THE DOMINION HYMNAL FOB SUNDAY-SCHOOL AND SOCIAL WOESHIP. <3 •jtiooiir* .^ •^ ttixmXti : WILLIAM BRIGGS, 78 4 80 KING STREET EAST C. W. COATES. M0»TKKA.. Q« 8. p. HUE8m.'mu,«; «^ lit'-' J PREFACE. A GREAT deal of time hus been spent in the preparation of this small volume of Sacred Song for Sunday Schools throughout the Dominion. It is the Joint product of earnest and experienced workers, both clerical and lay, in the Sunday School department of Christian effort. Not less than ten thousand hymns have been examined by the committee to which this work was com> mitted ; and it would have been to them an easier and much more satisfactory task to prepare a much larger volume, could they have felt Justified in so doing. To keep within reasonable limits ; to introduce a sufficient number of new hymns, and yet retain a fair proportion of old ones, dear to many hearts; to provide for the more thoughtful, and not utterly exclude all hynms of a lighter type ; to meet the wants and tastes of teachers, adult scholars, and children of dif • f erent grades, dovm to that of the infant class ; to provide for the numerous anni- versaries recognized by the Churches ; to introduce nothing of doubtful theology or tendency, and to make the Hymnal suitable for social services without damage to Sabbath-School interests, were among the many considerations steadily ke*>t in view by the committee. A Tune Book, with a tune adapted to every hymn in the Hymnal, has also V)een prepared by another committee. The music is issued simultaneously with the publication of the hymns. In the examination of the music it will be very apparent that the right hand of one, who by previous musical compilations placed the Church under no small obligation, has not forgot its cunning. Both Hymnal and Tune Book are so paged as to make it easy to find the hynm in the fine and the music in the other, without reference to Index. May this volume, prepared and published by authority of the General Conference of the Methodist ( !hurch, be rendered a great blessing to thousands throughout the Dominion of Canada. Toronto, 1888. THE PUBLISHERS. Eutered, according to the Act of the Parliament of Canada. In the year one thounnd el|^t hundred and eighty-three, by the Rev. WiLUAM BUOGS. in the olftoe of the Minister of Agriculture, Ottawa. 7 //^9 SUNDAY-SCHOOL HYMNAL 1 PraUe to the Redeemer. [1 OFOR a thousand tongues to B\ng My groat Redeemer's praise, The glories of my Ood and King, The triumphs of his graco ! 2 My gracious Master and my God, Assist me to proclaim, [abroad To spread through all the earth The honours of thy Name. 3 Jesus ! the Name that charms our fears. That bids our sorrow cease ; 'Tis music in the sinner's ears, 'Tis life, and health, and peace. 4 He breaks the power of cancelled sin, He sets the prisoner free ; His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood avaikd for me. 6 He speaks, and, listening to his voice. New life the dead receive ; The mournful, broken hearts rejoice ; The humble poor believe. 2 The Coronation of Christ. [2 ALL hail the power of Jesus' name ! Let angels prostrate fall ; Bring forth the royal diadem. And crown him Lord of all. 2 Ye seed of Israel's chosen race. Ye ransomed from the fall, Hail him who saves you by his grace. And crown him Lord of all. 3 Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget The wormwood and the gall ; Qo spread your trophies at his feet, And crown him Lord of all. 4 O that with yonder sacred throng Wt at his feet may fall ; We'll join the everlasting song, And crown him Lord of all. * Fig^trtf ftt beginning /' I with them will still be vying — Glory ! glory to the Laiiib ! O now precious Is the sound of Jesus* name. 4 Anspels now are hovering.round us, Unperceived among the tlironif : Wondering at the love that crowned us, Glad to join the holy song : Hallelujah ! Love and praise to Christ belong ! lO Shepherd oj Tender Touth. [10 SHEPHERD of tender youth. Guiding in love and truth Through devious ways : Christ our triumphant King, Wo come thy name to sing ; Hither our children bring To shout thy praise. 2 Thou art our holv Lord, The all-subduing Word, HealiT of strife; Thou didst thyself abase, Tliat from sin's deep disgrace Thou mightest save our race, And five us life. 3 Thou art the great VJgh Priest ; Thou hast prepared the feast Of heavenly love ; While in our mortal pain None calls on thee in vain ; Help thou dost not disdain. Help from above. 4 So now, and till we die, Sound we thv praises high. And joyful sing ; Infants, and the glad throng Who to thy Church belong, Unite to swell the song To Christ our King. 11 " A Name that is dbuve every name." []1 JESUS' ! the Name high over all. In hell, or earth, or sky ; Angels and men before it fall, And devils fear and fly. 2 Jesus ! the Name to sinners dear. The Name to sinners given ; It scatters all their guilty fear. It turns their hell to heaven. 3 Jesus the prisoner's fetters breaks. And bruises Satan's head ; Power into strengthless souls it speaks, And life into the dead. 4 O that the world might taste and see The riches of his grace ! The arms of love that compass me Would all mankind embrace. 1 2 Jeaus, the Joy of Earth and Heaven. [1 2 LET earth and heaven agree. Angels and men be joined, To celebrate with me The Saviour of mankind ; To adore the all-atoning Lamb, And bless the sound of Jesus' name. 2 Jesus, tranitporting sound ! Tiie joy of earth and heaven No other help is found. No other name is given. By which we can salvation have ; But Jesus came the world to save THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. 8 Jeoiis, harmonious name ! It charms the hosts above ; They evermore proclaim And wonder at his love ; 'Tis all their happiness to gaze, *Tis heaven to see our Jesus' face. His name the sinner hears, And is from sin set free ; 'Tis music in his ears, Tis life and victory ; New songs do now his lips employ, And dances his glad heart for Joy. 13 Christ messing Little ChUdren. [13 I THINK, when I read that sweet story of old. When Jesus was here among men, IIow he called little children as lambs to his fold, I should have liked to have been with him then. 2 I wish that his hands had been placed on my head, That his arms had been thrown around me, That I might have seen his kind look when he said, ** Let the little ones come unto me. " 3 Yet still to his footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in his love. And if I thus earnestly seek him below, I shall see him and hear him above. 4 In that beautiful place he has gone to J»repare, 1 who are washed and forgiven, And many dear children are gathering there. '^ For of such is the kingdom of heaven.'* 14 The Praise <^f Christ. [14 HARK, ten thousand harps and voices Sound their note of praise above ; Jesus, reigns, and heaven rejoices ; Jesus reigns, the God of love. See, he sits on yonder throne ; Jesus rules the world alone. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Hallelujah, Amen. 2 Jesus, hail ! whose glory brightens All above, and gives it worth ; Lord of life ! thy smile enlightens. Cheers, and charms thy saints on earth. <• When we think of love like thine, Lord ! we own it love divine. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Hallelujah, Amen. 3 Saviour ! hasten thine appearing ; Bring,— O bring the glorious day, When, the awful summons hearing, Heaven and earth shall pass away ; Tlien with golden harps we'll sing- Glory, glory to our King. Halldujah, hallelujah. Hallelujah, Amen. lO Tlie Joyful Sound of Salvation. [15 SALVATION ! O the Joyful sound ! What pleasure to our ears ! A sovereign balm for every wound, A cordial for our fears. Glory, honour, praiiie, and power, Be unto the Lamb forever ; Je8U8 Christ Is our Itedeemer, Hallelujah, praiiie the I^amb. 2 Salvation ! let the echo fly The spacious earth around ; While all the armies of the sky Conspire to raise the sound. Glory, honour, praise, and power, etc, 8 Salvation ! O thou bleeding Lamb, To thee the praise belongs ; Salvation shall inspire our hearts, And dwell upon our toneues.

To guide my doubting footsteps, To be my strength and stay. 3 I need thee, blessed Jesus !
