entered according to Act of Congress, in the year IS:2, by IEE <ft WALKER, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C.

457(33 ';. PREFACE,

ft 7 2L-^

Whenever a new author appears in a well cultivated field of literature, there is a natural desire on the part of the public to know something about the history of his adventure. To all such inquiries we reply, that the follow- ing pages are *l •» recreations of an amateur, and not the work of a professional song-maker.

Prompted by a love of sacred song, and impressed with its importance as an element in Sabbath School instruc- tion, we devoted the spare moments of an otherwise busy life to writing hymns and tunes specially adapted to that work. In two years' time sufficient material had accumulated to form the basis of the work, which, upon being sub- mitted to the criticism of friends, was pronounced sufficiently meritorious to warrant publication.

In presenting it to the public, attention is called to the following special features:

I. Old Hymns. We have introduced many classic hymns from the collections of the leading denominations, which, though enshrined in the hearts of adult Christians, are practically unknown to the children of the Sabbath School.

Although they are the best sacred lyrics in the language, they have been ignored in Sabbath School books, and their place supplied with inferior and ephemeral songs, to satisfy an injudicious and vulgar taste for novelty. We hope our effort to popularize these venerable gems by easy and spirited airs, will be approved by every Sab- bath School officer who prefers lofty poetic conception to religious commonplace.

II. New Hymns. These have been selected with care, and while a few may fall below the true lyric, there are many, which, we believe, will live beyond the edition which gives them birth. We praise the Sabbath School and teachers sparingly, and do not attempt to juvenize the idea of God by the application of pet names. The essence of Christian experience and hope is discussed in the hymns, "Guiding Star," "Praise in the Forest," "Along the River deep and wide," "O City of the Jasper Wall," " Mission of Angels," etc., and no hymn has been admitted, which does not specifically enforce some practical Christian doctrine. Wherever possible, the hymns have been duly accredited; where no credit is given, the author is either unknown, or the hymn is so extensively re-written as to destroy its identity. Quite a number were written by the author, and now appear for the first time in print.

III. The Music. An experience of twenty years in the Sabbath School proves that difficult or spiritless music is thrown aside at the first trial. We have, therefore, endeavored towed the thought presented in our hymna to congenial, spirited, and easy airs, and all unnecessary chromatic ornamentation has been conscientiously avoided. We write not for the praise of adepts, but for the edification of the children, whose wants we aspire to supply.

Finally, acknowledging our indebtedness to J. H. Tenney, Prof. Jno. K. Sweney, and others, for valuable con- tributions to the work, we now send it forth upon its mission. That the blessing of Him who tuned our lips to song, and made it a part of his worship, may accompany it, is the earnest prayer of THE AUTHOR.

Enured, According to act of Congress, in the year 1872, hy LEE WALKER, in the OjScc of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington.

Though long that star has faded,

On eastern sky and shore, It lives in song and story,

And shall forever more. For now th'exalted Savior,

Upon his Father's throne, Shines purer far, and brighter.

Than e'er the symbol 3hone.

To happiness and God. Arise, "Desire of Nations,"

Thy brightness now display; Dispel our night of sorrow, And usher in the day !

Stricken for his sake alone ; All his heart on us is turning,

Thou gem, set in the cloud ! Pure and serene, while loud

The thunders roar; Fit monument divine, God's everlasting sign Of peace to all mankind,

The wide world o'er.

, Dark though the clouds appeal Bright is thy radiant cheer,

Just as in life, When storms of trouble rise, Hope spans the gloomy skies, And scattered darkness flies,

And yields the strife.

Appears in sight; God's covenant with man, Adorns thy graceful span, Ajid loves redeeming plan,

Dawns in thy light.

Stealing gently up the sky, Bears me on its wings to meet him, :fl: Is this death? 'Tis sweet to die. :f:

Jesus calls me, and I'm going, Where the shadows never come;

Now the desert lies behind mo, And I hasten to my home.

To my home, beyond the sunset. Far beyond the day's decline;

Prove yourself a soldier true If, where fire and smoke are thickest,

There's no work for you to do ; When the battle-field is silent,

You can cover up the dead.

Do not, then, stand idly waiting,

For some greater work to do ; Fortune is a lazy goddess

She will never come to you, Go and toil in any vineyard,

Do not fear to clo or dare; If you want a field of labor,

You can find it anywhere..

Still struggling with the foe ; Their pilgrimage was shorter,

Their triumph sooner won, And lovingly they'll hail me,

One heart alone,

To thy immortal praise

In holy trust doth raise.;

O God of truth and grace

Make it thine own.

3. Thou, the Anointed One, God's own eternal Son.

Grant us thine aid; Here let thy favor dwell, Here may thy praises swell; Savior, Imrnanuel,

Be thou our Head.

4. Jehovah Lord and King, Angels thy glory sing

Through endless days ; World without end to thee, To thy great Majesty, Father, Son, Spirit, be

Eternal praise !

. Oft gentle breezes sweet and calm,

Steal softly from those healthful spheres, To bathe the soul with breath of balm,

To soothe its sorrows, dry its tears ; Yea, sometimes listening ears may pain

The chorus of the white-robed choir, Transported, catch the sweet refrain

Of spirit voice, and harp, and lyre.

4. Thera now our loved ones sweetly rest;

Safe o'er the flood, they nevermore Shall heed the billows on its breast,

Shall we all meet our loved ones there?

In the sorrows we deplore, And the richest coronation

When the mortal strife is o'er.

8. Hasten then, ye ransomed legions,

Lift the royal banner high ; Let it wave throughout the regions

In which men yet fear to die. Jesus reigns o'er death victorious.

And his saints are victors too; Souls enshrined in bodies gloriouB,

Shall eternal youth renew.

3. It has passed, and God has promised,

All thy footsteps to attend ; He is more than friend or brother,

He'll be with you to the end. There's no shadow on the portal,

Leading to my heavenly home; Christ has promised life immortal,

And 'tis he that bids me come.

Concluded from opposite page. ■.. Bring my boys unto my bedside, My last blessing let them keep ; But they're sleeping do not wake them,

They'll learn soon enough to weep. Tell them often of their mother,

Kiss them for me when they wake ; Lead them gently in life's pathway, Love them doubly for my sake.

. Clasp mv hand still closer, darling,

This the last night of my life ; For to-morrow I shall never

Answer when you call me wife. Fare thee well my noble husband,

Faint not 'neath the chast'ning rod ; Tlfrow thy strong arm 'round the children,

Keep them close to thee and God.

3. Jesus wept, and still in glory

He can mark each mourner's tear, Living to retrace the story

Of the heart he solaced here; Lord, when I am called to die, Let me think of Bethany.

THE STAR OF HOPE.

2. When the pangs of trial seize us, When the waves of sorrow roll,

I will lay my head on Jesus, Pillow of the troubled soul;

Surely none can feel like thee, Weeping One of Bethany.

Words by Jno. Hoi>gson.

4. Jesus wept ! that tear of sorrow, Is a legacy of love; Yesterday, to-day, to-morrow,

He the same doth ever prove. Thou art all in all to me, Living one of Bethany.

O'er the sad household fell, As smote the ev'ning silence

The boom of a passing bell.

Far out upon the hillside

The winds of winter rave, And th1 brooding moonlight covers

The little, lonely grave"; And I mourn for loving Benny,

So tenderly laid away, In the Christmas box he wished for,

And the narrow house of clay.

3. The Master hath need of the reapers,

And, worker, he calleth to thee; Oh, what are thy dreams of ambition

To the joys that hereafter shall be? There are tokens of storms that are coming,

And summer is fast on the wane; Then, alas! for the hopes of the harvest,

And, alas! for the beautiful grain.

The Master hath need of the reapers,

And he calleth for you and for me; Oh, haste, while the winds of the morning

Are blowing so freshly and free; Let the sound of the scythe and the sickle

Re-echo o'er hill-top and plain ; And gather the sheaves in the garner,

For golden and ripe is the grain.
