 A SELECTION 
 
 OF 
 
 OPULAR iYMNS, 
 
 FOR THE USE OF 
 
 SABBATH SCHOOLS. 
 
 HALIFAX : 
 1870. 
 
 f*ri?QM«yJ^?^^fe^?5^5t?^?^s:f^;<?^^'te^^5c^5 
 
A DESIRE to place within the reach of the 
 children of our Church, at a ver}' small cost, 
 a selection of the most popular of the hvmns 
 contained in the many Sabbath-schooi hymn 
 books which have been published during the 
 last few years, has led to the pablication of 
 this little book. While care has been taken to 
 avoid hymns decidedly inferior as regards poetic 
 or devotional merit, the chief aim of the 
 Compiler has been to select those, the music 
 of which had been popular among the children 
 of the school with which he was* for many 
 years connected. 
 
 The great expense necessary in order to 
 place in the hands of every child in our Sab- 
 bath schools a copy of one or more hymn 
 books, costing from 35; to 4Q centa each,,!s an 
 almost insurmountable obstacle to their im- 
 provement in sacred vocal m^^ic. If eacii 
 child has a copy of this little book, those whicii 
 contain the music will be required only by th<: 
 leader. 
 
 The hymns have been selected from the most 
 popular of the books recently published in 
 Britain and the United States ; and in each 
 case the name of the book is given. A few of 
 them are not adapted for use on tlie Lord's 
 day, but these will be found well suited to those 
 festive gatherings in which the children of 
 every Sabbath school delight.

 1. The Cross of Christ. Bateman. 
 
 1 Bound upon th' accursed tree, 
 Faint and bleeding, who is he ? 
 See his eyes so pale and dim ; 
 Streaming blood and writhing limb ; 
 See the flesh with scourges torn ; ' 
 
 ' See the crown of twisted thorn ;' : 
 
 See,the drooping death-dew'd brow,— 
 Son of Man, 'tis Thou ! 'tis Thou ! 
 
 2 Bound upon th' accursed tree, 
 Sad and dying, who is he ? 
 
 Hark ! his prayer for them that slew, 
 '' Lord, they know not what they do." 
 Lo, the sun at noon grown pale ! 
 Rent in twain the temple's vail I 
 Trembling nature knows thee now, 
 Son of Man, 'tis Thou ! 'tis Thou I

 Bright the crown that decks his brow-*.

 2. Children in Heaven. Bateman^ 
 
 1 Around the thVone of God in heav'n, 
 
 Ten thousand children stand, 
 Whose sins are all through Christ forgiv'n, 
 A holy, happy hand. 
 
 Singing glory, glory, ghrry. 
 
 2 What brought thorn to that world above, 
 
 That heaven so bright and fair. 
 Where all is peace, and joy, and love ? — 
 How came these children there ? — Singing, 
 &c. 
 
 3 Because the Saviour shed his blood 
 
 To wash away their sin ; 
 Bathed in that pure and precious flood, 
 Behold them white and clean. — Singing, ^c.

 3. The Church, 2V/V. 
 
 Glorious things of thee are spoken, 
 
 Zion, city of our God ! 
 iHe, whose word cannot be broken, 
 
 Form'd thee for his own abode. 
 'On the Rock of Ages founded, 
 
 What can shake thy sure repose ? 
 With salvation's walls surrounded, 
 
 Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 
 
 See ! the streams of living waters 
 
 Springing from eternal love ; 
 Well supply thy sons and daughters, 
 
 And all fear of want remove. 
 Who can faint while such a river 
 
 Ever flows their thirst t' assuage ; 
 Grace, which, like the Lord, the giver, 
 
 Never fails from age to age ?

 The oil of glaf'ness on our heads ; 
 A plact; thiin all beside more sweet.

 Where friend holds tellowship with friend, 
 Tho' sundered far, by faith they meet 
 Around one common Mercy-seat

 1 Nearer my God, to Thee, 
 
 Nearer to Thee ; 
 Ev'n though it be a cross 
 
 That raiseth me; 
 Still all my song ghall be. 
 Nearer, ray God, to Thee, nearer to Thee. 
 
 2 Though like a wpndcrer, 
 
 The €un gone down, 
 Darkness comes over me, 
 
 My rest a stone ; 
 Yet in my dreams I'd be 
 Nearer, my God, to Thee, neaixir to Thea

 1 When faint and weary toiling, 
 The sweat-drops on my brow, 
 I long to rest from labor, 
 
 To drop the burden now — 
 There comes a gentle chiding 
 
 To quell each mourning sigh : 
 " Work while the day is shining, 
 There's resting by and by." 
 
 Cho.-— Resting by and by. 
 
 There's resting by and by ; 
 We shall not always labor, 
 We shall not always cry ; 
 
 The end is drawing nearer, 
 The end for which we sigh ; 
 
 We'll lay our heavy burdens down. 
 There's resting by and by. 
 
 2 This life to toil is given. 
 
 And he improves it best 
 Who seeks by patient labor 
 
 To enter into rest ; 
 Then, pilgrim, worn and wearv, 
 
 Press on, the goal is nigh ; 
 The prize is straight before thee. 
 
 There's resting by and by. 
 
 3 Wan reaper in the harvest, 
 
 Let this thy strength sustain. 
 Each sheaf that fills the garner 
 
 Brings thee eternal gain ; 
 Then bear the cross with patience.

 Bound for the evergreen shore, 
 Whose inhabitants never of sickness corn-

 And neter see death any more.

 It will the sooner be o'er ; 
 We will weather the blast, and will land at 
 last, 
 
 Safe on the evergreen shore. 
 
 2 Both the winds and the billows our Saviour 
 
 controls ; 
 Nothing can baffle his skill ; 
 And his voice when the thundering hurricane 
 
 rolls, 
 Can make the loud tempest be still.

 shoal, 
 Sink to be seen never more ; 
 He will bear, none the less, every passenger 
 
 soul, 
 Safe, safe to the evergreen shore.
