Whilst tendering my warm thanks ro the Lord's sweet Songsters, whoever, and wherever they may be, in enabling me to make this Collec- tion of Hymns, for the use of a Church, meeting in the Master's Name, by laying hands upon whatever was good and beautiful of their composi- tions : a felt need must be my apology for alterations found in many Hymns ; either by way of improvement, — at least to my mind, — or by necessity , on account of unscriptural doctrine which they contained. Hymns are an excellent vehicle for containing Truth, as well as impressing it on the mind ; they are equally so with regard to Error. By way of explanation, I may say, that some of these Hymns have been re- written ; and some have been composed by selecting single verses, or more, from several sources, containing some precious Truth sweetly expressed, — like an oasis in a desert , — and stringing them together, with the alterations required in rhyme or metre, so as to make a whole Hymn out of the pieces ; otherwise the Collection, small, on purpose that the Hymns may be frequently used, would have grown too large. A few Hymns with the initials XO. 36, appended, are t he composition of the Author of this Hymnal ; to the use of which any Christian is wel- come, should they be deemed worthy of his needs. The Lord bless the Songs and the Singers for His Name's sake. Toronto, January, 1897. m. 38. ARRANGEMENT OF SUBJECTS.
