INTRODUCTION. 
 
 This book is not so much an experiment as it is the result of an experi- 
 ment. About three years since, the compiler, hoping to aid the peoj^le of 
 his pastoral charge in their singing, selected from the Assembly's collec- 
 tion some three hundred and fifty of the Psalms and Hymns, to which he 
 proposed to confine himself in the services of the Church, both i^ublic and 
 social. At the same time, after an extensive collation of Church-tunes, he 
 selected about one hundred and thirty, and designated them to these 
 hymns, taking the Presbyterian Psalmodist as a general guide. The 
 arrangement was submitted to a revision at the hands of some of the best 
 critics, and was adopted by the Church session. The tunes were made 
 accessible to the choir, and the plan was inaugurated — which has been since 
 pursued — of always singing the hymn announced to the tune chosen for it. 
 So satisfactory has the plan proved, so much has it contributed toward the 
 general singing of the congregation, that the compiler has been encouraged 
 to revise the arrangement, amending and enlarging it as experience has 
 taught was desirable, and now to publish it. He hopes for still more 
 encouraging results when the families of his congregation shall have the 
 music of the Church in their homes and can teach their children to use it, 
 when the lecture-room shall be supplied and the pews of the church per- 
 manently furnished with the book containing it, and when the same 
 hymns shall have been so long and so often sung to the same tunes that 
 both have become familiar, and that in each case the hymn and its tune 
 have become so firmly associated that the one shall suggest the other. 
 
 If any other congregations should be disposed to use this selection, and 
 should receive a like benefit, it will be a matter of rejoicing to have thus 
 contributed to the advancement of the cause of Sacred Praise. 
 
 ADVANTAGES. 
 
 Some of the advantages of this arrangement have been intimated. Many 
 persons can read simjile Church-music ; and to such it will often be of use 
 to have the music before their eyes in connection with the hymn sung. 
 But, further than this, it is obviously a great advantage for congregational 
 singing to be limited to a fixed number of suitable tunes, to have these 
 carefully adapted to the hymns vised, and then always to sing the same 
 words to the same music. The majority of tunes used in our churches are 
 unsuited to congregational singing. The change of one set of tunes for 
 another, so often made by the introduction of new tune-books or by a 
 change of musical leaders, prevents the congregation from becoming 
 familiar with any. Professional leaders often violate sacred associations in 
 their selection of tunes for hymns ; their selections, being often hastily made, 
 ai'e seldom judiciously made; and the singing of the same hymn to various 
 
 3 
 
4 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 tunes prevents any association being formed between tunes and words. 
 These difficulties are obviated by the arrangement here adopted, when the 
 arrangement is wisely executed. 
 
 This arrangement, too, is equally well suited to any sort of leading, 
 whether that by a precentor, a choir, or a choir and organ. 
 
 A properly-constituted choir will not object to singing familiar congrega- 
 tional tunes thus selected for them, provided the pastor does not, by his 
 choice of hymns, cause the same tunes to be sung too frequently. In 
 order, however, that a choir have occasion to meet for weekly practice, 
 and in order, too, that a place be found for that species of song designed 
 to be impressive on the heart of the worshipper rather than directly crpress- 
 ive of his devout feelings, it seems desirable that the choir be invited to 
 open each Sabbath service with a suitable cho jr-piece of their own selection, 
 to which the congregation may devoutly listen. 
 
 THE HYMNS. 
 
 In selecting the Psalms and Hymns here found, reference was had — 
 
 First, to the judgment of the Church, — preference being given to those most 
 generally esteemed. 
 
 Secondly, to the element of devotion, — preference being given to those in 
 which this element enters most directly and largely. 
 
 Thirdly, to poetic merit, — believing that mere prose is not adapted to be sung. 
 
 Fourthly, to lyric excellence, — believing that devotional and truly poetic 
 hymns are not equally well adapted to be sung. 
 
 Fifthly, to the exigencies of worship, as presented by tlie great congregation, 
 the social meeting, and the family, and as affected by times and seasons 
 and occasions. 
 
 Sixthly, to variety, — seeking to include in these selections, as nearly as 
 possible, every distinct phase of truth or experience found in tlie large 
 collection. 
 
 THE TUNES. 
 
 In selecting the tunes here found, reference was had — 
 
 First, again, to the judgvient of the Church, — preference being given to those 
 pronounced by the general voice to be effective. 
 
 Secondly, to simplicity, — preference being given to tunes witli an even and 
 easy movement, as alone suitable for congregational singing. As much as pos- 
 sible, repeats and fugues and complications of time and key, and the various 
 characteristics of what may be denominated choir-music, have been avoided. 
 At the same time, the effort has been made to keej^ from that extreme of 
 nude simplicity advocated by some, in which melody is sacrificed and 
 tunes lose their character as tunes. 
 
 Thirdly, to sweetness, — preference being given to those which have a plea- 
 sant melody, such as tlie ear soon catches and does not soon forget. 
 
 Fourthly, to dignity, — jireference being given to those which, with a simple 
 
INTRODUCTION. 6 
 
 and sweet melody, possess also a grave, sustaining harmony. Melody by 
 itself soon wears out, and, while it lasts, is insufficient for the serious pur- 
 poses of worship. 
 
 THE ADAPTATIONS. 
 
 In designating tunes to hymns, reference was had not merely to con- 
 ceived fitness, but to associations already formed. These, when known, 
 have, in almost every instance, been sacredly regarded. 
 
 Instead of groujjing hymns on the same subject as much as possible 
 under the same tune or tunes, the effort has been made to scatter them as 
 widely as possible. The reason for this will appear from an illustration. 
 If, for example, the hymns of a missionary character had been grouped 
 under five or six tunes, it would have occasioned the singing of these same 
 tunes at every missionary meeting, and they could be sung at no other 
 time. But these hymns being assigned one to each of fifteen or twenty 
 tunes, which tunes have also assigned to them hymns suitable for other 
 occasions, a variety of tunes is secured for the missionary meeting, and 
 tunes which, being sung at other times, are more generally practiced. In 
 this way, too, most of the tunes sung in the lecture-room, through the 
 week, will be sung on the Sabbath, in the great congregation; and vice versa. 
 The intention is to bring the whole collection of tunes into current use, 
 and to make the practice had in one sort of service available for every 
 other sort of service. 
 
 Of course, then, the hymns are not arranged at all with reference to their 
 subject-matter. The various Indexes, it is hoped, will obviate all difficulty 
 on this score. 
 
 THE SMALL NUMBER OF HYMNS. 
 
 It may be thought by some that the number of hymns in this book is 
 too small for an exclusive and continued use in all the services of the 
 Church. There are, however, strong arguments in favor of a limited 
 number. To say nothing of the difficulty of finding a large number of 
 unexceptionable hymns adapted to be sung, — a difficulty more serious than 
 many suppose, — to say nothing of this, a smaller number is preferable, in 
 view of a congregation becoming familiar with the several hymns. The 
 great majority of a congregation do not attend more than two services a 
 week, of any kind. Probably they unite in the singing of seven hymns at 
 these services. At this rate, it would require more than a year to sing once 
 through a selection of four hundred hymns. It is difficult to see how the 
 mass of the people will become familiar with a larger number. 
 
 Moreover, it is desirable that hymns become associated with music. On 
 some accounts, indeed, it would be well to have a separate tune for each 
 hymn sung. But, in a large collection of hymns, either many hymns must 
 be assigned to each tune, in which case none of them will become strongly 
 associated with the tune, or else a large number of tunes must be furnished, 
 in which case a congregation will never be able fully to learn them. The 
 
6 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Episcopal collection contains only about four hundred pieces. Perhaps 
 few pastors use more than that number, even when three times as many 
 are atibrded them. 
 
 This book embraces, in round numbers, five hundred hymns and one 
 hundred and fifty tunes. It would have been easy to enlarge or diminish 
 the number of either hymns or tunes, or of both. The chief reason for 
 fixing vipon these numbers was the belief that thus the various requisites 
 for congregational singing were most fully met. 
 
 DIRECTIONS AND GENERAL REMARKS. 
 
 It will be understood, then, that the Psalms or Hymns found on any 
 page are intended to be sung to the tune at the head of that page; and it 
 is recommended that the intention be carried out in every possible case. 
 
 The Psalms and Hymns in the body of the book, and a portion of those 
 in the Supplement, are taken from the Assembly's collection. That the 
 book may be used in connection with that collection, — neither displacing it, 
 nor patting those who may use it to any inconvenience, — the original 
 numbers of the Psalms and Hymns have been preserved. Also, in every 
 instance, omissions of stanzas have been expressly stated at the head of the 
 hymn, as well as indicated in tlie numbering of the stanzas ; so that if 
 only the pastor and choir, in any case, should use the book, and that only 
 at times, all difficulty Avill be obviated by announcing the Psalm or Hymn 
 both as it stands in this book and in the original collection. 
 
 Where the book is used exclusively, as in the lecture-room or family, the 
 hymns in the Supplement may be found valuable. Tunes suitable to be 
 sung to these have been indicated. 
 
 In cases where a pastor may not wish to be confined to the selection of 
 hymns here made, and where likewise it may not be convenient to furnish 
 the lecture-room with the book, it is conceived that the book would still 
 be of much service in promoting congregational singing, if only the choir 
 were supj^lied with it, with directions that whenever a hymn contained in 
 this selection was announced, the tune here designated to it should be 
 sung. 
 
 Most of the tunes in this book arc standard and familiar. By a little 
 care on the part of tlie pastor, the newer tunes may be so introduced as to 
 be learned and become iiimiliar, without serious embarrassment. 
 
 An hour of the Sabbath, spent by families in singing together these 
 hymns and tunes, would help prepare tlio children for taking jiart in the 
 praises of the solemn assembly. 
 
 Many thanks are due to the owners of copyright music who have liere 
 permitted its use. 
 
 In conclusion, while dedicating this book to the service of the Great 
 Head of tlie ('hurch, tlie comiiiU^r lias in special remembrance his own con- 
 gregation, for whose sake particularly it has been prepared.

 My loads of guilt remove ; 
 Break down this separating wall. 
 That bars me from thy love. 
 
 2. Give me the presence of thy grace; 
 
 Then my rejoicing tongue 
 Shall speak aloud thy righteousness. 
 And make thy pi-aise my song. 
 
 3. No blood of goats nor heifers slain. 
 
 For sin could e'er atone ; 
 The death of Christ shall still remain 
 Sufficient and alone. 
 
 4. A soul oppress'd with sin's desert 
 
 My God will ne'er despise ; 
 An humble groan, a broken heart. 
 Is our best sacrifice.

 For error, guilt, and shame ! 
 What impious numbers, bold in sin.

 To take thy ransom'd people home, 
 
 Shall I among them stand? 
 Shall such a worthless worm as I, 
 Who sometimes am afraid to die, 
 Be found at thy right hand ?

 Before thy gracious feet to bow. 
 
 Though vilest of them all ; 
 But can I bear the piercing thought, 
 What if my name should be left out. 
 
 When thou for them shalt call ? 
 
 3. Prevent, prevent it by thy grace ; 
 Be thou, dear Lord, my hiding-place. 
 
 In this the accepted day ; 
 Thy pardoning voice, lot me hear, 
 To still my unbelieving fear. 
 
 Nor let me fall, I pray. 
 
 4. Let me among thy saints be found, 
 AVhene'er the archangel's trump shall

 To see thy smiling face ; 
 Then loudest of the crowd I'll sing, 
 While heaven's resounding mansions 
 ring 
 With shouts of sovereign grace.

 LO ! on a narrow neck of land, 
 'Twixt two unbounded seas I stand, 
 
 Yet how insensible ! 
 A point of time, a moment's space, 
 Removes me to yon heavenly place, 
 
 Or shuts me up in hell. 
 2. God, mj inmost soul convert, 
 And deeply on my thoughtless heart, 
 
 Eternal things impress ; 
 Give me to feel their solemn weight, 
 And save me ere it be too late ; 
 
 Wake me to righteousness. 
 0. Before me place in bright array, 
 The pomp of that tremendous day, 
 
 When thou with clouds shalt come 
 To judge the nations at thy bar : 
 And tell me. Lord, shall I be there. 
 
 To meet a joyful doom ? 
 
 4. Be this my one great business here. 
 With holy trembling, holy fear. 
 
 To make my calling sure ; 
 Thine utmost counsel to fulfil, 
 And suffer all thy righteous will. 
 
 And to the end endure. 
 
 5. Then, Saviour, then my soul receive, 
 Trans^jorted from this vale, to live 
 
 And reign with thee above ; 
 Where faith is sweetly lost in sight, 
 And hope, in full, supreme delighi^, 
 
 And everlasting love.

 Must not, would not, if he might.

 Many souls their race have run, 
 Never more to meet us here; 
 Fix'd in their eternal state, 
 
 They have done with all below; 
 AVe a little longer wait, 
 
 But how little none can know. 
 
 2. As the winged arrow flies 
 
 Speedily the mark to find ; 
 As the lightning from the skies 
 
 Darts, and leaves no trace behind: 
 Swiftly thus our fleeting days 
 
 Bear us down life's rapid stream; 
 Upward, Lord, our spirits raise; 
 
 All below is but a dream. 
 
 3. Thanks for mercies past receive, 
 
 Bardon of our sins renew ; 
 Teacli us henceforth how to live, 
 
 "With eternity in view. 
 Bless tliy word to young and old, 
 
 Fill us witli a Saviour's love; 
 And when life's short talc is told. 
 
 May we dwell with thee above.

 2. Nations, now from God estrang<^d, 
 
 Then shall see a glorious light ; 
 Night to day shall then be changed, 
 Heaven shall triumph in the siglit. 
 
 3. See the ancient idols falling, 
 
 Worshipp'd once, but now abhorr'd; 
 Men on Sion's King are calling, 
 Sion's King, by all adored. 
 
 4. Then shall Israel, long dispersed. 
 
 Mourning seek their Lord and God, 
 Look on Him whom once they pierced. 
 Own and kiss the chastening rod. 
 
 5. Then shall Isi'ael all be saved, 
 
 AVar and tumult then shall cease, 
 While the greater Son of David 
 Rules a conquer'd world in peace. 
 
 G. Mighty King, thine arm revealing. 
 Now thy glorious cause maintain ; 
 Bring the nations help and healing. 
 Make them subject to thy reign ! 
 
 7. Angels in their lofty station. 
 
 Praise thy name, thou only wise ; 
 let earth, with emulation, 
 Join the triumpJi of the skies.

 [H. 494, 
 
 GLORIOUS things of thee are spoken, 
 Sion, city of our God ; 
 lie whose word cannot bo broken, 
 Form'd thee for his own abode : 
 On the Rock of ages founded, 
 
 AVhat can shake thy sure repose ? 
 With salvation's walls surrounded, 
 Thou mayst smile at all thy foes. 
 
 2. See the streams of living waters. 
 
 Springing from eternal love. 
 Well supply thy sons and daughters, 
 
 And all fear of want remove : 
 Who can faint, while such a river 
 
 Ever flows their thirst to assuage ? 
 Grace, which, like the Lord, the giver, 
 
 Never fails from age to age. 
 
 3. Round each habitation hovering, 
 
 See the cloud and fire appear, 
 For a glory and a covering. 
 
 Showing that the Lord is near: 
 Thus deriving from their banner. 
 
 Light by night, and shade by day ; 
 Safe they feed upon the manna, 
 
 Which He gives them, when they 
 pray.

 Temptation without, and corruption within: 
 E'en the rapture of pardon is mingled with fears, 
 And the cup of thanksgiving with penitent tears.

 Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom; 
 There, sweet be my rest, till He bid me arise, 
 
 To hail Him in triumph descending the skies.

 Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode.

 And the noontide of glory eternally reigns :

 Their Saviour and brethren, transported to greet ; 
 While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll. 
 And the smile of the Lord is the, feast of the soul.

 TIfEE we adore, eternal Name, 
 And humbly own to thee, 
 How feeble is our mortal frame; 
 What dying worms are we ! 
 
 2. The year rolls round and steals away 
 
 The breath that first it gave ; 
 
 Whate'er we do, where'er we be, 
 
 AVe're traveling to the grave. 
 
 3. Great God, on what a slender thread 
 
 Hang everlasting things ! 
 The eternal states of all tlic dead 
 Upon life's feeble strings.

 Attends on every breath ; 
 And yet Iiow unconcern'd we go 
 Upon the brink of death !

 To walk this dangerous road ; 
 
 And if our souls be hurried hence. 
 
 May they be found vi-ith God.

 Through my Redeemer's blood : 
 Now let my flesh and heart begin 
 The honors of my God.

 JESUS, while our hearts are bleeding 
 O'er the sj^oils that death has won. 
 We would, at this solemn meeting. 
 Calmly say. Thy will be done. 
 
 2. Though cast down, we're not forsaken; 
 
 Tliough afflicted, not alone : 
 Thou didst give, and thou hast taken; 
 Blessed Lord, thy will be done. 
 
 3. Though to-day we're fill'd with mourn- 
 
 jMercy still is on the throne ; [ing, 
 AVith thy smiles of love returning,

 That God, whose ways are love? 
 Or vainly cherish anxious pain 
 For her who rests above ? 
 
 3. No ! — let me rather humbly pay 
 
 Obedience to his will, 
 And with my inmost spirit say, 
 " The Lord is righteous still." 
 
 4. From adverse blasts, and lowering 
 
 Jler favor'd soul He bore ; [storms, 
 And with yon bright, angelic forms, . 
 She lives, to die no more.

 No more she'll visit me ; 
 My soul will mount to her at last, 
 And there my child I'll see.

 'Where is tliy boasted victory, grave,
