FROM THE LIBRARY OF

REV. LOUIS FITZGERALD BENSON. D. D.

BEQUEATHED BY HIM TO

THE LIBRARY OF

PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

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 !

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.

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

His red cheek is leaving.

Let us cheerful follow,

Where there's no more sorrow.
Hasting onward to the grave,

On mountain top On mountain top

The sun with golden beam The shepherd loves to prey
Shines on the glitt'ring stream, At early dawn of day;
And on its grassy brink [drink. And as he lower benda,
The beauteous white flocks His soul to God ascends.
On mountain top, &c On mountain top, &c.

Mild from the moss it peep'd, Amid the zephyr's play,

In its gold bosom slept It breathed its scent away

The spring-dew's gentle gleams, Upon a pure sun-ray,

As pure, as pure, as liquid And died, and died, in beauteous

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.

Of each rising day,
Loveliest the morn
Of the Sabbath-day;
Then our infant thoughts are fall
Of the precious Sabbath School.

To our happy ears
Blessed news is brought,
Tidings of the work
Love divine has wrought.
Gracious news and merciful,
How we love the Sabbath School

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.

Of each passing day;

Fairest is the night

Of the Sabbath day.

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.

Peace and quiet love thee,

Tranquil little dell ;
In thy fragrant bowers
Twining wreaths of flowers,

Love and friendship dwell.

May our spirits daily

Be like thee, sweet valley,

Tranquil and serene;
Emblem to us given
Of the vales of heaven,

Ever bright and green.

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.

Of the mighty oaks we'll sing,

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 Spring U come! and vales and mountains Are cloth'd a - new in

Oft thy pleasant evening shadows

Make our troubled passions cease;
Oft thy melody of rivers

Fills onr souls with joy and peace;
Village, tender thought promoting —
Like the clouds in azure floating;
Village in the silent vale,
Lov«ly village! thee we hail !

In thy green and sunny pastures,

Near thy bright and glassy streams,
Free from care, we love to wander,

Cheered by summer's radiant beams.
Scenes of sweetest recollection
Sacred to the soul's reflection,
Village in the silent vale,
Lovely village! thee we hail !

And the lovely recollection
Soothe, like" visits from the bleat.

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.

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.

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.

While pearls of dew adorn the grass,

And fragrance fills the flowers —

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

And raise our songs to God.

Waked from rest,
Neatly drest,
Humbly now be kneeling.

Seek from thee ;
Make our minds discerning.

From «ur sins to sare us.

Pleasure echoes— echoes — far and near ;
From lite green bank deck'd with flowers,
Sunny hills and pleasant bowers; —

Pleasure echoes—echoes — far and near.

Up — and weave us now a flowery crown ;
See the blossoms all unfolding,
Each its beauteous station holding; —

Up— and weave us now a flowery crown.

Go ye forth and join the May-day throngf
Sings the Cuckoo by the river,
In the breeze die young leaves quiver ;—

Go ye forth and join the May-day throng.

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.

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.
