CHARLES BANCROFT, M. A., MINISTER OF ST. THOMAS* CHURCH, MONTREAL. MONTREAL : PRINTED BY LOVELL & OIBSOy, ST. NICIIOLAS 8TI.BKX. 18t6. ■ TO THE RIGHT REVEREND AND THE CLERGY OP THE DIOCESE OF QUEBEC, THIS coIjLEction of hymns IS MOST RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED BV THE COMPILER. A3 ^ 1 Z^ PEE FACE. Tins little work has been undertaken by the Compiler at the repeated solicitation of many members of his Congregatioii, by permission of his venerated Diocesan, and with the ap . probation and advice of a number of his brethren of the Clergy. The Hymns are intended chiefly as a Supplement to the Version of Psalms in common use in the Church of England. But a hope is entertained that they will also be found useful in Sunday and other Schools, and at the seasons of Family and Private Devotion. In the arrangement of the Hymns, it will be perceived that attention has been paid to the order of Services prescribed in the Book VI. ^ I I i'UEFACE. of Common Prayer, though without specify- ing every particular Sunday in the year. There will be found an index of subjects at the close of the volume, in addition to the index of first lines. In the selection of the Hymns, free use has been made of upwards of thirty Collec- tions, and the best reading in every case squght. With humble dependence upon the Divine blessing, they are committed to the Church at large, and, especially, to the Congregation of St. Thomas' Church, for whose more immediate use they have been selected.

COMFORT IN THE DEATH OF FRIENDS. 1 WHY do we mourn departing friends, Or shake at death's alarms ? 'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends To call them to his arms. 2 Are we not tending upward too As fast as time can move ? Nor would we wish the hours more slow To keep us from our love. 3 Why should we tremble to convey Their relics to the tomb ? There the Redeemer's body lay, And left a long perfume. 4 The graves of all his saints He bless'd, And soften'd every bed ; Where should the dying members rest But with the dying Head? ' 5 Thence He arose, ascending high, And show'd our feet the way : Up to the Lord our flesh shall fly At the great rising day. 6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound. And bid our kindred rise ; Awake, ye nations under ground, Ye saints, ascend the skies. HYMN 253. (C. M.) 1 DYING IN THE LORD. HEAR what the voice from heaven proclaims.

M.> ON THE APPOINTMENT OF A MINISTER. 1 WP^ bid thee welcome in the name Of Jesus our exalted Head ; — Come as a Servant ; so lie came, And we receive thee in his stead. 2 Come as a Shepherd ; guard and keep This fold from hell, and earth, and sin ; Nourish the lambs, and feed the sheep, The wounded heal, the lost bring in. 3 Come as a Watchman ; take thy stand Upon thy tov/er amidst the sky, And when the sword comes on the land, Call us to fight, or warn to fly. 4 Come as an Angel, hence to guide A band of pilgrims on their way, That, safely walking at thy side. We fail not, faint not, turn nor stray. 5 Come as a Teacher sent from God, Charged his whole counsel to declare ; Lift o'er our ranks the prophet's rod. While we uphold thy hands with prayer. 6 Come as a Messenger of peace, Fill'd with the Sniritj fired with love: Live to behold our large increase. And die to meet us all above. (240) HYMNS 375, 376. HYMN 375. (Q. 7.) FAST DAY. 1 DREAD Jehovah! God of nations ! l^rom thy temple in the i»kies, Hear thy people's supplications, Now for their deliv'rance rise : 2 Lo ! with deep contrition turning, Humbly at thy feet we bend ; Hear us, fasting, praying, mourning. Hear us, spare us, and defend. 8 Though our sins, our hearts confoundinff, ^ Long and loud for vengeance call, xiiou hast mercy more aboundiuo-, Jesus' blood can cleanse them all. 4 Let that love veil our transgression. Let that blood our guilt efface ; Save thy peopls from oppression, ' Save from spoil thy holy place. HYMN 376. (C. M.) FAST DAY. 1 ALMIGHTY Lord ! before thy throne irv'^ mourning people bend ! lis on thy pardoning grace alone Our prostrate h pes depend. 2 Dark judgments, from thy heavy hand, Ihy dreadful power display ; Yet mercy spares our guilty land, And still we live to pray. 3 How changed, alas ! are truths divine, ...J^or error, guilt, and shame ! What impious numbers, bold in sin, Disgrace the Christian name I .) HYMN 377. 4 O turn us, turn iia, mighty Lord, Convert us by thy grace ; Then shall our hearts obey thy word, And see again thy lace. ^ Then, should oppressing foes invade. We will not sink in fear; Secure of all-sufficient aid, When God, our God, is near. (241) HYMN 377. (l. m.) A PUBLIC MERCIES AND DELlVER.wVCES. 1 SALVATION doth to God belong. His power and grace shall be our song ; From him alone all mercies flow. His arm alone subdues the foe ! 2 Then praise this iGod, who bows his ear Propitious to his people's prayer ; And though deliverance he may stay, Yet answers still in his own day. 3 O may this goodness lead our land, Still saved by thiQ.e Almighty hand, The tribute of its love to bring To thee our Saviour, and our King. 4 Till every public temple raise A song of triumph to thy praise ; And every peaceful private home, To thee a temple fefeall become. & Still be it our supreme delight To walk as in thy glorious siglit ; Still in thy precepts and thy fear. Till life's last hour, to persevere. 242 FOR A GENERAL ORDINATION. See Hymns 18-23. AT THE CONSECRATION OF A CHURCH. See Hymns 288-290. FOR THE CHURCH SOCIETY.
