Section

" At that time," says Dr. Smith, " I was a student in the Theological Seminary at Andover. One day [Mr. Mason] brought me the whole mass of his books, some bound and some in pamphlet form, and said, in his simple and childlike way, ' There, Mr. Woodbridge has brought me these books. I don't know what is in them. I can't read German, but you can. I wish you would look over them as you find time, and if you fall in with anything I can use, any hymns or songs for the children, I wish you would translate them into English poetry; or, if you prefer, compose hymns or songs of your own, of the same metre and accent with the German, so that I can use them.'

" I accepted the trust not unwillingly, as an agreeable recreation from graver studies, and from time to time gave him the results of my efforts. Thus he was fur- nished with several hymns for the Spiritual Songs, which he was issuing in numbers ; also for the Juvenile Lyre, the first book of children's music ever published in this country, in which most of the songs were my own translations from Naegeli and other German composers

PREFACE.

It has been almost universally believed, that Providence has distributed the peculiar powers necessary for the suc- cessful cultivation of the art of singing, with a hand so very unequal, that the few who are favored, become musicians without difficulty, and almost without instruction or effort, while to the vast majority the attainment of any valuable degree of musical skill is almost entirely hopeless. In this supposed decision of Providence, mankind have generally acquiesced, and have allowed this art to remain solely in the possession of the few, not because they have regarded it as of little value, but because they have considered its attainment impracticable.

A change is, however, very rapidly taking place, upon this subject, in the public mind. Proofs of the very gene- ral, if not universal, power to understand the distinctions of musical sound, and to control, in accordance with them, the modulations of the voice, are multiplying. The number of the young who receive instruction, and make successful progress in this art, is rapidly increasing; and as the hope arises that this acquisition may be made by all, it is viewed with more attention, and its various advantages are more and more highly appreciated. Let us briefly mention some of them.

IV PREFACE.

1. It is a most important means of promoting devotional feelings in the worship of God; and it is far more powerful in its effects upon those who join in it, than upon those who merely listen. It is to be hoped, that the time is coming, when none, who do not labor under peculiar incapacities, will consent to be excluded from this delightful part of di- vine service, or feel themselves excused from joining in the praises of their Creator.

2. Music is, in itself, a source of the purest enjoyment. It may occupy the vacant hours, express, innocently and happily, the lively feelings of childhood and youth, and af- ford rest and refreshment to the mind wearied with the cares and labors of life. The gladness of the heart is calmed, but deepened by its power ; and sorrow almost be- comes enjoyment, by being expressed in song.

3. It promotes health. As a mere exercise, it is consid- ered by many physicians as a most valuable means of strengthening the lungs ; but tranquillity of mind is of more value in restoring the bodily powers than mere mus- cular exertion. How soon does strong mental agitation derange every thing in the system? Grief refuses food; — terror becomes faint and pale; — and long continued anxiety will bring the strongest to the grave. Music reverses these effects, and while it calms the mind, invigorates the body.

4. Its influence is favorable upon the mental powers. From its very nature, it cultivates the habits of order and union. All must follow a precise rule, and act together in obedience to a leader; and the habit thus acquired in one pursuit, necessarily has its influence in others.

5. It improves the heart. No one will question its power to soften the character and elevate the feelings. It diverts, too, the young from amusements of a questionable charac- ter; and it is said that a reformation has, in more than one village and district, been effected, by introducing vocal music among the youth. In the schools upon the continent of Europe, it has been found materially to promote the

PREFACE. V

good order and discipline of the pupils; to render them more kind to each other, and more obedient to their teach- ers.

The full influence of music is only felt where it is com- bined with appropriate words, and is employed in fixing useful instruction in the mind, and elevated and devotional feelings in the heart. Good or evil principles may be fixed most deeply by its influence. The Marseilles Hymn has often nerved the arm to bloodshed, while the songs of Zion have brought to penitence many a sinful heart. It has been justly observed, that the ballads of a nation have more in- fluence than its laws; and in a country, where the laws and the government are based upon the character of the people, it becomes of inconceivable importance that every avenue to the conscience and the heart be guarded by vir- tue and piety. It is with the hope of contributing to this result, that these songs are given to the public. A large portion of them are translated from works which were col- lected by the Rev. William C. Woodbridge,* during a re- cent visit to Germany, and placed by him in the hands of the Editors, with the hope of rendering them useful to the children and youth of this country.

They have peculiar claims to confidence, on the ground that they are derived from collections formed with great care, by individuals familiar with the wants and feelings of children; and have been found by experience admirably adapted to cultivate the powers, elevate the taste, improve the character, and cheer and animate the hearts of whole communities of children. They have also received the sanction of the public guardians of education in many parts of Europe, and form a part of that course of instruction which is deemed indispensable to a well organized school. Most of them have been translated by Mr. S. F. Smith, | "*

VI PREFACE.

such a manner as to preserve the music as originally writ- en. The same gentleman has also lurnished several very beautiful original songs. A number have been taken form an interesting little volume of Poems for Children, by Mrs. Sarah J. Hale, and a few from other sources. To these, original music has been written.

It will be seen that some of the songs are intended to be mere expressions of childish pleasure; — others, descrip- tions of the warmest and best feelings of the heart; — and others still associate moral and religious instruction with the objects we see, and the common events we witness; and thus serve to lead the child 'through nature up to na- ture's God.' Could we put such songs into the mouths of the numerous children of our country, who does not per- ceive the happy influence, which would be exerted on the feelings and manners and morals of the rising generation, on whose character the future destiny of the country de- pends?

blithe and gay, And to cheer us on our way, We will sing a joyful chorus:

Free from care and free from harm, Let us ramble arm in arm.

What care we for all your pleasures,

Ye that ride, or ye that sail i

All our toil is but a tale,

While we look for flowery treasures —

New delights where'er we go,

Can we weary? — No ! no ! no !

3 What care we how far we wander, Whether rough or smooth the way ? Whether shines the sultry ray, Whether rolls the distant thunder?— On we'll go till night-fall come, Then away to home, sweet home !

2*

Come and pluck the beauteous flowers,

See them smiling all around:

Hark ! I hear a charming sound

Swelling from yon shady bowers !

'Tis the little timid thrush,

Come and listen — Hush ! hush ! hush !

5 Thus, our warm affections plighted Through this earthly pilgrimage, We'll each other's cares assuage. Thus with heart to heart united, May we ramble hand in hand In that bright and better land.

Years come on, and years depart, Seasons still are ending,

Flowers bloom and flowers fade, All to dust are tending :

Kingdoms full of might and pride,

Fading glory borrow;

Lay their might and power aside — What are they tomorrow!

3 As the arrow from the string,

Or the swift bird, flying; So we all are hastening,

To the hour of dying. To the grave the aged bows, On his weak stafT leaning; And the freshness of the young

His red cheek is leaving.

Fleeting time conducts us on,

Let us cheerful follow, Till we come where Jesus is,

Where there's no more sorrow. Hasting onward to the grave, Here we ask one favor, Saviour lead us to th\ throne, O forsake us nevei.

In joyous May,

In autumn day, Thy glowing beauties shine; The lovely tints of fields and flowers, The purple clusters in the bowers,

The healthful breeze,

The blooming trees, O Naturt! all are thine!

The fountain clear, The crystal tear, Both gushing bright, are thine. The birds on every forest tree Awake their silvery melody, And old and young In noble song Their nobler voices join. 4 With joy and glee We'll follow thee Onr life's long journey o'er: Where'er we see thy lovely face, Where'er thy beauteous steps we trace, Till we shall stand In yon fair land, And Nature's God adore.

Teachers you are kind,

Thus to point the road,

Leading us from sin

To our Father, God. May we all be dutiful, In the precious Sabbath School. 5

The sabbath-bell rings, The full choir sings,

The minister prays; And God's holy word Devoutly is heard,

And given his grace.

The dear place of prayer — Our teachers are there,

To point us above; Their hearts burn with zeal, That children may feel

The Saviour's kind love.

To school, then, we'll go, For surely we know

Our sabbaths must end; O then to the skies, Redeemed may we rise

To Jesus our friend.

While our boat, a little ranger,

Through the meadows glides along, Free from fear and free from daDger,

Sing we now our little song. Ocean's grandeur, ocean's treasure,

Ocean's beauty charm us not, We are tasting sweeter pleasure,

Floating in this little spot.

Vain is all that gold can offer,

Vain the sceptre and the crown; False the happiness they proffer,

Fleeting all the joys they own. With our humble lot contented,

This is all the boon we crave ; When life's voyage shall be ended,

Peaceful rest beyond the grave.

And the flowers that near them spring,

Of the trees above our head,

And the grass on which we tread ;

Of the little verdant hills,

Purling brooks and running rills.

Listen how the rustling leaves, Ever quivering in the breeze, Send forth each a separate sound, To the echoing woods around; — Sounds of praise to him who made Pine clad hills and forest-glade.

See ! around the brilliant flowers, Freshened by the evening showers ; Bright by morning, bright by night, When comes, and when fades the light, In the cool and leafy grove, Hand in hand we love to rove.

The parting sunbeams lighten ; And autumn's scarlet-colored leaves,

Touched by the red rays, brighten : O see our pretty village there, Mo place on earth is half so fair.

2 *

And now the burning sun is gone;

It only tips the towers That rise above the temple-roof;

And now the darkness lowers. But still our village glimmers there. No place on earth ifi half so fair.

2 Here, my motber, we can stay With thee, in this pleasant room; Who would ask abroad to play, When so cheerful is their home?

3 Soft the song of summer bird, Sweet the breath of summer flower, But a kind, a loving word, Comes with sweeter, softer power.

4 Mother, when the loving voice Checks or cheers, we will obey, And be silent, or rejoice Through this stormy, gloomy day.

5 And when evening shades appear, Brighter still will glow our hearth, Then our father will be here, And his smile will join our mirth.

Come, see the springing corn! Come hear the soft winds singing! Come hear their music ringing, At crimson eve and morn.

Come to the land of song — The land of sweetest fragrance ; Where pleasure throws its radiance, And music floats along.

Up to the hill-tops come — Where bloom the smiling flowers ; And spring, with freshened powers, Awakes its insect hum.

Yet will I not shrink with fear, When the thunder crash I hear; Soon the rainbow will appear,

And the storm be o'er. 3 In the summer's sultry day, When the hot winds round us play, We should sink, the fever's prey,

And revive no more.

But the dark clouds fill the skies, And the vivid lightning flies: When the cooling winds arise,

And our pains are o'er. 5 Never will I feel alarm, God can shield us from all harm; In the sunshine or the storm,

God will I adore.

The morning stars all praise thee ;

The heavenly host on high. The beams of early dawning,

And purple evening sky.

With pleasure thou dost listen, To hear an infant sing,

Thou wilt accept the praises That little children bring.

The fragrant springing-flowers, And summer's glowing rays,

The golden fruits of autumn, And winters frozen days.

To thee I give my being, I consecrate my days ;

And every day ray duty Shal1 be to sing thy praise.

And we will bound abroad And fill our hearts with melody,

Then turning, the shepherd, with joy-crowded thought, Through evening's first twilight, his sweet home sought.

He bade kind adieu to the stars o'er his head — The Shepherd's days flew, but his peace ne'er fled.

As brilliant the dreams round his quiet sleep rise, As Abel's the Shepherd of Paradise.

But still he lingered near, And waited patiently about,

Till Mary did appear; And then he ran to her, and laid

You'll keep me from all harm. 6

Bearer of plenty, pure from the mount, Pours o'er the fields the bright-gushing

Come aroond the pleasant fire, See how sprightly it is burning! Evening lights the tall church spire; All are to their homes returning: Let us try to spend it well, Till we hear its closing bell.

Soon the spring of life will end: Fast our youthful days are flying' To the grave our footsteps tend, Where the frozen snows are lying: Father, when our age is past, O receive our souls at last.
