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 some twenty or thirty specimens of a more
sort,

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
 PHEFACE.

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 bearingupon 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 fervo r 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.

From Sorrow's weeping eye; And pour my woes abroad.

And banish every fear

And let thy healing voice impart He calls thee to his throne of grace,
A taste of joys divine. To spread thy sorrows there.

Prostrate, dear Jesus, at thy feet 1 Dear refuge of my weary soul,
A guilty rebel lies On thee, when sorrows rise,
And upward to the mercy-seat On thee, when waves of trouble roll,
Presumes to lift his eyes. My fainting hope relies.

2 Oh, let not justice frown me hence 2 To thee I tell each rising grief,
Stay, stay the vengeful storm For thou alone canst heal
Forbid it, that Omnipotence Thy word can bring a sweet relief
Should crush a feeble worm. For every pain I feel.

To pay the debt I owe, [ing eyes, I fear to call thee mine
Tears should from both my weep- The springs of comfort seem to fail.
In ceaseless currents flow. And all my hopes decline.

To expiate my guilt; [shed, Thou art my only trust [flee? ;

No tears, but those which thou hast And still my soul would cleave to
No bloodj but thou hast spilt. Tho' prostrate in the dust, [thee,

A Plenteous grace with thee is found, In thine own appointed way
Grace to pardon all my sin Now we seek thee, here we stay ;
Let the healing streams abound Lord, we know not how to go,
Make and keep me pure within. 'Till a blessing thou bestow.
Thou of life the fountain art; Send some message from thy word,
Freely let me take of thee; That may joy and peace afford;
Spring thou up within my heart; Let thy spirit now impart
Rise to all eternity. Full salvation to each heart.

1 Once I tho't my mountain strong, They shall stand in God's great day.
Firmly fixed, no more to move; With them number'd may we be,
Then my Saviour was my song, Here, and in eternity.
Then my soul was fill'd with love 3 They produce the fruits of grace;
Those were happy, golden days, In the works of righteousness;
Sweetly spent in prayer and praise. They are harmless, meek, and mild,
Holy, humble, undefil'd.
2 Little then myself I knew,
Little thought of Satan's pow'r
With them number'd may we be,
Here, and in eternity.
Now I feel my sins renew
Now I feel the stormy hour 4 They are lights upon the earth,
Sin ha3 put my joys to flight; Children of a heav'nly birth
Sin has turned my day to night. One with God, with Jesus one;
Glory in them is begun.
3 Saviour, shine and cheer my soul,
With them number'd may we be,
Bid my dying hopes revive
Here, and in eternity.
Make my wounded spirit whole
Far away the tempter drive 13. liirke ii.

Clothe me in thy righteousness
God whose glory fills the sky.
Good and merciful thou art
Bind this Weeding, broken heart: 2 Christ, th' incarnate God, we own
Cast me not despairing hence Christ, the well-beloved Son;
Be my hope, my confidence. Lamb of God, for sinners slain
Saviour of offending man.

1 Now we hail the happy dawning Where the beasts of prey are prowl-
Of the Gospel's glorious light, ing,
May take the wings of morning,

And dispel the shades of night; There exchange the dismal howling
Blessed Saviour, For the pleasing calm of peace
Let our eyes behold the sight. And for ever
May destruction's empire cease.

nor shrub, nor flowret
Plant, O, let all the world adore thee
grows, Universal be thy fame
There refresh the wand'rer weary, Kings and subjects fall before thee,
With the sight of Sharon's Rose; And extol thy matchless name;
And its beauties All ascribing
To the longing eye disclose. Endless praises to the Lamb.

To thee let sinners fly, [hearts 'Tis here our hope relies
And take the bliss thy love imparts, A safe defence, a peaceful home,
And drink, and never die. When storms of trouble rise.

And every heart rejoice Their humble hope thou wilt re-
The trumpet of the Gospel sounds
With bliss divinely free, [ward
With an inviting voice.
Great God, to thy Almighty love,
Ho! all ye hungry, starving souls What honors shall we raise?
Who feed upon the wind, Not all the raptur'd songs above,
And vainly strive,with earthly toys Can render equal praise.
To fill an empty mind

Who calls our souls from death My thoughts no comfort find;
Who saves by his redeeming word, The holy, just, and sacred Three
And new creating breath. Are terrors to my mind.
To praise the Father, and the Son, But, if Immanuel's face appear,
And Spirit all divine, My hope, my joy begins;
The One in Three and Three in One, His name forbids my slavish fear
Let saints and angels join. His grace removes my sins.

1 Omy soul, what means this sadness? . Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing;
Wherefore art thou thus east Fill our hearts with joy and peace,
down? Let us each, thy love possessing,
Let thy grief be turn'd to gladness ? Triumph in redeeming grace
Bid thy restless fear begone O refresh us!
Look to Jesus, ''

Trav'ling thro' this wilderness.

Trust in him, and him alone.

2 Tho' ten thousand ills beset thee For thy Gospel's joyful sound:
Though thy heart is prone to sin May the fruits of thy salvation
Jesus Hvesj he'll ne'er forget thee; In our hearts and lives abound;

He is faithful })
With us evermore be found
None shall find his promise vain.

Fill my soul, &c. Still pursuing,
While I sing redeeming love. Till my Saviour pass'd that way.

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
Fromthe shafts of the fowler that fly;
O, Saviour of sinners, thine arm be reveal'd
In mercy, in might, from on high.

1 Drooping souls, no longer mourn, You the law have broken
Jesus still is precious Flee you then to sov'reign grace!
If tohim you now return, Mercy thus hath spoken.
Heav'n will be propitious. Why in deeds that you have done
Jesus now passing by,
is Seek for consolation?
Calling wand'rers near him Jesus lives : in him alone
Drooping souls, you need not die: Can you find salvation.
Go to him and hear him.
3 Guilty, helpless, and distress'd,
2 He has pardons, full and free,
Drooping souls to gladden; Ruined and despairing,
Still he cries, " Come unto me,
Toiling for deceitful rest,
Weary, heavy laden." Rebel, heaven-daring!
Tho' your sins like mountains high, Prostrate bow before the throne;
Rise, and reach to heaven
Take the lowest station;
Soon as you on him rely, Jesus lives : in him alone
All shall be forgiven. Can you find salvation.

3 Precious is the Saviour's name,

4 [Prostrate bow ; confess your guilt;
All his saints adore him;
Own your lost condition;
He to save the dying came, Yield toHim whose blood was spilt,
Prostrate bow before him
Unreserv'd submission.
Wand'ring sinners, now return Then no more in anguish groan
Contrite souls, believe him Seek his mediation!
Jesus calls you ; cease to mourn
Jesus lives in Him alone
:

Worship him receive him.

Can you find salvation.]
41. Conviction.
t Dying souls, fast bound in sin, 5 Linger not in all the plain
Trembling and repining, Vengeance pursuing is

With no ray of light divine 'Mid the dying and the slain,
On your pathway shining, Save your souls from ruin
Why in darkness wander on, Flee to Him who can atone
Fill'd with consternation, Flee from condemnation!
Jesus lives : in him alone Jesus fives in Him alone
:

Can you find salvation. Can you find salvation.

4fc2* Pleading for Assistance* In holy contemplation,

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

Redeem'd from sin, And thy salvation see.
May thy salvation see. 3 Thy cause we plead,

With joyful tongue To ransom souls from death :

To him that once was slain " Father, forgive,

Low with the dead "And let them live," . ..

But soon reviv'd again. 4 Thy
purchase claim,
3 Ascending high, O

See the triumphant Lord! These rebels, then
O how divine Renouncing sin,
His glories shine, Shall own th' incarnate Word?
By heav'n and earth ador'd. 48. Prospect of Heaven.
4 Immanuel! There remaineth therefore a rest. Heb. 4 : 9.

-Our bosoms fill 1 While here I sit

With the seraphic fire At Jesus' feet,
That we may join Amid the vale of tears;
In themes divine, I'll trust his grace,
That wake th' angelic choir. And sing his praise,
5 Now to the Lamb Nor yield to doubts and fears.
That once was slain, 2 And can it be
Be wisdom, glory, power, That I shall see
And blessing giv'n My Saviour face to face 1

By eairth and heav'n, For ever prove

While all their hosts adore. His boundless love,
6 Ancient of Days! And endless anthems raise?
Thy glories blaze 3 The thought shall still
Amid th' enraptur'd throng 5 My musings fill,

From this glad hour By cares and sorrows prest;

For evermore^ The blessed hope
We join the deathless song. Shall lift me up
47. Prayer for tlie Convicted. The hope of endless rest.

And righteousness, To wipe the tears ^'

Now lend the list'ning ear From ev'ry pilgrim's e3 e, r

To thee on high What tongue can tell

59« Missionary Hymn* 60. Psaim lxxii,

1 From Greenland's icy mountains, 1 Hail, to the Lord's anointed

From India's coral strand, Great David's greater Son;
Where Afric's sunny fountains Hail, in the time appointed,
Roll down their golden sand His reign on earth begun!
From many an aneient river, He comes to break oppression,
From many a palmy plain, To set the captive free;
They call us to deliver To take away transgression,
Their land from error's chain. And rule in equity.
2 What though the spicy breezes 2 He comes, with succor speedy,
Blow soft o'er Java's isle, To those who suffer wrong;
Though every prospect pleases, To help the poor and needy,
And only man is vile : And bid the weak be strong;
In vain with lavish kindness To give them songs for sighing,
The gifts of God are strewn, Their darkness turn to light,
The heathen in his blindness, Whose souls, condemn'd and dying
Bows down to wood and stone Were precious in his sight.
'3 Can we, whose souls are lighted 3 He shall come down like showers
With wisdom from on high, Upon the fruitful earth,
Can we, to men benighted, And love, and joy, like flowers,
The lamp of life deny 1 Spring in his path to birth :

Salvation! O Salvation! Before him, on the mountains,

The joyful sound proclaim, Shall peace, the herald, go,
Till earth's remotest nation And righteousness, in fountaius,
Has learn'd Messiah's name !
From hill to valley flow.
4 Waft, waft, ye winds, the story, 4 For Him shall prayer unceasing,
And you ye waters roll, And daily vows ascend;
Till, like a sea of glory, His kingdom still increasing,
It spreads from pole to pole A kingdom without end
Till o'er, our ransom'd nature, The tide of time shall never
The Lamb for
sinners slain, His covenant remove
Redeemer, King, Creator, His name shall stand for ever
{n bliss returns to reign That name to us is Love. —

Let hopeless sorrow cease;
Fain would my tongue adore her Bow to the sceptre of his love,
And pay the homage due. And take the offer'd peace.

1 Children of the heavenly King, Welcome to his sacred rest
As ye journey, sweetly sing; Nothing brought him from above,
Sing your Saviour's worthy praise, —
Nothing but redeeming love.
Glorious in his works and ways. 6 Hither, then, your music bring,
Strike aloud each joyful string;
2 Ye are traveling home to God,
Mortals join the hosts above
In the way the fathers trod;
Join to praise redeeming love.
They are happy now, and ye
Soon their happiness shall see. 79. Rvith i. 16--1S,
3 Shout ye little flock and blest, 1 People of the living God
You near Jesus' throne shall rest I have sought the world around,

There your seats are now prepar'd, Paths of sin and sorrow trod, [found:
There your kingdom and reward. Peace and comfort nowhere
2 Now to you my spirit turns,
4 Fear not, brethren; joyful stand
On the borders of your land !
—
Turns a fugitive unblest;
Brethren where your altar burns,
!

Jesus Christ, your Father's Son,

O, receive me into rest.
Bids you, undismay'd, go on
3 Lonely, I no longer roam, [wave
5 Lord, obediently we'll go, Like the cloud, the wind, the
Gladly leaving all below; Where you dwell shall be my home
Only thou our leader be, Where you die shall be my grave.
And we still will follow thee.

t Dust and ashes though we be,
2 Ye, who see the Father's grace, Full of guilt and misery
Beaming in the Saviour's face Thine we are, thou Son of God
As to Canaan on ye move, Take the purchase of thy blood.
Praise and bless redeeming love.
2 Boundless wisdom, pow'r divine,
Love unspeakable, are thine
3 Mourning souls dry up your tears,
Praise by all to thee be giv'n,
Banish all your gloomy fears
By thy sons of earth and heav'n
See your guilt and curse remove,
Cancell'd by redeeming love.
81. Doxology.
-i^ Ye, alas who long have been
!
Sing we to our God above,
Willing slaves of death and sin! Praise eternal as his love:
Now from bliss no longer rove Praise him all ye heavenly host,
Turn, and taste redeeming love. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

1 Brightness of glory, thou God of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness, and lend Us thine aid!
Shine, like the star, the horizon adorning •

Guide where the infant Redeemer is laid.

2 Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are shining;
Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall
Sages adore him in slumbers reclining;
Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all.
3 Say, shall they yield him in costly devotion,
Odors of Edom and off 'rings divine ?
Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from tke forest, or gold from the mine 1
4 Vainly they offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gifts would his favor secure,
Richer, by far, is the heart's adoration
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

88* Zion Triumphant*

1 Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness,
'Wake! for thy foes shall oppress thee no more;
Bright o'er the hills, dawns the daystar of gladness,
'Rise ! for the night of thy sorrows is o'er.

2 Strong were thy foes ; but the Arm that subdu'd them
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.

Far beyond the world's alloy,

Think on us who think on thee;
1 Vain, delusive world adieu,
Ev'ry burden'd soul release
With of creature good

Oh, remember Calvary,
Only Jesus I pursue,
And bid us go in peace.
Who bought me with his blood.
All thy pleasure I forego; 2 Through thy blood by faith applied,
All thy wealth and all thy pride, Let sinners pardon feel
Only Jesus will I know, Speak us freely justified,
And Jesus crucified. And all our sickness heal
2 Turning to my rest again, By thy passion on the tree,
The Saviour I adore Let our griefs and troubles cease
He relieves my grief and pain, O remember Calvary,
And bids me weep no more. And bid us go in peace.

93. « He beheld the city and wept over it*"

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 of grace is sunk in night ; thy time of mercy spent

Thy day
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.

And wherei O death, where is thy Angels descend with songs again,

97* Job xxix. 3. 5 When gladness wings myjavor'd

1 Sweet was the time when first I felt hour,
The Saviour's pard'niug blood Thy love my thoughts shall fill
Appli'd to cleanse my soul from guilt, Resign'd, when storms of sorrow low'r
And bring me home to God. My soul shall meet thy will.
2 Soon as the morn the light reveal'd, 6 My lifted eye, without a tear,
His praises tun'd my tongue; The gath'ring storm shall see;
And whenthe evening shade prevail'd My steadfast heart shall knowno fear j
His love was all my song. That heart will rest on thee.

3 In pray'r my soul drew near the 99. Devotional Retreat*

And saw his glory shine [Lord, ; 1 Far from the world, O Lord, I flee,
And when I read his holy word From strife and tumult far; [still
I call'd each promise mine. From scenes where Satan wages
4 But now, when evening shade pre- His most successful war.
My soul in darkness mourns; [vails, 2 The calm retreat, the silent shade.
And when the morn the light reveals, With pray'r and praise agree
No light to me returns. And seem by thy sweet bounty made
5 Rise, Lord, and help me to prevail, For those who follow thee.
And make my soul thy care 3 Then if thy Spirit touch the soul,
I know that mercy cannot fail And grace her mean abode, [love,
Let me that mercy share. Oh, with what peace, and joy, and
98* Meditation*
She there communes with God!

1 While thee I seek,protecting Power! 4 There, like the nightingale, she

Be my vain wishes still'd; Her solitary lays [pours

And may this consecrated hour Nor asks a witness of her song,
With better hopes be fill'd. Nor thirsts for human praise.

2 Thy love the pow'r of thought be- 100. The Request*

stow'd, 1 Father, whate'er of earthly bliss
To thee my thoughts would soar: Thy sov'reign will denies,
Thy mercy o'er my life has flow'd Accepted at thy throne of grace,
That mercy I adore. Let this petition rise

3 In each event of life, how clear 2 " Give me a calm, a thankful heart
Thy ruling hand I see From ev'ry murmur free
Each blessing to my soul most dear, The blessings of thy grace impart,
Because conferr'd by thee. And make me live to thee.
4 In every joy that crowns my days, 3 "Let the sweet hope that I am thine,
In every pain I bear, My life and death attend ;
[shine*
My heart shall find delight in praise, Thy presence thro' my journey
Or seek relief in prayer. And crown my journey's end."

And raise thy hands on high Hark as they soar on high,

Tell all the world thy joys, What music fills the air!
And shout salvation nigh; Their anthems say,

While rays divine He rose to-day."

With beams which cannot fade; And send the echo round
His all-resplendent grace The globe on which you dwell

The nations round " Jesus, who bled
Thy form shall view Hath left the dead
With lustre new No more to die."
Divinely crown'd.

3 In honor to his name,
Reflect that sacred light,
Whosav'st us by thy blood!
And loud that grace proclaim Wide be thy name ador'd,
Which makes thy darkness bright: Thou rising, reigning God
Pursue his praise
With thee we rise,
Till sovereign love
With thee we reign,
In worlds above And empires gain
Thy glory raise.

And o'er our hellish foes While Jesus' fragrant name

High rais'd his conq'ring head Is breath'd on every side
In wild dismay Balmy and rich
The guards around The odors rise,
Fall to the ground, And fill the earth,
And sink away. And reach the skies.
2 Lo the angelic bands
!
, 2 Ten thousand dying souls
In full assembly meet, . Its influence feel —and live
To wait his high commands, Sweeter than vital air
And worship at his feet: The incense they receive
Joyful they come, ,
They breathe anew
And wing their way And rise and sing
From realms of day Jesus, the Lord,
To Jesus' tomb. Their conq'ring King.

105. Weeping Penitence. 5 Lord, we adore thy ways,

1 Did Christ o'er sinners weep To bring us near to God, [grace,

And shall our tears be dry ? Thy sovereign power, thy healing
Let floods of penitential grief And thy atoning blood.
Burst forth from ev'ry eye.

2 The Son of God in tears, 1 How will my heart endure
The wond'ring angels see The terrors of that day, [Judge
Be thou astonish'd, O my soul When earth and heaven before the
He shed those tears for thee! Astonish'd shrink away

106, Rest for the Weary. 2 But ere that trumpet shakes
1 O, where shall rest be found, The mansions of the dead, [sound,
Rest for the weary soul Hark! from the Gospel's cheering
Twere vain the ocean's depths to What joyful tidings spread!
Or pierce to either pole, [sound,
3 Ye sinners, seek his grace,
i The world can never give Whose wrath ye cannot bear;
The bliss for which we sigh : Fly to the shelter of his cross,
'Tis not the whole oflife to live, And find salvation there.
Nor all of death to die.
4 So shall that curse remove,
3 Beyond this vale of tears By which the Saviour bled ;
There is a life above, And the last awful day shall pouf
Unmeasur'd by the flight of years— His blessings on your head.
And all that life is love.

1 Jesus,who knows full well

Over our souls arise

2 He bows his gracious ear—
To meet the Wrath of heav'n;
We never plead in vain
Then let us wait till he appeal*,
But, in his righteousness arf ay'd,
We see our sins forgiv'n. And pray, and pray again.

3 Unholy and impure 3 Jesus, the Lord, will hear

Are all our thoughts and ways His chosen when they cry ;
His hands infected nature cure Yes, tho' he may a while forbear,
With sanctifying grace; He'll help them fro-n on high.

4 The powers of hell agree 4 Then let us earnest cry,

To hold our souls in vain And never faint in pray'r :

He sets the sons of bondage free, He he hears, and from on high

sees,
And breaks the cursed chain. Will make our cause his care.

Is laid for :

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 thy God, and will give thee his aid:

is

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.

1 Happy thy days are ending,
soul, ) Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All thy mourning days below; All to leave and follow thee;
Go, by angel guards attending, Naked, poor, despised, forsaken,
Tothe sight of Jesus, go. Thou from hence my All shalt be.
Waiting to recieve thy spirit, Let the world neglect and leave me:
See, the Saviour stands above They have left my Saviour too;
Shows the fulness of his merit; Humanhopes have oft deceiv'd me:
Reaches out the crown of love. Thou art faithful, thou art true.
2 For the joy he sets before thee,
2 Perish earthly fame and treasure,
Bear a momentary pain; Come disaster, scorn and pain ;
Die, to live a life of glory In thy service pain is pleasure
Suffer, with thy Lord to reign With thy favor life is gain.
Struggle through thy latest passion Oh 'tis not in grief to harm me,
!

To the dear Redeemer's breast While thy bleeding love I see

To his uttermost salvation, Oh 'tis not in joy to charm me,
!

To his everlasting rest. When that love is hid from me.

Pain, and death, and night, and an- Pleasure's false enchantment loving,
Enter not the world above. Tguish When will thy delusion cease!
While in darkness ye are straying, Once, like thee, by joys surrounded,
I could kneel at pleasure's shrine
Lonely, in the deep'ning shade :

Glory's brightest beams are playing Then my brightest hopes were boun-
Round th' immortal spirit's head. By delights as false as thine, [ded,

2 O, ye mourners cease to languish

O'er the grave of those ye love; When thatfleeting day was o'er;[me
Far remov'd from pain and anguish, Then the world that had caress'd me,
They are chanting hymns of love: Charm'd me with its smiles no more
Light and peace at once deriving Such is pleasure's transient story
From the hand of God most high, Lasting happiness is known,
In his glorious presence living, Only in the path to glory
They shall never, never die. In the Saviour's love alono

1 Come, Holy Spirit, come, 1 When gloomy doubts and fears
Let thy bright beams arise ; The trembling heart invade,
Dispel the sorrow from our minds, And all the face of nature wears
The darkness from our eyes. A universal shade
2 Convince us of our sin; 2 Thy presence can assuage,
Then lead to Jesus' blood The tempest of the soul [rage, :

And to our wond'ring view reveal Tbe billows, Lord, shall cease to
The secret love of God. At thy divine control.

3 'Tis thine to cleanse the heart 3 Through life's bewilder'd way,

To sanctify the soul— Thy hand unerring leads ; [ray
To pour fresh life in every part. While o'er the path full many a
And new create the whole. Its cheering lustre sheds.
4 Revive our drooping faith i Where reason, tir'd and blind,
Our doubts and fears remove; Sinks helpless and afraid,
And kindle in our hearts the flame There,blest Supporter of the mind,
Of never-dying love. How pow'rful is thy aid.
119. Prayer for the Spiritt me feel that pow'r,
5 O, let
1 Come, gracious Spirit, come And find the sweet relief;
With energy divine To cheer my every gloomy hour
And on this poor benighted soul And charm my every grief.
With beams of mercy shine.
122. Death of Sin "by the Cross.
2 Oh, melt this frozen heart Shall we go
on in sin,
1
This stubborn will subdue Because thy grace abounds,
These evil passions overcome, Or crucify the Lord again,
And form my soul anew. And open all his wounds ?
3 Mine will the blessing be 2 Forbid it, mighty God!

But thine be all the praise; Nor let it e'er be said

And unto thee will I devote That we, whose sins are crucifi'd,
The remnant of my days, Should raise them from the dead.

120. Prayer for the Spirit. 3 We will be slaves no more,

1 O, Comforter divine !
Since Christ has made us free;
Let beams of heavenly love Has nail'd our tyrants to his cross,
Amid our gloom and darkness And bought our liberty
To raise our souls above, [shine, 133. Doxology.
2 By thy inspiring breath Ye angels round the throne,
Make every cloud of care, And saints that dwell below,
And e'en the gloomy vale of death Worship the Father,praise the Son ;

A amile of glory wear. And bless the Spirit too.

Which from repentance Aoav ! And bid the tempter flee;

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
favor : ; 'tis infinite
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»

135* Praise* 2 What transports doth his name

1 Let every creature join
To angels now afford
His glorious titles they proclaim
To praise th' eternal God; " A Saviour, Christ, the Lord."
Ye heavenly hosts the song begin,
And sound his name abroad. 3 Glory to God on high
We hail the happy morn
2 Thou sun with golden beams,
And moon with paler rays,
We join the chorus of the sky,
Ye starry lights,ye twinkling flames
And sing —the Saviour's born.
Shine to your Maker's praise. 13 S. Christian Unity*
3 He built those worlds above, 1 Let party names no more
And wond'rous frame
fix'd their The Christian world overspread
By his command they stand or move Gentile and Jew, and bond and free
And ever speak his name. Are one in Christ their head.

4 By all his works above, 2 Among the saints on earth,

His honors be exprest ; [love, Let mutual love be found
But saints, that taste his saving Heirs of the same inheritance,
Should sing his praises best. With mutual blessings crown'd.
136. Birth of Christ. 3 Thus will the Church below,
Behold the grace appear! Resemble that above, [flow,
i
The blessing promis'd long Where streams of pleasure ever
Angels announce the Saviour near, And ev'ry heart is love.
In their triumphant song.
139. A Morning Hymn*
2 Glory to God on high,

And heav'nly peace on earth; 1 Serene, I laid me down

Beneath guardian care
his
Good will to men, to angels joy,
I slept, and I awoke, and found
At the Redeemer's birth."
My kind Preserver near '.

3 In worship so divine
Let men employ their tongues 2 Thus does thine arm support
With the celestial host we join, This weak, defenceless frame
And loud repeat their songs. But whence these favors, Lord, to
All worthless as I am ? [me,
4 " Glory to God on high,
And heav'nly peace on earth 3 O how shall I repay
Good will to men, to angels joy, The bounties of my God ?
At our Redeemer's birth." This feeble spirit pants beneath
13T. The Saviour's Birth. The pleasing, painful load.
1 We come with joyful song 4 My life I would anew
To hail the happy morn 5>evote, O Lord, to thee
Glad tidings from an angel's tongue, And in thy service I would spend
*' Tbirt day is Jesus born."
A long eternity.

Heav'n and earth before him fly Tabor's glorious steep I climb,
Rise, ye saints, he comes for you;
At the too transporting light,
Rise to meet him in the sky. Darkness rushes o'er my sight.
Go and dwell with him above,

150. Psalm txiii «

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. 7 9 8«

" Tell me, thou whom my soul loveth, where lliou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest «t
O
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

"Ho ! ye despairing sinners come,

And trust th" atoning Lord/'

I would believe thy promise, Lord, How precious did that grace appear,
Help thou my unbelief. The hour I first believ'd!

[far,
Here I would cleanse my guilty soul 'Tis grace that brought me safe thus
From sins of deepest dye. And grace will lead me home.

168. Immediate Repentance. 170. Tiie Bible.

1 Repent, the voice celestial cries,
Nor longer dare delay 1 Father of mercies, in thy word
;

The soul that scorns the mandate dies, What endless glory shines !

And meets the wrathful day. For ever be thy name ador'd,
For these celestial lines.
2 No more the
sovereign eye of God
O'erlooks the crimes of men;
2 Here may the wretched sons of want
Exhaustless riches find
He sends his messengers abroad,
Riches above what earth can grant
To warn the world of sin.
And lasting as the mind.
3 Ye
sinners in his presence bow,
3 Here the Redeemers welcome voice
And
all your guilt confess
Spreads heav'nly peace around
Accept the offer'd Saviour now,
And life, and everlasting joys
Nor trifle with his grace.
Attend the blissful sound.
.
4 Soon will the awful trumpet sound, 4 O, may these heav'nly pages be
And call you to his bar 3Iy ever dear delight;
For mercy knows th* appointed bound And still new beauties may I see,
And yields to vengeance there. And still increasing light
5 O ! listen to the Saviour's call, 5 Divine Instructor, gracious Lord,
While he prolongs your days ;
[fall, Be thou for ever near,
Now yield your hearts, and prostrate Teach me to love thy sacred word,
Ani weep, and love, and praise. And view my Saviour there.

The praise of our salvation. For that high prize
Which thou hast set before us

Through deserts of temptation We then, like dying Stephen
Nor will we fear, Shall see thee stand

Brightly thou art breaking, -
Haste thee on
Holy joys, thy light is waking: Like the sun,
Morn of Zion's glory. Paths of splendor tracing,
Ancient saints foretold thee, Heathen midnight chasing.
Seraph angels glad behold thee 3 Morn of Zion's glory
Far and wide, Now the night is riven;
See them glide; Now the star is high in heaven
Streams of rich salvation Morn of Zion's glory.
Flow to every nation. Joyful hearts are bounding,
2 Morn of Zion's glory Hallelujahs now are sounding;
Every human dwelling Peace with men
With thy notes of joy is swelling: Dwells again;
Morn of Zion's glory. Jesus reigns for ever
Distant hills are ringing, Jesus reigns for ever!

Haste, O, sinner, to be wise,

Stay not for the morrow's sun! Ere this evening's work is done.

Pilgrim thro' this barren land Strong Deliv'rer, [shield.

Whence the healing waters flow Songs of praises
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar I will ever give to thee.

191. Praise for a Revival. 3 Justly might thy vengeful dart

1 Fount of everlasting love Pierce this bleeding, broken heart
Rich thy streams of mercy are, Justly might thy angry breath
Flowing purely from above Blast me in eternal death.
Beauty marks their course afar.
4 But with thee there may be found
2 Lo thy Church, thy garden now,

Balm to heal my every wound ;
Blooms beneath the heav'nly show'r; Soothe,0 soothethetroubled breast
Sinners feel, and melt, and bow; Give the weary wand'rer rest.
Mild, yet mighty is thy pow'r.
191. Resurrection.
3 God of grace before thy throne,
!
1 Morning breaks upon the tomb,
Here our warmest thanks we bring; Jesus scatters all its gloom ;
Thine the glory, thine alone Day of triumph through the skies,
Loudest praise to thee we sing.
See the glorious Saviour rise
4 Hear, O hear our grateful song; 2 Ye who are of death afraid,
Let thy Spirit still descend Triumph in the scatter'd shade ;
Roll the tide of grace along, Drive your anxious cares away :

Wid'ning, deep'ning to the end. See the place where Jesus lay.
182. Prayer for the Holy G-liost. 3 Christian, dry your flowing tears,
1 Holy Ghost, with light divine, Chase your unbelieving fears;
Shine upon this heart of mine; Look on his deserted grave
Chase the shades of night away, Doubt no more his pow'r to save.
Turn the darkness into day. ;

195. Seeking a Messing onPiib"

2 Holy Ghost, with pow'r divine, lie Worsliip.
Cleanse this guilty heart of mine 1 In thy presence we appear;
Long has sin, without control, Lord, we lofe to worship here
Held dominion o'er my soul. When within the veil we meet
3 Holy Ghost, with light divine,
Thee upon thy mercy seat.
Dwell within his heart of mine ; 2 While thy glorious name is sung,
Cast down every idol throne, Touch our lips, unloose our tongue,
Reign supreme, and reign alone. Then our joyful souls shall bless
193. Confession. Thee, the Lord our righteousness.

. 1 Sov'reign Ruler, Lord of all, 3 While to thee our pray'rs ascend,

Prostrate at thy feet I fall Let thine ear in love attend

Hear, O hear my earnest cry, Hear us, when thy Spirit pleads,
Frown not, lest I faint and die. Hear, for Jesus intercedes.

\ Vilest of the sons ofmen, 4 While thy word is heard with awe,
Chief of sinners I have been; And we tremble at thy law,
Oft abus'd thee to thy face, Let the gospel's wond'rous love
Trampled on thy richest grace. All our doubts and fears remove*

1 Haste thee, sinner, haste away, 3 Haste thee, sinner, haste away,
Vengeance is at hand Ere the tempest falls!
From destruction quickly flee, Now the warning voice obey,
Flee at God's command While the Spirit calls :

Nor more inquire. For refuge fly

Lo! the city's doom is seal'd; In the fate of Sodom see,
Wrath from heav'n shall be reveal'd What may quickly come to thee :

In liquid lire Why wilt thou die!

2 Haste thee, sinner, haste away 4 Haste thee, sinner, haste away,
From the o'erwhelining rain ! While 'tis mercy's hour ;
Break at once thy long delay, Harden not thy heart to-day,
Stay not in the plain! Through the tempter's power
In threatening form, O, turn and live
See the clouds above thy head, Jesus is the hiding place,
All around their folds are spread, Flee to him, and trust his grace
O, flee the storm He will forgive.

And let the tenants of the rock, in accent rude rejoice.

And joyful from the mountain tops, shout to the Lord, the King :

Till in remotest bounds of earth, the nations sound his praise.

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.

1 Wretched, helpless and distress'd Polluted still thou art;
Ah whither shall I fly? God is faithful, just and true,
Ever panting after rest, But thou art vile in heart
Where shall I turn mine eye ? Yield thee now; no more repine,
Naked, sjck, and poor, and blind, Own the justice of tby doom;
Fast bound in sin and misery To the Lord thyself resign,

2 Jesus, full of truth and grace, Pardon.
Oh hear my sad complaint 2 Saviour, Prince, enthron'd above
Be the wand'rer's resting place, Repentance to impart,
A cordial for the faint: Give me, through thy dying love,
Make me rich, for I am poor, The humble, contrite heart:
Let me now thy presence find; Teach me by thy gracious word,
To the dying, health restore, My guilt and danger here to own,
And eyesight to the olind. Turn and look upon me, Lord,
And break my heart of stone,
3 Fill my soul with heav'nly peace,
With pure humility 2 See me, Saviour, from above,
Clothe mewith tby righteousness, Nor suffer me to die;

Endue my soul with thee Life,and happiness, and love,

Let thine image be restor'd, Beam from thy gracious eye*
Let me thy forgiveness prove, Speak the reconciling word,
Fill me with thy fulness, Lord, And thy melting love make known,
For boundless is thy love. Turn and look upon me, Lord,
And break my heart of stone.
335. Conviction of Sin, 3 Look, as when thy languid ey%
1 Conscious of my ruin'd state, Was clos'd that we might live—
Ah, whither shall I go; When thy supplicating cry
All within is desolate, —
To God, was heard " forgive":
While all without is woe : Surely, with that dying word,
If toheav'n I turn my eye, My Saviour turns and says 'tis
There a frowning Judge appears; O, my bleeding,loving Lord, [done*

Have not led my soul to heav'n Thine the praise for evermore,
Of caus'd me to repent. O, God of life and light.

Must shortly fade awav To keep us still thy own.

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.

What wonders thy mercy can prove.

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,

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.

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, 2 He'll give his angels charge to keep
Or if the plague come nigh Your feet in all your ways,
And sweep the wicked down to hell, To watch your pillow when you sleep
'Twill raise the saints on high. And guard your happy days.

2 O, ye saints, sing praises, 2 Author, of creation,

Call his love to mind. When thy work was done,
For a moment angry, Shouts of exultation
But for ever kind Echo'd round thy throne
Grief may like a pilgrim Morning stars were ringing
Through the night sojourn, Through the vault above,
Tet shall joy to-morrow, Sons of God were singing
With the sun return. Of thy pow'r and love.

266. Trust in God. 3 Author of salvation,

1 God of our salvation, When our sinful race,
Unto thee we pray; Sunk in desolation,

Hear our supplication, Fell in death's embrace,

Be our strength and stay; Then thy love hung bleeding,
Wretched and unworthy, On the cross to die !

Poor, and sick, and blind, Love, still interceding,

Prostrate we adore thee, Fills thy courts on high.
Call thy grace to mind.
168* Consolation*
2 He thatdwelleth near thee
Safely shall abide 1 Why that look of sadness ?
Ever love and fear thee, Why that downcast eye ?
In thy strength confide : Can no thought of gladness
Sure is thy protection, Lift thy soul on high ?
Safe is thy defence, O, thou heir of heaven,
While in deep affliction, Think of Jesus' love,
Woe or pestilence. While to thee is given,
All his grace to prove.
3 God of our salvation,
Saviour, Prince of peace, 2 Is thy burden'd spirit
Boundless thy compassion, Agoniz'd for sin?
Infinite thy grace: Think of Jesus' merit;
While with love unceasing, He can make thee clean
Humbly we adore, Think of Calv'ry's mountain
Grant us thy rich blessing, Where his blood was spilt,
And we ask no more. In that precious fountain,

Lore
Wash away thy guilt.
$367. to God*
1 Lord of life and glory, 3 Is thy spirit drooping 7
Infinite in power, Is the tempter near ?
Standing now before thee, Still in Jesus hoping,

Trembling we adore What hast thou to fear?

Angels shout thy praises Set the prize before thee,
Through the realms above, Gird thy armor on :

While each song that rises, Heir of grace and glory,

Tells that God is love. Struggle foi thy crown.

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.

272. Aspiring after Heaven. 2 The joyful scene before us,
1 From ev'ry earthly pleasure, How faint a type of heav'n,
From ev'ry transient joy, Where now th' angelic chorus
From ev'ry mortal treasure Breathe soft as dews of ev'n;
That soon will fade and die : Anon with rapture swelling,
No longer these desiring, Their loudest anthems raise,
Upward our wishes tend, While love, each bosom filling,
To nobler bliss aspiring, Pours forth its notes of praise !

And joys that never end. 3 The joyful scene before us

2 From ev'ry piercing sorrow This heav'nly aspect wears,
That heaves our breast to-day, If Jesus but restore us,
Or threatens us to-morrow The image that he bears:
Hope turns our eyes away; Thou heav'nly Bridegroom hear us,
On wings of faith ascending, While fervently we pray
We see the land of light; And be thou ever near us,
And feel our sorrows ending
In life's bewild'ring way.
In infinite delight.
3 'Tis true we are but strangers 4 The joyful scene before us
Shall bring no blighting cares
And sojourners below
And countless snares and dangers No perils to devour us,

Surround the path we go If Jesus' love appears:

Though painful and distressing, Then shall the happy union,

There is a rest above, This evening we behold,
And onward we are pressing Be like that blest communion
To reach that land of love.
Which tunes the harps of gold.

273. For a Christian Marriage. Doxology*

L The joyful scene before us To Father, Son, and Spirit,
Demands a thankful song, Eternal praise be giv'n,
While angels hov'ring o'er us, By all that earth inherit,
May mingle the throng
in : And all that dwell in heav'n:
How lovely, how resplendent Thou triune God before thee,
!

Must those bright regions be, Our inmost souls adore :

Where now they shine transcendent Who and hast been worthy,
art
Jn heavenly parity And shalt be evermore.

1 Why sinks my soul, desponding 1 1 O, Sacred Head, now Wounded
Why my eyes with tears ?
fill With grief and pain weigh'd
While nature surrounding,
all How scornfully surrounded [down.
The smile of beauty wears. With thorns, thy only crown
Why burden'd still with sorrow O, Sacred Head, what glory,
Is ev'ry lab' ring thought 1 What bliss till now was thine
Each vision that I borrow Yet, though despis'd and gory,
With gloom and sadness fraught' I joy to call thee mine.

2 The pleasures that -deceived me, 2 How art thou pale with anguish,
My soul no more can charm With sore abuse and scorn \
Of rest they have bereavM me, How does that visage languish
And fill'd me with alarm; Which once was bright as mora
The objects I have cherish'd Thy grief and thy compassion 1

Are empty as the wind; Were, all for sinners' gain

My earthly joys are perish'd, Mine, mine was the transgression,
What comfort shall I find 1 But thine the deadly pain.
3 If in ward still inquiring 3 What language shall I borrow
I turn my searching eye, To praise thee, heav'nly Friendj
Or upward now aspiring, For this, thy dying sorrow,
I raise my feeble cry, Thy pity without end
No heaVnly light is beaming Lord, make me thine for ever,
To cheer my troubled breast, Nor let me faithless prove
No ray of comfort gleaming O let me never, never
To give my spirit rest. Abuse such dying love.

4 My soul, from this dread anguish 4 Forbid that I should leave thee
Is there no refuge nigh ? O Jesus, leave not me;
makes thee languish,
'Tis guilt that By faith, I would receive thee
And leaves thee thus to die : Thyblood can make me free;
Renounce thy sin and folly When strength and comfort lan-
Before the throne of grace, And I must hence depart; [guish,
And make the Lord, most holy, Release me then from anguish,
Thy strength and righteousness. Bv thine own wounded heart.

Which breaks upon the ear; Our help in times of deep distress
When at the hour of rising day Is found in God alone.
Christians unite in prayer.

Up to Jehovah's throne Our hearts in Christian love
He listens to their bursting sighs, The fellowship of kindred minds,
And sends his blessings down. Is like to that above.

3 So Jesus rose to pray,

2 Before our Father's throne
Before the morning light
Wepour our ardent prayers ;
Once on the chilling mount did stay Our fears, our hopes.our aims are one,
And wrestle all the night. Our comforts and our cares.
A Glory to God on high
3 We share our mutual woes
Who sends his blessings down, Our mutual burdens bear

303. Prayer for all lands.
4 When we asunder part,
1 O Lord of sovereign grace, It gives us inward pain;
We bow before thy throne But we shall still be join'd in heart,
And plead for all the human race, And hope to meet again.
The merits of thy Son.
5 This glorious hope revives
2 Spread through the earth, O Lord,
Our courage by the way;
The knowledge of thy ways
While each in expectation lives,
And let all lands with joy record,
The great Redeemer's praise. And longs to see the day.

304:* Forgiveness*
And sin, we shall be free;
1 O blessed souls are they And perfect love and friendship reign
Whose sins are cover' d o'er!
Through all eternity.
Divinely blest, to whom the Lord
Imputes their guilt no more 306* Psalm cxvii.

2 They mourn their follies past, \ Thy name, almighty Lord,

And keep their hearts with care Shall sound through distant lands
Their lips andlives,without deceit, Great is thy grace, and sure thy word
Shall prove their faith sincere. Thy truth for ever stands,
3 While I conceal'd my guilt, 2 Far be thine honor spread,
I felt the festering wound And long thy praise endure,
Till I confess'd my sins to thee, Till morning light and evening shade
And ready pardon foundt Shall be exchang'd no more,

;

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.

By heaviest griefs oppress'd,
And taste of heavenly joys?
My days of happiness are gone,
Our souls shall bow,
And I am left to weep alone.
Our hearts shall break,
Our tongues shall speak,
2 Where can the mourner go
Our tears shall flow*
And tell his tale of grief ?
Ah I who can soothe his woe,
And give him sweet relief? 4 O Lord, we will believe;
Earth cannot heal the wounded breast Apply thy pard'ning blood;
Nor give the troubled sinner rest. Our guilty souls receive,
And wash them in that flood
3 Jesus, thy smiles impart We will be thine
My dearest Lord, return This blessed hour,
And ease my wounded heart, And evermore
And bid me cease to mourn Our souls resign.

foilow'd
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. No waves of tribulation

Disturb their gladd'ning course
1 God is my
strong salvation, The Rock of our salvation,
What foe have I to fear ? Is the unfailing Source.
Id darkness and temptation,
My light, my help is near: 4 God in the midst is dwelling;
Though hosts encamp around me,
Mount Zion shall not move :
Firm to the fight. I stand
Her streams of grace are swelling,
What terror can confound me,
With God at my right hand.
A tide of boundless love
Her foes so late conspiring,
Tumultuous in noise,
2 Place on the Lord reliance,
Like angry waves retiring,
My soul with courage wait j Have melted at his voice.
His truth be thine affiance,
When faint and desolate
His might,thine heart shall strengthen 5 The Lord of hosts is with us,
His love, thy joy increase; The God of Jacob near;
Mercy thy days shall lengthen, With his strong arm beneath us,

The Lord will give thee peace. Our souls shall never fear
Our refuge is most glorious!
Be still ; for he is God
331* God our Refuge. Ps. xlvi.
His cause shall be victorious,
Earth trembles at his nod.
1 O God of our salvation,
Our refuge in distress,
Our strength and consolation, 339* Sabbath School Celebra-
Secure us by thy grace tion.
While in thy peace abiding,
While thou thyself art near 1 While India's sons and daughters,
In thy strong arm confiding, Their idol gods adore ;
We shall not yield to fear. And Ganges sacred waters
Are stain'd with human gore •

2 Though earth were in commotion, While darkness, sin, and folly,

Though mountains high were cast The heathen world ensnare
Into the depths of ocean, Thy name, OLord, most holy,
Amid the stormy blast Shall Chiistian lands declare.
The billows loud and raging,
In vain their foam would pour; 2 We tune our feeble praises
Thy voice, the wrath assuaging To Him who rules the earth,
Would still the tempest's roar. For all the light that blazes
Around our plaee of birth
3 There is a peaceful river, This day its waving banner
Descending from on high, The Sahbath School displays:
Whose streams are pure for ever, Young children shout hosanna,
Whose waters cannot dry And infants sing bis praise.

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 Immanuel's name

O tremble, ye monsters of sin!
fugitives,
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.

Thy throne was fix'd on high, Such streams of pleasure roll
Before the starry sky : Thro' every friendly soul,
Eternal is thy kingdom, Lord. Where love like heavenly dew distils.

See him high in glory rise
I Soft and holy is the place, [heav'n,
Hosts of angels on the road,
Where the light that beams from
Hail him, the incarnate God
Shows the Saviour's smiling face,
With the joy of sin forgiv'n. 4 Heav'n unfolds its portals wide:
See the Conq'ror through them ride
t There with one accord we meet* King of Glory! mount thy throne,
All the words of life to hear, Boundless empire is thine own.
Bending low at Jesus' feet, 5 Praise him all ye heavenly choirs,
Worshipping with godly fear. Tune and sweep your golden lyres
Praise him in the noblest songs,
3 Let the world and all its cares,
Praise him from ten thousand tongues
Now retire from every breast;
Let the tempter and his snares, 353. Song of Angels.
Cease to hinder or molest. 1 Hark the herald angels sing,
!

" Glory to the new born King;

4 Precious Sabbath of the Lord,
Peace on earth and mercy mild
Fairest type of heav'n above,
God and sinners reconcil'd."
Purest joy thy scenes afford
To the heart that's tun'd to love. 2 Joyful all ye nations rise,
Join the triumphs of the skies
352. Resurrection of Christ* With th' angelie host proclaim,
" Christ is born in Bethlehem."
1 Angels roll the rock away,
Death yields up his mighty prey, 3 Mild he lays his glories by,
See he rises from the tomb,
!
Born that man no more may die
Cloth'd in heaven's immortal bloom! Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
2 'Tis the Saviour seraphs, raise
!
4 Hail the heav'n bornPrince of Peace
Your triumphant songs of praise ; Hail the Sun of Righteousness !

Let the earth's remotest bound, Light and life to man he brings,
Hear the joy-inspiring sound. Ris'n with healing in his wings.

Stands on yon celestial shore. Hear thy people's supplications,
Now for their deliv'rance rise.

There the just in shining raiment, Hear us, fasting, praying, mourn-

Hear us, spare us, and defend.

Tho' its cold dark waters rise Tho' our sins, our hearts confound-

Thou hast mercy more abounding,

While his flesh to dust is turning,

358* In Sickness. Remember' d songs of gladness

Thro' night's lone silence brought,
1 Before thy footstool kneeling, Make notes of deeper sadness,
O, Lord to thee we cry And stir desponding thought.
While for thy gift of healing,
Weraise our voice on high :
3 Has God cast off for ever ?
Diseases and afflictions
Can time his truth impair?
Thy ready servants are-, His tender mercy, never
Chastisements and corrections
Shall I presume to share ?
To quicken us in prayer. Hath he his loving kindness
Shut up in endless wrath ?
2 We own our guilt and folly, No : 'tis but human blindness
But thou canst still forgive That cannot see his path.
And thou, most high and holy,
Canst bid the sick revive
4 Thy way is in great waters,
Though now cast down in sorrow,
Thy footsteps are unknown ;
In darkness and distress
Let Adam's sons and daughters
Joy may return to-morrow,
Confide in thee alone :
Through thy restoring grace.
Thy deeds, O Lord, are wonder,
Holy are all thy ways
3 As suppliants now before thee, The secret place of thunder
Beside affliction's bed Shall utter forth thy praise.
Physician,we adore thee,
And trembling ask thine aid 360* Repentance*
Before thy footstool kneeling,
To thee, to thee we cry; Before thy cross lamenting,
Send down thy gift of healing. My Saviour I would lie,
Our souls on thee rely. Of all my sins repenting,
That caus'd my Lord to die

359. Psalm lxxvii. My soul with tears of anguish,

Her follies would confess
1 In time of tribulation O ! while in pain I languish
Hear, Lord, my feeble cries, Restore me by thy grace.
With humble supplication
To thee my spirit flies Doxology.
My heart with grief is breaking,
Scarce can my voice complain To Father, Son, and Spirit,
My eyes with tears kept waking, Eternal praise be giv'n,
Still watch and weep in vain By all that earth inherit,
And all that dwell in heav'n
3 The days of old in vision Thou triune God before thee, !

firing vanish'd bliss to view, Our inmost souls adore

The years of lost fruition, Who art and hast been worthy*
Tbeir joy* in pangs renew: And Shalt be everraoape

Tell me a thousand frightful things
My God in safety makes me dwell 3 Cheerful we tread the desart thro*,
While faith inspires a heavenly ray,
Beneath the shadow of his wings.
Tho' lions roar, and tempests blow,

1 My gracious Redeemer I love, 1 The happy in Jesus may rest,

His praises aloud I'll proclaim,
But O, till in me he appears,
And join with the armies above, I mourn, by his absence oppress'd.
To chant his adorable name And water my couch with my
tears
To gaze on his glories divine,
Shall be my eternal employ
Ye watchmen of Israel declare,
If ye my Beloved have seen,
To see them incessantly shine,
My boundless, ineffable joy. And point to that heavenly Fair,
Surpassing the children of men.

To live on the smiles of my God,
In God our salvation rejoice
And sweet presence to dwell
in his
In psalms of thanksgiving record,
To
shine with the angels of light,
His praise with one spirit and voice
With saints and with seraphs to sing,
Jehovah is King, and he reigns
To view with eternal delight
The God of all gods on his throne,
My Jesus, my Saviour, my King.
The strength of the hills he maintains,
3 Ye palaces, sceptres and crowns, The ends of the earth are his own.
Your pride with disdain I survey 2 O come, let us worship and kneel,
Your pomps are but shadows and Before our Creator, our God,
sounds, The people who serve him with zeal,
That pass in a moment away; The sheep who his pastures have
The crown that my Saviour be- trod:
stows, To him let us hearken to-day, [bove^
Yon permanent sun will outshine The voice that yet speaks from a*
;

My joy everlastingly flows, And all his commandments obey,

My God, my Redeemer is mine. For he that hath giv'n them is love.

Who hath not lost a friend 1 World, with thy cares away
There is no union here of hearts, Silence and darkness reign around.
That finds not here an end. But soon the break of day—
Were this frail world our final rest, The resurrection dawn appears,
Living or dying, none were blest. To shine upon this scene of tears.

2 Beyond the flight of time, 2 Behold the bed of death,

Beyond the reign of death, This pale and lovely clay,
There surely is some blessed clime> Heard ye the sob of parting breath!
Where life is not a breath, Mark'd ye the eye's last ray 1
Nor life's affections transient fire, No !life so Sweetly ceased to be,
Whose sparks fly upward and ex- It lapsed in immortality.

3S4. The Sablmtli. 385* SabbatkEvenliis.

1 Lord of the Sabbath and its light: 1 Another day has pass'd along,
I hail thy hallowed day of rest And we are nearer to the tomb;
It is my weary soul's delight, Nearer, to join the heav'nly song,
The solace of my care-worn breast. Or hear the last eternal doom.

2 Its dewy morn, its glowing noon, 2 Sweet is the light of Sabbath eve,
Its tranquil eve, its solemn night. And soft the sun beams ling'ring
Pass sweetly; but they pass too soon, there,
And leave me sadden'd at this flight. For these blest hours, the world I
leave,
3 Yet, sweetly as they glide along, Wafted on wings of faith and prayer*
And hallowed tho' the calm they
yield, 3 The time, how lovely and how still!
Transporting though their rapturous Peace shines and smiles on all below
song, The plain, the stream, the wood, the
And heav'nly visions seem re- hill,

veal'd. All fair with evening's setting glow.

4 My soul is desolate and drear, 4 Season of rest! the tranquil soul

My silent harp untuned remains, Feels the sweet calm, and melts m
Unless, my Saviour, thou art near, love
To heal my wounds, and soothe my And while these sacred moments roll-
pains. Faith sees a smiling heav'n above-

50 Jesus, ever let me hail, 5 Nor will our days of toil be long,
Thy presencewith thy day of rest, Our pilgrimage will soon be trodj
'Then will thy servant never fail And we shall join the ceaseless song,
f*o deem thy Sabbath doubly blest. The endless Sabbath of our God.

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.

As they pass through the skies Such off 'rings of love

As their harps they employ restore,

They find their reward
In the joy of their Lord;
On the height of some heavenly hill.
And what could thy servants have

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 same melody. Generally
different subjects, with the
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 and should not be given out in pub-
effect in dialogue,

lic meetings, without consulting the person who leads tbe singing.

Such pieces as Brightness of Glory, p. 58, the Lord is my Shepherd,

4.

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. Willyou 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 volume that the clergyman might
in the
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-
;

which should be calculated to expose

ject of forgiveness; or to a series
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 suchan 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
firstseven 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.

BASE. TREBLE OR TENOR.

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.
 RUDIMENTS. 3IJ

ASCENDING. DESCENDING.

faw sol law faw sol law mi faw, faw mi law sol faw law sol faw.

e-»- -*-o -
m -
-s^-^-
o

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
uicui in me same general manner.
jii the manner, The i ne sounds orof tne for instance, may be occupied with the
the octave, tor tlie 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.

II. OF NOTES AND RESTS.

Notes are marks of sound: rests are marks of silence. There are in com-

Semibreve. Minim. Crotchet. Quaver. Semiquaver. Demisemiquaver.

The Semibreve equals, in length of time, two Minims, the Minim equals
two Crotchets, the Crotchet two Quavers, the Quaver two Semiquavers,
the Semiquaver two Demisemiquavers.
Notes or Rests, when pointed, receive an addition of one half to their no-

Every piece of music is divided by the single bar, into equal portions of
time, called measures.

Time, with respect to measure, is of three kinds, Common, Triple, and

Compound. In each of these kinds there are three principal varieties.

3. Compound Time is

thus designated

The first variety has two pointed minims, equal to six crotchets, for a

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

• 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.
