BARNES & Co., In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York. Elcctrotyped by Smith & McDougal, S2 & 84 Bcekman St, N. Y. Printed by George W. Wood, 2 Dutch Street, N. Y ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. To John P. Morgan, Professor in the Conservatory of Mnsic, Eighth Street, New York, and Organist of the Church of the Messiah, Brooklyn, thanks are due for his able assistance in revising the har- monies of this volume ; several of the tunes, as Spanish Hymn, Laban, Deseret, Old Hundred (as to Hymn 154), Remsen, P7ium7i, Armenia, Westlane, AntJwn, and Feltus, he has re-harmonized en- tirely. To Dr. Lowell Mason, and Dr. Thomas Hastings, ever to "be had in grateful remembrance by the Christians of our land, as patriarchs in the cause of sacred music ; to George William \Var- ren, organist of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn ; to Ches- ter G. Allen, leader of the Choir of the Church of the Messiah, Brooklyn ; to Henry \Yilson, organist of Christ Church, Hartford ; and to Clare \Y. Beames, organist of St. Bartholomew's Church, Xe\v York, — obligations are acknowledged for valuable advice, and the use of their inestimable tunes in the Composition of the work. Urre has been made of the "Church Psalter and Hymn Book," by the Rev. William Mercer, of Sheffield, England; of "Hynins, Ancient and Modem," published by ISTovello & Co., of London ; of the "Church Choir," by Joseph Muenscher D. D. ; and of the well known "Episcopal Tune Book," published by a committee appointed by the American House of Bishops. Justice to the Music Publishers, by whose investments and labors the works of the great composers are brought within reach of the mass of the people, and without whose co-operation such volumes as this could not be compiled, demands that use should not be made of tunes ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. in their possession without adequate remuneration. Music must not therefore be taken from this volume for the sake of publication, with- out the consent of the Copyright owners. The tunes derived from the "Cantus Ecclesise"— Barley, Bucachet, Bonizetti, Kozelucft, JVbrris, Wharton, Laudate Bominum (No. 85), Gloria in Excelsis (No. 98), and Bonum est Confiteri (No. Ill)— belong to Messrs. Lee & Walk- er, No. 722 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. Those taken from Greatorex's collection, and from the Grace Church collections (com- prising many of the more elaborate adaptations from the foreign mas- ters— Cramer, Grace Church, Howe, Kenyon, Rossini, Sparrow, Br ori- son, Buane, Byer, Meade, Schenclc, and FaVcner— as also Zuriel, the popular tune of J. R. Thomas), are the property of Oliver Ditson, Esq., of 277 Washington Street, Boston. Those taken from Wilson's Sacred Quartettes,— Backar d, Eastbum, Bexley, and Venite (Nos. 11 and 12)— and the compositions of George Kingsley, are the property of S. T. Gordon, Esq., 706 Broadway, New York. The compositions of George William Warren, and the tune of " Flotow," belong to William A. Pond & Co., 547 Broadway, New York. The accom- paniments to many of these pieces are left out as unnecessary to our purpose, but when desired for the Organ or for the Piano in social worship can easily be procured from the above sources. The tunes credited in the index to Lowell Mason, William B. Bradbury, Thomas Hastings, and other contemporary authors, of course are theirs alone to dispose of. And now, in the earnest hope that God will bless all efforts to enrich popularize, and spiritualize the music of the Sanctuary, this work is given for publication. GEORGE E.

Thou know'st the texture of my heart, My reins, and every vital part ; I'll praise thee, from whose hands I came, A work of such a wondrous frame. Let me acknowledge, too, O God, That since this maze of life I trod, Thy thoughts of love to me surmount The power of numbers to recount. Far sooner could I reckon o'er The sands upon the ocean's shore ; Each morn, revising what I've done, I find th' account but new begun.

I want a sober mind, A self-renouncing will, That tramples down and casts behind The baits of pleasing ill : A soul inured to pain, To hardship, grief, and loss ; Ready to take up and sustain The consecrated cross. I want a godly fear, A quick discerning eye, That looks to thee when sin is near, And sees the tempter fly ; A spirit still prepared, And armed with jealous care, For ever standing on its guard, And watching unto prayer. 4 I want a heart to pray, To pray and never cease, Never to murmur at thy stay, Or wish my sufferings less ; This blessing, above all, Always to pray I want, Out of the deep on thee to call, And never, never faint. 5 I want a true regard, A single, steady aim, Unmoved by threatening or reward, To thee and thy great Name ; A jealous, just concern For thine immortal praise ; A pure desire that all may learn And glorify thy grace. I rest upon thy word, The promise is for me ; My succour and salvation, Lord, Shall surely come from thee. But let me still abide, Nor from my hope remove, Till thou my patient spirit guide Into thy perfect love. 459 Hymn 177. SOLO. PRATER FOR GUIDANCE. Flotow. Ill, 3, For the Choir. 1.
