Y. \ FEB or 1934 *' TOJVNSEND MacCOUN NEW YORK MDCCCXCVIl COPYBIGHT, 1897, BY TOWNSEND MacCOUN TROW DIRECTORY M Nu AND BOOKBINOINQ COMPANY NEW YORK Butbor's preface The object of the compiler of this book has been to select a number of the best standard hymns, national and patriotic songs, for use in the public schools, together with a few psalms for responsive reading, arranged and pointed for chanting if so desired. They are unsectarian in their character and can be used by persons of any denomination. The tune names of hymns are given and they may be found in any hymnal in common use. The music of most of the national patriotic se- lections may be found in " Songs of the Nation," published by Silver, Burdett & Company. The compiler gratefully acknowledges the cour- tesies extended to him by Messrs. Oliver Ditson & Co., Biglow & Main, Novello, Ewer & Co., Hough- ton Mifflin & Co., E. P. Dutton & Co., A. D. F. Ran- dolph & Co., Dr. J. E. Rankin, Thomas S. Hastings, Charles S. Robinson, P. Prentice, G. Putnam, and H. H. Duffield. William C. Hoff. Yonkers, July 15, 1897. Ipublisber's preface This book is made primarily for such Public Schools as have singing in their general exercises. To such schools the question of supplying each pupil with a hymn book or book of patriotic songs is one of cost. Though sight reading in music may be taught in the school, yet, as a matter of fact, three-fourths of the scholars in any school, do not, and never will, sing by note in general exer- cises. A copy, therefore, of any standard hymnal with music, for use at the instrument, and inex- pensive copies of the words for each pupil, best meet all the requirements at a minimum of cost. To supply such a book for the pupils is the ob- ject of this collection. The same principle applies, and the book is equally well adapted for use in Sabbath-Schools and Churches. ToWNSEND MacCoUN.

I pRACIOUS God, our Heavenly Father! ™ Meet and bless our school, we pray ; As in humble trust we gather, Teachers, scholars, here to-day. Every joy and every blessing From Thy bounteous hand we own ; May Thy love, our souls possessing, Draw us nearer to Thy throne. 2 Weak, imperfect, tempted, erring, From Thy precepts, Lord, we stray ; Let Thy Spirit, from our wandering, Bring us back to virtue's way. Humble, penitent, confiding, May we rest our hope in Thee ; In Thy favor, Lord, abiding, In Thy peace and purity. UNKNOWN. flDorning 1b?mn. l. m. Key of A. First Note — 1. F. H.

T^VEKY morning mercies new -^ Fall as fresh as morning dew ; Every morning let us pay Tribute with the early day ; For Thy mercies, Lord, are sure ; Thy compassion doth endure. Still the greatness of Thy love Daily doth our sins remove ; Daily, far as east from west, Lifts the burden from the breast ; Gives unbought to those who pray Strength to stand in evil day. Let our prayers each morn prevail, That these gifts may never fail ; And, as we confess the sin And the tempter's power within, Feed us with the Bread of Life ; Fit us for our daily strife. As the morning light returns, As the sun with splendor burns, Teach us still to turn to Thee, Ever blessed Trinity, With our hands our hearts to raise, In unfailing prayer and praise. H. BONAR, 12 Warwick o. m. Key of Ej?. Fiust Note— 1. S.

He daily provides me with raiment and food, Whate'er He denies me is meant for my good. The Lord is my Shepherd, how happy am I ! I'm blest while I live, and I'm blest when I die : In death's gloomy valley no evil I'll dread, For "I will be with Thee," my Shepherd hath said. The Lord is my Shepherd, I'll sing with delight, Till called to adore Him in regions of light : Then praise Him, with angels, to bright harps of gold, And ever and ever His glory behold.

Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be ? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. H. F. LYTE. 15 St Xeonark c. m. Key of G. First Note— 1. H.

Look now, for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing : Oh, rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever- circling years, Shall come the time foretold, When the new heaven and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing.

How still we see thee lie ; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by ; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light ; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee to-night. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth ! And praises sing to God the King And peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given ! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still. The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem ! Descend to us, we pray ; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us to-day.

In thee no sorrow can be found, Nor grief, nor care, nor toil. 3 No murky cloud o'ershadows thee, Nor gloom, nor darksome night ; But every soul shines as the sun ; For God Himself gives light. 4 Thy gardens and thy goodly walks Continually are green, Where grow such sweet and pleasant flowers As nowhere else are seen. 5 Right through thy streets, with silver sound, The living waters flow, And on the banks, on either side, The trees of life do grow. G Those trees for evermore bear fruit, And evermore do spring : There evermore the angels are, And evermore do sing. 7 Jerusalem, my happy home, Would God I were in thee !

The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene ; The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen. There is the throne of David ; And there, from care released, The shout of them that triumph, The song of them that feast. And they, who with their Leader, Have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white. O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect !

Oh, happy if ye hunger As Jesus hungered then ! 3 The cross that Jesus carried, He carried as your due : The crown that Jesus weareth, He weareth it for you. 4 The faith by which ye see Him, The hope in which ye yearn, The love that through all troubles To Him alone will turn ; 5 The trials that beset you, The sorrows ye endure, The manifold temptations That death alone can cure ; 6 What are they but His jewels, Of right celestial worth ? What are they but the ladder Set up to heaven on earth ? 7 O happ3 r band of pilgrims, Look upward to the skies, Where such a light affliction Shall win so great a prize ! J. M.

Press onward to the prize ; Soon thy Saviour will return, To take thee to the skies : There is everlasting peace, Rest, enduring rest, in heaven ;' There will sorrow ever cease, And crowns of joy be given.

'Twere vain the ocean-depths to sound, Or pierce to either pole. 2 The world can never give The bliss for which we sigh ; 'Tis not the whole of life to live, Nor all of death to die. 3 Beyond this vale of tears There is a life above, Unmeasured by the flight of years, And all that life is love. 4 There is a death, whose pang- Outlasts the fleeting breath ; Oh, what eternal horrors hang Around the second death ! 5 Lord God of truth and grace, Teach us that death to shun, Lest we be banished from Thy face, For evermore undone. 6 Here would we end our quest : Alone are found in Thee The life of perfect love, the rest Of immortality.

Shaw. 154 AH, Columbia, the gem of the ocean, ^ The home of the brave and the free, The shrine of each patriot's devotion, A world offers homage to thee ; Thy mandates make heroes assemble, When Liberty's Form stands in view ; Thy banners make tyranny tremble, When borne by the red, white and blue, Chokus. When borne by the red, white and blue, When borne by the red, white and blue, Thy banners make tyranny tremble, When borne by the red, white and blue. When war wing'd its wide desolation, And threaten'd the land to deform, The ark then of freedom's foundation, Columbia, rode safe thro' the storm : With the garlands of vict'ry around her, When so proudly she bore her brave crew, With her flag proudly floating before her, The boast of the red, white and blue, The star spangled banner bring hither, O'er Columbia's true sons let it wave ; May the wreaths they have won never wither, Nor its stars cease to shine on the brave ; May the service united ne'er sever, But hold to their colors so true ; The army and navy forever, Three cheers for the red, white and blue. 172 Zbe Breaking Waves Daabefc Ibigb. Key of D. First Note — 5. Abb. Miss Browne. 155 THE breaking waves dash'd high, On a stern and rock-bound coast, The woods against a stormy sky, Their giant branches tossed ; The heavy night hung dark, The hills and waters o'er, When a band of exiles moor'd their bark On wild New England's shore. 2 Not as the conqueror comes, They, the true-hearted came ; Not with the roll of the stirring drums, Or trump that sings of fame, Nor as the flying come, In silence and in fear, They shook the depths of deserts gloom With hymns of lofty cheer. 3 Amid the storm they sang, The stars heard and the sea ! The sounding aisles of woodland rang With anthems of the free. The ocean eagle soared O'er rolling wave's white foam, The rocking pines in forest roar'd, To bid them welcome home. 4 What sought they thus afar ? Bright jewels of the mine ? The wealth of seas, the spoils of war ? They sought a faith's pure shrine ! Ay, call it holy ground, The soil where first they trod : They left unstained what there they found, Freedom to worship God. FELICIA HEHAN8. 173 fIDarcb of tbe flDen of Columbia. Key of Afc>.
