PREFACE.
Employed by the Presbyterian Board of Publication to prepai-e the following
work for the press, the Editor has, in the selection of poetic pieces, confined him-
self chiefly, as was requested, to the " New Hymns fob Youth." In setting these
to music, he has endeavored to supply simple, striking melodies, adapted to the
tastes of the young, yet as free as possible from all profane and secular associa-
tions. His task has been a difficult, though a pleasant one, and one which, he
trusts, will be kindly appreciated by his youthful readers.
1^^ Most of the music in this volume is embraced in the copyiight.

EXERCISES IN MUSICAL NOTATION.
SECTION I.
THE OCTAVE, WITH FRAaMENTARY PORTIONS.
1. Let the pupils be taught to sing orally, with syllables, the ascending and de-
scending steps of the scal^ in some convenient pitch.*
ASCENDING." DESCENDING.
Do, re, mi, faw, sol, la, si, do. Do, si, la, sol, faw, mi. re, do.
2. Let fragments of the scale be practiced in a similar manner.
ASCENDING. DESCENDING.
Do, re. Re, do.
Do, re, mi. Mi, re, do.

Practice also with numbers — one, iwo, two, one, «fcc.
* In cases where ihe voice is not perfectly developed, it may be well to commence at once with the frag-
ments. All voices are tuneable, yet some will never be right without private instruction.

4. Thus far the steps of the scale have been gradual. Let us now deal with Skips.
This may be done, first, orally, by sounding intermediate syllables lightly, and after-
wards omitting them ; thus,
Do, re, mi — Do, mi.
Do, re, mi, faw — Do, faw.
when the following exercises will be easily understood. As the syllables, with
respect to the staff, are movable, we may as well commence upon spaces as lines.

3. A dot, at the right hand of a note, or rest, adds one half to its value ; thus,
A dotted '^ ' equals three PPF notes.
A dotted P * equals three f f f notes.
i SECTION III.
POSITIONS OF THE SCALE.
1. Five lines with their spaces form a Sta^, to which short lines are occasionally
added, called Leger lines. The lines are named by the first seven letters of tha
alphabet, according to the Treble Clef and Base Clef.
* The whole rest, however, is used simply as a measure rest. See Section IV.

Flats and sLarps thus used are called tlie Signature. TVlien more Kumerous,
they follow the same rule, i. e. the last flat governs faw, and the last sharp governs
si. [See examples in the body of this work.]
4. When flats and sharps occur in the midst of a movement, they are called Acci-
dentals. The fiat depresses the pitch of a note one semitone, and the sharp elevates
its pitch one semitone. When do, re,faiv, sol, la, are thus elevated, they are pro-
nounced di, ri, fi, si, U, in imitation of the sound mi. The flat causes the syllables
to terminate in ay ; thus si flat becomes say, &c.

5. A Natural (!^) is sometimes used to discontinue the effect of such alterations.

6. Pupils can now, so far as sounds and syllables are concerned, be exercised on
some of the simplest tunes of this collection.
SECTION IV.
TIME, IN REFERENCE TO MEASURES.
1. Tunes are variously divided, by the Single Bar, into small, equal portions,
called Measures.
BAR. MEASURE. BAR. MEASURE. BAR. MEASURE. BAR.
2. The Time of measures is indicated by two large figures, placed one over the
MUSICAL NOTATION.
13
other, at the clef. The upper figure shows the number of beats in a measure ; the
under figure shows what kind of note has the value of a beat.
EXAMPLES.
•4- Four beats.
-^ One quarter note to each beat.
-^ Three beats.
■4- One quarter note to each beat.
-2- Two beats.
■jj- One half note to each beat.
t Three beats.
One half note to each beat.
Other combinations of figures follow the same rule but the -fi-s sometimes form
an exception. When the movement is quick, we here comprehend, as it were,
three beats in one motion of the hand. In this latter case we mark the -fi- with a
dot; thus, '-^'.

3. Beating is performed by equal motions of the hand, such as, doivn, vp ; down.,
left., up ; dotvn, left, right, up. Every full measure commences with a down beat,
and there occurs, also, the chief musical accent. When two or more notes are taken
to a beat, the first of each group is usually accented, though partially.

The Double Bar marks the end of a strain.
The Repeat requires a certain part of the tune to be sung twice.
The Close shows the end of a tune.
The Paiise marks a suspension of time.
The Figure Three shortens the time of three notes to that of two.
The Brace includes such parts of a tune as are sung together.
The Sivell marks an increase and diminution of voice.
Choosing Notes are left to the choice of the singer.
16
BRIEF EXERCISES IN
Staccato Marks shorten the sounds of notes, much as in speaking.
The Slur connects such notes as are joined to one syllable.
SECTION VI.
MAJOR AND MINOR SCALES.
Scales are formed by steps and half -steps, called tones and semi-tones. The
half-steps occur between mi and faw, and si and do. The octave, hitherto com-
mencing on do, has been exclusively in the scale which is called Major. When the
octave commences with la, as in the following example, the scale is said to be Minor.
The commencing note of a scale is called the Key-note.
MINOR SCALE.

La, si, do, re.
La, sol, fa-w,

This scale is too much neglected by teachers. Owing to this circumstance
chiefly, it is often sung out of tune. Some forty years ago, it was more successfully
practiced than the major scale. The great masters make much use of it in their
compositions.
Our present limits will not allow us to enlarge under the head of Rudiments.
The preceding practical hints may be useful to those who give instruction on week-
days. Exercises, of course, will be enlarged upon the black-board. We have room
only for the following :

When daily I kneel down to pray,

And when I pray or sing,

About some other thing.

In joyful songs of praise ;
To God, the God of love,
Our thankful hearts we'll raise;
To God alone all praise belongs,
Our earliest and our latest songs.

The book of Ufe divine,
Where our Redeemer's love
And brightest glories shine ;
To God alone all praise is due,
"Who sends his word to us and you.

Our wandering feet are brought.
Where prayer and praise ascend,
And heavenly truths are taught:
To God alone your offerings bring ;
Let young and old his praises sing.

Which we have disobeyed ;
He bore our sins upon the cross,
And our full ransom paid.
Behold him rising from the grave.
Behold him raised on high;
He pleads his merits there to save
Transgressors doomed to die.
There on a gloi-ious throne he reigns,
And by his power divine,
Redeems us from the slavish chains
Of Satan and of sin.

3. In the midst of affliction my table is spread ;
With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o'er ;
With perfume and oil thou anointest my head ;
O, what shall I ask of thy providence more ?
4. Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God,
Still follow my steps, till I meet thee above ;
I seek, by the path which my forefathers trod,
Thi'ough the land of their sojourn, thy kingdom of love.

Urged thee to leave the ways of sin, And yield thy heart to God's con - trol ?
And point-ed to the com - ing wrath, And warned thee from that wrath to flee ?

3. Sinner, it was a heavenly voice,
It was the Spirit's gracious call ;
It bade thee make the better choice,
And haste to seek in Christ thine all.
4. Spurn not the call to life and light,
Regai'd in time the warning kind ;
That call thou mayst not always slight,
And yet the gate of mercy find.
5. God's Spirit will not always strive
With hardened, self-destroying man ;
Ye who persist his love to grieve,
May never hear his voice again.
6. Sinner, perhaps this very day
Thy last accepted time may be ;
0 ! shouldst thou grieve him now away,
Then hope may never beam on thee.

Haste along, and nothing fear,
Every pleasant thing is here 1"
2. Yes — but whither would ye lead ?
Is it happiness indeed ?
Or a little shining show,
Leading down to death and woe ?
3. We were made for better things ;
High as heaven our nature springs ;
Like the lark that upward flies,
We were made to seek the skies.
We were made to love and fear
That great God who placed us here;
Made to study and fulfill
All his good and holy will.
We were made to work awhile,
Cheerful at our work to smile ;
Thmking, as we labor thus,
Of the heaven prepared for us.
So, a pleasant path we '11 tread.
By the hand of Jesus led ;
Till, from sin and sorrow freed,
Ours is happiness indeed 1

8. 'T is not enough to say
We 're sorry and repent,
Yet still go on from day to day
Just as we always went,
4. Repentance is, to leave
The sins we loved before.
And show that we in earnest grieve,
By doing so no more.
5. Lord, make us thus sincere,
To watch as well as pray :
However small, however dear,
Take all our sins away.

To make us turn from sin.
With holy grief, and humble shame,
May we at once begin.

1. Blest are the souls who hear and know
The gospel's joyful sound ;
Peace shall attend the path they go,
And light their steps surround.
2. Their joy shall bear their spirits up.
Through their Redeemer's name ;
His righteousness exalts their hope,
And fills their foes with shame.
3. The Lord, our glory and defence,
Strength and salvation gives ;
Israel, thy King for ever reigns,
Thy God for ever lives.
Reflection on leaving School.
1. And now another hour is past,
Of kind instruction given :
And this, perhaps, may be the last
On this side hell or heaven.
2. And is it so ? How dread tlie thought.
And yet indeed how true !
If I could feel it as I ought.
This day, what should I do ?
3. 0 surely prize it more and more,
And pray that God would give
A death of gain, if life be o'er,
And blessing, if I live.

3. There no autumn-tempests gather ;
There no friends lament the dead ;
And on fields that nc'^^er wither.
Fadeless rays of light are shed :
There, with bright immortal roses.
Angels wreathe their harps of gold.
And each ransomed soul reposes
'Midst a scene of bliss untold.
We have met, and time is flying,
We shall part — and still his wing,
Sweeping o'er the dead and dying,

Let us, while our hearts are lightest,
In our fresh and early years,
Turn to Him, whose smile is brightest,
And whose grace will calm our fears.

Why are they so earnest in prayer.

And urge us, again and again,
To hearken to all its demands ?

To all their entreaties and prayers,
For quickly these seasons will end,
And we be surrounded with snares.
