KlcaOLAS STREUT, MONTREAL. Jw^ ADVERTISEMENT. The Psalms and Hymns contained in this volume have been selected by the united labours of the Clergy of the Parish of Isling- ton, from various approved Collections. The Editors cannot but express their obligation to the Rev. H. F. Lyte, for per- mitting them to enrich their Selection with several Psalms extracted from his original Versions of the Psalms of David.* It has been the endeavour of the Editors to give the Hymns in their original forms : though it has been difficult, and often impos- sible, to ascertain the authentic versions, amidst the numerous varieties which have appeared. In a few cases, also, alterations, which appeared to have been so generally adopted as to have acquired the character ♦"The Spirit of the Psalms, or the Psalma of David adapted to Christian Worship, by the Rev. H. F. Lyte, M. A., Minister of Lower Brixham." ^O-lLf^ ADVERTISEMENT. of established emendations, have been admit- ted. A systematic arrangement of the Hymns has been adopted, together with Titles and appro- priate Texts for each Hymn, in the hope of assisting those who desire to " sing with the understanding;" (i Cor. xiv. 15.) The Editors humbly trust and pray that the CoUection thus prepared by them, for th6 use of their Congregations, may be blessed by the Great Head of the Church, as a means of animating and leading the adoration of His worshippers; and of thus advancing the edifi- cation of that " Church which He purchased with His own blood." ^ admit- ms has appro- tiope of ith the y that for tho sed by jans of 5f His I edifi- ;hased A INDEX OF FIRST LINES. ^H^J,^^^ "^'^ "^y Saviour bleed ?...... ^^li All hail the power of Jesus' name 150 All hail, victorious Lord Tk All people that on earth do dvveii m AH praise to thee, my God, this night;::;;;;;;;;;**"242 Almighty Father !

This by night his constant joy! Like the pros'prous tree, that grows Where the stream refreshing Hows, He his verdant branch shall spread, Nor his sick'ning leaves shall shed. — See, ah see, a different fate God's obdurate foes await! See them, to his wrath consigned, Fly like chaff before the wind ! When thy Judge, earth, shall come, And to each assign his doom; Say, shall then the impious band With the iust assembled stand?

My God, my heaven, my all ! 4 There shall I bathe my weary soul In seas of heavenly rest. And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast. 141. THE CHRISTIAN PILGRIMS. (7*S.)

Behold, 'tis Jesus Holds the helm and guides the ship ! bpread the sails, and catch the breezes bent to waft us through the deep, To the regions Where the mourners cease to weep ! 2 Though the shore we hope to land on ' Unly by report is known, Yet we freely all abandon, Ud by that report alone ; And with Jesus Through the trackless deep move on. 3 Led by that, we brave the ocean ; Led by that, the storms defy ; Calm amidst tumultuous motion.

Awake, and run the heavenly race, And put a cheerful courage on ! 2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint ; But they forget the mighty God That feeds the strength of every saint.

Let thy griefs be tum'd to gladness, Bid thy restless fears be gone : Look to Jesus I Thou by faith with him art one. 5 HYMN 15L (207) 2 What though Satan's strong temptations Harass thee from day to day, And thy sinful inclinations Often fill thee with dismay ; Thou shalt conquer, Through the Lamb's redeeming blood* 3 Though distresses now attend thee, And thou tread'st the thorny road.

Weeping may endure for a night ^ hut joy cometh in the. morning. — Psalm xxx. 5. 1 COME, let us to the Lord our God With contrite hearts return ! Our God is gracious, nor will leave The desolate to mourn. 2 His voice commands the tempest forth, And stills the stormy wave ; And though his arm be strong to smite, 'Tis also strong to save.

Out of the depths to Thee I call ; My fears are great, my strength is small. 2 O Lord, the pilot's part perform, And guide and guard me thro' the storm ! Defend me from each threat'ning ill ; Control the waves ; say, " Peace ! be still !" 3 Amidst the raging of the sea My soul still hangs her hope on Thee ; Thy constant love, thy faithful care, Is all ^hat saves me from despair. 4 Dangers of every shape and name Attend the followers of the Lamb, Who leave the world's deceitful shore, And leave it to return no more. 5 Though tempest-toss'd, and half a wreck, My (Saviour through the floods I seek : Let neither winds nor stormy main Force back my shatter'd bark again ! 154. SANCTIFIED affliction. (7's.) Whom the Lord loveth, he clmsteneth. — Heb. xii. 6. 1 'TIS my happiness below Not to live without the cross. But the Saviour's power to know. Sanctifying every loss. Trials must and will befal ; But with humble faith to see Love inscrib'd upon them all, This is happiness to mc. (210) HYMN 155. God, in Israel, sows the seeds Of affliction, pain, and toil ; These spring up, and choke the weeds Which would else o'erspread the soil. Trials make the promise sweet ; Trials give new life to prayer ; Trials bring me to his feet ; — Lay me low, and keep me there 1 Did I meet no trials here. No correction by the way. Might I not, with reason fear I should prove a cast-away ? Others may escape the rod, Sunk in earthly, vain delight ; But the true-born child of G od Must not, would not, if he might. 155. THE REFUGE IN TROUBLE. (C.M.) Where is God my Maker, tvho giveth songs in the night? — Job xxxv. 10. 1 O THOU who dry'st the mourner's tear, How dark this world would be. If, when deceiv'd and wounded here, We could not fly to thee ! 2 But thou wilt heal that broken heart. Which, like the plants that throw Their fragrance from the wounded part, Breathes sweetness out of woe. 3 Then sorrow, touch 'd by thee, grows bright With more than rapture's ray ; As darkness shews us worlds of light We never saw by day. HYMNS 156, 157. 156. (211) (cm.) HOPE IN TROUBLE. To die is gain. — Phil. i. 21 . 1 WHEN musing sorrow weeps the past, And mourns the present pain, How sweet to think of peace at last, And feel that death is gain ! 2 'Tis not that murm'ring thoughts arise, And dread a Father's will ; 'Tis not that meek submission flies. And would not suifer still ; 3 It is, that heaven-born faith surveys The paths to realms of light. And longs her eagle plumes to raise. And lose herself in sight. 4 It is, that hope with ardour glows To see Him face to face. Whose dying love no language knows Sufficient art to trace. 5 O let me wing my hallow'd flight From earth-born woe and care. And soar beyond these clouds of night, My Saviour's bliss to share ! 157.
