thsologigal/
It is believed that this book will meet a w^it^tflilSn has long been felt by Superintendents
of Sabbath Schools, and others who select hymns and music for children to sing. There have
been two difficulties with most of the Sabbath School hymn books that have been published :
First, the hymns have been " too old " — above the comprehension of young minds : second,
the music has been either too difficult, too tame, or has been arranged so high as to be entirely
beyond the reach of children's voices. It will be found, upon examination, that these difficul-
ties have been avoided in this book. A large proportion of the tunes have been composed and
compiled expressly for the words ; and the publisher and editor are both greatly indebted to
S. B. Ball, Esq., one of the most popular and successful teachers of vocal music in Boston,
for very valuable aid in this department.

Sing to the glory of sovereign compassion,
For no arm can ?ave but the arm of the Lord,
Our fears are ail hu.-hed when the song of salvation
Is heard from the lips of our brothers restored.
Sing to the glory, &.c.
Blessed Redeemer, we pledge thee forever.
Our time and our talents, the dew of our youth.
Let thy spirit attend every earnest endeavor,
To live in thy love and rejoice in thy tnidl.

Amnnw the first was found :
He sung with most enchanting voicfr—
A voice, without a sound.
Sweet was the choral symphony ;
But yet there wanted one
To strike the chord of God's free grace,
To errinur mortals shown.
Next, Sea from his uplifted waves,
Sent forth, in mighty roar,
His wilUn* trihute to God's praise.
Which died along the shore.

But, ere long, thou shalt see
An offering more costly, Mary,
Poured out on Calvary.
This kindness thou hast done me, Mary,
My servants shall mal?e known,
Throughout the world, wherever, Mary,
The gospel trump is blown.
Though mammon thee would hinder, Maiy^
He loves the poor so well !
Yet cease not thine anointing, Maiy,
'Tis for my burial.

When earthly ties are riven ;

To those who believe it no crime,
To whisper and play in the school —
But they must do better nest time.

^Vho speak truthful, kind, loving words,
And never will speak any other —

But they must remember, meanwhile.
That "the way of transgressors is hard.

Who love the Dear Saviour, indeed;
For he has recorded his pledjre.

And when they from earth pass awajr.
They -hill! P'l'or Irs i-psf. ntid enjoy
A Happy New Year, for aye.

Which in the field, I found.
And. would .you think it .' there it lay,
All withered, on the ground.
I kneeled. »nd put my ear close down

And asked what ailed my drooping flower,
And sonietliiiii< whi<)iered — '• dead '"

■When, o'er my poor dead violet,
My tears fell like the rain ;
It whispered to me, " Child, weep not.
For 1 .shall live again."
8 Say, talked the Hower. or did the wlada
Utter.their passing knell ?
Or, was it my own soul that spok*?
I'm sure f cannot tell
It was the spirit's voice — and if

THE LONE ROSE.
TO THB TUME OF CHILD'S PRATER. Page 26.
1 Deep in the wood, where none
But cruel huntsmen roam,
A rose most beautiful
Kloomed in its humble home.
I pitied the lone flower,
With none its sweets to share,
And ne'er a passer by
To say " thou'rt wondrous fair !**
And then I said : tell me, oh flowery queen,
Why Grod has set thee here, to bloom unseen ?
2 Here, as I silent sat.
The forest birds drew nijih,
The squirrel ventured forth,
Ami frisking, passed me by ;
And e'eu the rabbit leaped
Forth from his hidden bower ;
Yet none of them would stay
To gaze on that sweet flower.
Again I asked her if she'd tell me why
God placed her there, unseen to bud and die ?
8 At length, she turned to me
With such a Heavenly look,
And from her honied cells
A thousand odors shook —
" I will" — and then in tones
As sweet as childhood's said,
" I bloom alone, because
Me for himself God made ;
And 'tis enough (say, is it so with thee ?)
To know that God is pleased to look on me."
# A LITTLE WHILE, to the tune,
1 A little while, saith yonder sun.
And my care«»r of light is run ;
The moon sends back the sad reply.
And all the stars that deck the sky —
*' A little while."
2 The cedars of Mount Lebanon,
The miiihfy rivers flowins on,
The teeinins earth, the circling years,
Upf^n them all this word appear
••Aliitle while."
" HE KEEPETn ME." Page 69.
3 Oh thou, vain man ! who look'st abroad
Upon these mighty works of God,
Canst thou from death exemption claim?
Ah, no ! the word is still the same —
"A little while."
4 Child, in the Sabbath School, though now
The flush of life is on thy brow,
Yet, gaily, as thou passest by,
Plainly the warning I descry—
'• A litt*e while.."

Like the sound of the sea swells their Chorus of praise.
Round the star circled crown of the ancient of days,
And thrones and dominions re-echo the strain
Of glory, Eternal, To Him that was slain.
Dear Saviour may we wi?b our voices faint
Sing the Chorus celestial with angel and saint ?
Yes ! Yes ! we will sing; and thine ear we. will gain.
With the song of Redemption — the Lamb that was slain.
Now children and teachers and friend>< all unite
In a loud Hallelujah with the ransom 'd in light;
To Jesus, we'll sinir that melodious stiain.
The song of Redemption — the Lamb that was slain.
• This mav be snntc by solo voices. If it is suns in Chorus it should be very soft, as an echo of the preceding strain.

HINDER ME NOT.

1. When I would be a Christian, There was something in the way, Which said," You'd better put it off Until some other day;"
2. First, Passion came, with cheek so red, And told me to get mad; For such an one said so and so, And was'nt it too bad?

And that the daughters of the rich

And then, I said I would not care

Next, came one with a lofty look,
I knew his name was Pride;
I will not tell you what he said.
But I am sure he lied.

Until aloud I cried :
Hinder me not, hinder me not !

And next, there danced before my eye
Pleasure, with all her train ;
She said, if I would jro with her.
She'd ease me of my pain.
There's something better. I replied,

But her sorrows quickly fled
When she heard his welcome voice :
Christ had risen from the dead ;
Now he bids her heart rejoice :
"What a change his word can make,
Turning darkness into day !
Ye who weep for Je>us' sake,
He will wipe your tears away.
He who came to comfort her,
When she thought her all was lost,
Will for your relief appear.
Though you now are tempest-tossed,
On his word your burden cast,
On his love your thoughts employ j
Weeping for awhile may last.
But the morning brings the joy.

\. The winter winds may meet an<i moan. At mi(lni5;ht's fearful hour, Or roar around my lowly cot, Impatient to devour.
2. Far in the west,the summer cloud Spreads out its awful folds; And onward 'gainst opposing winds, And upward still, it rollst
On,on,it comesi across the heavens, The lightnings cats their way ! The rocks are rent.the trees are riven. Is it the final day?

For, ere they can lisp his praises,

Ami wijie my weeping eyes.
ShiiiiM earth against my soul engage, -
Ami Satan's darts be hurleil,
Then I can smile at Satan's rage,
And fate a tVowning world.
Lei cares like a wild deluge come,
.And storms of sorrow tall;
May I liut safely reach my home,

And not a wave of trout)le roll
Across my {>euceful breast.

1 I T.ovE to join the joyful play,
To sjiort beside the shady |n>oI,
To watch my kite soar tar away,
IJut more I love the Sunday-school.
2 For there I meet my teacher's smile,
And ri-ail and learn the holy book;
And oil! my heart doth feel the while
That (iod is pleased on us to look.
3 And when we bend the knee in prayer.
And hymns to our Redeemer rai^e.
It seeuis to nie that (Jod is there.
To hear us pray anil sing his praise.
4 While others slight this htdy day,

And end in death at last.

Iw my closet of prayer, at the close of the day,
I thought of the little ones, far, far away;
And I asked my i!ear Savior, who lingered close by,
If he'd show me the Lambs of his fold in tlie sky.
The Lambs, the Lambs' ecU
"Oh, yes! " he replied, " come up hither with me;"
And I thought I went up, o'er the land and the sea,
Till he said, as a palace of light we drew nigh,
" Come look at the Lambs of my fold in the sky."
The Lambs, the Lambs, ect.
There, thousand times thousands, released from
earth's pain,
All washed in the blood of the Lamb that was slain.
Their tiny hands clapped, with a rapturous cry,
Saying, We are the Lambs of his fold in the sky.
The Lambs, the Lambs, ect.
So happy they seemed, in their song and their play,
That I asked my dear Lord, to permit me to stay;
" Oh, no! " he replied, " you must go back and try
To gather more Lambs, to mv told in the sky."
More Lambs, more Lambs, ect.

To keep me safe from harm;
To guard my head from danger nigh,
My bosom from alarm.
2 They keep a careful watch all night,
Around nw peaceful bed;
They will not let an evil light
Upon my slumbering head.
3 They love to hear an infant pray
And praise the name divine;
I cannot hear their songs, but they
Can hear and join in mine.

1 Thk Spirit, In our hearts,
Is whispering, **Sii\ner, come;"
The bride, tlie church of Christ, proclaims
To all His children, Come.

To all abfiut him. Come !
Let him that thirsts for righteousness
To Cbruit the Fountain, come.
TS Yes, wTiosocTcr inn,
O, let him freely cotne,
And freely drink the stream of life;
'Tis Jesus bids him come.

Declares, " I quickly come ; "

1 There is a Fountain filled with blood.
Drawn from Immanuel's reins ;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood.
Lose all their guilty stains.
2 The dying thief rejoiced to see
That Fountain in his day;
And there have I, as vile as he.
Washed all my sins away.
3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious bloo^
Shall never lose its power.
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved, to sin no more.
4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply.
Redeeming love has been my theme.
And shall be, till I die.
6 Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing Thy power to save,
• "When this poor lisping, stamm'fering tongue
Lies silent in the grave.
