INTI[ODUCTORY TO THE NEW HYMI(ARY.

Four years ago the Hymnary was presented to the Christian public. It has met with remarkable success, the sale of the book having exceeded the expectations of the publishers. The work was issued to meet the demand of a "growing sentiment in favor of a higher standard of hymns and tunes in our Sunday Schools."

Experience has taught the Editor, that such a book is susceptible of still further improvement. No change has been made in the character of the hymns — in tunes, the improvement has been marked. The age demands such tunes as have a well pronounced and distinct melody. Those melodies need not be puerile, but should be based on the laws of melody and arranged in four parts according to well defined laws of harmony. Seventy new pages have been substituted for the old and somewhat stereoty43ed or angular forms, which though good in themselves, are hard and disagreeable to the ear.

The "New Hymn.\ry" will, it is believed, find its way to the hearts and homes of the people, places of public worship, as well as to the Sunday Schools of the land, for which it is more especially designed. The good old hymns of such men as the Bernards, Watts, Doddridge, Wesley, Heber, and Montgomery, with such medixval writers and translators as Neale, Caswall, Faber and the like, will be found wedded to music by such composers as Dykes, Sullivan, Smart, Tours, Barney, E. J. Hopkins, Calkin, Steggall, Stainer, Goss, JoH.^ H. Cornell, and others.

The Editor desires to make kind acknowledgment to Mr. Hubert P. M.\IN, for several new tunes expressly

written for this work, and also for valuable assistance in the editing of it,

S. L.

The Publishers will hold to strict account every infringement of copyright on this work.

1. Rest for the toiling hand, Rest for the anxious brow, Rest for the weary, way-sore feet, Rest from all labor now.

Awake, come forth and ning: Sharp has your frost of winter been, But bright shall be your i?priug.

3 As in the dawning, o'er the waveless ocean,

Tlie image of the morning-star doth rest ; So in this stillness. Thou beholdest only. Thine image in the waters of my breast.

4 Still, still to Thee 1 as to each new-born morning,

A fresh and solemn splendor still is given. So does this blessed consciousness awaking, Breathe each day nearness unto Thee and heaven.

5 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber,

Its closing eye looks up to Thee in prayer ; _ Sweet the repose beneath Thy wings o'ershading, But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there.

6 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning.

When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee ; O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning, Shall rise the glorious thought — I am with Thee.

By a thousand snares surrounded : Keep us without sin to-day.

Never let us be eonfiunded. Lo! I put my trust in Thee, Never, Lord, abandon me.

Angel-choirs above are raising Cherubim and Seraphim

In unceasing chorus praising, Fill the heavens with sweet accord : Holy 1 Holy ! Holy Lord 1

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

Than I " ever • have ) been before.

2 Nearer my | Father's house,

Where the | many mansions | be ; Nearer the | great ■white throne Nearer the | crystal sea ;

8 Nearer the | bound of life,

Where we | lay our burdens | down; Nearer | leaving ' the eross.

Nearer ' gain | -ing the crown.

4 But lying | darkly • between,

Winding | down — • through the | night. Is the silent, | unknown stream,

That leads at • kst — | to the light

5 Oh, if my | mortal feet

Have I almost gained the | brink; If it be 1 am | nearer home

Even to- • -day — | tlian I think :

6 Father, | perfect • my trust.

Let my | spirit feel in | death That her feet are | firmly set

On the • rock • of a | Uving faith. Amen.

And all your conflicts past, You may o'ercome, through Christ alone

And stand complete at last.

Which cow the angels sing.

Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall ;

Angels adore Him, in slumber reclining. Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all.

3. Say, shall we jaeld Him, in costly devotion.

Odors of Edom, and offerings divine ? Gems from the mountain, and pearls from the ocean.

Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?

Vainly we offer each ample oblation.

Vainly with gold would His favor secure :

Richer, by far, is the heart's adoration ; Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

5.

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darlcness, and lend us Thine aid !

Star of East, the horizon adorning. Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

Here let all,

Great and small, Kneel in awe and wonder. Love Him who with love is yearning ;

Hail the Star

That from far Bright with hope is burning !

4 Te who pine in weary sadness,

Weep no more, For the door Now is found of gladness.

Cling to Him, for He will guide you

Where no cross,

Pain or loss. Can again betide you. 5 Thee, dear Lord, with heed I'll cherUh,

Live to Thee,

And with Thee Dying, shall not peiisli — • But shall dwell with Thee for ever.

Far on high,

In the joy That can alter never.

2 On thee at tlie creation

The light first had its birth ; On tliee, for our salvation

Christ rose from depths of earth ; On thee, our Lord, victorious,

The Spirit sent from heaven ; And thus on tliee, most glorious,

A three-fold light is given.

3 O day of sweet reflection,

Thou art a day of love ; 0 day of resurrection,

From earth to things above, When Gospel light is glowing

With pure and I'adiant beams, And living water flowing

With soul-refreshing streams.

4 New graces ever gaining

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.

FORWARD! BE OUR WATCHWORD.— Concluded. 121

S Glories upon glories

Hath our God prepared. By the souls that love Him

One day to be shared : Eye hath not beheld them,

Ear hath never heard ; Nor of these hath uttered

Thought or speech a word : Forward, marching eastward

Where the heaven is bright, Till the veil be lifted,

Till our faith be sight !

To the Eternal Father

Loudest anthems raise : To the Son and Spirit

Echo songs of praise : To the Lord of Glory,

Blessed Three in One, Be by men and angels

Endless honor done. Weak are earthly praises.

Dull the songa of night. Forward into triumph.

Forward into light I Amen.

There's a home for little children

Above the bright blue sky. Where Jesus reigns in glory,

A home of peace and joy ; No home on earth is like it.

Nor can with it compare, For every one is happy.

Nor can be happier there.

There are crowns for little children

Above the bright blue sky. And all who look to Jesus,

Shall wear them by-and-by. Yea, crowns of brightest glory,

Which He shall sure bestow On all who love the Saviour,

And walk with Him below.

5 There are songs for little children Above the bright blue sky. And harps of sweetest music, For their hymn of victory : And all above is pleasure,

And found in Christ alone : Oh come, dear little children. That all may be your own ! Amen.

4 Who, who would live alway, away from his God ; Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode.

Where theri versof pleasure flow o'er the bright plains. And the noontide of glory eternally reigns ?

i Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet, !

Their Saviour and brethren transported to greet ; ' I While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll,

And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul. ,1

For evermore they spring. And all the nations of the earth

To thee their honors bring.

Or watches at Thy gates By day and night, a heart tliat still Moves at the breathing of Thy wUl.

1. Let me never say a word That will make Thee angry, Lord ; Help me so to live in love, As Thine Angels do above.

Make me. Lord, in work and play, Thine more truly ev'ry day ; And when Thou at last shall come. Take me to Thy heav'uly liome. Amen.

The thoughts of pride and anger rise, When bitter words are on our tongues And tears of passion in our eyes ;

2 AVhat Thou, my Lord, hast suffer'd

Was all for sinners' gain : Mine, mine was the transgression.

But Thine the deadly pain ; Lo, liere I fall, my Saviour !

Tis I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favor.

Vouchsafe to me Thy gi'ace.

3 The joy can ne'er be spoken,

Above all joys beside, When in Thy body broken

I thus with safety hide : My Lord of Life, desiring

Thy glory now to see ;

Beside Thy cross expiring. I'd breathe my soul to Thee.

4 Wliat language shall I borrow.

To praise Thee, heav'uly Friend : For this. Thy dying sorrow,

Thy pity without end ? 0 make me Thine forever.

And should I fainting be. Lord, let me never, never

Outlive my love to Thee !

5 And when I am departing,

0 part not Thou from me 1

When mortal pangs are darting, Come, Lord, and set me free !

And when my heart must languish Amidst the final throe,

Release me from mine angnish. By Thine own pain and woe !

6 Be near when I am dying,

O show Thy cross to me ! And for my succor flying,

Come, Lord, and set me free ! These eyes, new faith receiving,

From Jesus shall not move ; For he who dies believing.

Dies Bafely, through Thy love.

NOTES ON GERMAN CHORALS.

173

A FFW of the most celebrated Gei-man Chorals are inserted, with no apology for their appearance on the ground of novelty. They are the oldest melodic form of wors^hip, hecrinning with the era of the Great Reformation, when many hymuli wor^i translated from the Latin into German, and adapted to Tunes— oft-times "Volk--Gesaago" (Peop^^'^s-Songs), many of which were originally in triple measure. Martin Luther did much of this kind of work. The belief that he is the author of " Old Hundred " is a mistake : it was written by Franc, a Frenchman, who adapted it from a sec- ular son;^.

Boston has introduced, at the School Cliildren's Annual Festi- vals, several of these Chorals with ":reat success; and at a recent entertainment in the Brooklyn, N, Y., Academy of Music, by the Sunday School Union, the Choral " Our God stands firm, a Rock and Tower," was sung by a chorus of a thousand children with sublime effect

Note A. Our God gt amis firm, a Rock and Tower. (Ein' feste Burg isc unser Gott.)— This version of the Forty-sixth Psalm— known as Luther's— was arranged by Martin Luther (1483-154()). about the year 15-2* at Coburg. Meyerbeer introduced this Choral iu the Opera of ''The Uugueuots; " Otto Nicolai also, in his Fes- tival Overture for orchestra and chorus ; and latterly Richard Wag- ner some of the lines in his Kaiser-Marsch. It was first printed by J. Klug, Wittenberg, 1521), and appeared in the "Augsburger Gesansbuch," 1531 The first and second verses of this transla- tion are by the Rev. Robert Corbet Singleton, M.A., the third verse added by the eame author in ISiiT.

Note B. Lord J-ints Christ, my Life, my Light (Herr Jesus Christ, mein Lebenslicht, also called^ O Jesu Christ, meines Lcbcns Lichtt, first appeared in 16W, in triple measure, and was published by Joseph Claudero in " Psalmodia Nova," Leipzig, l(>iO. The author of the melody is unknown. Mendelssohn introduces it in "St. Paul." This version is translated by Mias Catharine Wink- worth of Clifton, England, 135i.

Note C. ^yake, awake, for night is jlying (Wachet anf I raft uns die Slimme), composed by PhiUpp Nicolai (1536-1008), was first known in lo'M, and was published in Fhilipp Nicolai's "' Freu- denspiegel des ewigen Lebeus," Fraukfort-am-Main, 1599. The psesent arr.in,!jeracnt is nearly the same as that used by Mcndeis- Bohn in ''St. Paul." Translated by Miss Wiukworth, 1802, in "Lyra Germanica."

Note D. From Heaven above to earth I come. (Vom Ilimmel hoch da komm' ich her )— This was originally a Christmas Carol, aud is with the meloly attributed to Martin Luther, 1540. Von Winterfeld claims that this melody was adapted from a secular eong, entitled •'■ From foreign lands I have couie here " (Aus frem- dea iaadea kouim' ich herj, aud sprung up originally In the 15th

century. The Carol (Weihnachtslied) consisted of fifteen verses of four lines each, and was first published at Magdeburg, in 1540, and altorwards at Wittenberg, 15-13, by Joseph Klug. The present version is translated and adapted by Miss \V inkworth.

Note E. 0 Sacred Head, now icounded. (O Haupt voll Blut und Wundcn, or Herzlich thut mich verlangen.) — This— originally a secular song, "My mind is confused" (Mein Gemuth ist mir ver- wirrt)— is attributed to llans George Haseler (156-1-1612), in bia time one of the most prominent of musicians and organists, and was composed in 1601. As a sacred eong it made its first appear- ance in " Harmonia Sacra," third edition, Goerlitz, 1613. Johann Sebastian Bach has beautifully harmonized and introduced it in his music, "The Passion of Christ." It was originally a Latin hymn, written by Saint Bernard of Clair^'aux, IICK). afterwards translated and adapted as a German Choral by Paul Gerhardt, 1666, and con- tp,ining nine verses. The present translation is from the pen of the late Rev. Br. James W. Alexander of New York.

Note F. To God on high be thanks and praise. (Allein Gott in der IlOh' sei EhrV)— This, based upon a Chorale of the Latin Church and credited to N. Decins, who died of poison in 1530, has been arranged in at least forty different ways, and like many other Chorals usually appears in trfple measure. It was thus arranged by Hans Kugelmann, Augsburg, 1540, in his "Concentus Novi," &c., and simultaneously in " Geistliche Lieder und Pealmen," Magdeburg. 1540, M. Lotther, Printer. Mendelssohn has a superior arrangement of it in "St. Paul." The first and second verses were translated by Miss Winkworth, and the third and fourth by Rev. Hubert Corbet Singleton, M.A., First Warden of St. Petcr'fl CcUege, Radley, England, 1867.

Note G. Now thank we all mtr God.' (Nun danket Alle Gott) — This melody is attributed to Johann Cruder {1598-1662), from the fact that it was first published in his " Geistliche Kirchenmelo- dien," Berlin, 1649. Becker credits it to M. Rinckhardt, (nat. 1586.) This hymn and tune are fully as popular in Germany as the Old Himdrcd in America. Mendelssohn has a magnificent arrangement of it in his "Ilymnof Praise" (Lobgcsanp) — a Cantata for orches- tra aud voices. This translation is by Miss ^Vinkworth.

Note H. 0 Morning Star! hmofair and bright. (Wie echOa leuchtet (uns) der Morgenstern.)— This dates fromthe 16lh century, just previons to the year 1599. Von Winterfeld says it was origin- ally a well known and very popular song; the ninth line being very monotonous. The iiresent arrangement is attributed to Fhi- lipp Nicolai (1556-1608); it was first pnblished in his "Freuden- spiegel des ewigen Lebens," at Fraukfurt-am-Main, 1699. Tko present translation is by Miss Winkworth.
