V^ OF THE ^r ;uiTi7EiisiTy: PHILADELPHIA: AMERICAN SUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION, 1122 CHESTNUT STREET. NEW YORK DEPOSITORY: 375 BROADWAY. Entered according to Act of Cbngress, in the year 1859, hy the AMERICAN SUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION, in the Cleric^ s Office of the District Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. 2 y ^ ^ ^ «S- Tnis collection of Hymns, prepared by a Committee of the Yocsg Mfn's Chkistian Association, under the advice of several eminent clergymen of different evangelical denomin*- tions, is published for them by Thb American Scmdat-School Umiost. rpHIS Collection of PRAYER MEETING HYMNS -^ was prepared in the spring of 1858, to meet a want then apparent to all who frequented devotional meetings. The hymns which are contained in it are gathered from all the collections in use among Evan- gelical Christians, and are appropriate for all occa- sions of Christian wo'rship. ^This little book has been used in the daily prayer meeting, the firemen's meet- ing, the church evening meeting, the prison, alms- house and penitentiary. It has cheered the afflicted believer in the chamber of sickness ; the voice of praise has been sounded in the words of its hymns, in the mountain cabin, the coal mine, the railroad car and the steamboat. Multitudes of Christian worshippers in the tent and in the open air meeting have praised God with the words of its hymns; and in innumerable instances has it been blessed to the spiritual edification of those who have used it. The words of Scripture which preface these hymns have spoken peace and comfort to the soul of many a be- liever, and have afforded themes for earnest and pointed exhortations in the prayer meeting. 4 PREFACE. The demand for this book has been bo great that it has been found necessary to issue a new edition, in larger type and of larger size. This present edition will be acceptable to many who may have thought the other too small. It Is of the same size as ''The Prayer Meeting Tune Book," which has been pre- pared as a companion to it, and can be had cither bound with that book, or separately, as may be pre- ferred. The names ^of the tunes which are at the head of each h}'inn in this edition refer to the tunes in the ** Prayer Meeting Tune Book." This designa- tion of tunes is intended to serve as a convenience to those who lead the singing. Only one tune is desig- nated to each hymn. This is not to convey the idea that no other tune is suitable for tbe h3rmn, but merely to point out a tune which is suitable. These selections have been carefully made, and in making them, tlie hymns have been repeatedly sung with the tunes, the names of which are here affixed to them, to test their appropriateness. The book, with its companion, the Prayer Meeting Tune Book, goes forth anew on its mission of useful- ness. May it continue to be greatly blest to the strengthening of the Lord's people, and the awaken- ing of unbelievers. September, 1S59. [UNIVERSITY^ PKATVB lCB»ri*(0 VO«B BOOS. rAOsST.

Entered according to Act of Congress^ in the year 1859, hy the AMERICAN SUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION, in the. Clerk's Office of the Distinct Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. >8®=" No books are published bif the American Scnday - School Union without the sanction of the Committee of Publication, consisting of fourteen members, from the following denominations of CltristianSy viz.: Baptist, Methodist, Congregational, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Lutheran, and Reformed Dutch. Not more than three of the members can be of the same denomination, and no book can be published to which any member of the Committee shall object. Tins collection of Tunes, compiled at the request of the Touxa Mens' Christian Association's, is published for their use by Thk American Suxdav-Scuool Uxio.\. PREFACE. This collection of music is offered to the Christian people of America to assist them in praising God in the voice of sacred song. The tunes which are con- tained in it are such as can be sung with ease by any congregation, large or small. They are adapted for the prayer-meeting, the church, and the Sunday-school, as well as for the devotions of the family. The words which accompany them are from "Union Prayer-Meet- ing Hymns" published by the American Sunday- School Union, and the numbers at the head of each tune refer to the numbers of the hymns in that book. An index of the hymns in *' Union Prayer-Meeting Hymns'^ which are of irregular metres, or peculiarly adapted to certain tunes, will be found at the end of this book. Many of the tunes in this book are copyrighted, and are used by the permission of their authors, or of the proprietors of the copyright, without which permission compilers of other works will not be at liberty to use them. Such tunes are designated in the index thus,*. 3 It is to be hoped that this little book will be found useful in increasing the interest which is felt in sing- ing God's praise in the assemblies of his worshipping people, and in raising from every voice the cheerful sound of sacred praise to the Most High God. ** Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, my soul. While I live will I praise the Lord; I will SING praises unto MY GoD WHILE I HAVE ANY BEING.'' Psalm cxlvi. 1, 2. "Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord."
