Court of the Northern District of New- York,
PREFACE.
The chief design of this publication, is to present to the lovers of devo
tional song, a convenient manual for the use of families and social religious
meetings. In the larger and more dignified assemblies, psalmody will
continue to hold its appropriate place; but for social and private uses,
something is needed which is more familiar, more melodious, and more
easy of execution. The importance of such music has become too evident
to escape the notice of intelligent Christians; and the demand for it, espe-
cially in seasons of revival, has of late been increasing.
It is to be lamented, however, that in meeting this demand, compilers
have not more frequently had recourse to good music. Hitherto, the best
compilers have done little more for this department, than to furnish occa-
sional specimens among psalms and hymns of the ordinary character.
These, though the number has been gradually increasing, have not been
sufficiently numerous to satisfy the public. The consequence is, that a
multitude of insipid, frivolous, vulgar, and profane melodies, have been
forced into general circulation, to the great disparagement of the art, as
well as to the detriment of musical reform.
Such a result as this, might indeed, have been naturally anticipated, in
times like the present. Impenitent men, for example, who might be igno-
rant of the true principles of devotional music, would, immediately on their
conversion, be found to exercise their religious feelings in such melodies as
might then be at hand, whatever might be the character of those melodies,
or however they might have been previously connected in the mind of
others, with profane or impure associations. Almost any music which
should be applied to solemn words, under such aifecting circumstances,
would, for a little time, be sung with delight by the young convert, and
heard with interest by such Christians as had previously neglected the
subject of devotional singing ; and such, there is some reason to apprehend,
are the majority of professors at the present day.
There is also, one fact in the history of psalmody, which has lent its
influence to the result here mentioned. A number of devotional tunes now
contained in the best collections in Europe and America, are known to have
had a secular origin. The precedent thus furnished has been greatly
abused. Music which is purely the language of emotion, it must be admit*
PREFACE.
ted, has sometimes been found susceptible of such changes. The same
strains, for instance, that in one age of the world could express the joys or
sorrows of earthly iove, could in another age, when the circumstances of
their origin had been forgotten, be made instrumental of kindling affec-
tions more pure and holy. But examples of this nature have been com-
paratively few among the successful cultivators of the art ; and they have
by no means been sufficiently numerous to constitute any thing like a gene-
ral rule of adaptation. Such experiments have usually been unfortunate ;
and in later times they have been liable to the most serious and weighty
objections. Yet, if the lapse of three centuries has furnished among the
innumerable abuses of this sort, some twenty or thirty specimens of a more
favored character, it by no means follows, that in the present state of the
churches, the same experiment may be safely repeated by every publisher
who is unacquainted with music, directly in defiance of the fundamental
principles of the art. But this very thing has been done, and the public
have been extensively called upon, in these enlightened days of reform, to
recognize in the current love songs, the vulgar melodies of the street, of
the midnight reveller, of the circus, and the bar room, the very strains
which of all others, we are told, are the best adapted to call forth pure and
holy emotions, in special seasons of revival ! In some instances too, tunes
have come to us, not as old acquaintances partially recognized, but in all
the freshness of their corruption, still reeking, as it were, with the impure
associations which prevail in the haunts of moral pollution!
What was to be done in such circumstances as these ? The established
rules of musical adaptation furnish the only sure remedy. These are found
to correspond at once with the dictates of sound sense, and the history of
past experience,
1. The first legitimate question on the choice of tunes for devotional
purposes, is, whether at the time of selection, they possess intrinsically an
appropriate character ; and are thence adapted to call forth the right emo-
tions,
Mu«ic, it should be remembered, is very variable in its character. What
has been known to edify the people of one age or nation, has often proved
iusipid to another.
Extraneous circumstances also, will occasionally be found, to give tern
porary interest to a tune, which is insipid in itself; and where they do m\
the tune will to some extent be used ; but this is no reason why it should bs

held up to the public in general as a fair specimen of intrinsic excellence —
the use of which would thus be sanctioned and perpetuated. Such a course
would have a tendency to bring the whole subject of music into disrepute*
To borrow an illustration from a sister art. Some very good men, for
example, will in their own devotions, prefer serious doggerels to the most
simple, chaste, and impassioned specimens of lyric verse. Let them do so
This does not alter the nature of the doggerels, nor render it necessary to
force them into more general circulation. The man that does this, ulti-
mately inflicts an injury upon the best interests of literature and religion;
and the same may be said of the publisher of music who pursues a corres-
ponding course in his selection of tunes. The two cases we consider as
parallel.
2. The second question on the selection of devotional tunes, is, whether
the specimens before us, though intrinsically chaste and effective,
may not, in the minds of a considerable portion of the community, be con-
nected with profane associations. Where this is ascertained to be the fact,
the tune should, for the present, at least, be cast aside as worse than use-
less. Give it a place among the mare favored doggerels, where it may
continue to be used in private, and eventually be sunk in oblivion, or if wor-
thy of it, restored to public favor.
We are aware that the full importance of these fundamental principles of
adaptation, will not be readily appreciated by those who habitually neglect
the cultivation of the art; yet they wear the impress, as we have said, of
Bound sense and universal experience ; and they are principles that have a
vital bearing upon the permanent interests of devotional song.
Let the young convert, coming suddenly into a new world of light and
love, express his burning emotions in airs that are familiar to him, and let
none rudely intermeddle with his joys. Let the simple-hearted Christian,
who suddenly awakes, as by a second conversion, to the glorious themes of
the gospel, sing forth in private, in his family, and in the smaller pray-
ing circles, the fulness of his glad emotions in the rudest of strains, if
nothing more appropriate is at hand. There is no time as yet, for special
cultivation, and where only the lame, the blind, the halt, and the torn,
can be obtained for the sacrifice, the offering will perhaps be accepted,
and the exercise for a while, tend to edification. But to seize upon this
circumstance for the purpose of forcing such unseemly melodies into general
circulation, is just as preposterous as it would be to publish all the broken
PREFACE.
petitions of prayer, or the imperfect expressions of Christian experience
that fall from the lips of the new-born soul. Such things are interesting in
their place, because they show the undisguised sincerity of the person who
utters them; but certainly they are not on this account to be collected and
published as suitable materials for a manual of devotion !
Such are the views entertained by the compilers of this work. On the
materials here presented, they have bestowed abundant labor. Their object
has been, uniformly to connect chaste simplicity with the fervor of devotion.
Most of the tunes are simple and familiar. Many of them have been com-
posed expressly for this work. Not one of them, it is believed, has been
injured by unhallowed associations. The words have been selected and
arranged with care, through the kind assistance of several of the clergy;
and not a few of the poetic specimens which are here presented, have been
furnished by different hands, as original compositions. These and other
favors will be more fully acknowledged in the sequel. That the work may
prove extensively useful in elevating the standard of sacred music, and in
enlivening the devotions of the pious, is the sincere and earnest prayer of
the
Compilers.

2* Contrition*
1 O Thou, whose tender mercy hears
.Contrition's humble cry ; [tears
Whose hand, indulgent, wipes the
From Sorrow's weeping eye;
2 See, low before thy throne of grace,
A wretched wand'rer mourn ;
Hast thou not bid me seek thy face ?
Hast thou not said— >" Return V
3 And shall my guilty fears prevail
To drive me from thy feet J
£>h, let not this dear refuge fail,
This only safe retreat '
4 Absent from thee, my guide, my
Without one cheering ray; [light,
Thro' dangers, fears, and gloomy
How desolate my way- {night,
5 Oh, shine on this benighted heart,
With beams of mercy shine !
And let thy healing voice impart
A taste of joys divine.
3* Penitence*
Prostrate, dear Jesus, at thy feet
A guilty rebel lies ;
And upward to the mercy-seat
Presumes to lift his eyes.
2 Oh, let not justice frown me hence ;
Stay, stay the vengeful storm ;
Forbid it, that Omnipotence
Should crush a feeble worm.
3 If tears of sorrow would suffice
To pay the debt I owe, [ing eyes,
Tears should from both my weep-
In ceaseless currents flow.
4 But no such sacrifice I plead,
To expiate my guilt; [shed,
No tears, but those which thou hast
No bloodj but thou hast spilt.
4* Seeking after God.
Job xxiii. 9.
1 Oh, that I knew the secret place,
Where I might find my God ;
I'd spread my wants before his face,
And pour my woes abroad.
2 I'd tell him how my sins arise,
What sorrows I sustain ;
How grace decays,how comfort dies,
And leaves my heart in pain.
3 He knows what arguments I'd take
To wrestle with my God :
I'd plead for his own mercy's sake,
And for my Saviour's blood.
4 My God will pity my complaints,
And heal my broken bones ;
He takes the meaning of his saints,
The language of their groans.
5 Arise, my soul, from deep distress,
And banish every fear ;
He calls thee to his throne of grace,
To spread thy sorrows there.
5* A Refuge from the Storm.
Deut. xxxiii. 27.
1 Dear refuge of my weary soul,
On thee, when sorrows rise,
On thee, when waves of trouble roll,
My fainting hope relies.
2 To thee I tell each rising grief,
For thou alone canst heal ;
Thy word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel.
3 But O ! when gloomy doubts prevail,
I fear to call thee mine ;
The springs of comfort seem to fail.
And all my hopes decline.
4 Yet gracious God, where shall I
Thou art my only trust ; [flee?
And still my soul would cleave to
Tho' prostrate in the dust, [thee,

1 Jecus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the billows near me roll,
While the tempest still is high,
Hide me, O, my Saviour, hide
'Till the storm of life be past;
Safe into the haven guide,
0 receive my soul at last.
2 Other refuge have I none ;
Helpless hangs my soul on thee ;
Leave, ah ! leave me not alone ;
Still support and comfort me.
All ray trust on thee is stay'd ;
All my help from thee I bring :
Cover my defenceless head,
i With the shadow of thy wing.
3 Jesus, thou art all I want ; ^
Boundless love in thee I find !
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name :
1 am all unrighteousness ;
Vile, and full of sin I am ;
\ Thou art full of truth and grace.
A Plenteous grace with thee is found,
Grace to pardon all my sin ;
Let the healing streams abound ;
Make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art;
Freely let me take of thee;
Spring thou up within my heart;
Rise to all eternity.
7* Seeking for a Blessing*
I Son of God, thy blessing grant,
Still supply my ev'ry want;
Tree of life, thine influence give,
Nourish me, and bid me live.
Tend'rest branch, alas ! am 1 ;
Without thee I droop and die,
Weak as helpless infancy ;
O confirm my soul in thee !
! Unsustain'd by thee, I fall;
Send the strength for which I call :
Weaker than a bruised reed,
Help I ev'ry moment need.
All my hopes on thee depend;
Love me, save me to the end !
Give me thy sustaining grace,
Take the everlasting praise.
8* Seeking for a Blessing*
Lord, we come before thee now
At thy feet we humbly bow:
O, do not our suit disdain !
Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain t
Lord, on thee our souls depend ;
In compassion now descend ;
Fill our hearts with thy rich grace*
Tune our lips to sing thy praise.
In thine own appointed way
Now we seek thee, here we stay ;
Lord, we know not how to go,
'Till a blessing thou bestow.
Send some message from thy word,
That may joy and peace afford;
Let thy spirit now impart
Full salvation to each heart.

1 Once I tho't my mountain strong,
Firmly fixed, no more to move;
Then my Saviour was my song,
Then my soul was fill'd with love ;
Those were happy, golden days,
Sweetly spent in prayer and praise.
2 Little then myself I knew,
Little thought of Satan's pow'r ;
Now I feel my sins renew ;
Now I feel the stormy hour !
Sin ha3 put my joys to flight;
Sin has turned my day to night.
3 Saviour, shine and cheer my soul,
Bid my dying hopes revive ;
Make my wounded spirit whole ;
Far away the tempter drive ;
Speak the word and set me free,
Let me live alone to thee.
10. Psalm xliii.
1 Save me, Lord, in this distress ;
Clothe me in thy righteousness ;
Good and merciful thou art ;
Bind this Weeding, broken heart:
Cast me not despairing hence ;
Be my hope, my confidence.
2 Send thy light and truth to guide ;
Leave me not to turn aside ;
On thy holy hill I'll rest,
In thy courts for ever blest :
There to God, my love, my joy,
^ Praise shall all my powers employ.

1 Blessed are the sons of God ;
They are bought with Jesus' blood :
They are ransomed from the grave ;
Life eternal they shall have.
With them number d may we be,
Here, and in eternity.
2 They are jnstifi'd by grace;
They enjoy the Saviour's peace ;
All their sins are wash'd away :
They shall stand in God's great day.
With them number'd may we be,
Here, and in eternity.
3 They produce the fruits of grace;
In the works of righteousness;
They are harmless, meek, and mild,
Holy, humble, undefil'd.
With them number'd may we be,
Here, and in eternity.
4 They are lights upon the earth,
Children of a heav'nly birth ;
One with God, with Jesus one;
Glory in them is begun.
With them number'd may we be,

14. Submission*
« Alas ! and did my Saviour bleed,
And did my Sovereign die?
Did he devote that sacred head,
For such a worm as I ?
Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut his glories in, [died
When Christ the Lord,the Saviour,
For man, the rebel's sin.
S Thus might I hide my blushing face,
While his dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears.
But tears, alas, can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
'Tis all that I can do.
15. Going to Jesus*
[breast
1 Come, trembling sinner, in whose
A thousand thoughts revolve :
Come, with your guilt and fear op-

And make this last resolve :
44 I'll goto Jesus, though my sin
Shouldboundless depths disclose;
I see his courts, I'll enter in,
Whatever may oppose.
2 " Prostrate I'll lie before his throne,
And there my guilt confess ;
111 tell him I'm a wreteh undone —
Without his sovereign grace.
Perhaps he will admit my plea,
Perhaps he'll hear my prayer;
But if I perish, I will pray,
And perish only there."

Behold a royal feast ! [store
Where mercy spreads her bounteous
For every humble guest.
See, Jesus stands with open arms;
He calls, he bids you come;
Guilt holds you back, and fear.ia-
Butsee,thereyetisroom. [larms;
2 Room in the Saviour's bleeding
There love and pity meet; [heart;
Nor will be bid the soul depart,
That trembles at his feet.
In him the Father, reconcil'd,
Invites your souls to come ;
The rebel shall be call'd a child,
And kindly welcom'd home.

1 Behold the Saviour of mankind,
Nail'd to the shameful tree !
How vast the love that him inclin'd,

Hark ! how he groans, while nature
And earth's strong pillars bend ;
The temple's veil in sunder breaks,
The solid marbles rend.

See where he bows his sacred head,
He bows his head and dies.
But soon o'er hell he reigns again
In majesty divine ;
O Lamb of God, was ever pain,
Was ever love like thine!

1 Now we hail the happy dawning
Of the Gospel's glorious light,
May it take the wings of morning,
And dispel the shades of night;
Blessed Saviour,
Let our eyes behold the sight.
2 Where, amid the desert dreary,
Plant, nor shrub, nor flowret
grows,
There refresh the wand'rer weary,
With the sight of Sharon's Rose;
And its beauties
To the longing eye disclose.
O, let all the world adore thee —
Universal be thy fame ;
Kings and subjects fall before thee,
And extol thy matchless name;
All ascribing
Endless praises to the Lamb.

20, The Name of Jesus.
1 How sweet the name of Jesus
In a believer's ear ; {sounds
It soothes his sorrows, heals his
wounds,
And drives away his fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary — rest.
3 Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thought
But when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.
4 Till then, I would thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath :
And may the music of thy name
Refresh my soul in death.

SI* The Saviour's Invitation*
1 The Saviour calls — let every ear
Attend the heav'nly sound ; [fear,
Ye doubting souls, dismiss your
Hope smiles reviving round.
For every thirsty, longing heart,
Here streams of bounty flow,
And life, and health, and bliss im-
To banish mortal wo. Lpart,
2 Ye sinners, come, 'tis mercy's voice,
The gracious call obey;
Mercy invites to heav'nly joys —
And can you yet delay ?
Pear Saviour, draw reluctant
To thee let sinners fly, [hearts ;
And take the bliss thy love imparts,
And drink, and never die.
22. Isaiah lv. 1, 2.
J Let every mortal ear attend,
And every heart rejoice !
The trumpet of the Gospel sounds
With an inviting voice.
Ho! all ye hungry, starving souls
Who feed upon the wind,
And vainly strive,with earthly toys
To fill an empty mind :
.2 Eternal Wisdom has prepar'd
A soul-reviving feast ;
And bids your longing appetites
The rich provision taste.
Ho ! ye who pant for living streams,
• And pine away and die ; [thirst
Here ye may quench your raging
With springs that never dry.
23. Praise*
1 The God of mercy be ador'd,
Who calls our souls from death ;
Who saves by his redeeming word,
And new creating breath.
To praise the Father, and the Son,
And Spirit all divine,
The One in Three and Three in One,
Let saints and angels join.
24* Goodness of God*
1 Ye humble souls, approach yourGod
With songs of sacred praise,
For he is good, immensely good,
And kind are all his ways.
All nature owns his guardian care,
In him we live and move ;
But nobler benefits declare
The wonders of his love.
2 He gave his Son, his only Son,
To ransom rebel worms ;
'Tis here he makes his goodness
In its diviner forms. [known,
To this dear refuge, Lord, we come,
'Tis here our hope relies ;
A safe defence, a peaceful home,
When storms of trouble rise.
[gard,
3 Thine eye beholds, with kind re-
The souls that trust in thee ;
Their humble hope thou wilt re-
With bliss divinely free, [ward
Great God, to thy Almighty love,
What honors shall we raise?
Not all the raptur'd songs above,
Can render equal praise.
25* Reconciliation.
1 Dearest of all the names above,
My Jesus and my God,
Who can resist thy heavenly love;
Or trifle with thy blood?
'Tis by the merits of thy death
The Father smiles again ;
'Tis by thine interceding breath
The Spirit dwells with men.
2 'Till God in human flesh I see,
My thoughts no comfort find;
The holy, just, and sacred Three
Are terrors to my mind.
But, if Immanuel's face appear,
My hope, my joy begins;
His name forbids my slavish fear ,
His grace removes my sins.

S Jesus, hail ! enthron'd in glory,
There for ever to abide ;
All the heav'nly hosts adore thee,
Seated at thy Father's side.
There for sinners thou art pleading ;
"Spare them yet another year;"
There for saints art interceding,
Till in glory they appear.
£7* Sitting at Jesus9 feet*
1 Sweet the moments, rich in bless-
ing,
Which before the cross I spend;
Life, and health, and peace possess-
ing,
From the sinner's dying Friend.
Love and grief my heart dividing}
With my tears his feet I'll bathe;
Still in faith and hope abiding,
Life deriving from his death.
9 O, how blessed is the station !
« Low before the cross I'll lie,
While I see divine compassion
Pleading in the Victim's eye ;
Here I'll sit, for ever viewing
Mercy streaming in his blood :
Precious drops, my soul bedewing ;
Plead and claim my peace with
God.
08* Aspiring to Immortality.
1 In this world of sin and sorrow,
Compass'd round with every care ■
From eternity we borrow
Hope that can exclude despair.
Thee, triumphant God and Saviour,
In the glass of faith we see !
O assist each faint endeavor,
Raise our earth-born souls to thee.
Place that awful scene before us,
Of the last tremendous day,
When to light thou wilt restore us:
Ling' ring ages, haste away!
Then this vile and sinful nature
Incorruption shall put on !
Life-renewing, glorious Saviour !
Let thy gracious will be done !
29. Pilgrimage*
Gently, Lord, O gently lead us,
Through this lonely vale of tears
Through the changes thou'st de
creed us, [pears.
Till our last great change ap-
When temptation's darts assail us,
When in devious paths we stray,
Let thy goodness never fail us;
Lead us in thy perfect way.
In the hour of pain & anguish, [near
In the hour when death draws
Suffer not our hearts to languish,
Suffer not our souls to fear.
And when mortal life is ended,
Bid us in thine arms to rest,
Till, by angel bands attended,
We awake among the blest

30. Looking to Jesns»
1 Omy soul, what means this sadness?
Wherefore art thou thus east
down?
Let thy grief be turn'd to gladness ?
Bid thy restless fear begone :
Look to Jesus, '■'■
Trust in him, and him alone.
2 Tho' ten thousand ills beset thee ;
Though thy heart is prone to sin ;
Jesus Hvesj he'll ne'er forget thee;
He will make thee pure within.
He is faithful })
None shall find his promise vain.
31* Redeeming Love.
1 Come,thou Fount of every blessing.
Tune my heart to grateful lays ;
Streams of mercy never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Streams of mercy, &c.
Call for songs of loudest praise.
3 Teach me some melodious measure,
Sung by raptur'd saints above;
Fill my soul with sacred pleasure,
While I sing redeeming love.
Fill my soul, &c.
While I sing redeeming love.
4 Jesus sought me, when a stranger,
Wand'ring from the fold of God;.
He, to save my soul from danger,
" OfferM hia most precious blood.
. He, to save, &C.
i r*d hia most precious blood.
32. Dismission*
. Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing;
Fill our hearts with joy and peace,
Let us each, thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace ;
O refresh us!
Trav'ling thro' this wilderness.
! Thanks we give, and adoration,
For thy Gospel's joyful sound:
May the fruits of thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound;
May thy presence
With us evermore be found
33. Redeeming Love.
Hail, Immanuel, ever gracious !
Thy redeeming love I sing;
To my soul thy name is precious;
Thou, my Prophet, Priest) and
King*
O, bow precious, [King.
Thou* my Prophet, Priest, and.
Once with Adam's race in ruin,
Unconcern'd in sin I lay ;
Swift destruction still pursuing,
Till my Saviour pass'd that way.
Still pursuing,
Till my Saviour pass'd that way.
Witness, all ye hosts of heav'n,
My Redeemer's tenderness !
Love I much 1 Ah ! much forgiv'n,
I'm a miracle of grace.
Much forgiv'n,
I'm a miracle of grace.

2 They have gone to the land where the GospePs glad sound,
Sweetly tun'd by the angels above,
Was re-echo'd on earth, through the regions around,
In the accents of heavenly love :
Where the Spirit descended, in tokens of flame,
The rich gifts of his grace to reveal:
Where apostles wrought signs in ImmanuePs name,
The truth of their mission to seal.
3 They have gone — the glad heralds of mercy have gone
To the land where the martyrs once bled :
Where the " Beast and False Prophet" have since trodden down
The fair fabric that Zion had laid :
Where the cfiurches once planted, and water' d, and blest
With the dews which the Spirit distill' d,
Have been smitten, despoil'd, and by heathen possessed;
And the places that knew them, defil'd.
4 They have gone — O, thou Shepherd of Israel — have gone
The glad mission in love to restore :
Thou wilt not forsake them, nor leave them alone ;
Thy blessing we humdly implore,
Thy blessing go with them — Oh be thou their shield
From the shafts of the fowler that fly;
O, Saviour of sinners, thine arm be reveal'd
In mercy, in might, from on high.

1 Come, let us draw near,
The Saviour to hear,
As he speaks in the accents of love;
" He that cometh to me,
Shall from sin be set free,
And be welcom'd to mansions above.
2 " Who in me confide,
Shall safely outride,
All the tempests that lour beneath;
With the ransom'd shall soar
1 To eternity's shore,
And outfly all the arrows of death.
3 " Through me they shall come
To their permanent home,
The fruition of heaven to prove :
By love they shall rise
And look down on the skies,
For the heaven of heavens is love,,;

Who the Saviour obey, {above ;
And have laid up their treasures
O ! what tongue can express

Of a soul in its earliest love.
2 'Tis heaven below,
My Redeemer to know :
And the angels could do nothing more
Than to fall at his feet,
And the story repeat,
And the Lover of sinners adore.
3 Yes, all the day long
Is Jesus my song,
And redemption thro' faith inhisname:
O, that all might believe,
And salvation receive, [same.
And their song and their joy be the

1 Our voices we raise,
The Saviour to praise, [dif :
For the love that constrain'd him to
Let us joyfully sing

2 'Twas for rebels in sin
That Jesus was slain ;
'Twas for rebels he hung on the tree,
And languished and bled,
And dwelt with the dead, [free.
That they from the curse might be
3 Yot the grave had no pow'r
In that gloomy ho'ir;
The victim it could not retain :
Triumphant he rose,
Despoiling his foes,
Ascending in heaven to reign.
4 Thy name be adored,
O Jehovah, our Lord ! [die:
For the love that constrain'd thee to
For ever we'll sing
Our once crucified King,
Now risen, exalted on high.

40. Mourning Penitents.
1 Drooping souls, no longer mourn,
Jesus still is precious :
If to him you now return,
Heav'n will be propitious.
Jesus now is passing by,
Calling wand'rers near him :
Drooping souls, you need not die:
Go to him and hear him.
2 He has pardons, full and free,
Drooping souls to gladden;
Still he cries, " Come unto me,
Weary, heavy laden."
Tho' your sins like mountains high,
Rise, and reach to heaven ;
Soon as you on him rely,
All shall be forgiven.
3 Precious is the Saviour's name,
All his saints adore him;
He to save the dying came,
Prostrate bow before him :
Wand'ring sinners, now return :
Contrite souls, believe him !
Jesus calls you ; cease to mourn :
Worship him ; receive him.
41. Conviction.
t Dying souls, fast bound in sin,
Trembling and repining, —
With no ray of light divine
On your pathway shining,
Why in darkness wander on,
Fill'd with consternation,
Jesus lives : in him alone
Can you find salvation.
Worthless all your righteousness ;
You the law have broken :
Flee you then to sov'reign grace!
Mercy thus hath spoken.
Why in deeds that you have done
Seek for consolation?
Jesus lives : in him alone
Can you find salvation.
3 Guilty, helpless, and distress'd,
Ruined and despairing, —
Toiling for deceitful rest, —
Rebel, heaven-daring!
Prostrate bow before the throne;
Take the lowest station;
Jesus lives : in him alone
Can you find salvation.
4 [Prostrate bow ; confess your guilt;
Own your lost condition;
Yield to Him whose blood was spilt,
Unreserv'd submission.
Then no more in anguish groan :
Seek his mediation!
Jesus lives : in Him alone
Can you find salvation.]
5 Linger not in all the plain
Vengeance is pursuing :
'Mid the dying and the slain,
Save your souls from ruin
Flee to Him who can atone ;
Flee from condemnation!
Jesus fives : in Him alone
Can you find salvation.

4fc2* Pleading for Assistance*
i Jesus, our Prince and Saviour,
May sinners sick and poor,
Thro' thy atoning favor,
Approach to mercy's doorl
We come in spirit broken,
Before thy throne of grace :
O grant us some kind token,
And bid us go in peace.
2 Lord, we are helpless creatures,
Unworthy, but in need;
In all our moral features,
By nature wholly dead :
Our strength is perfect weakness,
Our hearts are prone to sin,
Deficient still in meekness,
While passions rage within.
3 In this forlorn condition,
Who shall afford us aid ?
Where shall we find compassion,
But in the church's Head ?
Jesus, thou bleeding Saviour!
Restore us by thy lovej
And let thy heav'nly favor
No more from us remove.
4 Now hear our supplication,
We fervently implore ;
Restore us thy salvation,
And we shall want no more:
Upheld by thy free Spirit,
We'll celebrate thy praise,
Till sinners feel thy merit,
And sing converting grace.
43. The Sim of Righteousness*
i Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian while he sings :
The Lord of Life arises,
And his salvation brings.
While comforts are declining,
He sees us in distress;
Then heals us by his shining,
The Sun of righteousness.
In holy contemplation,
We sweetly then pursue
The theme of God's salvation,
And find it ever new:
Then freed from care and sorrow
We cheerfully can say,
Let the unknown to-morrow
Bring hither what it may.
His presence fills the vallies,
And crowns the lofty hills :
He clothes the feeble lilies,
And waters them with rills :
Beneath the spreading heavens
No ereature but is fed ;
And He who feeds the ravens,
Will give his children bread.
Though vine nor fig tree either
Its fruit or leaves should bear;
Though all the fields should wither.
Nor flocks nor herds be there ;
Yet God, the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice ;
For while in him eonfiding,
I cannot but rejoice.
44. The Great Physician*
How lost was my condition,
Till Jesus made me whole .
There is but one Physician
Can save a ruin'd soul !
Nigh unto death he found me,
And snatch'd me from the grave.,
To show to all around me
His wond'rous pow'r to save.
A dying, risen Jesus,
Seen by the eye of faith,
At onee from danger frees us,
And saves the soul from death.
Then eorae to this Physician,
For life he'll freely give ;
He makes no hard condition:
'Tis only — look, and uve*

46, Redeeming Grace.
1 Ancient of Days!
Thy name we praise,
And glory give to thee •'
That dying men,
Redeem'd from sin,
May thy salvation see.
2 We raise the song •
With joyful tongue
To him that once was slain :
Low with the dead
He bow'd his head,
But soon reviv'd again.
3 Ascending high,
No more to die,
See the triumphant Lord!
O how divine
His glories shine,
By heav'n and earth ador'd.
4 Immanuel!
- Our bosoms fill
With the seraphic fire ;
That we may join
In themes divine,
That wake th' angelic choir.
5 Now to the Lamb
That once was slain,
Be wisdom, glory, power,
And blessing giv'n
By eairth and heav'n,
While all their hosts adore.
6 Ancient of Days!
Thy glories blaze
Amid th' enraptur'd throng 5
From this glad hour
For evermore^
We join the deathless song.
47. Prayer for tlie Convicted.
I (), God of grace
And righteousness,
Now lend the list'ning ear :
To thee on high
Thy children cry,
O, Jesus ! deign to hear
2 These rebels slain,
May live again,
If they believe on thee :
O make them bow
To Jesus now,
And thy salvation see.
3 Thy cause we plead,
For thou didst bleed
To ransom souls from death :
" Father, forgive,
"And let them live," . ..
Was e'en thy dying breath.
4 Thy purchase claim,
O bleeding Lamb !
Thou ris'n, exalted Lord!
These rebels, then
Renouncing sin,
Shall own th' incarnate Word?
48. Prospect of Heaven.
There remaineth therefore a rest. Heb. 4 : 9.
1 While here I sit
At Jesus' feet,
Amid the vale of tears;
I'll trust his grace,
And sing his praise,
Nor yield to doubts and fears.
2 And can it be
That I shall see
My Saviour face to face 1
For ever prove
His boundless love,
And endless anthems raise?
3 The thought shall still
My musings fill,
By cares and sorrows prest;
The blessed hope
Shall lift me up —
The hope of endless rest.
4 When God appears
To wipe the tears ^'
From ev'ry pilgrim's e3re,
What tongue can tell
The joys they'll feel
Throughout eternity.

1 Light ofthosewhose dreary dwelling
Border's on the shades of death,
Come, and by thy love revealing,
Dissipate the clouds beneath :
The new heaven and earth's Crea-
In our deepest darkaess rise; [tor,
Scatt'ring all the night of nature,
Pouring eyesight on our eyes.
2 Still we wait for thine appearing ;
Life and joy thy beams impart.
Chasing all our fears, and cheering
Ev'ry poor, benighted heart.
Come and manifest thy favor
To the ransom'd, helpless race;
Come, thou glorious God and Sav-
iour ! [grace.
Come, and bring the Gospel
3 Save us in thy great compassion,
O, thou mild, pacific Prince !
Give the knowledge of salvation,
Give the pardon of our sins ;
By thine all-sufficient merit
Ev'ry burden'd soul release ;
Ev'ry weary, Wand'ring spirit
Guide into thy perfect peace.
50. IiO-ve Uivlne.
I Love divine, all love excelling,
Joy of heav'nto earth come down!
Fix in us thy humble dwelling ;
All thy faithful mercies crown ;
Jesus, thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love thou art :
Visit us with thy salvation,
Enter ev'xy trembling heart.
2 Breathe, O breathe thy having Spirit
Into ev'ry troubled breast:
Let us all thy grace inherit)
Let us find thy promis'd rest;
Take away the love of sinning,
Take our load of guilt away 5
End the work of thy beginning,
Bring us to eternal day*
3 Carry on thy new creation,
Pure and holy may we be ;
Let us see our whole salvation
Perfectly secured by thee ;
Change from glory into glory,
Till in heav'n we take our place ,
Till we cast our crowns before thee*
Lost in wonder, love* and praise*
51. Zioni
1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God ;
He, whose word cannot be broken,
Form'd thee for his own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded —
What can shake thy sure repose ?
With salvation's walls surrounded^
Thou may'st smile at all thy foes.
2 See the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal love,
To supply thy sons and daughters.
And the fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
Ever flows, thy thirst t'assuage?
Grace, which, like the Lord, the
giver,
Never fails from age to age*

And smile on all around.
2 To him their prayers and cries

He listens to their broken sighs,
And grants them all their want*.
Give me, O Lord, a place
Within thy blest abode,
Among the children of thy grace,
The servants of my God.

1 O, bless the Lord, my soul !
Let all within me join,
And aid my tongue to bless his name
Whose favors are divine :
:Tis he forgives thy sins ;
'Tis he relieves thy pain ;
'Tis he that heals thy sicknesses,
And makes thee young again.
2 He crowns thy life with love,
When ransom'd from the grave :
He that redeenrd my soul from hell
Hath sovereign pow'r to save.
He fills the poor with good :
He gives the suiT Vers rest: [proud.
The Lord hath judgments for the

59« Missionary Hymn*
1 From Greenland's icy mountains,
From India's coral strand,
Where Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand ;
From many an aneient river,
From many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chain.
2 What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Java's isle,
Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile :
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strewn,
The heathen in his blindness,
Bows down to wood and stone !
'3 Can we, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high,
Can we, to men benighted,
The lamp of life deny 1
Salvation! O Salvation!
The joyful sound proclaim,
Till earth's remotest nation
Has learn'd Messiah's name !
4 Waft, waft, ye winds, the story,
And you ye waters roll,
Till, like a sea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole ;
Till o'er, our ransom'd nature,
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
{n bliss returns to reign !
60. Psaim lxxii,
1 Hail, to the Lord's anointed '
Great David's greater Son;
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free;
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.
2 He comes, with succor speedy,
To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing,
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemn'd and dying
Were precious in his sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth,
And love, and joy, like flowers,
Spring in his path to birth :
Before him, on the mountains,
Shall peace, the herald, go,
And righteousness, in fountaius,
From hill to valley flow.
4 For Him shall prayer unceasing,
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end :
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove ;
His name shall stand for ever ;
That name to us is — Love.

62. Prospect of Heaven.
1 There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign,
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
There everlasting spring abides,
And never-withering flowers :
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly land from ours.
2 Sweet fields beyond the swelling
Stand dress'd in living green : [flood
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolfd between.
But timorous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea,
And linger, shivering on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
3 Oh, could we make our doubts re*
move,
Those gloomy doubts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love,
With unbeclouded eyes !
Could we but climb wh ere .Moses stood
And view the landscape o'er, [flood
Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold
Should fright us from the shore.
63. Happy in Heath.
Jesus 1 the vision of thy face,
Hath overpowering charms ! [brace
Scarce shall I feel death's cold em-
If Christ be in my arms, [break,
Then, while ye hear my heart-strings
How sweet my minutes roll !
A mortal paleness on my cheek.
And glory in my soul.
6i« Hoxdogy.
The God of mercy be ador'd
Who calls our souls from death,
Who saves by his redeeming word,
And new-creating breath.
To praise the Father, and the Son,
And Spirit, all divine,
The One in Three, and Three in One,
Let saints and angels join.

65* General Praise*
1 Begin, my soul, thr' exalted lay,
Let each enraptur'd thought obey,
And praise th' Almighty name :
Lo ! heav'n and earth, and seas and
skies,
In one melodious concert rise,
To swell th' inspiring theme.
2 Thou heav'n of heavens, his vast
abode — [God;
Ye clouds, proclaim your maker
Ye thunders speak his power :
Lo ! on the lightning's fiery wing,
In triumph walks th' eternal King:
Th' astonish' d worlds adore.
3 Ye deeps with roaring billows rise,
To join the thunders of the skies —
Praise him who bids you roll :
His praise in softer notes declare,
Each whisp'ring breeze of yielding
And breathe it to the soul, [air,
4 Wake, all ye soaring throng, and
sing;
Ye feather'd warblers of the spring,
Harmonious anthems raise
To Him who shaped your finer
mould, [gold,
Who tipt your glitteringwings with
And tun'd your voice to praise.
5 Let man, by nobler passions sway'd
Let man, in God's own image made,
His breath in praise employ :
Spread wide his Maker's name
around, [sound,
Till heav'n shall echo back the
In songs of holy joy.
66. Chtristian Enjoyment*
I How happy shall thy children be,
"Whose souls, O Lord, are drawn to
Away from earthly care : [thee.
Between the mount* and multitude,
• Of Transfiguration.

Their days are spent in doing good;
Their nights in praise and pray'r.
2 They feel no melancholy void ;
No moment lingers unemployed,
While trav'lling here below :
Their weariness of life is gone,
Who live to serve the Lord alone,
And only thee to know.
3 The winter's night, and summer's
Glide imperceptibly away, [day
Too short to sing thy praise :
Too few, they find the happy hours;
And long to join the heav'nly pow-
In their exalted lays. [ers
4 With all who chant thy name on
And holy, holy, holy ! cry, [high,
A bright, harmonious throng,
They long thy praises to repeat,
To sing around thy glorious seat,
The new eternal song.
67. Praise to the Redeemer.
1 O, could I speak the matchless
worth,
O, could I sound the glories forth,
That in my Saviour shine;
I'd soar and touch the heav'nly
strings,
And vie with Gabriel while he sings,
In notes that are divine.
2 I'd sing the characters he bears,
And all the forms of love he wears,
Exalted on his throne :
In loftiest songs of sweetest praise,
I would, to everlasting days,
Make all his glories known.
3 Soon the delightful day will come,
When my dear Lord will bring me
And I shall see his face : [home,
Then, with my Saviour, brother,
Abless'd eternity I'll spend, [friend,
Triumphant in his grace.

And bade him raise our wretched
From their abyss of woes.
3 His hand no thunder bears ;
No terrors clothe his brow;
No bolts to drive our guilty souls

And wrath stood silent by, [down
When Christ was sent with pardor.
To rebels doom'd to die.

Let hopeless sorrow cease;
Bow to the sceptre of his love,

1 Children of the heavenly King,
As ye journey, sweetly sing;
Sing your Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious in his works and ways.
2 Ye are traveling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod;
They are happy now, and ye
Soon their happiness shall see.
3 Shout ye little flock and blest,
You near Jesus' throne shall rest ;
There your seats are now prepar'd,
There your kingdom and reward.
4 Fear not, brethren; joyful stand
On the borders of your land !
Jesus Christ, your Father's Son,
Bids you, undismay'd, go on !
5 Lord, obediently we'll go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only thou our leader be,
And we still will follow thee.
78» Redeeming IiOve.
1 Now begin the heav'nly theme;
Sing aloud the Saviour's name;
Ye who Jesus' kindness prove,
Triumph in redeeming love.
2 Ye, who see the Father's grace,
Beaming in the Saviour's face —
As to Canaan on ye move,
Praise and bless redeeming love.
3 Mourning souls dry up your tears,
Banish all your gloomy fears ;
See your guilt and curse remove,
Cancell'd by redeeming love.
-i^ Ye, alas ! who long have been
Willing slaves of death and sin!
Now from bliss no longer rove ;
Turn, and taste redeeming love.
5 Welcome, all by sin opprest —
Welcome to his sacred rest :
Nothing brought him from above,
Nothing — but redeeming love.
6 Hither, then, your music bring,
Strike aloud each joyful string;
Mortals join the hosts above —
Join to praise redeeming love.
79. Rvith i. 16--1S,
1 People of the living God !
I have sought the world around,
Paths of sin and sorrow trod, [found:
Peace and comfort nowhere
2 Now to you my spirit turns,
Turns — a fugitive unblest;
Brethren ! where your altar burns,
O, receive me into rest.
3 Lonely, I no longer roam, [wave "
Like the cloud, the wind, the
Where you dwell shall be my home
Where you die shall be my grave.
i Mine the God whom you adore — ■
Your Redeemer shall be mine j
Earth can fill my soul no more ;
Every idcj I resign !
SO. Self Consecration.
t Dust and ashes though we be,
Full of guilt and misery ;
Thine we are, thou Son of God .
Take the purchase of thy blood.
2 Boundless wisdom, pow'r divine,
Love unspeakable, are thine !
Praise by all to thee be giv'n,
By thy sons of earth and heav'n !
81. Doxology.
Sing we to our God above,
Praise eternal as his love:
Praise him all ye heavenly host,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Saints*
1 The God of love will sure indulge
■ The flowing tear, the heaving sigh ;
When his own children fall around,
When tender friends and kindred
[die.
2 Yet not one anxious murm'ring
thought, [blend ;
Should with our moving passions
Nor should our bleeding hearts forget
Th' Almighty, ever-living friend.
3 Our father, God, to thee we look,
Our rock, our portion, and our all;
Fix'd on thy cov'nant love and truth,
.' Our sinking souls shall never fall.
83. John vi. 67«=69.
1 Thou only Sovereign of my heart,
My Refuge, my Almighty Friend !
And can my soul from thee depart,
On whom alone my hopes depend !
2 Whither, ah ! whither shall I go,
A wretched wanderer from myLord!
Can this dark world of sin and wo
One glimpse of happiness afford ?
3 Eternal life thy words impart;
On these my fainting spirit lives ;
Here sweeter comfort cheers my heart
Than all the round of nature gives.
4 Let earth's alluring joys combine;
While thou art near, in vain they call;
One smile, one blissful smile of thine,
My dearestLord,outweighs them all.
5 Low at thy feet my soul would lie ;
Here safety dwells,and peace divine;
Still let me live beneath thine eye,
For life, eternal life, is thine.
Si, The Bleeding Cross.
1 When I survey the wond'rous cross
On which the Prince of glory died ;
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, tnat 1 snould boast,
Save in the cross of Christ my God;
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to his blood.
3 See from his head, his hands,his feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown ?
4 Were the whole realm of nature
mine,
That were an off' ring far too small'
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
85. Physician of Souls.
1 Deep are the wounds which sin has
made ;
Where shall the sinner find a cure ?
In vain, alas, is nature's aid;
The work exceeds her utmost pow'r
2 And can no sov'reign balm be found?
And is no kind physician nigh,
To ease the pain and heal the wound,
Ere life and hope for ever fly?
3 There is a great Physician near;
Lookup, O fainting soul, and live ;
See, in his heav'nly smiles appear
Such ease as nature cannot give !
86. Invitation to Sinners.
1 Come weary souls, with sin distrest,
Come, and accept the promis'd rest;
The Saviour's gracious call obey,
And cast your gloomy fears away.
2 Oppress'd with guilt, a painful load,
O come, and spread your woes
abroad ;
Divine compassion, mighty love,
Will all the painful load remove.
3 Here mercy's boundless ocean
flows, [woes ;
To cleanse your guilt and heal your
Pardon, and life, and endless peace-
How rich the gift,how free the grace !

Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

And scatter'd their legions, was mightier far ;
They fled like the chaff, from the scourge that pursu'd them ,
Vain were their steeds, and their chariots of war.
3 Daughter of Zion, the Pow'r that hath sav'd thee,
Extoll'd with the ha»p and the timbrel should be;
" Shout! for the foe isdestroy'dthat enslav'd thee,
Th' oppressor is vanquish'd, and Zion is free.

89. Flight of Time*
1 Time is winging us away
To our eternal home ;
Life is but a winter's day,
A journey to the tomb.
Youth and vigor soon will flee,
Blooming beauty lose its charms :
All that's mortal soon will be
Enclos'd in death's cold arms.
2 Time is winging us away
To our eternal home ;
Life is but a winter's day,
A journey to the tomb.
But the Christian shall enjoy
Health and beauty soon above,
Far beyond the world's alloy,
Secure in Jesus' love.
90* Christ and him Crucified*
1 Vain, delusive world adieu,
With all of creature good ;
Only Jesus I pursue,
Who bought me with his blood.
All thy pleasure I forego;
All thy wealth and all thy pride,
Only Jesus will I know,
And Jesus crucified.
2 Turning to my rest again,
The Saviour I adore ;
He relieves my grief and pain,
And bids me weep no more.
Rivers of salvation flow
From his head, his hands, his aide!
Only Jesus will I know,
And Jesus crucified.
3 Him to know is life and peace,
And pleasure without end.
This is all my happiness,
On Jesus to depend —
Daily in his grace to grow,
In his favor to abide :
Only Jesus will I know,
And Jesus crucified.
91* Remember Calvary*
1 Lamb of God whose bleeding love
We now recall to mind ;
Send the answer from above,
And let us mercy find ;
Think on us who think on thee;
Ev'ry burden'd soul release :
Oh, remember Calvary,
And bid us go in peace.
2 Through thy blood by faith applied,
Let sinners pardon feel ;
Speak us freely justified,
And all our sickness heal :
By thy passion on the tree,
Let our griefs and troubles cease
O remember Calvary,
And bid us go in peace.

X Jerusalem, Jerusalem! enthroned once on high,
Thou favor'd home of God on earth; thou heaven below the sky !-'
Now brought to bondage with thy sons, a blighting curse to see ;
Jerusalem, Jerusalem ! our tears shall flow for thee !
2 Oh, hadstthou known thy day of grace ; and flock'd beneath the wing
Of Him who call'd thee lovingly, thine own anointed king,
Then had the tribes of all the earth gone up thy bliss to see ;
And glory dwelt within thy gates ; and all thy sons been free.
3 Thy day of grace is sunk in night ; thy time of mercy spent ;
For heavy was thy children's crime, and sore their punishment !
Oh ! might that day again return, and gild thy desert clime ;
Then wouldst thou seek thy Saviour's face in that accepted time.
4 Jerusalem, Jerusalem! the promised hour draws nigh,
When all thy woes shall have an end, in joy and victory !
Soon shall thy darkness dissipate ; thy Saviour thou shalt sec \
Glory shall dwell within thy gates, and all thy sons be free.
93. The Heavenly City.
1 Jerusalem, my happy home ! name ever dear to me ;
When shall my labors have an end, in joy and peace in thee 1
When shall these eyes thy heav'n built walls, and pearly gates behold ?
Thy bulwarks with salvation strong; and streets with shining gold.
2 Oh, when, thou city of my God ! shall I thy courts ascend,
Where congregations ne'er break up, and Sabbaths never end ?
Why should I shrink from pain and wo : or feel at death dismay
Jerusalem I soon shall view in realms of endless day.
3 Apostles, martyrs, prophets there around my Saviour stand,
And soon my friends in Christ below, will join the glorious band,
Jerusalem, my happy home ! my soul still pants for thee ;
There shall my labors have an end when I thy jjoys shall see.

A sainted spirit wings its way :
And pure before the throne appears,
In robes of bright, ethereal day.

1 Sweet is the scene where Christians
Where holy souls retire to rest; [die,
How mildly beams the closing eye!
How gently heaves th' expiring
[breast !
2 So fades a summer cloud away;
So sinks the gale when storms are
So gently shuts the eye of day ; [o'er;
So dies a wave along the shore.
3 Triumphant smiles the victor's brow,
Fann'd by some guardian angel's

O grave ! where is thy vict'ry now,
And wherei O death, where is thy

96. Reign of Christ on Earth.
1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journies run:
His kingdom stretch from shore to
shore, [more.
Till moons shall wax and wane no
2 Blessings abound where'er he
reigns: [chains;
The pris'ner leaps to loose his
The weary find eternal rest ;
And all the sons of want are blest.
3 Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honors to our King :
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud Amen.

97* Job xxix. 3.
1 Sweet was the time when first I felt
The Saviour's pard'niug blood
Appli'd to cleanse my soul from guilt,
And bring me home to God.
2 Soon as the morn the light reveal'd,
His praises tun'd my tongue;
And whenthe evening shade prevail'd
His love was all my song.
3 In pray'r my soul drew near the
And saw his glory shine ; [Lord,
And when I read his holy word
I call'd each promise mine.
4 But now, when evening shade pre-
My soul in darkness mourns; [vails,
And when the morn the light reveals,
No light to me returns.
5 Rise, Lord, and help me to prevail,
And make my soul thy care ;
I know that mercy cannot fail ;
Let me that mercy share.
98* Meditation*
1 While thee I seek,protecting Power!
Be my vain wishes still'd;
And may this consecrated hour
With better hopes be fill'd.
2 Thy love the pow'r of thought be-
stow'd,
To thee my thoughts would soar:
Thy mercy o'er my life has flow'd ;
That mercy I adore.
3 In each event of life, how clear
Thy ruling hand I see !
Each blessing to my soul most dear,
Because conferr'd by thee.
4 In every joy that crowns my days,
In every pain I bear,
My heart shall find delight in praise,
Or seek relief in prayer.
5 When gladness wings myjavor'd
hour,
Thy love my thoughts shall fill :
Resign'd, when storms of sorrow low'r
My soul shall meet thy will.
6 My lifted eye, without a tear,
The gath'ring storm shall see;
My steadfast heart shall knowno fear j
That heart will rest on thee.
99. Devotional Retreat*
1 Far from the world, O Lord, I flee,
From strife and tumult far; [still
From scenes where Satan wages
His most successful war.
2 The calm retreat, the silent shade.
With pray'r and praise agree :
And seem by thy sweet bounty made
For those who follow thee.
3 Then if thy Spirit touch the soul,
And grace her mean abode, [love,
Oh, with what peace, and joy, and
She there communes with God!
4 There, like the nightingale, she
Her solitary lays ; [pours
Nor asks a witness of her song,
Nor thirsts for human praise.
100. The Request*
1 Father, whate'er of earthly bliss
Thy sov'reign will denies,
Accepted at thy throne of grace,
Let this petition rise :
2 " Give me a calm, a thankful heart
From ev'ry murmur free ;
The blessings of thy grace impart,
And make me live to thee.
3 "Let the sweet hope that I am thine,
My life and death attend ; [shine*
Thy presence thro' my journey
And crown my journey's end."

101* Triumphs of tlie Gospel*
1 O, ZioD, tune thy voice,
And raise thy hands on high :
Tell all the world thy joys,
And shout salvation nigh;
Cheerful in God
Arise and shiue,
While rays divine
Stream all abroad.
2 He gilds thy mourning face
With beams which cannot fade;
His all-resplendent grace
He pours around thy head
The nations round
Thy form shall view
With lustre new
Divinely crown'd.
3 In honor to his name,
Reflect that sacred light,
And loud that grace proclaim
Which makes thy darkness bright:
Pursue his praise
Till sovereign love
In worlds above
Thy glory raise.
103* Resurrection of Christ.
1 Yes, the Redeemer rose ;
The Saviour left the dead;
And o'er our hellish foes
High rais'd his conq'ring head :
In wild dismay
The guards around
Fall to the ground,
And sink away.
2 Lo ! the angelic bands ,
In full assembly meet, .
To wait his high commands,
And worship at his feet:
Joyful they come, ,
And wing their way
From realms of day
To Jesus' tomb.
3 Then back to heaven they fly
The joyful news to bear:
Hark ! as they soar on high,
What music fills the air!
Their anthems say,
" Jesus, who bled,
Hath left the dead,
He rose to-day."
4 Ye mortals, catch the sound,
Redeem'd by him from hell ;
And send the echo round
The globe on which you dwell ;
Transported cry,
" Jesus, who bled
Hath left the dead
No more to die."
5 All hail, triumphant Lord,
Whosav'st us by thy blood!
Wide be thy name ador'd,
Thou rising, reigning God !
With thee we rise,
With thee we reign,
And empires gain
Beyond the skies.
103, 2 Corinthians, ii. 15, 16.
1 Praise to the Lord on high,
Who spreads his triumphs wide !
While Jesus' fragrant name
Is breath'd on every side :
Balmy and rich
The odors rise,
And fill the earth,
And reach the skies.
2 Ten thousand dying souls
Its influence feel — and live ;
Sweeter than vital air
The incense they receive :
They breathe anew
And rise and sing
Jesus, the Lord,
Their conq'ring King.

1 Is this the kind return ;
Are these the thanks we owe ;
Thus to abuse Eternal Love,
Whence all our blessings flow ?
2 To what a stubborn frame
Has sin reduc'd our mind !
What strange, rebellious wretches we,
And God as strangely kind !
'6 Turn, turn us, mighty God,
And mould our souls afresh !
Break, Sovereign Grace, these hearts
And give us hearts of flesh! [of stone,

Provoke our weeping eyes.
And hourly, as new mercies fall,
Let hourly thanks ar\?e,

105. Weeping Penitence.
1 Did Christ o'er sinners weep ;
And shall our tears be dry ?
Let floods of penitential grief
Burst forth from ev'ry eye.
2 The Son of God in tears,
The wond'ring angels see !
Be thou astonish'd, O my soul !
He shed those tears for thee!
106, Rest for the Weary.
1 O, where shall rest be found,
Rest for the weary soul !
Twere vain the ocean's depths to
Or pierce to either pole, [sound,
i The world can never give
The bliss for which we sigh :
'Tis not the whole oflife to live,
Nor all of death to die.
3 Beyond this vale of tears
There is a life above,
Unmeasur'd by the flight of years—
And all that life is love.
107. Christ our Light.
1 How heavy is the night
That hangs upon oar eyes,
Till Christ, with his reviving light,
Over our souls arise !
2 Our guilty spirits dread
To meet the Wrath of heav'n;
But, in his righteousness arf ay'd,
We see our sins forgiv'n.
3 Unholy and impure
Are all our thoughts and ways ;
His hands infected nature cure
With sanctifying grace;
4 The powers of hell agree
To hold our souls in vain ;
He sets the sons of bondage free,
And breaks the cursed chain.
5 Lord, we adore thy ways,
To bring us near to God, [grace,
Thy sovereign power, thy healing
And thy atoning blood.
108. A Coming Judgment.
1 How will my heart endure
The terrors of that day, [Judge
When earth and heaven before the
Astonish'd shrink away !
2 But ere that trumpet shakes
The mansions of the dead, [sound,
Hark! from the Gospel's cheering
What joyful tidings spread!
3 Ye sinners, seek his grace,
Whose wrath ye cannot bear;
Fly to the shelter of his cross,
And find salvation there.
4 So shall that curse remove,
By which the Saviour bled ;
And the last awful day shall pouf
His blessings on your head.
109 • Import unity •
1 Jesus, who knows full well
The heart of every saint;
Invites us all our griefs to tell,
To pray and never faint.
2 He bows his gracious ear—
We never plead in vain ;
Then let us wait till he appeal*,
And pray, and pray again.
3 Jesus, the Lord, will hear
His chosen when they cry ;
Yes, tho' he may a while forbear,
He'll help them fro-n on high.
4 Then let us earnest cry,
And never faint in pray'r :
He sees, he hears, and from on high
Will make our cause his care.

111. The Promises*
1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in his excellent word :
What more could his mercy and goodness have said
To those who for refuge to Jesus have fled ?
2 Fear not, he is with thee, O, be not dismay'd :
For he is thy God, and will give thee his aid:
He'll strengthen thee,help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by his gracious, Omnipotent hand.
3 When through the deep waters he calls thee to go,
The river of sorrow shall not overflow ;
His presence shall guide thee, his mercy shall bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 When through fiery trials thy pathway is laid,
His grace, all-sufficient, shall lend thee its aid ;
The flame shall not hurt thee; he does but design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5 His people, through life, shall abundantly prove
His sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love :
And when age with gray hairs shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in his bosom be borne.
5 The soul on his bosom that leans for repose,
la safe from th' assaults of its bitterest foes :
That soul — though all Hell should in vengeance awake,
fJe'U never — no never — no never forsake.

1 Happy soul, thy days are ending,
All thy mourning days below;
Go, by angel guards attending,
To the sight of Jesus, go.
Waiting to recieve thy spirit,
See, the Saviour stands above ;
Shows the fulness of his merit;
Reaches out the crown of love.
2 For the joy he sets before thee,
Bear a momentary pain;
Die, to live a life of glory ;
Suffer, with thy Lord to reign :
Struggle through thy latest passion
To the dear Redeemer's breast ;
To his uttermost salvation,
To his everlasting rest.
113. Weep not for departed
Saints.
1 O, ye mourners, cease to languish
O'er the grave of those ye love :
Pain, and death, and night, and an-
Enter not the world above. Tguish
While in darkness ye are straying,
Lonely, in the deep'ning shade ;
Glory's brightest beams are playing
Round th' immortal spirit's head.
2 O, ye mourners ! cease to languish
O'er the grave of those ye love;
Far remov'd from pain and anguish,
They are chanting hymns of love:
Light and peace at once deriving
From the hand of God most high,
In his glorious presence living,
They shall never, never die.
114. Mattnew xvi. 24.
) Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow thee;
Naked, poor, despised, forsaken,
Thou from hence my All shalt be.
Let the world neglect and leave me:
They have left my Saviour too;
Humanhopes have oft deceiv'd me:
Thou art faithful, thou art true.
2 Perish earthly fame and treasure,
Come disaster, scorn and pain ;
In thy service pain is pleasure —
With thy favor life is gain.
Oh ! 'tis not in grief to harm me,
While thy bleeding love I see ;
Oh ! 'tis not in joy to charm me,
When that love is hid from me.
115. Happiness only in God.
1 Tell me, wand'rer, wildly roving
From the path that leads to peace;
Pleasure's false enchantment loving,
When will thy delusion cease!
Once, like thee, by joys surrounded,
I could kneel at pleasure's shrine :
Then my brightest hopes were boun-
By delights as false as thine, [ded,
2 But those visions scarce had bless'd
When thatfleeting day was o'er;[me
Then the world that had caress'd me,
Charm'd me with its smiles no more .
Such is pleasure's transient story ;
Lasting happiness is known,
Only in the path to glory
In the Saviour's love alono

2 Convince us of our sin;
Then lead to Jesus' blood ;
And to our wond'ring view reveal
The secret love of God.
3 'Tis thine to cleanse the heart
To sanctify the soul—
To pour fresh life in every part.
And new create the whole.
4 Revive our drooping faith ;
Our doubts and fears remove;
And kindle in our hearts the flame
Of never-dying love.
119. Prayer for the Spiritt
1 Come, gracious Spirit, come
With energy divine ;
And on this poor benighted soul
With beams of mercy shine.
2 Oh, melt this frozen heart ;
This stubborn will subdue ;
These evil passions overcome,
And form my soul anew.
3 Mine will the blessing be ;
But thine be all the praise;
And unto thee will I devote
The remnant of my days,
120. Prayer for the Spirit.
1 O, Comforter divine !
Let beams of heavenly love
Amid our gloom and darkness
To raise our souls above, [shine,
2 By thy inspiring breath
Make every cloud of care,
And e'en the gloomy vale of death
A amile of glory wear.
121. Presence of the Saviour.
1 When gloomy doubts and fears
The trembling heart invade,
And all the face of nature wears
A universal shade —
2 Thy presence can assuage,
The tempest of the soul : [rage,
Tbe billows, Lord, shall cease to
At thy divine control.
3 Through life's bewilder'd way,
Thy hand unerring leads ; [ray
While o'er the path full many a
Its cheering lustre sheds.
i Where reason, tir'd and blind,
Sinks helpless and afraid,
There,blest Supporter of the mind,
How pow'rful is thy aid.
5 O, let me feel that pow'r,
And find the sweet relief;
To cheer my every gloomy hour
And charm my every grief.
122. Death of Sin "by the Cross.
1 Shall we go on in sin,
Because thy grace abounds,
Or crucify the Lord again,
And open all his wounds ?
2 Forbid it, mighty God!
Nor let it e'er be said
That we, whose sins are crucifi'd,
Should raise them from the dead.
3 We will be slaves no more,
Since Christ has made us free;
Has nail'd our tyrants to his cross,
And bought our liberty
133. Doxology.
Ye angels round the throne,
And saints that dwell below,
Worship the Father,praise the Son;
And bless the Spirit too.

1 My God, my Father, blissful name !
O, may I call thee mine !
May I, with sweet assurance, claim
A portion so divine

And bid my sorrows fly :
What harm can ever reach my soul
Beneath my Father's eye!
3 Whate'er thy holy will denies,
I cheerfully resign ; [wise !
Lord, tbou art good and just and
O, bend my will to thine.
4 Whate'er thy sacred will ordains,
O, give me strength to bear ;
And let me know my Father reigns,
And trust his tender care.
126. Iiiglit of God's counte-

1 My God, the spring of all my joys,
The life of my delights,
The glory of my brightest days,
And comfort of my nights :

My dawning is begun; [star,
Thou art my soul's bright morning
And thou my rising sun.

When Jesus shows his mercy mine,
And whispers, I am his.
127. Prayer for Repentance.
1 O, for that tenderness of heart
That bows before the Lord ! [art ;
That owns how just and good thou
And trembles at thy word.
2 O, for those humble, contrite tears
Which from repentance Aoav !
That sense of guilt which trembling
The long suspended blow, [fears
3 Saviour, to me in pity give
For sin the deep distress , [ceive,
The pledge thou wilt at last re-
And bid me die in peace.
4 O, fill my soul with faith and love,
And strength to do thy will :
Raise my desires and hopes above ,
Thyself to me reveal.
128. Self Crimination*
1 How rich the blessings from above
That compass me around,
But O, how few returns of love
Hath my Creator found !
2 What have I done for Him that died
To save my wretched soul ?
How are my follies multiplied,
Fast as the minutes roll !
3 Lord, with this guilty heart of mine,
To thy dear cross I flee,
And to thy grace my soul resign,
To be renew'd by thee.
4 Sprinkled afresh with pard'ning
I lay me down to rest, [blood,
As in th' embraces of my God,
Or on my Saviour's breast.
129. Asking for Grace*
1 Alas, what hourly dangers rise !
What snares beset my way!
To heav'n, O let me lift my eyes,
And hourly watch and pray.
2 O Lord, increase my faith and hope,
When foes and fears prevail;
And bear my fainting spirit up,
Or soon my strength will fail.
3 O, keep me in thy heav'nly way,
And bid the tempter flee;
And let me never, never stray
From happiness and thee.

134. Free Grace.
1 The voice of free grace cries " Escape to the mountain "
For Adam's lost race Christ has open'd a fountain;
For sin and uncleanness — for every transgression,
His blood flows most freely, in streams of salvation.
2 Ye souls that are wounded, O, flee to the Saviour
He calls you in mercy ; 'tis infinite favor :
Your sins are increasing; escape to the mountain —
His blood can remove them, which flows from the fountain.
3 O, Jesus, ride on, triumphantly glorious,
O'er sin, death, and hell, thou art more than victorious !
Thy name is the theme of the great congregation,
While angels and men raise the shout of salvation.
Hallelujah to the Lamb ! he hath purchas'd our pardon
We'll praise him again when we pass over Jordan.
This tune has, in some respects, a secular origin ; but having been written as a song of wailing for th»
fM.d, the association will be found sufficiently in char cler.

135* Praise*
1 Let every creature join
To praise th' eternal God;
Ye heavenly hosts the song begin,
And sound his name abroad.
2 Thou sun with golden beams,
And moon with paler rays,
Ye starry lights,ye twinkling flames
Shine to your Maker's praise.
3 He built those worlds above,
And fix'd their wond'rous frame ;
By his command they stand or move
And ever speak his name.
4 By all his works above,
His honors be exprest ; [love,
But saints, that taste his saving
Should sing his praises best.
136. Birth of Christ.
i Behold the grace appear!
The blessing promis'd long :
Angels announce the Saviour near,
In their triumphant song.
2 *' Glory to God on high,
And heav'nly peace on earth;
Good will to men, to angels joy,
At the Redeemer's birth."
3 In worship so divine
Let men employ their tongues ;
With the celestial host we join,
And loud repeat their songs.
4 " Glory to God on high,
And heav'nly peace on earth ;
Good will to men, to angels joy,
At our Redeemer's birth."
13T. The Saviour's Birth.
1 We come with joyful song
To hail the happy morn ;
Glad tidings from an angel's tongue,
*' Tbirt day is Jesus born."
2 What transports doth his name
To angels now afford !
His glorious titles they proclaim —
" A Saviour, Christ, the Lord."
3 Glory to God on high !
We hail the happy morn ,
We join the chorus of the sky,
And sing — the Saviour's born.
13 S. Christian Unity*
1 Let party names no more
The Christian world overspread ;
Gentile and Jew, and bond and free
Are one in Christ their head.
2 Among the saints on earth,
Let mutual love be found :
Heirs of the same inheritance,
With mutual blessings crown'd.
3 Thus will the Church below,
Resemble that above, [flow,
Where streams of pleasure ever
And ev'ry heart is love.
139. A Morning Hymn*
1 Serene, I laid me down
Beneath his guardian care ;
I slept, and I awoke, and found
My kind Preserver near '.
2 Thus does thine arm support
This weak, defenceless frame ;
But whence these favors, Lord, to
All worthless as I am ? [me,
3 O how shall I repay
The bounties of my God ?
This feeble spirit pants beneath
The pleasing, painful load.
4 My life I would anew
5>evote, O Lord, to thee ;
And in thy service I would spend
A long eternity.

Thou Larab of Calvary ;
Saviour divine !
Now hear me while I pray ;
Take all my guilt aWay;
O let me from this day
Be wholly thine.
2 May thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire ;
As thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee,
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire.
3 While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold, sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll ;
Blest Saviour, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove :
O, bear me safe above —
A ransom'd soul.
143. Worthy the Lamb*
1 " Glory to God on high !"
Let heav'n and earth reply,
" Praise ye his name !"
His rove and grace adore,
Who all our sorrows bore ;
Sing aloud evermore —
"Worthy the Lamb."
2 Ye who surround the throne,
Cheerfully join in one,
Praising his name :
His love and grace adore,
Who all our sorrows bore ;
Sing aloud evermore
" Worthy the Lamb."
3 Join all ye ransom'd race
Our Lord and God to bless ;
Praise ye his name :
On him we fix our choice,
In him we will rejoice,
Shouting Avith heart andvoice-
" Worthy the Lamb."
i Soon must we close our race,
Yet will we never cease,
Praising his name :
But as we upward wing.
Hail him our gracious King,
And through the heavens sing-
" Worthy the Lamb."
143. Invocation*
1 Come thou Almighty King,
Help us thy name to sing,
Help us to praise :
Father all glorious,
O'er all victorious,
Come and reign over us",
Ancient of Days.
2 Come thou incarnate Word,
Jesus, our glorious Lord,
Our prayer attend ;
Come, and thy people bless,
Come, give thy word success
Spirit of holiness,
On us descend.
3 Come, holy Comforter,
Thy sacred witness bear
In this glad hour :
Thou who Almighty art,
Now rule in cv'ry heart,
And ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of pow'r.

'Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace : thereby good shall come unto thee.'
1 Acquaint thyself quickly, O sinner, with God,
And joy, like the sunshine, shall beam on thy road,
And peace, like the dew drop shall fall on thy head
And sleep, like an angel, shall visit thy bed.
2 Acquaint thyself quickly, O sinner, with God,
And he shall be with thee when fears are abroad;
Thy safeguard in dangers that threaten thy path ;
Thy joy in the valley and shadow of death.
1*5. Delay not.
1 Delay not, delay not, O sinner draw near !
The waters of life are now flowing for thee
No price is demanded, the Saviour is here,
Redemption is purchas'd, salvation is free.
2 Delay not, delay not, why longer abuse
The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God 1
A fountain is open'd, how can' st thou refuse
To wash and be cleans'd in his pardoning blood
3 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, to come,
For mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day,
Her voice is not heard in the vale of the tomb;
Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away
4 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of Grace,
Long griev'd and resisted, may take its sad flight ,
And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race,
To sink in the vale of eternity's night.
5 Delay not, delay not, the hour is at hand —
The earth shall dissolve, and the heavens shall fade,
The dead, small and great, in the judgment shall stand;
What pow'r, then, O sinner ! shall lend thee its aid ! -

Their redemption is at hand,

Heav'n and earth before him fly !
Rise, ye saints, he comes for you;
Rise to meet him in the sky.
Go and dwell with him above,
Where no foe can e'er molestj
Happy in the Saviour's love !
Ever blessing, ever blest.
147'. Christ's Ascension*
I " Wide ye heav'nly gates unfold,
Closed no more by death and sin ,
Now the conq'ring Lord behold ;
Let the King of glory in."
Hark, th' angelic host inquire
« Who is he, th' Almighty King?'*
Hark again, the answering choir
Thus in strains of triumph sing.
\ " He whose pow'rful arm alone,
To his foes destruction hurl'd ;
He who hath the vict'ry won,
He who sav'd a ruin'd world \
He who God's pure law fulfill'd,
Jesus, the incarnate Word;
He whose truth with blood was seal'd;
He is heaven's all glorious Lord.
148. The three Mounts.
1 When on Sinai's top I see
God descend in majesty,
To proclaim his holy law,
All my spirits sink with awe.
When in ecstacy sublime,
Tabor's glorious steep I climb,
At the too transporting light,
Darkness rushes o'er my sight.
2 When on Calvary I rest,
God, in flesh made manifest,
Shines, in my Redeemer's face,
Full of beauty, truth, and grace.
Here I would for ever stay ;
Weep and gaze my sou! away.
Thou art heav'n on earth to me,
Lovely, mournful Calvary.
14:9. Fsalin lsvii»
On thy Church, O, Pow'r divine !
Cause thy glorious face to shine,
Till the nations from afar
Hail her as their guiding star.
Then shallGod with bounteous hand
Scatter blessings o'er the land ;
And the world's remotest bound
With the voice of praise resound,

1 The Lord is my Shepherd ; he makes me repose
Where the pastures in beauty are grov/ing ;
He leads me afar from the world and its woes,
Where in peace the still waters are flowing.
2 He strengthens my spirit, he shows me the path
Where the arms of his love shall enfold me ;
And when I walk through the dark valley of death,
His rod and his staff will uphold me !
151* Solomon's Songs, i. 79 8«
" Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where lliou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest «t
booh ; for why should 1 be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions ?
If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of Hie flock, *.ai
feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.'"
1 O tell me, thou Life and delight of my soul,
Where the flock of thy pasture are feeding;
I seek thy protection, I need thy control ;
I would go where my Shepherd is leading,
2 Oh, tell me the place where thy flock are at rest,
Where the noontide will find them reposing?
The tempest now rages, my soul is distrest,
And the pathway of peace I am losing.
3 Oh, why should I stray with the flocks of thy foes,
'Mid the desert where now they are roving,
Where hunger and thirst, where afflictions and woes,
And temptations their ruin are proving ?
4 O, when shall my woes and my wanderings cease?
And the follies that fill me with weeping!
Thou Shepherd of Israel! restore me that peace
Thou dost give to the flock thou art keeping.
6 A voice from the Shepherd now bids thee return
By the way where the foot-prints are lying :
No longer to wander, no longer to mourn j
O, fair one ! now homeward be flying !

1 Arm of the Lord, awake, awake !
Put on thy strength, the nations shake;
And let the world, adoring, see
Triumphs of mercy wrought by thee.
2 Say to the heathen from thy throne,
I am Jehovah — God alone ',
Thy voice their idols shall confound,
And cast their altars to the ground.
3 Almighty God, thy grace proclaim,
In ev'ry land of ev'ry name ;
Let Zion's time of favor come ;
0 bring the tribes of Israel home.
4 Arm of the Lord, awake, awake !
Put on thy strength,the nations shake;
Let hostile pow'rs before thee fall,
And crown the Saviour Lord of all !
156* Christian Race*
1 Awake our souls, away our fears ;
Let ev'ry trembling thought be gone;
Awake and run the heavenly race,
And put a cheerful courage on.
2 True, 'tis a straight and thorny road,
And mortal spirits tire and faint ;
But they forget the mightyGod,[saint.
That feeds the strength of every
3 From thee, the overflowing spring,
Our souls shall drink a fresh supply,
While such as trust their native
strength
Shall melt away,and droop and die.
4 Swift as an eagle cuts the air,
We'll mount aloft to thine abode ;
On wings of love our souls shall fly,
Nor tire amidst the heavenly road.
157. Triumph of Trath.
1 Who shall the Lord's elect condemn?
'Tis God who justifies their souls ;
And mercy, like a mighty stream,
O'er all their sins divinely rolls.
2 Who shall adjudge the saints to hell?
'Tis Christ that sufler'd in their
And their salvation to fulfil, [stead ;
Behold him rising from the dead.
3 He lives ! he lives ! and sits above,
For ever interceding there ;
Who shall divide us from his love,
Or who shall tempt us to despair!
4 Shall persecution, or distress,
Famine, or sword, or nakedness !
He that hath lov'd us bears us through
And makes us more than conq'rers
too.
5 Faith hath an overcoming pow'r,
It triumphs in a dying hour;
Christ is our life, our joy, our hope,
Nor shall we sink with such a prop.
158. Warfare.
1 Stand up,my soul, shake off thy fear
And gird the gospel armor on ;
March to the gates of endless joy,
Where Jesus thy great captain's
gone.
2 Hell and thy sins resist thy course,
But hell and sin are vanquish'd foes;
Thy Jesus nail'd them to his cross,
And sung the triumph as he rose.
3 Then let thy soul march boldly on,
Press forward to the heav'nly gate;
There peace and jo3T eternal reign,
And glitt'ring robes for conq'rers
wait.
159. Christ's reign on earth.
1 Now let the angels sound on high,
Let shouts be heard thro' all the sky;
Kings of the earth, with glad accord,
Give up your kingdom to the Lord.
2 Almighty God ! thy pow'r assume,
Who wast and art and art to come ;
Jesus, the Lamb that once was slain*
For ever live—for ever reign.

For sovereign mercy still we wait,

Here let me view thy pard'ning love
And never from thy sight remove.

1 There is a voice of sovereign grace
Sounds from the sacred word ;
"Ho ! ye despairing sinners come,
And trust th" atoning Lord/'
2 My soul obeys th" Almighty call,
And runs to this relief:
I would believe thy promise, Lord,
Help thou my unbelief.
3 To the dear fountain of thy blood,
Incarnate God, I fly;
Here I would cleanse my guilty soul
From sins of deepest dye.
4 A sinful, weak, and helpless worm,
Into thine arms I fall : [ness,
Be thou my strength, my righteous-
My Jesus and my all.
168. Immediate Repentance.
1 Repent, the voice celestial cries,
Nor longer dare delay ;
The soul that scorns the mandate dies,
And meets the wrathful day.
2 No more the sovereign eye of God
O'erlooks the crimes of men;
He sends his messengers abroad,
To warn the world of sin.
3 Ye sinners in his presence bow,
And all your guilt confess ;
Accept the offer'd Saviour now,
Nor trifle with his grace.
4 Soon will the awful trumpet sound,
And call you to his bar ;
For mercy knows th* appointed bound
And yields to vengeance there.
5 O ! listen to the Saviour's call,
While he prolongs your days ; [fall,
Now yield your hearts, and prostrate
Ani weep, and love, and praise.
169, Grace.
1 Amazing grace ! how sweet the
That sav*d a soul like me ! [sound

Was blind, but now I see.
2 Twas grace that taught my heart to
Twas grace my fears reliev"d;[fear
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ'd!
3 Full many a danger, toil, and snare,
My soul has overcome ; [far,
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus
And grace will lead me home.
4 And when this flesh and heart shall
And mortal life shall cease ; [fail,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
170. Tiie Bible.
1 Father of mercies, in thy word
What endless glory shines !
For ever be thy name ador'd,
For these celestial lines.
2 Here may the wretched sons of want
Exhaustless riches find :
Riches above what earth can grant
And lasting as the mind.
3 Here the Redeemers welcome voice
Spreads heav'nly peace around
And life, and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.
.
4 O, may these heav'nly pages be
3Iy ever dear delight;
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light !
5 Divine Instructor, gracious Lord,
Be thou for ever near,
Teach me to love thy sacred word,
And view my Saviour there.

Mercy is found and peace is giv'n ;
But soon, ah soon ! approaching night
Shall blot out ev'ry hope of'heav'n.
2 While God invites, how bless'd the
day ! [sound !
How sweet the gospel's charming
" Come, sinners, haste,0, haste away,
While yet a pard:ning God he's

3 Soon, borne on time's most rapid
wing, [grave ;
Shall death command you to the
Before his bar your spirits bring,
And none be found to hear or save-
4 In that lone land of deep despair,
No Sabbath's heav'nly light shall
rise;
No God regard your bitter prayer ;
Nor Saviour call you to the skies.

1 Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb,
Take this new treasure to thy trust,
And give these sacred relics room
To seek a slumber in the dust.
2 Nor pain,nor grief, nor anxious fear,
Invade the bounds ; no mortal woes
Can reach the peaceful sleeper here,
While angels watch the soft repose.

Pass'd thro' the grave, and bless'd

Rest here, blest saint, till from his
The morning break, and pierce the

Attend, O earth ! his sovereign
Restore thy trust — a glorious form

Let a repenting rebel live ;
Are not thy mercies large and free ?
May not a sinner trust in theG ?

2 O, wash my soul from ev'ry sin,
And make ray guilty conscience
clean ;
Here on my heart the burden lies,
And past offences pain mine eyes.
3 Should sudden vengeance sieze my
breatb,
I must pronounce thee just,in death;
And if ray soul were sent to hell,
Thy righteous law approves it well.
4 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord,
Whose hope, still hov'ring round
thy word, [there,
Would light on some sweet promise
Some sure support against despair.
17i. Prayer foi* tlie Millennium*
1 Jesus, we bow before thy throne ;
We lift our eyes to seek thy face;
To bleeding hearts thy Jove make
known;
On contrite souls bestow thy grace.
2 See, spread beneath thy gracious
eye, [tears,
A world o'erwhelm'd in guilt and
Where deathless souls in ruin lie,
Andno kind voice dispels their fears.
3 Lord, arm thy truth with pow'r di-
vine ; i [shore,
Its conquests spread from shore to
Till suns and stars forget to shine,
And earth and skies shall be no more.
4 O rise, ye ransom'd captives, rise,
Peal the loud anthem here below;
Let earth reflect it to the skies, [glow.
And heav'n with new-born rapture
175. "Warning.
1 Say, sinner, hath a voice within,
Oft whisperd to thy inmost soul ;
Urgd thee to leave the ways of sin,
And yield thy heart to God's control?
2 Sinner, it was a heav'nly voice,
It was the Spirit's gracious call :
It bade thee make the happy choice,
And take the Saviour for thy all.

1 Come to Calv'ry's holy mountain,
Sinners ruin'd by the fall ,
Here a pure and healing fountain
Flows for every guilty soul,
In a full, perpetual tide ;
Open'd when the Saviour died.
2 Come, in sorrow and contrition,
Wounded, impotent, and blind;
Here the guilty seek remission,
Here the troubled refuge find :
Health this fountain will restore ;
He that drinks shall thirst no more,
3 Come, ye dying, live for ever ;
'Tis a soul-reviving flood :
God is faithful ; he will never
Break his cov'nant.seal'd in blood*
Sign'd when our Redeemer died —
Seal'd when he was glorifi'd;

179. Spring.
1 While beauty clothes the fertile vale
And blossoms on the spray,
And fragrance breathes in ev'ry gale,
How sweet the vernal day: [sing !
Hark ! how the feather'd warblers
'Tis nature's cheerful voice ;
Soft music hails the lovely spring,
And woods and fields rejoice.
2 How kind the influence of the skies,
While show'rs, with blessings
fraught,
Bid verdure, beauty, fragrance rise,
And fix the roving thought :
O, let my wond'ring heart confess,
With gratitude and love, [bless
The bounteous Hand that deigns to
Each smiling field and grove.
3 That Hand in this hard heart of
Can bid each virtue live ; [mine
"While gentle showers of grace divine,
Life, beauty, fragrance give :
O, God of nature, God of grace,
Thy heav'nly gifts impart :
And bid sweet meditation trace
Spring blooming in my heart.
180* Spring Spiritualized.
1 At length the op'ning spring has
How joyous is the scene ! [come,
The air is fill'd with rich perfume;
The fields are dress'd in green:
I see my Saviour, from on high,
Break thro' the clouds and shine ;
No creature now more bless'd than I,
No heart more glad than mine.
2 Thy word bids all my hopes revive,
It overcomes my foes;
It makes my languid graces thrive,
And blossoms like the rose :
Thus, Lord, a monument I stand,
Of what thy grace can do;
Still guide me with thy gentle hand,
The changing seasons through.
181. TSie Seasons.
1 The Lord is good; the heav'nly King
Still makes the earth his care;
Visits the pastures every spring,
And bids the grass appear : [hours,
The times and seasons, days and
Heav'n, earth, and air are thine ;
When clouds distil in fruitful show'rs,
The Author is divine.
2 The soften'd ridges of the field
Permit the corn to spring;
The valleys rich provision yield.
And all the lab'rers sing : [crowns :
The varying months thy goodness
How bounteous are thy ways: [downs
The bleating flocks spread o'er the
And shepherds shout thy praise.
182. Harvest.
To praise the ever-bounteous Lord,
My soul, wake all thy pow'rs ;
He calls, and at his voice come forth
The smiling harvest hours :
His cov'nant with the earth he keeps;
My tongue his goodness sing;
Summer and winter know their time,
The harvest crowns the spring.

We joyfully adore thee ;

Thy members here
Shall sing like those in glory.
We lift our hearts and voices
In blest anticipation ;
And cry aloud,
And give to God
The praise of our salvation.
2 Thou dost conduct thy people
Through deserts of temptation ;
Nor will we fear,
While thou art near,
The fire of tribulation.
The world, with sin and Satan,
In vain our march opposes ;
By Thee we shall
Break through them all,
And sing the song of Moses
4 Faith now beholds the glory
To which thou wilt restore us
Earth we despise
For that high prize
Which thou hast set before us
And if thou count us worthy,
We then, like dying Stephen
Shall see thee stand
At God's right hand,
To take us up to heaven.

When sorrow flows from eye to eye

191. Praise for a Revival.
1 Fount of everlasting love !
Rich thy streams of mercy are,
Flowing purely from above ;
Beauty marks their course afar.
2 Lo ! thy Church, thy garden now,
Blooms beneath the heav'nly show'r;
Sinners feel, and melt, and bow;
Mild, yet mighty is thy pow'r.
3 God of grace ! before thy throne,
Here our warmest thanks we bring;
Thine the glory, thine alone ;
Loudest praise to thee we sing.
4 Hear, O hear our grateful song;
Let thy Spirit still descend :
Roll the tide of grace along,
Wid'ning, deep'ning to the end.
182. Prayer for the Holy G-liost.
1 Holy Ghost, with light divine,
Shine upon this heart of mine;
Chase the shades of night away,
Turn the darkness into day. ;
2 Holy Ghost, with pow'r divine,
Cleanse this guilty heart of mine ;
Long has sin, without control,
Held dominion o'er my soul.
3 Holy Ghost, with light divine,
Dwell within his heart of mine ;
Cast down every idol throne,
Reign supreme, and reign alone.
193. Confession.
. 1 Sov'reign Ruler, Lord of all,
Prostrate at thy feet I fall ;
Hear, O hear my earnest cry,
Frown not, lest I faint and die.
\ Vilest of the sons of men,
Chief of sinners I have been;
Oft abus'd thee to thy face,
Trampled on thy richest grace.
3 Justly might thy vengeful dart
Pierce this bleeding, broken heart ;
Justly might thy angry breath
Blast me in eternal death.
4 But with thee there may be found
Balm to heal my every wound ;
Soothe,0 soothethetroubled breast
Give the weary wand'rer rest.
191. Resurrection.
1 Morning breaks upon the tomb,
Jesus scatters all its gloom ;
Day of triumph through the skies,
See the glorious Saviour rise !
2 Ye who are of death afraid,
Triumph in the scatter'd shade ;
Drive your anxious cares away :
See the place where Jesus lay.
3 Christian, dry your flowing tears,
Chase your unbelieving fears;
Look on his deserted grave ;
Doubt no more his pow'r to save.
195. Seeking a Messing onPiib"
lie Worsliip.
1 In thy presence we appear;
Lord, we lofe to worship here —
When within the veil we meet
Thee upon thy mercy seat.
2 While thy glorious name is sung,
Touch our lips, unloose our tongue,
Then our joyful souls shall bless
Thee, the Lord our righteousness.
3 While to thee our pray'rs ascend,
Let thine ear in love attend ;
Hear us, when thy Spirit pleads,
Hear, for Jesus intercedes.
4 While thy word is heard with awe,
And we tremble at thy law,
Let the gospel's wond'rous love
All our doubts and fears remove*

196* Destruction of Sodom*
1 Haste thee, sinner, haste away,
Vengeance is at hand !
From destruction quickly flee,
Flee at God's command ;
Nor more inquire.
Lo! the city's doom is seal'd;
Wrath from heav'n shall be reveal'd
In liquid lire !
2 Haste thee, sinner, haste away
From the o'erwhelining rain !
Break at once thy long delay,
Stay not in the plain!
In threatening form,
See the clouds above thy head,
All around their folds are spread,
O, flee the storm '
3 Haste thee, sinner, haste away,
Ere the tempest falls!
Now the warning voice obey,
While the Spirit calls :
For refuge fly ;
In the fate of Sodom see,
What may quickly come to thee :
Why wilt thou die!
4 Haste thee, sinner, haste away,
While 'tis mercy's hour ;
Harden not thy heart to-day,
Through the tempter's power ;
O, turn and live ;
Jesus is the hiding place,
Flee to him, and trust his grace ;
He will forgive.

19T. Breathing after the Spirit.
1 At anchor laid, remote from home,
To thee I cry, O Spirit, come,
Celestial breeze, no longer stay,
But swell my sails, and speed my
[way.
2 Fain would I feel the Spirit move
In breathings of celestial love ;
And while I spread my feeble sails,
O send thy gentle quick'ning gales.
198. Showers of Grace.
1 As in soft silence, vernal show'rs ;
Descend and cheer the fainting
flow'rs ;
So in the secresy of love,
Falls thesweetinflu'nce from above.
2 May we this heav'nly influence find
In holy silence of the mind,
And every grace maintain its bloom,
Diffusing wide the rich perfume:
3 And lands beneath the burning sky,
Which now are desolate and dry,
Ere long the blest effusions share,
And sudden green and herbage
[wear.
199. Smi of Righteousness.
1 O Sun of Righteousness, arise,
With gentle beams on Zion shine ;
Dispel the darkness from our eyes,
And souls awake to life divine.
2 On all around let grace descend,
Like heav'nly dew, or copious
show'r9,
That we may call our God our friend ;
That we may hail salvation ours.
200. The Eternal Sabbath.
[love ;
1 Thine earthly sabbaths, Lord, we
But there's a nobler rest above ;
To that our longing souls aspire,
With cheerful hope and strong de-
sire. . -^
2 No more fatigue, no more distress,
Nor sin nor death shall reach the
place ; [song?
No groans shall mingle with the
That warble from immortal tongues.
3 No rude alarms of raging foes ,
No cares to break the long repose ;
No midnight shade, no clouded sun,
But sacred, high, eternal noon.
[End with the first verse.]
201. For the Monthly Concert.
[pow'r,
1 Sov'reign of worlds ! display thy
Let this be Zion's favor'd hour;
O bid the morning Star arise ;
And point the heathen to the skies.
2 Set up thy throne where Satan
reigns, [plains ■
In western wilds, and heathen
Far letthe gospel's sound be known,
And make the universe thine own.
[voice •
2 Speak! and the world shall hear thy
Speak ! and the desert shall rejoice;
Scatter the gloom of heathen night,
Bid every nation hail the light.
202. Morning or evening Psalm.
1 3Iy God accept my early vows,
Like morning incense in thine house;
And let my nightly worship rise
Sweet as the evening sacrifice.
[Lord,
2 Watch o'er my lips, and guard them,
From ev'ry rash and heedless word;
Nor let my feet incline to tread
The guilty path where sinners lead.
3 O, may the righteous, when I stray,
Smite and reprove my wand'ring
way ! [shed,
Their gentle words, like ointment
Shall never bruise, but cheer my
[bead.
4 When I behold them prest with grief
I'll cry to heaven for their relief;
And by my warm petitions prove,
How much I prize their faithful love.

1 Watchmen! onward to your stations;
Blow the trumpet long and loud ;
Preach the gospel to the nations,
Speak to every gath'ring crow'd:
See ! the day is breaking ;
See ! the saints awaking,
No more in sadness bow'd.
2 Watchmen! -hail the rising glory
Of the great Messiah's reign;
Tell the Saviour's bleeding story,
Tell it to the list'ning train :
See his love revealing;
See the Spirit sealing ;
'Tis life amid the slain!
3 Watchmen! as the clouds are fiy»
As the doves in haste return, [ing,
Thousands from amid the dying,
Flee -to Christ, his love to learn :
All their sighs and sadness,
Turn to joy and gladness,
When they his grace discern.
4 Watchmen! now lift up your voices;
Tell the triumphs of your King,
While the ransom'd host rejoices ;
Sing alou«d his praises, sing :
See his arm victorious ;
See his kingdom glorious,
While heav'ns glad anthems ring.
FART SECOND.
[weeping
Watchmen ! when your friends are
When they bid the last adieu,
To your heav'nly Father's keeping,
Leave them in submission true ;
Kind is his protection ;
Safe by his direction,
Your onward course pursue.
Watchmen! cast no look behind you ,
While your foes are pressing hard,
Jesus shall himself defend you,
Zion's King shall be your guard:
What though hosts assail you,
Christ can never fail you
He is your great reward.
[ended ,
Watchmen ! when your toils are
When your conflicts all are o'er,
By celestial bands attended, [shore:
You shall reach the heav'nly
Crowns of joy await you,
While the hosts that hate you,
Perish evermore.

And let the scatter'd villages, the joyful notes prolong :
Let Kedar's wilderness afar, lift up the lonely voice :
And let the tenants of the rock, in accent rude rejoice.
2 O, from the streams of distant lands, unto Jehovah sing;
And joyful from the mountain tops, shout to the Lord, the King :
Let ali combined with one accord, the Saviour's glories raise,
Till in remotest bounds of earth, the nations sound his praise.
206. Iiattei" Day. Micali iv. 1— 5«
1 Behold the mountain of the Lord in latter days shall rise,
Shall tow'r above the meaner hills, and draw the wond'rin g eyes
To this the joyful nations round, and distant tribes shall flow ;
"Ascend the hill of God,'' they cry, and to his temple go.
2 The beams that shine on Zion's hill, shall lighten ev'ry land ,
The King that reigns in Zion's towr's, shall all the world command :
No strife shall vex Messiah's reign, or mar the peaceful years;
To ploughshares they shall be at their swords, to pruning hooks their spears.
3 No longer host encount'ring host, their millions slain deplore;
The arts of peace they cultivate, and study war no more :
Come then, O come from every land, to worship at his shrine;
And walking in the light of God, with holy bounty shine !
207. Trie Hotisg not made with Hands. 2 Cor. v. 1—5.
1 There is a house not made with hands, eternal in the skies;
And far beyond this scene of things, the fair possession lies:
Then let this earthly tenement dissolve in kindred dust;
My Saviour hath a place prspard. and be is all my trust.
2 For this inheritance I wait, within my house of clay,
Mid darkness and imprisonment, still languishing for day :
Nor naked would my soul appear, before my Father's face,
But " cloth'd upon" in righteousness, thro' my Redeemer's grace.

Bedecks the dewy east,
And when the sun reposes
Upon the ocean's breast;

O grant me thy salvation,
And to my soul draw near.
3 By thee, thro' life supported,
I pass the dang'rous road,
With heav'nly hosts escorted*
Up to their bright abode :
Then cast my crown before thee,
And all my coflicts o'er,
Unceasingly adore thee ;
What could an angel more.

I To thee, in youth'sbright morning,
Father of all, we pray ;
While thought and fancy dawning,
Lead on the rising day ;
To thee, in life's last even,
We 11 tune our feebler breath ;
Hear all our sins forgiven,
And softty sleep iu death.
2 When from death's sleep we w-akea,
No fears shall us surprise;
All earthly things forsaken,
What joys shall meet our eyes !
With rapture then increasing,
For ever we'll rejoice ;
And praises never-ceasing,
Shall wake eacli tuneful voice,

And as thy billows flow,

2 O thou, Etersal Ruler !

Wherever they may be ;
Tho' far from those who love them.

313. A Look from the Cross*
i 1 saw one hanging on a tree,
In agony and blood,
Who fix'd his languid eyes on me,
As near the cross 1 stood.
"2 Sure, never to 'ray latest breath
Can I forget that look; [death,
It seera'd to charge me with his
Though not a word he spoke.
3 Alas, I knew not what I did,
. But all my tears were vain;
Where could my trembling soul be
For I the Lord had slain. £hid,
4 A second look he gave, which said,
" 1 freely all forgive ;
This blood is for thy ransom paid ;
I die, that thou may's't live."
*j ** Thus While niy death, thy sin dis-
In all its blackest hue ; [plays
Such is the mystery of grace,
It seals thy pardon too !"
313. In Darkness*
1 Hear, gracious God, my humble
To thee I breathe my sighs ;[moan!
When will the mournful night be gone>
And when my joys arise ?
2 My God ! O could I make the claim,
My Father and my Friend,
And call thee mine, by every name
On which thy saints depend.
3 By evtrfy name, of pow'r and love,
I would thy grace eutreat;
Nor should my humble hopes remove,
Nor leave the sacred seat.
4 Yet, though my soul in darkness
Thy word is all my stay; [mourns,
Here I would rest till light returns.
Thy presence makes the day.
314* Prayer for qx\icJkeiiing
grace.
1 O for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heav'nly frame ;
And light to shine upon the road
That leads -me to the Lamb !
2 What peaceful hours I ouceenjoy'd;
How sweet their mem'ry still !
But they have left a cheerless void
The world can never fill.
3 Return, O holy Dove; return,
Sweet messenger of rest ;
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.
4 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne;
And worship only thee.
5 So shall my walk be close with God^
Calm and serene my frame ;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb.
215. Death of a yoxuig persona
1 When blooming youth is snatch'd
By death's resistless hand, [aWay
Our hearts the mournful tribute pay,
Which pity must demand.
2 While pity prompts the rising sigh,
O may this truth, imprest
With awful pow'r — " I too must die,"
Sink deep in every breast.
3 The voice of this alarming scene
May every heart obe* ;
Nor be the heav'nly warning vain,
Which calls to watch, and pray.
4 O let us fly, to Jesus fly,
Whose pow'rful arm can save .
Then shall our hopes ascend on high.
And triumph o'er the grave.

1 When all creation sings for joy,
Let praise our inmost thoughts emr
ploy:
While notes of harmony resound,
Let not our tongues be silent found,
Our hearts unmov'd.
2 Triumphant songs of praise we owe,
To him whose glories round us flow,
To him who bade our sorrows eease;
And fili'd our souls with heav'nly
peace,
So great his love.
3 He
guides our steps to living
streams, [deems?
Our wand'ring feet, his love re*
By day, he cheers us with his light,
And gives us sweet commune by
night,
So rich his grace.,
4 Let all that dwell below the sky,
Join in the angels' minstrelsy,
Till earth no more is dark with sin,
And heav'nly joys their course be-
No mpre to cease. [g«Q|

234. Hungering and Thirsting.
1 Wretched, helpless and distress'd
Ah whither shall I fly?
Ever panting after rest,
Where shall I turn mine eye ?
Naked, sjck, and poor, and blind,
Fast bound in sin and misery ;
Friend of sinners, let me find,
My help, my all iu thee.
2 Jesus, full of truth and grace,
Oh hear my sad complaint ;
Be the wand'rer's resting place,
A cordial for the faint:
Make me rich, for I am poor,
Let me now thy presence find;
To the dying, health restore,
And eyesight to the olind.
3 Fill my soul with heav'nly peace,
With pure humility ;
Clothe me with tby righteousness,
Endue my soul with thee :
Let thine image be restor'd,
Let me thy forgiveness prove,
Fill me with thy fulness, Lord,
For boundless is thy love.
335. Conviction of Sin,
1 Conscious of my ruin'd state,
Ah, whither shall I go;
All within is desolate,
While all without is woe :
If toheav'n I turn my eye,
There a frowning Judge appears;
If to Jesus then I cry,
No voice allays my fears.
2 Oft have I the Spirit griv'd,
So kindly sent to me ;
And that word have disbelieved
That would have set me free :
All the blessings God has given,
AH the warnings he has sent,
Have not led my soul to heav'n
Of caus'd me to repent.
3 Guilty soul, what wilt thou do ?
Polluted still thou art;
God is faithful, just and true,
But thou art vile in heart :
Yield thee now; no more repine,
Own the justice of tby doom;
To the Lord thyself resign,
And see — there yet is room.
326. Looking to Christ for
Pardon.
2 Saviour, Prince, enthron'd above
Repentance to impart,
Give me, through thy dying love,
The humble, contrite heart:
Teach me by thy gracious word,
My guilt and danger here to own,
Turn and look upon me, Lord,
And break my heart of stone,
2 See me, Saviour, from above,
Nor suffer me to die;
Life, and happiness, and love,
Beam from thy gracious eye*
Speak the reconciling word,
And thy melting love make known,
Turn and look upon me, Lord,
And break my heart of stone.
3 Look, as when thy languid ey%
Was clos'd that we might live— -
When thy supplicating cry
To God, was heard — " forgive":
Surely, with that dying word,
My Saviour turns and says 'tis
O, my bleeding,loving Lord, [done*
This breaks my heart of stone,
Doxology,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Eternal and divine, [host
Round whose throne the heav'nly
In endless anthems join :
Thine the glory and the power,
Thine the wisdom and the might;
Thine the praise for evermore,
O, God of life and light.

33T. Matt. xiii. 33.
Take heed, watch and pray ; for ye know not when
tlit liine is.
1 Go watch and pray, thou canst not
How near thine hour may be ; [tell
Thou canst not know how soon the
May toll its notes for thee : [bell
Death's countless snares beset thy
way ;
Frail child of dus( « **^__ «nu pray.
2 Fond youth, while free from blight-
ing care,
Does thy firm pulse beat high ?
Dohope's glad visions,bright and fair,
Dilate before thine eye 1 [away J
Soon these must change — must pass
Frail child ofdust! go watch and pray.
3 Thou aged man ! life's wintry storm
Hath sear'd thy vernal bloom ;
With trembling limbs and wasting
form,
Thou'rt bending o'er the tomb :
And can vain hope lead thee astray ?
Go, weary pilgrim ! watch and pray.
4 Ambition, stop thy panting breath!
Pride, sink thy lifted eye !
Behold the caverns dark with death,
Before you open lie :
The heav'nly warning now obey ;
Ye sons of pride, go watch and pray.
23S. Trust in God during tlie
hidings of his face.
1 O, let my trembling soul be still,
While darkness veils the sky;
And wait thy wise, thy holy will
Wrapp'd yet in mystery :
1 cannot, Lord, thy purpose see ;
But all is well — since rul'd by thee.
2 Thus trusting in thy love I tread
The path of duty on; [fled,
What tho' some cherish'd joys are
Some flatt'ring dreams are gone 1
Yet purer, brighter joys remain :
Why should my spirit then complain?
839. Prayer for Pardoning
Mercy.
1 Jesus, incarnate Son of God,
Now hear us from on high ;
Oh, seal our pardon by thy blood,
To thee, to thee We cry :
Our prostrate souls no merit claim ;
We plead thine all-prevailing name.
2 Thy law, so holy, just and good,
Wakens our guilt and fear;
And sin has risen like a flood,
To whelm us in despair :
Guilty we fall before thy throne,
Thou, Lord, artrighteous,thou alone.
3 Ruin'd, and all defil'd with sin.
Our souls would turn and live;
Lord, if thou wilt,now make us clean,
And all our sins forgive :
Thy righteousness,thy bleeding love,
Can ev'ry stain of guilt remove.
330. « It is the L.ord.
1 When I can trust my all with Godt
In trial's fearful hour,
Bow, all resign'd beneath his rod,
And bless his sparing power
A joy springs up amid distress,
A fountain in the wilderness.
2 Oh, to be brought to Jesus' feet,
Though trials fix me there,
Is still a privilege most sweet,
For he will hear my prayer:
Tho' sighs and tears its language be,
The Lord is nigh to answer me.
3 Oh ! blessed be the hand that gave,
Still blessed when it takes,
Blessed be he who smites to save,
Who heals the heart he breaks :
Perfect and true are all his ways,
Whom heav'n adores and death obeys

The" sinner " must be born again,"
Or sink to endless wo.
2 How did the law its thunders roll,
While guilt lay heavy on my soul,
A vast oppressive load !
All human aid 1 saw was vain;
The sinner " must be born again,"
Or drink the wrath of God.
3 I heard the saints with raptdre tell
How JesUs conquer'd death and
To bring salvation near : [hell,
Yet would the dreadful truth remain;
The sinner " must be born again,"
Or sink in black despair.
4 But while I thus in anguish lay,-
The bleeding Saviour pass'd that

My bondage to remove I
The sinner once by justice slain,
Now by his grace is born again,
And sings redeeming love*

Forth from the throne of God.
2 O, that my soul were fill'd with thee
With visions of thy majesty
And condescending love !
Then would its gilded pinions, Lord,
Be ready at the Master's wordt
To ia*e its flight above.

And for all my wants provide.

Wither all my earthly joys ;
Nought can charm me here below,
But my Saviour's melting voice.

Make me thine for evermore.

For the Spirit's quick'ning power j
Grateful notes to thee I raise,

1 O Lord,- another day is flown,
And we, a lonely band,
Are met once more before thy throne
To bless thy fost'riug hand.
And wilt thou bend a list'ning ear
To praises low as ours ?
Thou wilt, for thou dost love to hear
The song which meekness pours.
2 And, Jesus, thou thy smiles wilt
As we before thee pray; [deign,
For thou didst bless the infant train,
And we ai*e less than they.
Oh, let thy grace perform its part,
Let sin's dominion cease ;
And shed abroad in ev'ry heart
Thine everlasting peace.
242. Goodness of God.
1 The God of nature and of grace
In all his works appears, [trace,
His goodness through the earth we
His grandeur in the spheres,
Lift to the arch of heav'n your eye,
Thither his path pursue,
Hi3 glory, boundless as the sky,
O'erwhelms the wond'ring view.
2 He bows the heav'ns,the mouutains
A highway for their God; [stand
He walks amidst the desert land, —
'Tis Eden, where he trod.
In e\ -ry stream his bounty flows,
Ditlusing joy and wealth ;
In every breeze his Spirit blows
The breath of life and health.
3 The God of nature and of grace,
In ali his works appears; [trace
His goodness through the earth we
His grandeur in the spheres:
Ye nations bend, in rev'rence bend,
Ye monarch? wait his nod,
And bid the choral song ascend
To celebrate your God.
243. Wonders of Crod's love*
1 Ye humble souls approach your
With songs of sacred praise ; [God
For he is good, supremely good,
And kind are all his ways.
All nature owns his guardian care;
In him we live and move ;
But nobler benefits declare
The wonders of his love.
2 He gave his Son, his only Son,
To ransom rebel worms ; [known
'Tis here he makes his goodness
In its diviner forms.
To this dear refuge, Lord, we come,
'Tis here our hope relies :
A safe defence, a peaceful home,
When storms of trouble rise.
3 Thine eye beholds, with kind re-
The souls who trust in thee : [gard,
Their humble hope thou wilt reward
With bliss divinely free.
Great God! to thy Almighty love,
What honors shall we raise ?
Not all the raptur'd songs above,
Can render equal praise.

i* The harrest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not Bared." Jer. viii. SO.
1 When the harvest is past, aud the summer is gone; .
And sermons and prayers shall be o:er;
When the beams cease to break of the sweet Sabbath morn.
And Jesus invites thee no more ;
When the rich gales of mercy no longer shall blow,
Th*- - ispel no message declare ;
Sinner i- w canst thou bear the deep waitings of woe I
Hows..rrAr the night of despair !
2 When the h «^ have gone to the regions of peace,
To dwell h, e mansions above ;
When their harmony wakes in the fulness of bliss,
Their song to the Saviour they love ;
Say, O sinner, that livest at rest and secure,
Who fearest no trouble to come,
Oan thy spirit the swellings ofeorrow endure .
Or bear the impenitent's doom!

1 There's peace for him whose heart is all commotion *
The voice of Christ can calm the trout.ed sea:
Forsake thy sins and to the Saviour flee,
And smooth will be thy course o'er life's rough ocean.
2 There's hope for him whose soul is full of sadness;
With humble trust thy all to Jesus give ;
Resolve for him thou wilt begin to live,
Then on thy night shall rise the star of gladness.
3 There's life for thee; why longer still delaying ?
Oh haste to Jesus, while he waits to save ;
And wash thy soul beneath salvation's wave.
The sacred call of love at once obeying.

Divine Intercessor above;
Oh, where shall the song of thy praises begin.
Or how shall I speak of thy love :
Heaven is telling,
And earth is revealing
What wonders thy mercy can prove.
2 And do I not love thee, O Saviour, divine,
The chief of ten thousands to me ?
Yes, infinite beauty and glory are thine,
Whose effulgence no mortal can see :
AngeU shall bless thee,
And men shall confess thee,
All worlds shall acknowledge thy sway.
3 Thine, thine is the kingdom, the wisdom and power*
The glory and honor supreme ;
For ever and ever, my soul would adore
l Th' unspeakable worth of thy name;
For ever and ever
O glorious Saviour,
I'll dwell on the rapturous theme,
Poxology*
All honor and praise to the Father, the Son,
And Spirit, coequal, divine;
To the triune Jehovah, supreme on the throne*
Where glories ineffable shine :
Prostrate before thee,
Our spirits adore thee,
Eternal dominion he thine.

1 Come, Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove .
With all thy quickening pcw"s,
Kindle a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
2 In vain we tune our formal songs.
In vain we strive to rise ;
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.
3 Dear Lord! and shall we ever live
At this poor dying rate ?
Oar love so faint, so cold to thee,
And thine to us so great ?
4 Come. Holy Spirit, heav'nly Do% e,
With all thy quickening powers ;
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours.
£48. Behold I stand at tlie door
arid kucck.
1 And will the Lord thus condescend
To visit sinful worms ?
Thus at the door shall mercy stand
In all her winning forms ?
2 Shall Jesus for admittance plead,
His charming voice unheard?
And this vile heart for which he bled
Remain for ever barr'd ?
3 'Tis sin, alas, with tyrant pow'r,
The lodging has possess'd ;
And crowds of traitors bar the door
Against the heav'nly guest.
4 Ye vile seducers ! hence depart;
Dear Saviour, enter in ;
O, guard the passage to my heart,
And keep out ev'ry sin.
349. Penitence and Hope*
1 Dear Saviour, when my thoughts
recall
The wonders of thy grace,
How at thy feet asham"d 1 fall,
And hide this wretched face.
2 Oh. while I breathe to thee, my Lord,
The penitential sigh ;
Confirm the kind forgiving word
With pity in thine eye.
3 Then shall the mourner at thy feet
Rejoice to seek thy face ; Ls,;veet
And grateful own how kind, how
Thy condescending grace.
Lore to Christ desired.
1 Thou lovely source of true delight,
Whom I unseen adore,
Lnveilthy beauties to my sight,
That I may love thee more.
2 Thy glory o'er creation shines,
But in thy sacred word
I read in fairer, brighter lines
My bleeding, dying Lord.
3 'Tis here, whene'er my comforts
droop,
And sin and sorrow rise : [hope}
Thy love, with cheerful beams of
My fainting breast supplies.
4 But ah! too soon the pleasing seene
I? clouded o'er with pain ;
My gloomy fears rise dark between,
And I again complain.
5 Jesus, my Lord, my life my light,
O come with blissful ray ; [night,
Break radiant through the shades of
And chase my fears away.
6 Then shall my soul with rapture
The wonders of thy love ; [trace
But the full glories of thy face
Are only known above.

1 Weep not for the saint that ascends
1 To Jesus, the crown of my hope,
My soul is in haste to be gone,
Oh, bear me, ye cherubim up,
And waft me away to his throne.
2 My Saviour, whom absent I love,
Whom not having seen I adore,
Whose name is exalted above
All glory, dominion and pow'r :
3 Dissolve thou these bonds that de-
tain >
My soul from her portion in thee ;
O, strike off this adamant chain,
And make me eternally free.
4 When that happy era begins,
When array'din thy glories I shine,
Nor grieve any more by my sins
The bosom on which I recline :
5 O, then shall the veil be remov'd,
And round me thy brightness be
pour'd,
I shall meet him whom absent I lov'd,
\ Whom not having seen I ador'd.
To partake of the joys of the sky,
Weep not for the seraph that bends
With the worshipping chorus on
high.
2 Weep not for the spirit now crown'd
With the garland to martyrdom
giv'n,
O weep not for him, he has found
His reward and his refuge in heav'n.
3 But weep for their sorrows, who
stand
And lament o'er the dead by his
grave ; [land
Who sigh when they muse on the
Of their home, far away o'er the
wave —
4 And weep for the nations that dwell
Where the light of the truth never
shone ;
Where anthems of peace never swell,
And the love of the Lamb is un-
known.
266. YE SONS OF MEN.
Solo.
Ye sons of men, a feeble race, Expos'd to ev'ry snare;
Come, make the Lord your dwetling place, And trust his gracious care, And trust his gracious care.
2 No ill snail enter where you dwell,
Or if the plague come nigh
And sweep the wicked down to hell,
'Twill raise the saints on high.
2 He'll give his angels charge to keep
Your feet in all your ways,
To watch your pillow when you sleep
And guard your happy days.

The mountain was no hiding-place.

A bleeding Saviour then appear'd,
Led by the Spirit of his grace,

261, Fulness of Christ*
1 Bleeding hearts, defil'dby sin,
Jesus Christ can make you clean:
Contrite souls, with guilt opprest,
Jesus Christ can give you rest.
2 You that mourn o'er follies past,
Precious hours and years laid
waste ;
Turn to God, O turn and live,
Jesus Christ can still forgive.
3 You that oft have wander'd far
Prom the light of Bethl'em's star,
Trembling, now your steps retrace,
Jesus Christ is full of grace.
4 Souls benighted and forlorn,
Griev'd, afflicted, tempest-worn,
Now in Israel's Rock confide,
Jesus Christ for man has died.
5 Fainting souls, in peril's hour,
Yield not to the tempter's pow'r ;
On the risen Lord rely,
Jesus Christ now reigns on high.
262. Christian Union and Lio ve.
1 Jesus, Lord, we look to thee,
Let us in thy name agree,
Show thyself the Prince of peace,
Bid our jars for ever cease.
2 Make us of one heart and mind,
Courteous, pitiful, and kind,
Lowly, meek, in thought and word,
Wholly like our blessed Lord.
3 Let us each for other care.
Each his brother's burdens bear;
To thy church the pattern give,
Show how true believers live,
4 Let us then, with joy, remove
To thy family above ;
On the wings of eagles fly,
Show how true believers die.
363. The Good Shepherd.
1 Tell me, Shepherd, from above,
Dearest object of my love,
Where thy little flocks abide,
Shelter'd by thy bleeding side.
2 Tell me. Saviour all divine,
Where i may my soul recline ;
Where I shall for refuge fly,
When the burning sun is high.
3 Claim me, Shepherd, as thine own,
O protect me, thou alone;
Let me hear thy gracious voice ;
Make my fainting heart rejoice.
264. Light Divine*
1 Light Divine, Immanuel !
Evermore within me dwell:
Now arise and cheer my soul;
Make the wounded spirit whole.
2 Light Divine, my Saviour, God!
Seal my pardon with thy blood;
All my load of guilt remove;
Fill me with thy boundless love.
Doxology.
Sing we to our God above,
Praise eternal as his love :
Praise him, all ye heav'nly host,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

Call his love to mind.

But for ever kind ;

With the sun return.
266. Trust in God.
1 God of our salvation,
Unto thee we pray;
Hear our supplication,
Be our strength and stay;
Wretched and unworthy,
Poor, and sick, and blind,
Prostrate we adore thee,
Call thy grace to mind.
2 He thatdwelleth near thee
Safely shall abide ;
Ever love and fear thee,
In thy strength confide :
Sure is thy protection,
Safe is thy defence,
While in deep affliction,
Woe or pestilence.
3 God of our salvation,
Saviour, Prince of peace,
Boundless thy compassion,
Infinite thy grace:
While with love unceasing,
Humbly we adore,
Grant us thy rich blessing,
And we ask no more.
$367. Lore to God*
1 Lord of life and glory,
Infinite in power,
Standing now before thee,
Trembling we adore :
Angels shout thy praises
Through the realms above,
While each song that rises,
Tells that God is love.
2 Author, of creation,
When thy work was done,
Shouts of exultation
Echo'd round thy throne :
Morning stars were ringing
Through the vault above,
Sons of God were singing
Of thy pow'r and love.
3 Author of salvation,
When our sinful race,
Sunk in desolation,
Fell in death's embrace,
Then thy love hung bleeding,
On the cross to die !
Love, still interceding,
Fills thy courts on high.
168* Consolation*
1 Why that look of sadness ?
Why that downcast eye ?
Can no thought of gladness
Lift thy soul on high ?
O, thou heir of heaven,
Think of Jesus' love,
While to thee is given,
All his grace to prove.
2 Is thy burden'd spirit
Agoniz'd for sin?
Think of Jesus' merit;
He can make thee clean :
Think of Calv'ry's mountain
Where his blood was spilt,
In that precious fountain,
Wash away thy guilt.
3 Is thy spirit drooping 7
Is the tempter near ?
Still in Jesus hoping,
What hast thou to fear?
Set the prize before thee,
Gird thy armor on :
Heir of grace and glory,
Struggle foi thy crown.

1 Rich from the river of life, flow the streams of salvation;
Free as the heams of the sun, is the wide invitation:
Whoso will come, shall receive
Joys that no mortal can give.
2 Mercy is ready, its mantle of love to spread o'er yon ;
Grace hath to-day laid the feast of the gospel before you
God keeps your life from the grave,
Waiting your spirit to save.
3 O, then, ye wand'rers ! repent and return to the Saviour;
Gladly accept the rich offers of kindness and favor;
Who will the Spirit obey ?
Who will seek Jesus to day ?
270* Solomon's Songs, i. 79 8*
"Tell me, O tboti whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest et
nocn ; for why should i be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions ?
If thou know not, O thou fairesi among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and
feed thy kids beside the shepherde' tents."
1 Tell me, thou Shepherd, O, tell me, while wounded and bleeding,
Tell me the place where the flock of thy chosen is feeding,
O, thou delight of my soul,
Now bid the wounded be whole.
2 Why should I range with the flocks of thy foes that are straying,
Fields of enchantment, and dangers, and deserts betraying"
Shepherd, to thee - ould I come,
O, bring the wanderer home.

And shed the sweet serene of true devotion:

The heart, with sorrow swelling,
Pours out its griefs — its tale of anguish telling ;
And mercy wipes each trickling tear,

272. Aspiring after Heaven.
1 From ev'ry earthly pleasure,
From ev'ry transient joy,
From ev'ry mortal treasure
That soon will fade and die :
No longer these desiring,
Upward our wishes tend,
To nobler bliss aspiring,
And joys that never end.
2 From ev'ry piercing sorrow
That heaves our breast to-day,
Or threatens us to-morrow —
Hope turns our eyes away;
On wings of faith ascending,
We see the land of light;
And feel our sorrows ending
In infinite delight.
3 'Tis true we are but strangers
And sojourners below ;
And countless snares and dangers
Surround the path we go ;
Though painful and distressing,
There is a rest above,
And onward we are pressing
To reach that land of love.
273. For a Christian Marriage.
L The joyful scene before us
Demands a thankful song,
While angels hov'ring o'er us,
May mingle in the throng :
How lovely, how resplendent
Must those bright regions be,
Where now they shine transcendent
Jn heavenly parity !
17*
2 The joyful scene before us,
How faint a type of heav'n,
Where now th' angelic chorus
Breathe soft as dews of ev'n;
Anon with rapture swelling,
Their loudest anthems raise,
While love, each bosom filling,
Pours forth its notes of praise !
3 The joyful scene before us
This heav'nly aspect wears,
If Jesus but restore us,
The image that he bears:
Thou heav'nly Bridegroom hear us,
While fervently we pray
And be thou ever near us,
In life's bewild'ring way.
4 The joyful scene before us
Shall bring no blighting cares
No perils to devour us,
If Jesus' love appears:
Then shall the happy union,
This evening we behold,
Be like that blest communion
Which tunes the harps of gold.
Doxology*
To Father, Son, and Spirit,
Eternal praise be giv'n,
By all that earth inherit,
And all that dwell in heav'n:
Thou triune God ! before thee,
Our inmost souls adore :
Who art and hast been worthy,
And shalt be evermore.

2 Cease, my friends, to weep forme,
Let me rather mourn for you;
Far from sin and woe I flee,
Christ and heav'n are in my view :
Dare not wish my soul to stay,
Angels beckon me away.

Earthly blessings I resign ;
Lord, to thee I yield my breath,
Take this ransom'd soul of mine,
And my songs of joy shall be
Ceaseless as eternity.

To see Him face to face,

From earth-born woe and care ;
And soar beyond those realms of
My Saviour's bliss to share, [night

385. Coiwietion of Sin.
1 Why sinks my soul, desponding 1
Why fill my eyes with tears ?
While nature all surrounding,
The smile of beauty wears.
Why burden'd still with sorrow
Is ev'ry lab' ring thought 1
Each vision that I borrow
With gloom and sadness fraught'
2 The pleasures that -deceived me,
My soul no more can charm ;
Of rest they have bereavM me,
And fill'd me with alarm;
The objects I have cherish'd
Are empty as the wind;
My earthly joys are perish'd,
What comfort shall I find 1
3 If in ward still inquiring
I turn my searching eye,
Or upward now aspiring,
I raise my feeble cry,
No heaVnly light is beaming
To cheer my troubled breast,
No ray of comfort gleaming
To give my spirit rest.
4 My soul, from this dread anguish
Is there no refuge nigh ?
'Tis guilt that makes thee languish,
And leaves thee thus to die :
Renounce thy sin and folly
Before the throne of grace,
And make the Lord, most holy,
Thy strength and righteousness.
286. Scene of tlie Cross.
1 O, Sacred Head, now Wounded
With grief and pain weigh'd
How scornfully surrounded [down.
With thorns, thy only crown ;
O, Sacred Head, what glory,
What bliss till now was thine
Yet, though despis'd and gory,
I joy to call thee mine.
2 How art thou pale with anguish,
With sore abuse and scorn \
How does that visage languish
Which once was bright as mora
Thy grief and thy compassion1
Were, all for sinners' gain ;
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But thine the deadly pain.
3 What language shall I borrow
To praise thee, heav'nly Friendj
For this, thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end !
Lord, make me thine for ever,
Nor let me faithless prove ;
O let me never, never
Abuse such dying love.
4 Forbid that I should leave thee ;
O Jesus, leave not me;
By faith, I would receive thee ;
Thy blood can make me free;
When strength and comfort lan-
And I must hence depart; [guish,
Release me then from anguish,
Bv thine own wounded heart.

287. Prayer for a Revival.
1 O Lord, thy work revive,
In Zion's gloomy hour,
And let our dying graces live
By thy restoring power.
2 O, let thy chosen few
Awake to earnest prayer;
Their covenant again renew,
And walk in filial fear.
3 Thy Spirit then will speak
Through lips of humble clay,
Till hearts of adamant shall break,
Till rebels shall obey.
4 Now lend thy gracious ear;
Now listen to our cry ;
O, come and bring salvation near;
Our souls on thee rely.
288* Prayer for sanctification
of Children*
1 O God of Abra'm, hear
The parents' humble cry;
In cov'nant mercy now appear,
While in the dust we lie.
2 These children of our love,
In mercy thou hast giv'n, [prove
That we thro' grace may faithful
In training them for heav'n.
3 O, grant thy Spirit, Lord,
Their hearts to sanctify ;
Remember now thy gracious word,
Our hopes on thee rely.
4 Draw forth the melting tear,
The penitential sigh ; [cere,
Inspire their hearts with faith sin-
And fix their hopes on high.
5 These children now are thine,
We give them back to thee;
0 lead them by thy grace divine
Along the heav'nly way.
389. Preparation for the Judg-
ment*
1 How will the soul endure
The terrors of that day, [Judge,
When earth and heav'n, before the
Astenish'd, flee away !
2 But ere that trumpet shakes
The mansions of the dead, [sound
Hark! from the gospel's cheering
What joyful tidings spread !
3 Ye sinners, seek his grace;
His wrath ye cannot bear ;
Fly to the shelter of the cross,
And find salvation there.
4 So shall that curse remove,
By which the Saviour bled ;
And the last awful day shall pour
His blessings on your head.
390. * What shan I do V
1 My former hopes are fled,
My terror now begins ,
My guilty soul, alas, is " dead
In trespasses and sins."
1 Ah, whither shall I fly,
Or seek for mercy's door?
The law proclaim's destruction nigh
And justice arm'd with pow'r.
3 When I review my ways,
1 dread th' impending doom ;
While yet some friendly whisper says
"Flee from the wrath to come.''
4 O that I now might see
Some glimm'ring from afar,
Some beam of hope to dawn on me,
And save me from despair.

391. The Iiord is risen*
1 How calm and beautiful the morn
That gilds the sacred tomb,
Where once the Crucifi'd was borne,
And veil'd in midnight gloom !
O, weep no more, the Saviour slain;
The Lord is ris'n — he lives again.
2 Ye mourning saints, dry every tear
For your departed Lord,
" Behold the place — he is not here,"
The tomb is all unbarr'd :
The gates of death were clos'd in vain,
The Lord is ris'n — he lives again.
3 Now cheerful to the house of pray'r
Your early footsteps bend
The Saviour will himself be there,
Your Advocate and Friend :
Once by the law your hopes were
slain,
But now in Christ ye live again.
4 How tranquil now the rising day,
'Tis Jesus still appears,
A risen Lord to chase away
Your unbelieving fears :
O, weep no more your comforts slain,
The Lord is ris'n — he lives again.
5 And when the shades of evening
fall,
When life's last hour draws nigQ,
If Jesus shine upon the soul,
How blissful then to die :
Since He has ris'n that once was slain
Ye die in Christ to live again.
393. The great Change.
1 Say, dost thou mark that beaming
«ye,
That countenance serene;
That smile of hope, and love, and joy,
Where gloom so late has been ?
More beautiful that sight appears
Than all the charms that nature wears.
2 And dost thou mark that temper
mild,
That image pure, of heav'n?
That soul subdu'd and reconcil'd,
Which once with hate was riv'n?
Sure, nothing earthly can impart
Such meltings to a stubborn heart.
3 O.glorious cnange! 'tis all of grace.
By bleeding love bestow'd
On outcasts of a fallen race,
To bring them heme to God ;
Infinite grace to vileness giv'n,
The sons of earth made heirs of
hea'vn.

Pour their plenty o'er thy plain,
Grateful.thou shalt take the blessing,

Own the bounteous hand bestowing,
But thy vines the poor shall gleaa.

30:2. Morning Prayer Meeting*
1 How sweet the melting lay,
Which breaks upon the ear;
When at the hour of rising day
Christians unite in prayer.
2 The breezes waft their cries
Up to Jehovah's throne ;
He listens to their bursting sighs,
And sends his blessings down.
3 So Jesus rose to pray,
Before the morning light ;
Once on the chilling mount did stay
And wrestle all the night.
A Glory to God on high
Who sends his blessings down,
To rescue souls condemn'd to die,
And makes his people one.
303. Prayer for all lands.
1 O Lord of sovereign grace,
We bow before thy throne ;
And plead for all the human race,
The merits of thy Son.
2 Spread through the earth, O Lord,
The knowledge of thy ways ;
And let all lands with joy record,
The great Redeemer's praise.
304:* Forgiveness*
1 O blessed souls are they
Whose sins are cover' d o'er!
Divinely blest, to whom the Lord
Imputes their guilt no more !
2 They mourn their follies past,
And keep their hearts with care ;
Their lips andlives,without deceit,
Shall prove their faith sincere.
3 While I conceal'd my guilt,
I felt the festering wound ;
Till I confess'd my sins to thee,
And ready pardon foundt
4 Let sinners learn to pray,
Let saints keep near the throne ,
Our help in times of deep distress
Is found in God alone.
305. Christian Fellowship*
1 Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love ;
The fellowship of kindred minds,
Is like to that above.
2 Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers ;
Our fears, our hopes.our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
3 We share our mutual woes ;
Our mutual burdens bear ;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4 When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be join'd in heart,
And hope to meet again.
5 This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way;
While each in expectation lives,
And longs to see the day.
6 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
And sin, we shall be free;
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.
306* Psalm cxvii.
\ Thy name, almighty Lord,
Shall sound through distant lands
Great is thy grace, and sure thy word
Thy truth for ever stands,
2 Far be thine honor spread,
And long thy praise endure,
Till morning light and evening shade
Shall be exchang'd no more,

307* Psalm cxvi.
1 What shall I render to my God,
For all his kindness shown ?
My feet shall visit thine abode,
My songs address thy throne.
2 Among the saints that fill thy house
My offerings shall be paid ;
There shall my zeal perform the vows
My soul in anguish made.
S How much is mercy thy delight,
Thou ever blessed God!
How dear thy servants in thy sight!
How precious is their blood !
4 How happy all thy servants are !
How great thy grace to me ! [care,
My life, which thou hast made thy
Lord, I devote to thee.
5 Now I am thine, for ever thine,
Nor shall my purpose move ; [pain,
Thy hand hath loos'd my bonds of
And bound me with thy love.
308* Scriptural Instruction*
1 How shall the young secure their
hearts,
And guard their lives from sin ?
Thy word the choicest rules imparts
To keep the conscience clean.
2 When once it enters to the mind,
It spreads such light abroad,
The meanest souls instruction find,
And raise their thoughts to God.
3 'Tis like the sun, a heavenly light,
That guides us all the day ;
And through the dangers of the night
A lamp to lead our way.
4 Thy precepts make me truly wise;
I hate the sinner's road ;
I hate my own vain thoughts that rise.
But love thy la\* , »y God.
309* Prayerrh«ard. Psalm eii.
1 Let Zion and her sons rejoice
Behold the promis'd hour! [voice,
Her God hath heard her mourning
And comes t' exalt his power.
2 The Lord will raise Jerusalem,
And stand in glory there :
Nations shall bow before his name,
And kings attend with fear.
3 He sits a sovereign on his throne,
With pity in his eyes :
He hears the dying prisoners groan,
And sees their sighs arise.
4 He frees the soul, condemn'd to
death ;
And when his saints complain,
It shan't be said ' that praying breath
Was ever spent in vain.'
5 This shall be known when we are
And left on long record, [dead,
That ages yet unborn may read,
And trust and praise the Lord.
310* House of God* Ps* lxxxtva
1 My soul, how lovely is the place,
To which thy God resorts !
'Tis heaven to see his smiling face,
Though in his earthly courts.
2 There the great Monarch of the
His saving power displays; [skies,
And light breaks in upon our eyes,
With kind and quick'ning rays.
3 With his rich gifts the heavenly
Descends and fills the place ; [Dove
While Christ reveals his wond'rous
And sheds abroad his grace, [love,
4 There, mighty God, thy words de-
The secrets of thy willj [clare
And still we seek thy mercy there,
And sing thy praises still.

311* Praise. Ps. civi.
1 I'll praise my Maker with my breath;
And when my voice is lost in death,
Praise shall employ my nobler pow'rs
My days of praise shall ne'er be past,
While life,and thought,and being last,
Or immortality endures.
2 Why should I make a man my
trust ?
Princes must die and turn to dust ;
Vain is the help of flesh and blood ;
Their" breath departs; their pomp
and power,
And thoughts all vanish in an hour,
Nor can they make their promise
good.
3 Happy the man whose hopes rely
On Israel's God ; he made the sky,
And earth, and seas, with all their
train ;
His truth for ever stands secure ;
He saves th' opprest, he feeds the
poor, [vain.
And none shall find his promise
4 The Lord hath eyes to give the
blind ;
The Lord supports the sinking mind :
He sends the laboring conscience
peace,
He helps the stranger in distress,
The widow and the fatherless, [lease.
And grants the prisoner sweet re-
313. Man Mortal. Pg. xc.
1 Think, mighty God, on feeble man ;
How tew his hours, how short his
span!
Short from the cradle to the grave:
Who can secure his vital breath
Against the bold demand of death,
With skill to fly or power to save ?
2 Lord, shall it be for ever said,
" The race of man was only nade
"For sickness, sorrow, and the
dust?"
Are not thy servants day by day
Sent to their graves, and turn'd to
clay? [just?
Lord, where's thy kindness to the
3 Hast thou not promis' d to thy Son,
And all his seed a heavenly crown ?
But flesh and sense indulge
despair :
For ever blessed be the Lord,
That faith can read his Holy Word,
And find a resurrection there.
4 For ever blessed be the Lord,
Who gives his saints a long reward,
For all their toil, reproach and pain;
Let all below and all above,
Join to proclaim thy wondrous love,
And each repeat a loud Amen.
313. The Bible. Ps. xix.
1 I love the volumes of thy word ;
What light and joy those leaves afford
To souls benighted and distrestl
Thy precepts guide my doubtful way,
Thy fear forbids my feet to stray,
Thy promise leads my heart to rest,
2 From the discov'ries of thy law
The perfect rules of life I draw :
These are my study and delight;
Not honey so invites the taste,
Nor gold that hath the furnace past,
Appears so pleasing to the sight.
3 Thy threat'nings wake my slumb-
'ring eyes,
And warn me where my danger lies,
But 'tis thy blessed Gospel, Lord,
That makes my guilty conscience
clean,
Converts my soul, subdues my sin,
And gives a free, but large reward

And mournful days be giv'n,
And lonely though on earth thou art,
Yet bliss awaits the holy heart,
When friends rejoice in heav'n.

Where storms arise and ocean rolls,

To brighter prospects giv'n;
And views the tempest passing by,
The evening shadows quickly fly,
And all serene — in heav'n.

And joys supreme are giv'n ;[bloom
There rays divine disperse the gloom:
Bevond the confines of the tomb,
Appears the dawn of heav'n.

2 The sparrow for her youug,
With pleasure seeks a nest ;
And wandering swallows long
To find their wonted rest :
My spirit faints
With equal zeal,
To rise and dwell
Among thy saints.
3 O happy souls, that pray
Where God appoints to hear !
O happy men, that pay
Their constant service there !
They praise thee still;
And happy they
That love the way
To Zion's hill.

Psalm cxxi.
1 Cpward I lift mine eyes
From God is all my aid ;
The God that built the skies,
And earth and nature made :
God is the tower,
To which I fly ;
His grace is nigh
In every hour.
2 My feet shall never slide,
Nor fall in fatal snares,
Since God my guard and guide,
Defends me from my fears.
Those wakeful eyes
That never sleep,
Shall Israel keep
When dangers rise.
3 No burning heats by day,
Nor blasts of evening air
Shall take my health away,
If God be with me there :
Thou art my sun,
And thou my shade,
To guard my head
By night or noon.
4 Hast thou not given thy word
To save my soul from death 1
And I can trust my Lord
To keep my mortal breath.
I'll go and come,
Nor fear to die,
Till from on high
Thou call me home.

1 Thou art gone to the grave ; but we will not deplore thee,
Though sorrows and darkness encompass the tomb ;
The Saviour hath pass'd through its portals before thee,
And the lamp of his love is thy guide through the gloom.
2 Thou art gone to the grave — we no longer behold thee,
Nor tread the rough paths of the world by thy side ;
But the wide arms of mercy are spread to enfold thee,
And sinners may hope, since the Saviour hath died.
S Thou art gone to the grave ; and its mansion forsaking,
Perchance thy weak spirit in doubt linger'd long;
But the sunshine of heaven beam'd hright on thy waking,
And the sound thou didst hear was the seraphim's song.
4 Thuu art gone to the grave — but we will not deplore thee,
Since God was thy Ransom, thy Guardian, thy Guide;
He gave thee, he took thee, and he will restore thee,
And death has no sting, since the Saviour has died.

321* Promise of the Spirit*
1 O thou that hearest pray'r,
Attend our humble cry ;
And let thy servants share,
Thy blessings from on high :
We plead the promise of thy word,
Grant us thy Holy Spirit, Lord.
2 If earthly parents hear
Their children when they cry;
If they with love sincere
Their children's wants supply;
Much more wilt thou thy love dis-
play,
And answer when thy children pray.
3 Our Heavenly Father — thou,
We— children of thy grace ;
O, let thy Spirit now
Descend and fill the place :
So shall we feel the heav'nly flame,
And all unite to praise thy name.
333. Prayer for comfort,
1 Where is my Saviour now,
Whose smiles I once possess'd ?
Till he return, I bow
By heaviest griefs oppress'd,
My days of happiness are gone,
And I am left to weep alone.
2 Where can the mourner go
And tell his tale of grief ?
Ah I who can soothe his woe,
And give him sweet relief?
Earth cannot heal the wounded breast
Nor give the troubled sinner rest.
3 Jesus, thy smiles impart ;
My dearest Lord, return ;
And ease my wounded heart,
And bid me cease to mourn :
Then shall the night of sorrow flee,
"\ And peace and heav'n be found in
thee.
333* Submission to God.
1 Before thy awful throne
Now, Lord, in dust we lie ;
And all our guilt bemoan
In tears of agony :
Thy law is right
That sends the soul
To weep and howl
In endless night.
2 For sinners didst thou die,
To ransom them from woe ?
They rais'd their hands on high,
They gave the deadly blow :
Ours is that stain :
Christ for our guilt,
His blood has spilt,
By sinners slain.
3 And can he still forgive ?
May rebels hear his voice,
Repenting, turn and live,
And taste of heavenly joys?
Our souls shall bow,
Our hearts shall break,
Our tongues shall speak,
Our tears shall flow*
4 O Lord, we will believe;
Apply thy pard'ning blood;
Our guilty souls receive,
And wash them in that flood :
We will be thine
This blessed hour,
And evermore
Our souls resign.

1 I would not live always, I ask not to stay,
Where storm after storm rises dark o'er the way,
The few lucid moments that dawn on us here,
Are foilow'd by gloom and beclouded with fear.
Jwould not live always; no, blest is the tomb,
-Since Jesus has died, I will welcome its gloom :
There sweet be my rest, till he bid me arise,
To hail him in triumph, descending the skies.
2 I would not live always, remote from my God,
An exile from heaven, that blissful abode ;
Where rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains,
And the noontide of glory eternally reigns:
There saints of all ages in harmony sweet,
Their Saviour and Brother transported to greet ;
While anthems of rapture unceasingly roll,
And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul.

330* Psalm xxvii.
1 God is my strong salvation,
What foe have I to fear ?
Id darkness and temptation,
My light, my help is near:
Though hosts encamp around me,
Firm to the fight. I stand ;
What terror can confound me,
With God at my right hand.
2 Place on the Lord reliance,
My soul with courage wait j
His truth be thine affiance,
When faint and desolate ;
His might,thine heart shall strengthen
His love, thy joy increase;
Mercy thy days shall lengthen,
The Lord will give thee peace.
331* God our Refuge. Ps. xlvi.
1 O God of our salvation,
Our refuge in distress,
Our strength and consolation,
Secure us by thy grace :
While in thy peace abiding,
While thou thyself art near
In thy strong arm confiding,
We shall not yield to fear.
2 Though earth were in commotion,
Though mountains high were cast
Into the depths of ocean,
Amid the stormy blast ;
The billows loud and raging,
In vain their foam would pour;
Thy voice, the wrath assuaging
Would still the tempest's roar.
3 There is a peaceful river,
Descending from on high,
Whose streams are pure for ever,
Whose waters cannot dry :
No waves of tribulation
Disturb their gladd'ning course ;
The Rock of our salvation,
Is the unfailing Source.
4 God in the midst is dwelling;
Mount Zion shall not move :
Her streams of grace are swelling,
A tide of boundless love ;
Her foes so late conspiring,
Tumultuous in noise,
Like angry waves retiring,
Have melted at his voice.
5 The Lord of hosts is with us,
The God of Jacob near;
With his strong arm beneath us,
Our souls shall never fear
Our refuge is most glorious!
Be still ; for he is God !
His cause shall be victorious,
Earth trembles at his nod.
339* Sabbath School Celebra-
tion.
1 While India's sons and daughters,
Their idol gods adore ;
And Ganges sacred waters
Are stain'd with human gore •
While darkness, sin, and folly,
The heathen world ensnare ;
Thy name, OLord, most holy,
Shall Chiistian lands declare.
2 We tune our feeble praises
To Him who rules the earth,
For all the light that blazes
Around our plaee of birth :
This day its waving banner
The Sahbath School displays:
Young children shout hosanna,
And infants sing bis praise.

\ The sound of salvation is echo'd afar;
The breezes have borne the glad tidings abroad ;
The light that is beaming from Bethlehem's Star,
Is chasing the darkness from sorrow's abode :
The wastes of the desert in verdure appear,
With rich blooming fragrance perfuming the air;
The mountains are sinking, the vallies arise,
And earth is becoming the joy of the skies.
2 The sound of salvation is echo'd afar ;
The heralds aloud the glad mission proclaim ;
The sons of redemption now waken to pray'r,
And millions rejoice in Immanuel's name :
O tremble, ye fugitives, monsters of sin!
Ye demons of darkness, ye foul and unclean!
Ye soon shall descend to your destin'd abode,
While earth shall rejoiee in the smiles of her God.
3 The sound of salvation is echo'd afar,
And converts outnumber the drops of the morn;
Loud songs of rejoicing are borne through the air,
From regions long wasted, despised and forlorn ;
Now millions of heathen receive the glad word.
The outcasts of Israel return to the Lord,
The earth and the sea shall be cleans'd from their stgin.
And Jesus, triumphant, begin his glad reign.

And all my midnight hours defend.

With gloomy horrors overspread,
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill,
For thou, O Lord, art with me still :
Thy friendly hand shall give me aid,

Thro' devious, lonely wilds I stray,
Thy bounty shall my pains beguile ;

With sudden greens and herbage

And streams shall murmur all around-

More full of grace than I of sin,
Yet once again I seek thy face.
Open thine arms and take me in.
O! freely my backslidings heal,
And love the dying sinner still.
3 Give to my eyes refreshing tears,
And kindle my relentings now,
Fill all my soul with filial fears
To thy sweet yoke my spirit bow
Bend by thy grace, O bend, or break
The iron sinew in my neck,
4 Ah ! give me, Lord, the tender

That trembles at th' approach of
A Godly fear of sin impart,
Implant and root it deep within,
That I may dread thy fearful pow'r,
And never dare offend thee more.

1 Lord, what a feeble piece
Is this our mortal frame ?
Our life, how poor a trifle 'tis,
That scarce deserves the name i
2 Alas, the brittle clay,
That built our body first !
And every month and every day
'Tis mouldering back to dust.
3 Our moments fly apace,
And time will ne'er delay ;
• From the " Ch«ir,'
Just like a flood our hasty day*
Are sweeping us away.
Well, if our days must fly,
We'll keep their end in sight.
We'll spend them all in wisdom's
way,
And let them speed their flight.
They'll waft us sooner o'er
This life's tempestuous sea;
Soon we shall reach the peaceful
Of blest eternity. [chore

Scarce we lift our streaming eyes ;
Q, by all thy pains and wo,
Suffer' d once for man below,
Bending from thy throne on high,
Hear our solemn litany.
2 By thy birth and early years,
By thy human griefs and fears,
By thy fasting and distress
In the lonely wilderness
By thy vict'ry in the hour
1 Of the subtle tempter's pow'r;
Jesus, look with pitying eye :
Hear our solemn litany.
3 By thine hour of dark despair,
By thine agony of prayerr
By the purple robe of scorn,
By thy wounds — thy crown of thorns;
By thy cross — thy pangs and cries;
By thy perfect sacrifice ;
Jesus, look with pitying eye ;
Hear our solemn litany.
4 By thy deep expiring groan,
By the seal'd sepulchral stone,
By thy triumph o'er the grave,
By thy pow'r from death to save,
Mighty God, ascended Lord,
To thy throne in heaven restor'd
Prince and Saviour, hear our cry,
Hear our solemn litany.

To the Father, to the Son,
To the Spirit, Three in One, [love,
Round whose throne of boundless
All the hosts celestial move;
Blessing, honor, glory, pow'r,

Till thy mercy's beams T see,

Pierce the gloom of sin and grief,
Fill me, radiant Sun divine,
Scatter all my unbelief

Take the peace the Gospel brings.

1 O, 'tis sweet to mingle, where
Christians meet for social prayer ;
O 'tis sweet, with them to raise,
Songs of holy joy and praise ;
Then how blest that state must be
Where they meet eternally.
2 Saviour, let these meetings prove
Scenes of fervent Christian love ;
While we worship in this place,
May we go from grace to grace ;
Till we, each in his degree,
Fit for endless glory be.

from enemies.
1 My God, preserve my soul ;
O, make my spirit whole !
To save me let thy strength appear;
Strangers my steps surround ;
Their pride and rage confound,
And bring thy great salvation near.
2 Those that against me rise,
Are aliens from the skies ; [Lord,
They hate thy church and kingdom,
They moek thy fearful name;
They glory in their shame,
Nor heed the wonders of thy word.
3 But, O thou King divine,
My chosen friends are thine ;
The men that still my soul sustain;
Wilt thou my foes subdue,
And form their hearts anew,
And snatch them from eternal pain,
4 Escap'd from every woe,
0 grant me here below, [love ;
To praise thy name, with those I
And when beyond the skies
Our souls unbodied rise,
Unite us in the realms above.
347* « The Lord reigns."
1 The Lord Jehovah reigns,
And royal state maintains,
His head with awful glories erown'd;
Array'd in robes of light,
Begirt with sovereign might,
And rays of majesty around-
3 Upheld by thy commands,
The world securely stands,
And skies and stars obey thy word :
Thy throne was fix'd on high,
Before the starry sky :
Eternal is thy kingdom, Lord.
3 In vain the noisy crowd,
Like billows fierce and loud,
Against thine empire rage and roar:
In vain with angry spite
The surly nations fight,
And dash like waves against the shore.
I Let floods and nations rage,
And all their powers engage,
Let swelling tides assault the sky :
The terrors of thy frown
Shall beat their madness down :
Thy throne for ever stands on high,
5 Thy promises are true,
Thy grace is ever new ;
There fix'd, thy church shall ne'er re-
move:
Thy saints with holy fear
Shall in thy courts appear,
And sing thine everlasting love.
3 IS. Christian Friend snip.

And each fulfil his part

Divinely rich, divinely sweet ;
The oil thro' all the room
Diffus'd a choice perfume,
Ran thro' his robes, and blest his feet.
3 Like fruitful showers of rain
That water all the plain,
Descending from the neighb'ring hills;
Such streams of pleasure roll
Thro' every friendly soul,
Where love like heavenly dew distils.

349* Self Consecration*
1 Far from earth retreating,
And its scenes so fleeting,
Lord, I come to thee
From thy glorious dwelling,
Where heav'ns joys are swelling,
Saviour look on me ;
Let thy light
Dispel my night ;
Let thy lovely peace come o'er me,
While I bend before thee.
2 Lord, behold me waiting,
Freely consecrating
All I have to thee ;
Near thy cross abiding,
In thy love confiding,
Ever thine to be
O, then come,
My heart illume ; [ing,
Make my soul thy humble dwell -
Rebel thoughts expelling,
3 Grace has made me willing,
Grace my spirit filling,
Lord, the praise be thine}
Wjjen with free salvation.
Sav'd from condemnation,
Near thy throne I shine :
Then the strain
Shall swell again,
Glory to thy name, blest Saviour,
Reign, O, reign for ever.
350* Christ in adversity*
1 'Mid the wide commotion
Of life's troubled ocean,
What have I to fear ?
While around this dwelling,
Tempest waves are swelling,
Jesus still is near :
With his peace
My joys increase,
Far beyond earth's fading pleasures
And her richest treasures.
2 Lord, in thee abiding,
In thy strength confiding,
I shall never fall ;
As thy love is beaming—
As heav'n's light is streaming
O'er my trembling soul,
Jesus hear
My earnest prayer;
Save me from sin's dread inliuslom
Save me from delusion.

I Soft and holy is the place, [heav'n,
Where the light that beams from
Shows the Saviour's smiling face,
With the joy of sin forgiv'n.
t There with one accord we meet*
All the words of life to hear,
Bending low at Jesus' feet,
Worshipping with godly fear.
3 Let the world and all its cares,
Now retire from every breast;
Let the tempter and his snares,
Cease to hinder or molest.
4 Precious Sabbath of the Lord,
Fairest type of heav'n above,
Purest joy thy scenes afford
To the heart that's tun'd to love.
352. Resurrection of Christ*
1 Angels roll the rock away,
Death yields up his mighty prey,
See ! he rises from the tomb,
Cloth'd in heaven's immortal bloom!
2 'Tis the Saviour ! seraphs, raise
Your triumphant songs of praise ;
Let the earth's remotest bound,
Hear the joy-inspiring sound.
3 Now, ye saints, lift up your eyes,
See him high in glory rise !
Hosts of angels on the road,
Hail him, the incarnate God !
4 Heav'n unfolds its portals wide:
See the Conq'ror through them ride ,
King of Glory! mount thy throne,
Boundless empire is thine own.
5 Praise him all ye heavenly choirs,
Tune and sweep your golden lyres ;
Praise him in the noblest songs,
Praise him from ten thousand tongues
353. Song of Angels.
1 Hark ! the herald angels sing,
" Glory to the new born King;
Peace on earth and mercy mild ;
God and sinners reconcil'd."
2 Joyful all ye nations rise,
Join the triumphs of the skies ;
With th' angelie host proclaim,
" Christ is born in Bethlehem."
3 Mild he lays his glories by,
Born that man no more may die ;
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
■4 Hail the heav'n bornPrince of Peace
Hail the Sun of Righteousness !
Light and life to man he brings,
Ris'n with healing in his wings.

1 Parting soul, the floods await thee,
And the billows round thee roar*
Yet rejoice , the holy city
Stands on yon celestial shore.
2 There are crowns and thrones of
glory,
There the living waters glide ;
There the just in shining raiment,
Standing by Immanuel's side.
3 Linger not, the stream is narrow,
Tho' its cold dark waters rise ;
He who pass'd the flood before thee
Guides thy path to yonder skies.
355* "Weep not for me."
1 Why lament the Christian dying ?
Why indulge in tears or gloom ?
Calmly on the Lord relying,
He can greet the op'ning tomb.
3 What if death, with icy fingers,
All the fount of life congeals ?
'Tis not there thy brother lingers,
'Tis not death his spirit feels.
3 Tho' for him thy soul is mourning,
Tho' with grief thy heart is riv'n >
While his flesh to dust is turning,
All his soul is fill'd with heav'n.
4 Scenes seraphic, high and glorious,
Now forbid his longer stay;
See him rise o'er death victorious,
Angels beckon him away.
5 Hark ! the golden harps are ring-
ing.
Sounds unearthy fill his ear ;
Millions now in heaven singing,
Greet his joyful entrance there.
356. Prayer for deliverance
and forgiveness*
Dread Jehovah ! God of nations,
From thy temple in the skies ;
Hear thy people's supplications,
Now for their deliv'rance rise.
Lo ! with deep contrition turning,
Humbly at thy feet we bend;
Hear us, fasting, praying, mourn-
ing,
Hear us, spare us, and defend.
Tho' our sins, our hearts confound-
ing, [call;
Long and loud for vengeance
Thou hast mercy more abounding,
Jesus' blood can cleanse them all.
Let that love veil our transgres-
sions,
Let that blood our guilt efiuce ;
Save thy people from oppressions,
Save from spoil thy holy place.
357* Song of Angels.
Hark ! what mean those holy voices
Sweetly sounding through the
sky?
Lo ! th' angelic host rejoices ;
" Glory be to God most high."
"Peace on earth, good will from
heaven."
Harps and voices loud resound ;
"Souls redeem'd and sins for-
given,
" Far as guilty man is found."
3 Christ is born, ye saints adore him,
Fear his name and taste his
joy;
Till in heav'n ye sing before him,
" Glory be to God most high !"

1 Before thy footstool kneeling,
O, Lord to thee we cry ;
While for thy gift of healing,
We raise our voice on high :
Diseases and afflictions
Thy ready servants are-,
Chastisements and corrections
To quicken us in prayer.
2 We own our guilt and folly,
But thou canst still forgive ;
And thou, most high and holy,
Canst bid the sick revive :
Though now cast down in sorrow,
In darkness and distress ;
Joy may return to-morrow,
Through thy restoring grace.
3 As suppliants now before thee,
Beside affliction's bed ;
Physician, we adore thee,
And trembling ask thine aid ;
Before thy footstool kneeling,
To thee, to thee we cry;
Send down thy gift of healing.
Our souls on thee rely.
359. Psalm lxxvii.
1 In time of tribulation
Hear, Lord, my feeble cries,
With humble supplication
To thee my spirit flies :
My heart with grief is breaking,
Scarce can my voice complain :
My eyes with tears kept waking,
Still watch and weep in vain —
3 The days of old in vision
firing vanish'd bliss to view,
The years of lost fruition,
Tbeir joy* in pangs renew:
Remember' d songs of gladness
Thro' night's lone silence brought,
Make notes of deeper sadness,
And stir desponding thought.
3 Has God cast off for ever ?
Can time his truth impair?
His tender mercy, never
Shall I presume to share ?
Hath he his loving kindness
Shut up in endless wrath ?
No : 'tis but human blindness
That cannot see his path.
4 Thy way is in great waters,
Thy footsteps are unknown ;
Let Adam's sons and daughters
Confide in thee alone :
Thy deeds, O Lord, are wonder,
Holy are all thy ways ;
The secret place of thunder
Shall utter forth thy praise.
360* Repentance*
Before thy cross lamenting,
My Saviour I would lie,
Of all my sins repenting,
That caus'd my Lord to die :
My soul with tears of anguish,
Her follies would confess ;
O ! while in pain I languish
Restore me by thy grace.
Doxology.
To Father, Son, and Spirit,
Eternal praise be giv'n,
By all that earth inherit,
And all that dwell in heav'n ;
Thou triune God ! before thee,
Our inmost souls adore :
Who art and hast been worthy*
And Shalt be everraoape

361. Evening Hymn.
1 Thus far the Lord has led me on ;
Thus far his pow'r prolongs my days ;
And every evening shall make known
Some fresh memorial of his grace.
2 Much of my time has run to waste,
And I perhaps am near my home ;
But he forgives my follies past,
And gives me strength for days to
come.
3 I lay my body down to sleep ;
Peace is the pillow for my head ;
While well-appointed angels keep
Their watchful stations near my oed.
4 In vain the sons of earth or hell
Tell me a thousand frightful things ;
My God in safety makes me dwell
Beneath the shadow of his wings.
5 Thus, when the night of death shall
come, [ground,
My flesh shall rest beneath the
And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb,
With sweet salvation in the sound.
363. Example of Christ.
I My dear Redeemer, and my Lord !
1 read my duty in thy word;
But in thy life the law appears,
Drawn out in living characters.
2 Such was thy truth, and such thy
zeal,
Such deference to thy Father's will,
Thy love and meekness so divine,
I would transcribe and make them
mine.
3 Cold mountains and the midnight
air,
Witness'd the fervor of thy prayer :
The desert thy temptations knew,
Thy conflict, and thy victory too.
4 Be thou my pattern ; make me bear
More of thy gracious image here;
Then God, the Judge, shall own my
name
Among the followers of the Lamb.
363. Walk by faith, not by sight.
1 'Tis by the faith of joys to come
We walk thro' desarts dark as night,
Till we arrive at heaven, our home,
Faith is our guide, and faith our light.
2 The want of sight she well supplies,
She makes the pearly gates appear ;
Far into distant worlds she pries,
And brings eternal glores near.
3 Cheerful we tread the desart thro*,
While faith inspires a heavenly ray,
Tho' lions roar, and tempests blow,
And rocks and dangers fill the way.
4 So Abra'm, by divine command,
Left his own house to walk with God :
His faith beheld the promis'd land,
And fir'd his zeal along the road.
364* Morning or Evening Song*
1 My God, how endless is thy love !
Thy gifts are every evening new,
And morning mercies from above,
Gently distil like early dew.
2 Thou spread'stthe curtains of the
night,
Great guardian of my sleeping hours
Thy sov'reign word restores the light,
And quickens all my drowsy powers.
3 I yield my powers to thy command;
To thee I consecrate my days ;
Perpetual blessings from thine hand
Demand perpetual songs of praise.

367. Love to Christ.
1 My gracious Redeemer I love,
His praises aloud I'll proclaim,
And join with the armies above,
To chant his adorable name ;
To gaze on his glories divine,
Shall be my eternal employ ;
To see them incessantly shine,
My boundless, ineffable joy.
2 He freely redeem'd with his blood,
My soul from the confines of hell ;
To live on the smiles of my God,
And in his sweet presence to dwell :
To shine with the angels of light,
With saints and with seraphs to sing,
To view with eternal delight
My Jesus, my Saviour, my King.
3 Ye palaces, sceptres and crowns,
Your pride with disdain I survey ;
Your pomps are but shadows and
sounds,
That pass in a moment away;
The crown that my Saviour be-
stows,
Yon permanent sun will outshine ;
My joy everlastingly flows,
My God, my Redeemer is mine.
308. Absence of Christ.
1 The happy in Jesus may rest,
But O, till in me he appears,
I mourn, by his absence oppress'd.
And water my couch with my
tears :
Ye watchmen of Israel declare,
If ye my Beloved have seen,
And point to that heavenly Fair,
Surpassing the children of men.
369. Psalm xcv*
1 O come, let us sing to the Lord,
In God our salvation rejoice ;
In psalms of thanksgiving record,
His praise with one spirit and voice ;
Jehovah is King, and he reigns
The God of all gods on his throne,
The strength of the hills he maintains,
The ends of the earth are his own.
2 O come, let us worship and kneel,
Before our Creator, our God,
The people who serve him with zeal,
The sheep who his pastures have
trod:
To him let us hearken to-day, [bove^
The voice that yet speaks from a*
And all his commandments obey,
For he that hath giv'n them is love.

371. A New Year.
1 Come let us anew
Our journey pursue ,
Roll round with the year
And never stand still, till our Master
appear.
2 Our life is a dream,
Out time as a stream,
Glides swiftly away,
And the fugitive moment refuses to
stay.
3 The arrow is flown,
The moment is goner
The millennial year
Rushes on to our view, and eternity's
here.
24
4 O, that each in the day
Of his coming may say,
" I have fought my way thro',
I have finish'd the work thou didst
give me to do.',
5 O, that each from the Lord
May receive the glad word,
"Well and faithfully done,
Enter into my joy and sit down on my
throne/'
Doxology*
6 To the Father, the Son,
And the Spirit — Three, One,
Let glory be given,
By the ransom'd on earth and legions
in heav'n.

1 To thee,when call'd awhile to part
With friends or kindred dear;
To thee we raise each drooping
heart,
And tell each rising fear ;
For thou, O God, art ever nigh
To hear thy children when they cry.
2 The Lord in mercy condescends
To those who ask his love ;
Calls them his children and his friends
And writes their names above.
His bending ear, his smiling face,
Are present at the throne of grace.
3 As children of a Father's care,
Thy blessing we implore ;
As friends of Jesus we would share
Thy presence evermore.
'Tis this alone can cheer the soul,
And every rising grief control.
4 If thou art with us when we part
With friends or kindred dear,
To fill with joy each drooping heart,
And banish every fear ;
How easy then, to bid adieu !
For Jesus smiles, and Heav'n is true.
377. Bliss of Heaven.
1 Heav'n is the place where troubles
cease,
Where toils and tears are o'er;
The blissful clime of rest and peace,
Where cares distract no more.
And not the shadow of distress
Dims its unsullied blessedness.
2 Heav'n is the place where Jesus
lives,
To plead his dying blood ;
While to his prayers his Father
gives
An unknown multitude;
Whose hopes and tongues thro' end-
less days,
Shall crown his head with songs of
praise.
3 Heav'n is the dwelling place of
joy,
The home of light and love ;
Where faith and hope in raptupe
die,
And ransom'd souls above
Enjoy, before th' Eternal throne,
Bliss everlasting and unknown.

INFANT SCHOOL.
1 The Saviour suffers us to come,
And infant lips may sing his praise )
Ye friends of Jesus, give us room,
And listen to the song we raise.
SABBATH SCHOOL.
2 The Sabbath schools his grace re-
ceive, [charms ;
And children here behold his
Parents and teachers, O ! believe,
And bring us to the Saviour's arms.
ORPHAN SCHOOL.
3 We have no parents ; but the Lord,
Sinee they are dead, may take us
O ! tell us of that gracious word, [up ;
Which fills us with the orphan's hope.
TEACHERS.
4 The orphan's sigh, the children's
prayer, [lays,
The infant's song, the teacher's
The Lord will condescend to hear,
He will accept our joyful praise.
CHORUS.
5 Then let us all in concert join,
The triumphs of the cross to tell;
And celebrate in strains divine,
The glories of Immanuel.
INFANT SCHOOL.
6 And who is our Immanuel 1
And what the triumphs of his cross ?
SABBATH SCHOOL.
'Twas he that came on earth to dwell:
He died — he lives to save the lost.
ORPHAN SCHOOL.
7 And will not he our cause defend ?
May we not humbly trust his grace.
TEACHERS.
Yes, he will be the orphan's friend,
A father of the fatherless.
CHORUS.
8 In him we live, in him we move,
From him alone our blessings flow :
Then let us all the Saviour love,
And in his grace and knowledge g?ow.

1 Friend after friend departs ;
Who hath not lost a friend 1
There is no union here of hearts,
That finds not here an end.
Were this frail world our final rest,
Living or dying, none were blest.
2 Beyond the flight of time,
Beyond the reign of death,
There surely is some blessed clime>
Where life is not a breath,
Nor life's affections transient fire,
Whose sparks fly upward and ex-
pire.
3 There is a world above,
Where parting is unknown ;
A long eternity of love,
Form'd for the good alone ;
And faith beholds the dying here,
Translated to that glorious sphere.
4 Thus star by star declines,
Till all are pass'd away ;
As morning high and higher
shines
To pure and perfect day.
Nor sink those stars in empty night,
But hide themselves in heaven's own
light.

3 S3* Deatli of tlie Righteous*
1 This place is holy ground ;
World, with thy cares away ;
Silence and darkness reign around.
But soon the break of day—
The resurrection dawn appears,
To shine upon this scene of tears.
2 Behold the bed of death,
This pale and lovely clay,
Heard ye the sob of parting breath!
Mark'd ye the eye's last ray 1
No ! life so Sweetly ceased to be,
It lapsed in immortality.
3 Could tears revive the dead,
Rivers would swell our eyes;
Could sighs recall the spirit fled,
We would not quench our sighs.
Till love illum'd this altered mien,
And all th' embodied soul were
seen.
4 Bury the dead, and weep,
In stillness o'er the lost ;
Bury the dead ; in Christ they sleep.
Who bore on earth his cross.
Soon from the grave the dust shall
rise,
In his own image to the skies.

3S4. The Sablmtli.
1 Lord of the Sabbath and its light:
I hail thy hallowed day of rest ;
It is my weary soul's delight,
The solace of my care-worn breast.
2 Its dewy morn, its glowing noon,
Its tranquil eve, its solemn night.
Pass sweetly; but they pass too soon,
And leave me sadden'd at this flight.
3 Yet, sweetly as they glide along,
And hallowed tho' the calm they
yield,
Transporting though their rapturous
song,
And heav'nly visions seem re-
veal'd.
4 My soul is desolate and drear,
My silent harp untuned remains,
Unless, my Saviour, thou art near,
To heal my wounds, and soothe my
pains.
50 Jesus, ever let me hail,
Thy presence with thy day of rest,
'Then will thy servant never fail
f*o deem thy Sabbath doubly blest.
385* SabbatkEvenliis.
1 Another day has pass'd along,
And we are nearer to the tomb;
Nearer, to join the heav'nly song,
Or hear the last eternal doom.
2 Sweet is the light of Sabbath eve,
And soft the sun beams ling'ring
there,
For these blest hours, the world I
leave,
Wafted on wings of faith and prayer*
3 The time, how lovely and how still!
Peace shines and smiles on all below
The plain, the stream, the wood, the
hill,
All fair with evening's setting glow.
4 Season of rest! the tranquil soul
Feels the sweet calm, and melts m
love ;
And while these sacred moments roll-
Faith sees a smiling heav'n above-
5 Nor will our days of toil be long,
Our pilgrimage will soon be trodj
And we shall join the ceaseless song,
The endless Sabbath of our God.

38T. Psalm xviil. applied to the American Revolution*
1 To bless the Lord our God, in strains divine,
With thankful hearts and raptur'd voices join;
To us what wonders his right hand hath shown !
Mercies his chosen tribes have scarcely known !
Like David blest, begin th' enraptur'd song ;
And praise and joy awaken every tongue. '
2 No more against our land shall strangers rise,
But fade, and fade, beneath avenging skies,
Pleas'd the fierce heathen yield to happier sway,
The groping savage hails the gospel day;
Low sink the proud, the sons of blood be slain,
Nor injur'd Zion lift her cries in vain.
3 But, O thou Power belov'd ! our shores around,
Be every virtue, every blessing found ;
Here bid thy seasons crown the fruitful plain ;
Here bid fair peace extend her blissful reign ;
Let law, let justice, hold perpetual sway ;
The soul unfetter'd, and the conscience free.

Who delight in the law of their God,
Their joys shall increase,
And their trials shall cease,
As they enter the heav'nly abode.
3 What scenes will arise,
As they pass through the skies .
What rapture their bosoms will fill,
As their harps they employ
In the fulness of joy,
On the height of some heavenly hill.
4 Rejoice in the Lord,
Believe in his word,
Confide in his mercy and grace,
His throne shall endure,
His promise is sure,
In him shall the righteous have

1 O Jesus our King,
These offerings we bring,
And prostrate ourselves at thy thronej
We come in thy name,
No merit we claim,
We bring thee but what is thy own.
2 Thine, Lord, is the whole,
The body, the soul,
All, all that we have or desire;
Our time and our health,
Our influence, our wealth,
Our affections that upward aspire.
3 Yet wilt thou approve
Such off 'rings of love ;
And when stewards thy treasures
restore,
They find their reward
In the joy of their Lord;
And what could thy servants have
more?
4 Thy name we adore,
Thy blessing implore,
0! smile on the trifles we bring;
Accept from our hands
What thy glory demands,
And thy praises aloud we will sing.

394. Prayer at evening twi-
light.
1 I love to steal awhile away
From every curab'ring care,
And spend the hours of setting day,
In humble, grateful prayer.
2 I love in solitude to shed
The penitential tear,
And all His promises to plead,
Where none but God can hear
3 I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore,
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On him whom I adore.
4 I love by faith to take a view,
Of brighter scenes in heav'n ;
The prospect doth my strength re-
new,
While here by tempests driv'n,
5 Thus, when life's toilsome flay is o'er,
May its departing ray
Be calm as this impressive hour,
And lead to endless day.
395. Distribution of Tracts*
1 O ! bless the silent heralds Lord,
Attend them on their way ;
While they declare thy precious word
Let multitudes obey.
2 Let sinners read, and thus discern,
The grace that thou hast given ;
Till they by sweet experience learn,
The way that leads to heav'n.
3 May those who now the heralds
Be filled with holy love ; [bear,
And give themselves to earnest pray-
For blessings from above. [er
396* Scriptural teaching of the
Young*
1 How shall the young secure their
hearts,
And guard their lives from sin ?
Thy word the choicest rules imparts
To keep the conscience clean.
2 When once it enters to the mind,
It spreads such light abroad,
The meanest souls instruction find,
And raise their thoughts to God.
3 'Tis like the sun, a heavenly light
That guides us all the day ;
And thro' the dangers of the night,
A lamp to lead our way.
4 Thy word is everlasting truth ;
How pure is every page'.
That holy book shall guide our youth,
And well support our age.

Wake, Isles of the South . your redemption is near!
No longer repose in the borders of gloom!
The strength of his chosen in love will appear,
And light shall arise on the verge of the tomb.
The billows that girt you, the wild waves that roar,
The zephyrs that play when the ocean storms cease
Shall waft the rich freight to your desolate shore,
Shall waft the glad tidings of pardon and peace.
On the islands that sit in the regions of night,
(The land of despair, to oblivion a prey,)
The morning will open with healing and light;
The glad Star of Bethlehem will brighten to day.
The altar and idol, in dust overthrown,
The incense forbade that was hallow'd with blood ,
The Priest of Melchisedec there shall atone,
And the shrines of Atooi be sacred to God.
The heathen will hasten to welcome the time,
The day-spring, the prophet in vision once saw ;
When the beams of Messiah will 'lumine each clime,
And the isles of the ocean shall wait for his law.
And thou, Obookiah ! now sainted above,
Wilt rejoice as the heralds their mission disclose;
And thy prayer be heard, that the land thou didst love
May blossom as Sharon, and bud as the rose.

HINTS TO LAYMEN, AND TO THE CLERGY.
1. The tunes of this volume admit of some variety of style, as to the
manner of expressing different subjects, with the same melody. Generally
speaking, however, the movement should be more rapid than would be
required in psalmody. The air, is for the most part, so arranged as to be
sung either with treble or tenor voices : but the second treble, does not
admit of the same license.
2. Some of the tunes, such as Chester, page 17, Invitation, p. 43, Return,
O Wanderer, p. 51, being intended only for a single voice, should seldom be
given to a full choir or congregation.
3. A small number of tunes, such as Watchman tell us, p. 72, Response,
•p. 106, have the best effect in dialogue, and should not be given out in pub-
lic meetings, without consulting the person who leads tbe singing.
4. Such pieces as Brightness of Glory, p. 58, the Lord is my Shepherd,
p. 100, and a few others, are of a character too delicate for ordinary occa
sions ; and are properly classed with such pieces as Elliot, p. 85, and Ever
»ing Song, p. 86, to be sung in private or family worship.
.5. Another class may be mentioned, such as Zion, p. 16. Salem, p. 28,
Light of those, p. 36, Believer's Joy, p. 38, The Warning, p. 40, Missionary
Hymn, p. 44, Conflict, p. 52, Geneva, p. 60, There is a Harp, p. 64, Sweet
■was the Time, p. 66, the Promises, p. 74, Happy Soul, p. 76, Moravian
Hymn, p. 79, Rock of Ages, p. 84, Convocation, p. 92, My Faith looks up to
Thee, p, 94, Advent, p. 98, Prospect, p. 102, Norfolk, p. 110, While Life
Prolongs, p. 112, To-Day the Saviour Calls, p. 114, Return, p. 120, Adora-
tion, p. 122, The Alarm, p. 132, Mission Song, p. 136, The Judgment Seat,
p. 138. Will you scorn the Message, p. 148, Wake the Song, p. 150.
Though the tunes of this class, like most of the others, are intended for
seasons of private worship, or family circles of prayer, they may yet occa
sionally be sung by a full orchestra, during public worship on the Sabbath,
or on other occasions of religious interest, especially when the words have
been rendered familiar to the congregation.
306 HINTS TO LAYMEN, AND
6. The clergyman should seldom read two hymns of a peculiar metre
from the same page of this work, during a single religious meeting, as this
would generally require two successive performances of the same tune.
7. It is scarcely to be presumed that any company of singers will always
be prepared to perform every tune in the volume that the clergyman might
choose to select. A regular list should therefore be furnished him; or the
tunes committed to memory, may be marked in the margin with a
pencil.
8. The compilers would respectfully suggest, whether the practice of
committing devotional hymns to memory, that prevails in some deno-
minations, ought not to be more extensively adopted. This would greatly
facilitate the performance of such hymns, and heighten the general interest
in their character.
9. Is it necessary that such an endless variety of hymns should be
selected, as is often the practice 1 Hymns with which we are familiarly
acquainted, and with which we are particularly pleased, have been found,
in general, to produce the strongest effect upou our devotions. The sim-
ple, didactic or descriptive too, is better to be read than to be sung. And,
on the other hand, a small number of general subjects, it is believed, may
be found appropriate to a great variety of sermons or occasions. The 51st
psalm, for example, might be well adapted, so far as the subject is con-
cerned, to a whole series of sermons on the nature and duty of repentance,
embracing the obligations and motives ; or to a similar series on the sub-
ject of forgiveness; or to a series which should be calculated to expose
any particular sins, or any causes of lukewarmness, or backsliding, or
impenitence. But to seek for hymns which should enter into all the
leading particulars of a didactic or argumentative discourse on these sub-
jects, would be to seek for skeletons in rhyme, which could never be sung
to any devotional purpose. If this fact were more generally understood
it would lead in time to the exclusion of a multitude of unpoetic effusions
from the current hymn books : and this, as we fully believe, to the great
improvement of devotional singing.
10. The practice of lining the psalm, as it is called, would nearly destroy
the effect of these simple melodies. The practice is a great injury to
psalmody, under any circumstances; but here it would be particularly
detrimental to the interests of devotion. Ought not a practice which
TO THE CLERGY 309
seems to have originated in the want of books, and the ignorance of
letters, to be abandoned, in such an age of improvement as our
own?
11. In reference to the matters above mentioned, the clergyman, if not
himself a singer, would do well to consult witu the persons who have
this portion of the religious exercises more specially in charge. A few
moments consultation, previous to a meeting, would often increase the de-
votional influences of song, when the singers themselves are spiritual.
12. The influence of c'ergymen at private rehearsals, and at schools,
would be of'great use. The voice of prayer and occasional exhortation,
should be heard at such places. The Lord is beginning to bless singing
schools that are religiously conducted : and ought not the watchmen to
recognize this fact among the interesting signs of the times 1 Clergymen
are prone to neglect this subject : and often they occasion, without per-
haps intending it, great discouragement to the singers of their congre-
gations. A litttle attention to this subject, on right principles, would
not be superfluous, though a pastor should really have no talent for
music.
13. In past ages, devotional singing was almost universal in Christian
families. Why is it now so extensively neglected ? Have the apostolic
precepts and examples on this subject, no longer any binding influence
upon us ? Few families would be found destitute of talent, if these require-
ments were habitually obeyed.
RUDIMENTS.
NOTATION.
Under the head of notation in vocal music, our present limits will admit
only of the following brief outline.
I. OF THE SCALES.
The octave, consisting of eight primary sounds, as written upon the ordi-
nary staff of five lines, is the foundation of all melody. The first of these
sounds is called a key.
ASCENDING. DESCENDING.
■<g O -
key. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, key.
These sounds rise or fall at unequal distances, called tones and semitones.
But as the staff marks to the eye no other than equal degrees, additional
characters are employed to supply this deficiency. These are the clefs, the
first seven letters of the alphabet, and flats, sharps, and naturals. The letters
give names to the lines and spaces of the staff, and the clefs show the man-
ner of their application.
The F. clef designates the base staff and occupies the fourth line. The
G. clef is used for tenor or treble, and occupies the second line.

The music syllables in most common use, are faw, sol, law, mi. When
applied to the ascending octave, they read thus — faw, sol, law, faw, sol,
law, mi, faw; and when applied to the descending octave, they read by
inversion — faw, mi, law, sol, faw, law, sol, faw.

The above is called the natural scale. The key note is C. The treble
here begins with the highest note of the base, and carries the melody an
octave higher. But when the tenor voice is applied to the treble clef, the
sounds as there written, are sung in unison with the base i. e. one octave
lower than that of the treble.
The semitones lie between the syllables law, faw, as at E and F ; and at
m, faw, as at B and C. Between the other syllables, are tones.
When the octave commences at any other degree of the staff, the scale is
no longer satuiul : and as in such case the tones and semitones necessarily
acquire new places in the staff the transpositions are shown by flats and
sharps placed at the clef:
FLAT.
SHARP.
SE
EOF
The same syllables always represent the same melody; appropriate
changes of their location in the staff serve therefore to secure the- right
intonation. In naming the sounds of the octave, the syllable mi occurs but
once; hence, if the place of this syllable can be ascertained, that of the
others will follow of course, because the order of reckoning is always uni-
form.
In the natural scale, as seen in a former example, the syllable mi is always
located at B ; while faw occupies C, and sol, D. &c. When a flat is placed
on the B line, (see next example.) the syllable mi is removed to the line or
space called E. When a sharp is placed on the line or jpace called F, the
syllable mi is removed to F; and in these and other cases of removal, as
before intimated, the other syllables are wholly governed by the location of
the syllable ml

For tunes corresponding with No. 1, of the la6t example, see Preparation,
Drooping Souls, Brainard, &c. For those corresponding with No. 2, see
Invitation, Geneva. For tunes where the scale is natural and the mi in B,
see Light of those, Happy Soul, Palestine, The Alarm, &c.
A farther knowledge of the transpositions of the octave, with its attendant
syllables, may be acquired from the following table.
The natural 'place for mi is in B ; but
If B be flat, mi is removed to E,
If B and E be flat, - - - A,
If B, E, and A, be flat, - - D,
If B, E, A, and D be flat, - G.
If F be sharp, mi is removed to F,
If F and C, be sharp, - - C,
If F, C and G be sharp, - G,
If F, C, G, and D be sharp, D.*
Flats and sharps occurring in the midst of a tune, have an influence of a
more limited character. This influence is generally confined to the extent
of one measure. A flat before a note sinks it one semitone. A sharp before
a note raises it one semitone. A natural (thus marked -tj ) restores the re-
gular pitch where a flat or sharp had been previously inserted. Flats, sharps
and naturals, when thus employed, are called accidentals. When placed at
the clef, they form signatures. Faw, sol or law, when sharped by an acci-
dental, is called fi, si or li, in imitation of the sound mi, pronounced nearly
as broad as the word may. Notes that are to be sung one semitone lower
by the use of accidentals are called FAw.t
The scale of the octave, as above described,whether natural or transposed,
is called major; and the key is faw, one semitone above mi. But the oc-
tave may also be formed into a minor scale, when law, one tone below Ml,
will become the key. The following exhibits the natural minor scale, which
is two degrees of the staff lower than the major scale, and it has the same
relative situation in all the transpositions, i. e. two degrees lower than the
major scale.
* Some teachers employ a greater number of music syllables than 'those abore mentioned, applying
them in the same general manner. The sounds of the octave, for instance, may be occupied with tlie syl-
uicui jii me same general manner, i ne sounds or tne octave, tor instance, may be occupied with the syl-
lables do, ri, mi, faw, tol, law, si, do. In this rase, si takes the place of mi, do the place of faw t'ht
key note, &c. and the abore table, after this method, would read thus .
The natural place of ti is on C ; but
If B be flat, et is removed to E, &c.
t Analogous modifications of the syllables do, ri, mi, &c. are formed for a similar purpose.

III. OF THE DURATION OF SOUNDS.
Every piece of music is divided by the single bar, into equal portions of
time, called measures.
Bar, Measure, Bar, Measure, Bar, Measure, Bar.
Time, with respect to measure, is of three kinds, Common, Triple, and
Compound. In each of these kinds there are three principal varieties.
I. Common Time is distin-
guished by the characters ~^^*
and
I
The first variety has a semibreve for its measure note, requiring in gene*
ral, the time of four beats or regular motions of the hand. The second has
the same measure note, with half the same number of beats . The third ha*
a minim for its measure note, requiring two beats.

RUDIMENTS.
3. Compound Time is
thus designated :
The first variety has two pointed minims, equal to six crotchets, for a
measure; and the second has two pointed crotchets, equal to six quavers.
Each of these varieties, when the movement is slow, may receive six heats
in a measure, and when the movement is quick, two beats.

The third variety, consisting of the value of four pointed crotchets in each
measure, is not used in devotional music.
For examples in the first and second varieties, see When the heart is
sad, page 121, and Spring, page 118.
The general time of a movement, as to slowness or rapidity, depend*
much upon the sentiments contained in the words to which the music is ap-
plied.
Accent, as a general rule, follows the downward motion of the hand* in
beating; but in the simple, speaking melodies contained in this volume, it
must be greatly modified by the accent of the language.
Emphasis is a more powerful stress of voice than that of accent. It ha9
the same office in sentences, that accent has in words.
The characters that remain to be noticed, are the brace, the double bar,
the repeat, the slur, choosing notes, the swell, and diminish.
Brace, Double Bar, Repeat, Slur, Choosing Notes
Swell,
Diminish.
• The band falls nt the begleMiin;* of every meastnv.
RUDIMENTS. 3i7
The Brace connects such parts as are sung together in the same tune*
The Double Bar shows the end of a strain or close of a tune.
The Repeat shows when a part of a tune is to be sung twice successively.
See Zion, page 16, and Messiah, page 20.
The Slur embraces such notes as are to be sung at one syllable.
Of Choosing Notes, the upper or under one may be sung at the option of
the performer : but in this work, two distinct parts are often presented in
fhe form of choosing notes. Of these, the higher one is the air, and the
lower one the second treble. See " Hints to laymen and to the clergy,'' sec-
tion first.
The Swell and the Diminish mark such notes and passages as require a
gradual increase or diminution of voice.
