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.
4. Shine on, oh, blessed Day-star
Wherever man hath trod;
Bring back each long-lost wand'rer
To happiness and God.
Arise, "Desire of Nations,"
Thy brightness now display;
Dispel our night of sorrow,
And usher in the day !

City of beauty,' life without end;
Sin and temptation gone evermore,
Greeting the lov'd ones on a bright shore;
Palaces golden, avenues long,
Mansions resounding forever with song. — Outrun,

Mav not the angels pass to and fro;
Under these arches may they not walk,

Thro' countless ages will endure.

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.

Jehovah's saving grace,
Appears in sight;
God's covenant with man,
Adorns thy graceful span,
Ajid loves redeeming plan,
Dawns in thy light.

One I've wa'ited long to see;
Soft, as night-dew falls on meadows,
His kind bidding, "Come to mo."
Lo! the purple light of evening,
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.

Where the glory is unfading,

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 go with careful tread,
You. can bear away the wounded,
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..

Look on thy hands and read it there;
But who, I ask thee, who art thou?
Tell me thy name, and tell me now.

One Spirit's faith and prayer,
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,
Or storms that beat along the shore ;

And long with us their* jays to share ;
When we iu turn the Hood have pass'd,
Shall we all meet our loved ones there?

And thy grace and glo - ry show. Sweet the buds a-round us ris - ing — Bright our hopes of future bloom ;

For the lambs within our fold, —

From thy gracious arms of love —

A wanderer from my Father's house, He took me by the hand ;
A mariner on raging seas, He guided me to land ;
A weary, storm-toss'd man, He came, and made me like a child,
As hungry to receive the truth, as gentle and as mild. —
Chorus.
He saved me ! Saved me from myself, and saved me from my sins,
And here, just in that precious truthj my paradise begins;

2. In the hour of sad bereavement,
And of desolating strife,
Thou dost crown each heart-achievement
On the battle-field of life;
Giving sweetest consolation
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.

Are there no foes for me to face ?
Must I not stem the flood ?
Is this vile world a friend of grace
To help me on to God ?
Since I must fight if I would reign,
Increase my courage, Lord ;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by thy word. — Chorus.
Thy saints in all this glorious war,
Shall conquer, though they die ;
They see the triumph from afar,
By faith they bring it nigh.
When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thy armies shine
In robes of vict'ry through the skies,
The glory shall be thine.— Charu».

Of the heart he solaced here;

Let me think of Bethany.

2. When the pangs of trial seize us,
When the waves of sorrow roll,
I will lay my head on Jesus,

Surely none can feel like thee,

And our saddened hearts remind us
That we, too, must pass away.

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.

!. Onward we go, for still we hear them singing,
"Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you cornel"
And, through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing,
The music of the gospel leads us home. — Chorus.
i. Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing,
The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea;
And laden souls by thousands meekly stealing,
Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee.-
■dio.
4. Rest comes at length, though 1 ife be long and dreary,
The day must dawn, and darksome night be past ;
Faith's journey ends in welcome to the weary,
And heav'n. the heart's true home, will come at last. — Cho.
5. Angels, sing on ! your faithful watches keeping;
Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above;
'Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping,
And life's long shadows break in cloudless love.— Cho.

He delights in mercy still:
Bends his gracious ear, our requests to hear,
And our longing souls to fill.— Chorus.

But he loves the children best ;
To his arms we'll fly, on his grace rely,

He pasa - es the fount-ain, the blast - ed pine - tree — His foot-step is lag-gingand wea - ry ;
