book, with Tunes, is winning golden opinions from the best quarters, and is, in the view of many, to become speedily the Hvmn Book of the Presbyterian Church. (The Interior, Chicago, 111.)
