S BARNES & COMPANY, NEW YORK AND CHICAGO. 1870. \ Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1870,. by A. S. BARNES & COMPANY, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Sor District of New York. preface* THIS book is meant to accompany a volume of larger size bearing the same name, containing these hymns set to appropriate music, in the exact order of arrange- ment here employed. The object of its issue is merely to meet the convenience of those who desire a more portable form. The compiler has designed the " Songs for the Sanc- tuary" for use not only in the House of God, but in the Social Meetings of Christians, and even in the Family ; to be a book, if God and His people shall honor it so far, familiar in the Home as well as in the Church ; which children with their parents shall love and study ; and by which all shall be aided and taught to take part more joyfully in the worship of the Redeemer. It needs only to be observed, that, although for sym- metry and convenience no separation as to arrangement or numbering has been adopted, to distinguish between Hymns and what are technically called Psalms, yet the best versions of these latter have been carefully and lovingly sought from every source, so that each of the old songs of inspired authors might, if possible, have its representative here. An additional Index of Texts of Scripture will be found in the larger volume. CHAS. S. ROBINSON. Brooklyn, N. Y., March 1, 1865. > Cable of Contents ^>*y^=£>^> I.-PUBLIC WORSHIP : hymn 1.

Q\ AFELY through another week, O God has brought us on our way ; Let us now a blessing seek, "Waiting in his courts to-day : Day of all the week the best, Emblem of eternal rest. 2 While we seek supplies of grace, Through the dear Redeemer' s name, Show thy reconciling face — Take away our sin and shame ; From our worldly cares set free, — May we rest this day in thee. 3 Here we come thy name to praise ; Let us feel thy presence near ; May thy glory meet our eyes, While we in thy house appear : Here afford us, Lord, a taste Of our everlasting rest. 4 May the gospel's joyful sound Wake our minds to raptures new : Let thy victories abound, — Unrepenting souls subdue : Thus let all our Sabbaths prove, Till we rest in thee above. 1 & us Lie )roft.sizii>. Z.Jf. THINE earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love, But there' s a nobler rest above ; To that our longing souls aspire, With cheerful hope and strong desire. 2 No more fatigue, no more distress, Nor sin nor death shall reach the place ; No groans shall mingle with the songs That warble from immortal tongues. 3 No rude alarms of raging foes, No cares to break the long repose, No midnight shade, no clouded sun, But sacred, high, eternal noon. 4 O long-expected day, begin ! Dawn on these realms of woe and sin ; Fain would we leave this weary road, And sleep in death to rest with God. Ujihesicnis 3 : j9. Z, . Jlf. COME, gracious Lord, descend and dwell, By faith and love, in every breast ; Then shall we know, and taste, and feel The joys that cannot be expressed. 2 Come, fill our hearts with inward strength, Make our enlarged souls possess, And learn the height, and breadth, and length Of thine eternal love and grace. 3 Now to the God whose power can do More than our thoughts and wishes know, Be everlasting honors done, By all the church, through Christ his Son. 4 Z. Jr. Y opening eyes with rapture see The dawn of thy returning day ; My thoughts, O God, ascend to thee, While thus my early vows I pay. 3 M OTJSJVIJVG OF SEKTICE* Oh, bid this trifling world retire, And drive each carnal thought away ; Nor let me feel one vain desire — One sinful thought through all the day. Then, to thy courts when I repair, My soul shall rise on joyful wing, The wonders of thy love declare, And join the strains which angels sing. X.M. SWEET is the light of Sabbath eve, And soft the sunbeams lingering there ; For these blest hours the world I leave, Wafted on wings of faith and prayer. 2 The time how lovely and how still ; Peace shines and smiles on all below ; The plain, the stream, the wood, the hill, All fair with evening' s setting glow. 3 Season of rest ! the tranquil soul Feels the sweet calm, and melts to love ; And while these sacred moments roll, Faith sees the smiling heaven above. 4 Nor will our days of toil be long ; Our pilgrimage will soon be trod ; And we shall join the ceaseless song, The endless Sabbath of our God. Psalm 02 -Z . JW. SWEET is the work, my God, my King, To praise thy name, give thanks, and sing ; To show thy love by morning light, And talk of all thy truth at night. 2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest ; No mortal care shall seize my breast ; Oh, may my heart in tune be found, Like David's harp of solemn sound ! f*trBZ.IC H'OE v // / y\ 3 My heart shall triumph in my Lord, And bless his works and bless his word ; Thy works of grace, how bright they shine ! How deep thy counsels ! how divine 4 Lord, I shall share a glorious part, "When grace hath well refined my heart, And fresh Supplies of joy are shed, Like holy oil to cheer my head. 5 Then shall I see, and hear, and know All I desired or wished below ; And every power find sweet employ, In that eternal world of joy. 'Psalm Si.. Z. Jf. HOW pleasant, how divinely fair, O Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are ! With long desire my spirit faints, To meet th' assemblies of thy saints. 2 Blest are the saints who sit on high Around thy throne of majesty ; Thy brightest glories shine above, And all their work is praise and love. 3 Blest are the souls that find a place "Within the temple of tlry grace ; There they behold thy gentler rays. And seek thy face, and learn thy praise. 4 Blest are the men whose hearts are set To find the way to Zion' s gate ; God is their strength, and thro' the road They lean upon their helper, God. 5 Cheerful they walk with growing strength, Till all shall meet in heaven at length ; Till all before thy face appear, And join in nobler worship there.

Return, my soul ! enjoy thy rest, Improve the day thy God has blessed. 2 Oh, that our tho'ts and thanks may rise, As grateful incense to the skies ; And draw, from heaven, that sweet repose, Which none, but he that feels it, knows. 3 This heavenly calm, within the breast, Is the dear pledge of glorious rest, Which for the church of God remains — The end of cares, the end of pains. 4 In holy duties, let the day, In holy pleasures, pass away ; How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend, In hope of one that ne'er shall end. A WAKE, my soul, and with the sun -jlJl. Thy daily stage of duty run ; Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise To pay thy morning sacrifice. 2 Awake, lift up thyself, my heart, And with the angels bear thy part, "Who all night long unwearied sing High praises to tli' eternal King. 3 Glory to thee, who safe hast kept, And hast refreshed me while I slept ; Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake, I may of endless life partake. 4 Lord, I my vows to thee renew : Scatter my love as morning dew ; Guard my first springs of thought and will, And with thyself my spirit nil. 10 11 PU&JLIC WORSHIP. 5 Direct, control, suggest, this day, All I design, or do, or say : That all my powers, with all their might, In thy sole glory may unite. Psalm S4.. Z. Jf. GREAT God ! attend, while Zion sings The joy that from thy presence springs ; To spend one day with thee on earth Exceeds a thousand days of mirth. 2 Might I enjoy the meanest place Within thy house, O God of grace ! Not tents of ease, nor thrones of power, Should tempt my feet to leave thy door. 3 God is our sun, he makes our day ; God is our shield, he guards our way From all the assaults of hell and sin, From foes without, and foes within. 4 All needful grace will God bestow, And crown that grace with glory, too ; He gives us all things, and withholds No real good from upright souls. 5 0 God, our King, whose sovereign sway The glorious hosts of heaven obey, Display thy grace, exert thy power. Till all on earth thy name adore ! Psalm 57- ■£ ' JW* ETERNAL God, celestial King ! Exalted be thy glorious name ; Let hosts in heaven thy praises sing, And saints on earth thy love proclaim, 2 My heart is fixed on thee, my God 1 I rest my hope on thee alone ; I'll spread thy sacred truths abroad, To all mankind thy love make known.

With morning' s earliest dawn arise ; Let songs of joy my soul inspire, And swell your music to the skies. 4 With those who in thy grace abound, To thee I'll raise my thankful voice ; While every land the earth around, Shall hear, and in thy name rejoice. Y God, my King, thy various praise Shall fill the remnant of my days ; Thy grace employ my humble tongue, Till death and glory raise the song. 2 The wings of every hour shall bear Some thankful tribute to thine ear ; And every setting sun shall see New works of duty done for thee. 3 Let distant times and nations raise The long succession of thy praise ; And unborn ages make my song The joy and triumph of their tongue. 4 But who can speak thy wondrous deeds % Thy greatness all our thoughts exceeds ; Yast and unsearchable thy ways ! Yast and immortal be thy praise ! TRIUMPHANT Lord, thy goodness reigns Through all the wide celestial plains ; And its full streams unceasing flow Down to the abodes of men below. 2 Through nature's work its glories shine ; The cares of providence are thine ; And grace erects our ruined frame A fairer temple to thy name. o f* us Lie irons hi^. 3 Oh, give to every human heart To taste, and feel how good thou art ; With grateful love and reverent fear, To know how blest thy children are. 14 2>salm95.

THIS is the day the Lord hath made ; He calls the hours his own ; ' Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad, And praise surround the throne. 2 To-day he rose, and left the dead, And Satan' s empire fell ; To-day the saints his triumph spread, And all his wonders tell. 3 Hosanna to the anointed King, To David's holy Son; Help us, O Lord ; descend, and "bring Salvation from thy throne. 4 Blest Ibe the Lord, who comes to men With messages of grace ; Who comes, in God his Father' s name, To save our sinful race. 5 Hosanna in the highest strains The church on earth can raise ; The highest heavens, in which he reigns, Shall give him nobler praise. 17 Psalm 03. €. . If. EARLY, my God, without delay, I haste to seek thy face ; My thirsty spirit faints away, Without thy cheering grace. 2 I've seen thy glory and thy power Through all thy temple shine ; My God, repeat that heavenly hour, That vision so divine. 3 Not life itself, with all its joys, Can my best passions move, Or raise so high my cheerful voice. As thy forgiving love. 10 2T&ZZC WOZtSZtZT. 4 Tims, till my last expiring day, I'll bless my God and King ; Thus will I lift my hands to pray, And tune my lips to sing. 18 C. M. BLEST morning ! whose young dawning rays Beheld our rising God ; That saw him triumph o'er the dust, And leave his dark abode. 2 In the cold prison of a tomb The great Eedeemer lay, Till the revolving skies had brought The third, th' appointed day. 3 Hell and the grave combined their force To hold our Lord, in vain ; The sleeping conqueror arose, And burst their feeble chain. 4 To thy great name, almighty Lord, These sacred hours we pay, And loud hosannas shall proclaim The triumph of the day. 5 Salvation and immortal praise To our victorious King ! Let heaven and earth, and rocks and seas, With glad hosannas ring. Y soul, how lovely is the place, To which thy God resorts ! 'Tis heaven to see his smiling face, Though in his earthly courts.

With holy gifts and heavenly grace Be her attendants blest ! 6 My soul shall pray for Zion still, While life or breath remains : There my best friends, my kindred, dwell ; There God, my Saviour, reigns.

When heaven and earth shall raise With all their powers, the raptured lay, To celebrate thy praise. 15 C. M. COME, thou desire of all thy saints !
