The following extract from the Doctor's Preface, as it contains the plan of his 
 version of the Psalms, may be found useful : 
 
 "I come therefore to explain my own design, which is this : to accommodate the 
 Book of Psalms to Christian worship. And in order to this, it is necessary to divest 
 David and Asaph, &c, of eveiy other character but that of a psalmist and a saint^ 
 and to make them always speak the common sense and language of a Christian. 
 
 "Attempting the work with this view, I have entirely omitted several whole 
 psalms, and large pieces of many others : and have chosen out of all of them such 
 parts only as might easily and naturally be accommodated to the various occasions of 
 the Christian life, or at least might afford us some beautiful allusion to Christian 
 affairs. These I have copied and explained in the general style of the gospel ; nor 
 have I confined my expressions to any particular party or opinion ; that in words pre- 
 pared for public worship, and for the lips of multitudes, there might not be a syllable 
 offensive to sincere Christians, whose judgments may differ in the lesser matters of 
 religion. 
 
 " Where the Psalmist uses sharp invectives against his personal enemies, I have 
 endeavoured to turn the edge of them against our spiritual adversaries, sin, Satan 
 and temptation. Where the flights of his faith and love are sublime, I have often 
 sunk the expressions within the reach of an ordinary Christian : where the words 
 implysome peculiar wants or distresses, joys, or blessings, I have used words of greater 
 latitude and comprehension, suited to the general circumstances of men. 
 
 " Where the original runs in the form of .prophecy concerning Christ and his sal- 
 vation, I have given an historical turn to the sense : there is no necessity that we 
 should alwavs sing in the obscure and doubtful style of prediction, when the things 
 foretold are brought into open light by a full accomplishment. Where the writers 
 i of the New Testament have cited or alluded to any part of the Psalms, I have often 
 indulged the liberty of paraphrase according to the words of Christ or his apostles. 
 And surely this may be esteemed the word of God still, though borrowed from several 
 parts of the Holy Scripture. Where the Psalmist describes religion by the fear of 
 
God, I have often joined faith and love to it. Where he speaks of the pardon of sin, 
 through the mercies of God, I have added the roerita of a Saviour. Where he talks 
 of sacrificing goats or bullocks, I rather choose to mention the sacrifice of Christ the 
 Lamb of God. When he attends the ark with shouting into Zion, I sing the ascen- 
 sion of my Saviour into heaven, or his presence in his church on earth. Where he 
 promises abundance of wealth, honour, and long life, I have changed some of these 
 typical blessings for grace, glory, and life eternal, which are brought to light by the 
 gospel, and promised in the New Testament. And I am fully satisfied, that more 
 honour is done to our blessed Saviour, by speaking his name, his graces, and actions, 
 in his oWn language, according to the brighter discoveries he hath now made, than 
 by going back again to the Jewish forms of worship, and the language of types and 
 figures.' 
 
 Of choosing or finding Vu Psalm, 
 
 By consulting the Index at the end, any one may find hymns very proper for many 
 occasions of the Christian life and worship ; though no copy of David's Psalter can 
 provide for all, as I have shown in the Preface to the large edition. 
 
 Or, if he remembers the first line of any Psalm, the Table of the first lines will 
 direct where to find it. 
 
 Of tinging in course. 
 
 If any shall think it best to sing the Psalms in order, in churches or families, it may 
 be done with profit, provided those Psalms be omitted that refer to special occurrences 
 of nations, churches, or single Christians. 
 
 Of dividing the Psalms. 
 
 If the Psalm be too long for the time or custom of singing, there are pauses in 
 many of them at which you may properly rest ; or you may leave out those verses 
 which are included with crotchets [ ], without disturbing the sense ; or, in some 
 on may begin to sing at the pause.

 The way and end of the righteous and the 
 
 wicked. 
 
 1 TJLESSED is the man who shuns the 
 JD Where sinners love to meet ; [place 
 "Who fears to tread their wicked ways, 
 
 And hates the scoffer's seat : 
 
 2 But in the statutes of the Lord 
 
 Has placed his chief delight : 
 By day he reads or hears the word, 
 And meditates by night. 
 i [He, like a plant of generous kind, 
 By living waters set, 
 Safe from the storms of blasting wind 
 Enjoys a peaceful state.] 
 
 4 Green as the leaf, and ever fair, 
 
 Shall his profession shine, 
 
 While fruits of holiness appear 
 
 Like clusters on the vine. 
 
 5 Not so the impious and unjust ; 
 
 What vain designs they form ! 
 Their hopes are blown away like dust, 
 
 Or chaff before the storm. 
 S Sinners in judgment shall not stand 
 
 Amongst the sons of grace, 
 When Christ the Judge at his right hand 
 
 Appoints his saints a place. 
 
 7 His eve beholds the path they tread, 
 His heart approves it well ; 
 But crooked ways of sinnere lead 
 Down to the gates of hell. 
 
 L rp HE man is ever blessed 
 
 1 Who shuns the sinner's wavs, 
 Amongst their councils n^ver stands, 
 Nor takes the scorner's place ; 
 I But makes the law of God 
 His study and delight, 
 Amidst the" labours of the day, 
 And watches of the night. 
 
 3 He like a tree shall thrive, 
 With waters near the root ; 
 Fresh as the leaf his name shall live : 
 His works are heavenly fruit. 
 1 Not so the ungodly race, 
 Thev no such blessings find : 
 Their hope shall flee, like empty chaff, 
 Before the driving wind. 
 '■> How will they bear to stand 
 Before that judgment seat. 
 Where all the saints at Christ's right hand 
 In full assembly meet ? 
 3 He knows, and he approves, 
 The way the righteous go ; 
 But sinners and their works shall meet 
 A dreadful overthrow. 
 
 2 He loves t' employ the morning light 
 Amongst the statutes of the Lord ; 
 And spends the wakeful hours of night 
 With pleasure, pondering o'er his word. 
 
 3 He, like a plant by gentle streams, 
 Shall flourish in immortal green ; 
 And heaven will shine with kindest beams 
 On every work his hands begin. 
 
 4 But sinners find their counsels crossed ; 
 As chaff before the tempest flies, 
 
 So shall their hopes be blown and lost, 
 When the last trumpet shakes the skies. 
 
 5 In vain the rebel seeks to stand 
 In judgment witli the pious race ; 
 
 The dreadful Judge, with stern command 
 Divides him to a different place. 
 
 6 " Straight is the way my saints have trod, 
 I blessed the path, and drew it plain ; 
 But you would choose the crooked road, I 
 And "down it leads to endless pain. ' '

THE PSALMS OF DAVID. 
 
 2 The lying tempter would persuade 
 
 There's no relief in heaven ; 
 And all my swelling sins appear 
 Too big to be forgiven. 
 
 3 But thou, my glory and my strength, 
 
 Shalt on the tempter tread, 
 Shall silence all my threatening guilt, 
 And raise my drooping head. 
 
 4 [I cried, and from his holy hill 
 
 He bowed a listening ear ; 
 I called my Father and my God, 
 And he subdued my fear. 
 
 5 He shed soft slumbers on mine eyes, 
 
 In spite of all my foes ; 
 I woke, and wondered at the grace 
 That guarded my repose.] 
 
 6 What though the hosts of death and hell, 
 
 All armed, against me stood ? 
 Terrors no more shall shake my soul ; 
 My refuge is my God. 
 
 7 Arise, O Lord, fulfil thy grace, 
 
 While I thy glory sing : 
 My God has broke the serpent's teeth, 
 And death has lost his sting. 
 
 And reach beyond the grave. 
 
 L f\ Lord, how many are my foes, 
 yJ In this weak state of flesh and blood ! 
 
 I Tired with the burdens of the day, 
 To thee I raised my evening cry ; 
 Thou heard' st when I began to pray, 
 And thine almighty help was nigh. 
 
 3 Supported by thy heavenly aid, 
 
 I laid me down and slept secure ; 
 
 Not death should make my heart afraid 
 
 Though I should wake and rise no more. 
 
 4 But God sustained me all the night ; 
 Salvation doth to God belong ; 
 
 He raised my head to see the light, 
 And made his praise my morning song.

 Thou hast enlarged me in distress, 
 Bow down a gracious ear again. 
 
 I Ye sons of men, in vain ye try 
 To turn my glory into shame : 
 How long will scoffers love to lie, 
 And dare reproach my Saviour's name ? 
 
 3 Know that the Lord divides his saints 
 From all the tribes of men beside ; 
 He hears the cry of penitents 
 For the dear sake of Christ that died. 
 
 4 When our obedient hands have done 
 A thousand works of righteousness, 
 We put our trust in God alone, 
 And glory in his pardoning grace.

 To plead for all his saints, 
 Presenting at his Father's throne 
 Our songs and our complaints. 
 
 3 Thou art a God, before whose sight 
 
 The wicked shall not stand : 
 
 Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight, 
 
 Nor dwell at thy right hand. 
 
 4 But to thy house will I resort, 
 
 To taste thy mercies there ; 
 I will frequent thine holy court, 
 And worship in thy fear.

 In ways of righteousness ! 
 Make every path of duty straight 
 And plain before my face.

 While those who in thv mercy trust

 A ^ Complaint of a general corruption of 
 
 Religion loses ground : 
 The sons of violence prevail, 
 And treacheries abound. 
 
 2 Their oaths and promises they break, 
 
 Yet act the flatterer's part : 
 With fair deceitful lips they speak, 
 And with a double heart. 
 
 3 If we reprove some hateful lie, 
 
 How is their fury stirred ! 
 "Are not our lips our own," they cry, 
 " And who shall be our Lord? " 
 
 4 Scoffers appear on every side, 
 
 Where a vile race of men 
 Are raised to seats of power and pride, 
 And bear the sword in vain. 
 
 5 Lord, when iniquities abound, 
 
 And blasphemy grows bold, 
 When faith is hardly to be found, 
 And love is waxing cold ; 
 
 6 Is not thy chariot hastening on? 
 
 Hast thou not given this sign ? 
 May we not trust and live upon 
 A promise so divine ? 
 
 7 " Yes," saith the Lord, " now will I rise, 
 
 And make oppressors flee ; 
 
 I shall appear to their surprise, 
 
 And set my servants free." 
 
 8 Thy word, like silver seven times tried, 
 
 Through ages shall endure ; 
 
 The men that in thy truth confide 
 
 Shall find thy promise sure.

 Canst thou thy face for ever hide ;

 Still shall my soul thine absence mourn ;

 Before mv death conclude mv grief: 
 
 If thou withhold'st thy heavenly light, 
 I sleep in everlasting night. 
 
 5 How will the powers of darkness boast, 
 If but one praying soul be lost ! 
 
 But I have trusted in thy grace, 
 And shall again behold thy face.

 Thou art my hope, my joy, my rest ; 
 My heart shall feel thy love, and raise 
 My cheerful voice to songs of praise. 
 
 My God, how long delay ? 
 When shall I feel those heavenly rays 
 That chase my fears away ? 
 
 2 How long shall my poor labouring soul 
 
 Wrestle and toil in vain ? 
 Thy word can all my foes control, 
 And ease my raging pain. 
 
 3 See how the prince of darkness tries 
 
 All his malicious arts, 
 He spreads a mist around my eyes, 
 And throws his fiery darts. 
 
 4 Be thou my sun, be thou my shield ; 
 
 My soul in safety keep ; 
 Make haste, before mine eyes are sealed 
 In death's eternal sleep. 
 
 5 How will the tempter boast aloud, 
 
 If I become his prey! 
 Behold the sons of he'll grow proud 
 At thy so long delay. 
 
 6 But they shall fly at thy rebuke, 
 
 And Satan hide his head ; 
 He knows the terrors of thy look, 
 And hears thy voice with dread.

 There is no God that reigns on high,

 Corrupt discourse proceeds ; 
 And in their impious hands are found 
 Abominable deeds. 
 
 3 The Lord, from his celestial throne, 
 
 Looked down on things below, 
 To find the man that sought his grace, 
 Or did his justice know.

 There 's none that loves his name.

 When they shall see, with sore surprise, 
 The terrors of thy power.

 2 [He walks awhile concealed 
 In a self-flattering dream, 
 
 Till his dark crimes at once revealed 
 Expose his hateful name.] 
 
 3 His heart is false and foul, 
 His words are smooth and fair ; 
 
 Wisdom is banished from his soul, 
 And leaves no goodness there. 
 
 4 He plots upon his bed 
 New mischiefs to fulfil ; 
 
 He sets his heart, and hand, and head, 
 To practise all that's ill. 
 
 5 But there's a dreadful God, 
 Though men renounce his fear ; 
 
 His justice hid behind the cloud 
 Shall one great day appear. 
 
 6 His truth transcends the sky ; 
 In heaven his mercies dwell ; 
 
 Deep as the sea his judgments lie, 
 His anger burns to hell.

 Whence all our safety springs ! 
 
 O never let my soul remove 
 From underneath his wings !

 So shall I dwell among the just,

 Thy hand, which guides my doubtful feet,

 Though providence should long delay 
 To punish haughty vice.

 The Lord derides them, for he sees 
 
 Their day of vengeance come.

 Have bent the murderous bow, [sword, 
 To slay the men that fear the Lord, 
 And bring the righteous low.

 What he has learned of God.

 And from my bonds released my feet,

 I t CAVE me, O God; the swelling floods 
 
 ^ Break in upon my soul : 
 I sink, and sorrows o'er my head 
 Like mighty waters roll. 
 
 2 ' I cry till all my voice be gone, . 
 
 In tears I waste the day : 
 My God, behold my long"ing eyes, 
 And shorten thy delay. 
 
 3 ' They hate my soul without a cause ; 
 
 And still their number grows, 
 More than the hairs around my head 
 And mighty are my foes. 
 
 4 ' 'Twas then I paid that dreadful debt 
 
 That men could never pay ; 
 And gave those honours to thy law 
 Which sinners took away.' 
 
 5 Thus, in the great Messiah's name, 
 
 The royal prophet mourns ; 
 Thus he awakes our hearts to grief, 
 And gives us joy by turns. 
 
 6 ' Now shall the saints rejoice, and find 
 
 Salvation in my name, 
 For I have borne their heavy load 
 Of sorrow, pain, and shame. 
 
 7 ' Grief, like agarment, clothed me round, 
 
 And sackcloth was my dress ; 
 While I procured for naked souls 
 A robe of righteousness. 
 
 8 ' Amongst my brethren and the Jews 
 
 I like a stranger stood, 
 And bore their vile reproach, to bring 
 The Gentiles near to God. 
 
 9 ' I came in sinful mortals' stead 
 
 To do my Father's will; 
 Yet when I cleansed my Father's house, 
 
 They scandabzed my zeal. 
 10 ' My fasting and my holy groans 
 
 Were made the drunkard's song 
 But God, from his celestial throne, 
 
 Heard my complaining tongue. 
 
 II ' He saved me from the dreadful deep, 
 
 Nor let my soul be drowned ; 
 He raised and fixed my sinking feet 
 On well established ground. 
 12 ' 'Twas in a most accepted hour 
 My prayer arose on high : 
 And for my sake my God shall hear 
 The dying sinner's cry.'

 And greedy as they fed. 
 His vengeance burnt with secret fire,

 1 TT EAR me, O God, nor hide thy face, 
 LL But answer, lest I die ; 
 
 Hast thou not built a throne of grace, 
 To hear when sinners cry ? 
 
 2 My days are wasted, like the smoke 
 
 Dissolving in the air; 
 My strength is dried, my heart is broke, 
 And sinking in despair. 
 
 3 My spirits flag like withering grass 
 
 Burnt with excessive heat ; 
 In secret groans my minutes pass, 
 And I forget to eat. 
 
 4 As on some lonely building's top 
 
 The sparrow tells her moan, 
 Far from the tents of joy and hope, 
 I sit and grieve alone. 
 
 5 My soul is like a wilderness, 
 
 Where beasts of midnight howl ; 
 There the sail raven finds her place, 
 And there the screaming owl. 
 
 6 Dark, dismal thoughts, and boding fears, 
 
 Dwell in my troubled breast ; 
 While sharp reproaches wound my ears, 
 Nor give my spirit rest. 
 
 7 My cup is mingled with my woes, 
 
 And tears are mv repast ; 
 Mv dailv bread, like ashes, grows 
 Unpleasant to my taste. 
 
 8 Sense can afford no real joy, 
 
 To souls that feel thy trown ; 
 Lord, 'twas thv hand advanced me high, 
 Thy hand hath cast me down. 
 
 9 Mv looks like withered leaves appear, 
 
 And life's declining light 
 Grows faint, as evening shadows are, 
 That vanish into night. 
 
 10 But thou for ever art the same, 
 
 O mv eternal God ! 
 Ages to come shall know thy name, 
 And spread thy works abroad. 
 
 11 Thou wilt arise and show thy face ; 
 
 Nor will my Lord delay 
 Bevond the appointed hour of grace, 
 That long expected day.

 And by mysterious wavs 
 Redeems the prisoners doomed to die, 
 And fills their tongues with praise.

 2 The heavens are for his curtains spread. 
 The unfathomed deep he makes his bed ; 
 Clouds are his chariot, when he flies 
 
 On winged storms across the skies. 
 
 3 Angels whom his own breath inspires, 
 His ministers, are flaming fires ; 
 
 And swift as thought their armies move 
 To bear his vengeance or his love. 
 
 4 The world's foundations by his hand 
 Are poised, and shall for ever stand ; 
 He binds the ocean in his chain, 
 Lest it should drown the earth again. 
 
 5 When earth was covered with the flood, 
 Which high above the mountains stood, 
 He thundered, and the ocean fled, 
 Confined to its appointed bed. 
 
 6 The swellimr billows know their bound, 
 And in their channels walk their round ; 
 Yet thence conveyed by secret veins, 
 They spring on hills, and drench the 
 
 plains.

 And cheer the vallevs as thev go ; 
 Tame heifers there their thirst allay, 
 And for the stream wild asses bray.

 PAUSE THE FIRST. 
 
 9 God from his cloudv cistern pours 
 
 On the parched earth enriching showers ; 
 The grove, the garden, and the field, 
 A thousand joyful blessings yield. 
 
 10 He makes the grassy food arise, 
 And gives the cattle large supplies ; 
 With herbs for man. of various power, 
 To nourish nature, or to cure. 
 
 11 What noble fruit the vines prodtice ! 
 The olive yields a shining juice ; [wine, 
 Our hearts are cheered with generous 
 With inward joy our faces shine. 
 
 12 O bless his name, ve Britons ! fed 
 With nature's chief supporter, bread ; 
 While bread your vital strength imparts, 
 Serve him with vigour in your hearts. 
 
 PAUSE THE SECOND. 
 
 13 Behold the stately cedar stands. 
 Raised in the forest by his hands ; 
 Birds to the boughs for shelter flv, 
 And build their nests secure on high. 
 
 14 To craggy hills ascends the goat, 
 And at the airy mountain's foot 
 
 The feebler creatures make their cell ; 
 He gives them wisdom where to dwell. 
 
 15 He sets the sun his circling race, 
 Appoints the moon to change her face. 
 And when thick darkness veils the dav. 
 Calls out wild beasts to hunt their prey. 
 
 16 Fierce lions lead their young abroad, 
 And roaring, ask their meat from God ; 
 But when the morning-beams arise, 
 The savage beast to covert flies. 
 
 17 Then man to daily labour goes ; 
 The night was made for his repose: 
 Sleep is thy gift ; that sweet relief 
 From tiresome toil and wasting grief. 
 
 IS How strange thy works ! how great thv 
 And even- land thv riches fill ; [skill '! 
 Thy wisdom round the world we see ; 
 This spacious earth is full of thee. 
 
 19 Nor less thy glories in the deep, 
 Where fish "in millions swim and creep, 
 With wondrous motions, swift or slow, 
 Still wandering in the paths below. 
 
 20 There ships divide their watery way, 
 And flocks of scalv monsters plav; 
 There dwells the huge leviathan." 
 And foams and sports in spite of man. 
 
 PAUSE THE THIRD. 
 
 21 Vast are thy works, Almighty Loru ! 
 All nature rests upon thy word, 
 
 And the whole race of creatures stands, 
 Waiting their portion from thv hands.

 I have collected and disposed the most useful

 but the verses are much transposed, to attain 
 some degree of connexion. 
 
 In some places, among the words, law, com- 
 mands, judgment*, testimonies, i^c , I have used, 
 gospel, word, grace, truth, promises. &>'., as more 
 agreeable to the New Testament and the common

 PREFACE 
 
 The following extracts from the Doctor's Preface contain the substance of his 
 plan in the three different parts into which the Hymns are divided ; the whole 
 would have exceeded the limits of a small book. 
 
 "Far be it from my thoughts to lay aside the Book of Psalms in public 
 worship ; few can pretend so great a value for them as myself: it is the most 
 noble, most devotional, and divine collection of poesy ; and nothing can be sup- 
 posed more proper to raise a pious soul to heaven tban some parts of that book ; 
 never was a piece of experimental divinity so nobly written, and so justly 
 reverenced and admired: but it must be acknowledged still, that there are a 
 thousand lines in it which were not made for a church in our days to assume as 
 its own. There are also many deficiencies of light and glory which our Lord Jesus 
 and his apostles have supplied in the writings of the New Testament : and with 
 this advantage I have composed these Spiritual Songs, which are now presented 
 to the world. Nor is the attempt vain-glorious or presuming : for in respect of 
 clear evangelical knowledge, ' The least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than 
 all the Jewish prophets,' Matt. xi. 11. 
 
 " Now let me give a short account of the following composures. 
 
 " The greatest part of them are suited to the general state of the gospel, and the 
 
rUI a< i: to TBI 11 . 
 
 I hope there will be very few found but what 
 
 > ,1 in a religious assembly, and not one of them bir 
 
 either of private or public worship. T!.> 
 
 quent tempers and changes of our spirit, and conditions of our life, are 1 • 
 
 and the breathings of our piety expressed according to the variety of ooi 
 
 our love, our fear, our hope, our desire, our sorrow, our wonder, and our j 
 
 d into devotion, and act under the influence and conduct of tbi 
 Spirit: all conversing with God the Father, 'by the new and living Way 
 to the throne, even the person and the mediation of our Lord Jesus Chr.-- 
 also, even ' to the Lamb that was slain, and now lives,' I have addressed many a 
 song; for thus doth the Holy Scripture instruct and teach us to worship in the 
 various patterns of Christ; . ilied in the Revelation 
 
 " I have aimed at ease of numbers, and smoothness of sound, and endeavoured 
 to make the sense plain and obvious. If the verse appears so gentle and flowing 
 as to incur the censure of feebleness, I may honestly affirm, that sometn. 
 me labour to make it so." 
 
 In the first part I have borrowed the sense and much of the form of the Bong 
 
 from some particular portions of Scripture, and have paraphrased most of the 
 
 doxologies in the New Testament, that contain any thing in them peculiarly evan- 
 
 the Old Testament also, that have a reference to the 
 
 " The second part consists of hymns whose form is mere human composure ; but 
 
 I hope the sense and materials will always appear divine. I might ha\ 
 
 some text or other, and applied it to the margin of every verse, if this method had 
 
 If there be any poems in the book that are capable 
 
 of giving delight to persons of a more refined taste and polite education, perhaps 
 
 be found in this part ; but except they lay aside the humour of criticism,

 I Let elders worship at his feet, 
 The church adore around, 
 With vials full of odours sweet, 
 And harps of sweeter sound.

 And these the hymns they raise,— 
 Jesus is kind to our complaints, 
 He loves to hear our praise.

 Into thv secret will ? 
 Who but the Son shall take that book, 
 And open every seal ? 
 
 j He shall fulfil thy great decrees, 
 The Son desires it well : 
 Lo ! in his hand the sovereign keys 
 Of heaven, and death, and hell !] 
 
 6 Now to the Lamb that once was slain 
 
 Be endless blessings paid ; 
 Salvation, glory, jo>\ remain 
 For ever on thy head. 
 
 7 Thou hast redeemed our souls with blood, 
 
 Hast set the prisoners free ; 
 Hast made us kines and priests to God, 
 And we shall reign with thee. 
 
 8 The worlds of nature and of grace 
 
 Are put beneath thy power ; 
 
 Then shorten these delaying days, 
 
 And bring the promised hour.

PREFACE. 
 
 The Trustees of the Hymn-book which was published ten 
 years ago under the title of " A New Selection," have had great 
 reason to rejoice in the success which has attended the under- 
 taking. More than 60,000 copies have been sold ; the capital 
 which had been borrowed for the enterprise has been repaid ; and 
 profits, to the amount of nearly £900, have been distributed 
 among the widows of Baptist Ministers and Missionaries. 
 
 The introduction of the volume into many congregations has 
 however been impeded by the absence of certain hymns which 
 had established themselves in the affections of devout persons 
 who had been long accustomed to their use. In some of the 
 churches in which the book has been cordially received, it has 
 also been thought that it would be an improvement if these hymns 
 were added. The Trustees were long restrained from compliance 
 with a wish in which they themselves participated, by a reluctance 
 to make such alterations as might occasion inconvenience to the 
 possessors of the volume in its existing state. They felt also that j 
 a new hymn-book must always sustain disadvantage in a com- j 
 parison instituted between it and the hymn-book, be it what it 
 might, which had enlisted in its favour the recollections of youth, 
 and of those early scenes in Christian experience, which are often 
 remembered with emotions of deep interest in more advanced 
 stages of the human life. The hymn-book which a Christian used 
 in the morning of his day, is often associated in his subsequent 
 
feelings with the first surrender of his heart to Christ, with the 
 consolation which succeeded to fear and anxiety, and with the 
 friends with whom he then worshipped, some of whom have been 
 endeared since by removal to other apartments in their Father's 
 house. To make any material alteration in the work, was to en- 
 counter again these prepossessions, and to part with advantage 
 which was beginning to accrue from the same principles of our 
 nature. At length, however, the Trustees determined to consult 
 judicious friends in various parts of the kingdom on the - 
 and the answers which they received evinced a prevalent desire 
 both that an addition should be made to the number of the hymns, 
 and that a new arrangement of the whole should be adopted. 
 
 A Committee was therefore appointed to revise and enlarge the 
 work. They have deliberated both separately and unitedly on a 
 great number of suggestions made to them, from various quarters, 
 respecting the omission, addition, and alteration of particular 
 hymns. In doing this, they have had ample evidence of the 
 diversity of taste existing among their friends, and of the absolute 
 impossibility of producing a hymn book which should secure 
 unanimous approval. In submitting the result to the attention 
 of the churches, they feel, nevertheless, a strong hope that this 
 hymn-book will be generally regarded as a decided improvement 
 upon its precursors. The responsibility has not rested on anyone 
 individual: each member of the Committee has found it i 
 in some cases to yield to the opinion of his coadjutors. Each 
 has had to surrender some hymns the introduction of which he 
 advocated, and to submit to the admission of Borne against which 
 he gave his individual vote. They believe, however, that nothing 
 essential to the excellence of a hymn-book for the denomination 
 has been omitted, and thai nothing worthy of decided d 
 j bation has been retained Their task would have been I 
 i if it could have been sn] ; neral con- 
 
 to make the book double its [tnow contains 
 
 one hundred hymns more than the former edition! 
 
 rincipally hymn-, derived from Dr. Watts's 
 i I Ser sons, which are usually printed in recent 
 
of his hymn-book, and which could therefore be spared from 
 the supplementary volume. 
 
 To obviate the inconvenience to the possessors of former 
 editions which would otherwise arise from the introduction of this 
 new one, the hymns have been printed with double numbers, the 
 number of the hymns in the old editions being inclosed in 
 brackets. For example, as the 100th hymn in the former 
 arrangement is the 215th in this, the hymn can be announced to 
 the congregation thus : "The 215th hymn in the Selection; old 
 editions, hymn 100th." In congregations into which the book is 
 now for the first time introduced, this will of course be unnecessary. 
 Should any congregation in which the work has gained acceptance 
 prefer confining themselves, for the present, to the hymns which 
 were in the former editions, the person who selects the hymns can 
 do this, as he can see at a glance whether a hymn is one of the 
 new, or one of the old ones. Still further to obviate difficulty, a 
 table is appended by which a hymn announced according to the 
 arrangement in the old book, can at once be found in this. 
 
 The Committee have felt exceedingly averse to a practice in 
 which the compilers of hymn-books have generally indulged, of 
 altering according to their respective tastes the compositions which 
 they have selected. In by far the greater number of instances, 
 such alterations have impaired the consistency and beauty of the 
 hymn, instead of improving it. Yet so extensively has this 
 practice prevailed, that it is often impossible to return to the 
 original without seeming to introduce a novelty. No plan can be 
 adopted which shall not wear the appearance of having made 
 arbitrary amendments. If four persons have used four different 
 selections, it will be found on comparison that many a verse has 
 four different readings, while perhaps the original differs from 
 them all ; in coming, therefore, to the use of one book, three of 
 them at least must find a different reading from that with which 
 he is familiar. In some popular hymns the various readings are 
 so numerous that identity is almost lost, and the original cannot 
 now be ascertained. In many cases the Committee have felt that 
 they had only a choice of evils before them; but they have 
 
generally, other things being equal, given a preference to the 
 words of the original miter. Sometimes, howewr, when the 
 variation was not injurious, and had been familiarized to the public 
 ear, it has been thought best to adopt it. 
 
 Great care has been taken to render the indexes of b 
 subjects both copious and correct. 
 
 May the result of this undertaking which has proved to some 
 who have engaged in it far more laborious than they had antici- 
 pated, be an alleviation of the sorrows of many who have shared 
 in the privations sad cans to which the ministers of Christ are 
 often subject; the advancement of devotional propriety in the 
 churches of our Lord ; and an increase of glory to him who de- 
 serves our best homage, and whom we hope to praise hereafter in 
 strains incomparably superior to any which the most gifted 
 inhabitants of this vale of tears can furnish. 
 
 The preceding observations were written in the year 1838. Since that 
 time the sale of the hymn-book has materially increased. When the 
 accounts were made up at Midsummer 1844, more than one hundred and 
 forty thousand copies had been sold, and the sum which the Trustees 
 had bad the pleasure of distributing among the widows and orphans of 
 ministers and missionaries exceeded eighteen hundred pounds.

SELECTION OF HYMNS. 
 
 THE CREATOR. 
 
 TL.M. Warrington 51. Caton 52. 
 
 The one living and true God. 
 Deuteronomy vi. 4. Acts xiv. 15. 
 
 1 I? TERN AL God! Almighty Cause 
 
 Xj Of earth, and seas, and worlds un- 
 known ; 
 All things are subject to thy laws, 
 All things depend on thee alone. 
 
 2 Thy glorious Being singly stands, 
 Of all within itself possest, 
 Controlled by none are thy commands ; 
 Thou from thyself alone art blest. 
 
 3 To thee alone ourselves we owe ; 
 
 Let heaven and earth due homage pay ; 
 All other gods we disavow, 
 Deny their claims, renounce their sway. 
 i Spread thy great name through every land ; 
 Each idol deity dethrone ; 
 Reduce the world to thy command, 
 And reign unrivalled, God alone.

 The self-existent Jehovah. 
 Exod. iii. 13, 14. Rom. xi. 34—36. [19J 
 
 1 "\TTHAT is our God, or what his name, 
 
 VV Nor men can learn, nor angels teach; 
 He dwells concealed in radiant flame, 
 Where neither eyes nor thoughts can 
 reach. 
 
 2 The spacious worlds of heavenly light, 
 Compared with him how short they fall ! 
 Thev are too dark, and he too bright; 
 Nothing are they, and God is all. 
 
 3 He spoke the wondrous word, and lo, 
 Creation rose at his command ! 
 Whirlwinds and seas their limits know, 
 Bound in the hollow of his hand. 
 
 4 There rests the earth, there roll the 
 
 spheres, 
 There nature leans and feels her prop ; 
 But his own self-suftkience bears 
 The weight of his own glories up. 
 
 5 [The tide of creatures ebbs and flows, 
 Measuring their changes by the moon ; 
 No ebb his sea of glory knows ; 
 
 His age is one eternal noon.] 
 
 6 Then fly, my song, an endless round ; 
 The lofty tune let Michael raise ; 
 
 All nature dwell upon the sound ; 
 But we can ne'er fulfil the praise.

 The high and lofty One. 
 Isa. lvii. 15. 1 Tim. vi. 16. [18] 
 
 1 "EXTERNAL Power! whose high abode 
 -Ei Becomes the grandeur of a God ; 
 Infinite length beyond the bounds 
 Where stars revolve their little rounds. 
 
 2 The lowest step beneath thy seat 
 Rises too high for Gabriel's feet : 
 In vain the tall archangel tries 
 
 To reach thy height with wondering eyes. 
 
 3 Thy dazzling beauties whilst he sings, 
 He hides his face behind his wings ; 
 And ranks of shining thrones around 
 Fall worshipping and spread the ground. 
 
 4 Lord ! what shall earth and ashes do ? 
 We would adore our Maker too ; 
 From sin and dust to thee we crv, 
 
 " The great, the holy, and the high." 
 
 5 Earth from afar has heard thy fame, 
 And worms have learnt to lisp thy name ; 
 But oh ! the glories of thy mind

 2 Our rising earth, his eve beheld 
 When, in substantial darkness veiled, 
 The shapeless chaos, nature's womb, 
 Lay buried in eternal gloom. 
 
 3 " Let there be light," Jehovah said, 
 And light o'er all its face was spread ; 
 Nature arrayed in charms unknown, 
 Gay with its new-born lustre shone. 
 
 4 He sees the mind, when lost it lies 
 In shades of ignorance and vice ; 
 And darts from heaven a vivid ray, 
 And changes midnight into day. 
 
 5 Shine, mighty God, with vigour shine, 
 On this benighted heart of mine ; 
 And let thv glories stand revealed, 
 
 As in the Saviour's face beheld.

 2 In life's first dawn, my tender frame 
 
 Was thy indulgent care, 
 Long ere I could pronounce thy name, 
 Or breathe the infant prayer. 
 
 3 Each rolling year new favours brought 
 
 From thy exhaustless store ; 
 But ah ! in vain my labouring thought 
 Would count thy mercies o'er. 
 
 4 While sweet reflection, through my days 
 
 Thy bounteous hand would trace ; 
 Still dearer blessings claim my praise, 
 The blessings of thy grace. 
 
 5 Yes, I adore thee, gracious Lord ! 
 
 For favours more divine ; 
 That I have known thy sacred word, 
 Where all thy glories shine. 
 
 6 Lord, when this mortal frame decays, 
 
 And every weakness dies, 
 Complete the wonders of thy grace, 
 And raise me to the skies. 
 
 7 Then shall my joyful powers unite 
 
 In more exalted lays, 
 Arid join the happy sons of light 
 In everlasting praise. 
 
 ■ ■ My rising soul surveys ; 
 Transported with the view, I'm lost 
 In wonder, love, and praise. 
 
 2 O how shall words, with equal warmth, 
 
 The gratitude declare, 
 That glows within my thankful heart !— 
 But thou canst read it there. 
 
 3 To all my weak complaints and cries 
 
 Thy mercy lent an ear, 
 Ere yet my "feeble thoughts had learnt 
 To form themselves in prayer. 
 
 4 When in the slippery paths of youth 
 
 With heedless steps I ran, 
 Thine arm unseen conveyed me safe, 
 And led me up to man. 
 
 5 Through hidden dangers, toils, and 
 
 It cleared my dubious way ; [deaths, 
 And through the pleasing snares of vice, 
 More to be feared than they. 
 
 6 When worn with sickness, oft hast thou 
 
 With health renewed my face ; 
 And when in sins and sorrows sunk, 
 Revived my soul with grace. 
 
 7 Through every period of my life 
 
 Thy goodness I'll pursue ; 
 And after death, in distant worlds, 
 The glorious theme renew. 
 
 8 When nature fails, and day and night 
 
 Divide thy works no more, 
 My ever grateful heart, O Lord ! 
 Thy mercy shall adore. 
 
 9 Through all eternity to thee 
 
 A joyful song I'll raise : 
 
 For oh ! eternity's too short 
 
 To utter all thy praise.

 None in vain for healing came,

 3 He could make the leper whole ; 
 Thousands at a meal he fed ; 
 Winds and waves could he control ; 
 By a word he raised the dead. 
 
 4 Listening sinners round him pressed 
 Whilst he taught the way to bliss ; 
 Even enemies confessed, 
 
 " No man ever spake like this." 
 
 5 [Children once to him were brought, 
 His benignant power to prove ; 
 Some disciples harshly thought 
 Their intrusion to reprove. 
 
 6 " Suffer them to come to me, 
 Hinder not their free access ; 
 Children shall my kingdom see — 
 Children I delight to bless." 
 
 7 So he spake, and in his arms 
 Clasped the little helpless things ; 
 As the hen her chickens warms 
 Underneath her downy wings.]

 Jesus, the angels' sweetest theme ! 
 
 The wonder of the skies ! 
 
 2 Well might the skies with wonder view 
 
 A love so strange as thine ! 
 No thoi - r knew 
 
 Compassion so divine ! 
 
 3 Didst thou forsake thy radiant crown, 
 
 And boundless realms of day, 
 (Aside thy robes of glory thrown), 
 To dwell in feeble clay ? 
 
 4 Victorious love ! can language tell 
 
 The wonders of thy power. 
 Winch conquered all the foes of hell, 
 In that tremendous hour ? 
 
 ! 5 Is there a heart that will not bend 
 To thy divine control ? 
 Descend, O Sovereign Love, descend, 
 And melt that stubborn soul. 
 
 6 O may our willing hearts confess 
 
 Thy sweet, thy gentle sway ; 
 Glad captives of resistless grace, 
 Thy pleasing rule obey ! 
 
 7 Come, dearest Lord, extend thy reign, 
 
 Till rebels rise no more ; 
 Thy praise all nature then shall join. 
 And heaven and earth adore, steele.

 Praise and bless redeeming love. 
 
 3 Mourning souls ! drv up your tears ; 
 Banish ad your gui - 
 
 See your guilt and curse remove, 
 Cancelled by redeeming love. 
 
 4 Ye. alas ! who long have heen, 
 Willing slaves to death and sin, 
 Now from bliss no longer rove, 
 Stop, and taste redeeming love. 
 
 5 Welcome all by sin oppressed, 
 Welcome to the Saviour's breast ; 
 Nothing brought him from above, 
 Nothing but redeeming love. 
 
 6 Hither, then, your music bring, 
 Strike aloud each tuneful string ; 
 Mortals join the host above. 
 Join to praise redeeming love.

 When he's the subject of the song, 
 Who can refuse to sing ? 
 
 2 Survey the beauties of his face, 
 
 And on his glories dwell ; 
 Think of the wonders of his grace, 
 And all his triumphs tell. 
 
 3 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned 
 
 Upon his awful brow ; 
 His head with radiant dories crowned, 
 His lips with grace o'erflow. 
 
 4 No mortal can with him compare 
 
 Among the sons of men : 
 Fairer he is than all the fan- 
 That till the heavenly train. 
 
 5 He saw me plunged in deep distress ; 
 
 He flew to my relief ; 
 For me he bore the shameful cross, 
 And carried all my grief. 
 
 6 His hand a thousand blessings pours 
 
 And guards my sleeping bed. 
 
 7 To him I owe my life and breath, 
 
 And all the joys I have : 
 He makes me triumph over death, 
 And saves me from the grave. 
 
 8 To heaven, the place of his abode, 
 
 He brings my weary feet ; 
 Shows me the glories of my God, 
 And makes my joys complete. 
 
 9 Since from thv bounty I receive 
 
 Such proofs of love divine, 
 Had I a thousand hearts to give, 
 Lord, they should all be thine.

 To spread the wonders of thy love 
 In a melodious song.

 I [As nothing can its power withstand, 
 But him who holds it in his hand, 
 So are the soul's corruptions slain, 
 When once that soul is born again.] 
 
 3 [As o'er our frames we feel the gale 
 Gentlv or mightily prevail, 
 
 So some are softly drawn to heaven, 
 And others as by tempests driven.] 
 
 4 [And as the herbs, the flowers, the trees, 
 Are seen to bend beneath the breeze, 
 
 So visible the change we view, 
 
 When grace doth thus the heart renew.] 
 
 5 Come, Holy Spirit, and impart 
 Thy secret virtue to each heart; 
 And let this be the happy hour 
 
 To show thy mighty quickening power. 
 
 Unconscious of its load! 
 The heart, unchanged, can never rise 
 To happiness and God. 
 2 Can aught beneath a power divine 
 The stubborn will subdue ? 
 'Tis thine, Eternal Spirit, thine 
 To form the heart anew. 
 i 'Tis thine the passions to recall, 
 And upwards bid them rise : 
 To make the scales of error fall 
 From reason's darkened eyes. 
 1 To chase the shades of death away, 
 And bid the sinner live ; 
 A beam of heaven, a vital ray, 
 'Tis thine alone to give.

 I cast away his gifts with scorn.

 While pillowing roses stayed my head : 
 But serpents hissed among the flowers ; 
 
 I 'woke, and thorns were all my bed.]

 And placed in sordid gains my trust, 
 I found that gold was all alloy, 
 And worldly treasure fleeting dust.]

 My faith discerns a dawn of grace ; 
 The Sun of Righteousness appears

 None ever perished at thy feet, 
 And I will lie for ever there.

 And made, his glories known ; 
 There fruits of heavenly ioy and peace 
 Are found, and there alone.

 A sense of pardoning love, 
 A hope that triumphs over death, 
 Give joys like those above. 
 
 4 To take a glimpse within the veil, 
 
 To know that God is mine, 
 Are springs of joy that never fail,

 Thy face no frowning aspect wears, 
 Thy hand no vengeful thunder bears.

 Doth, with a softened lustre shine ; 
 And, while my faith beholds it near, 
 I bid farewell to every fear. 
 
 3 Let me my grateful homage pay ; 
 With courage sing, with fervour prav, 
 And though a sinner, quite undone," 
 Hope for acceptance through thy Son—

 Expired to set the vilest free ;

 1 "DRAYER is the soul's sincere desire, 
 -T Uttered or unexpressed; 
 
 The motion of a hidden fire. 
 That trembles in the breast. 
 
 2 Praver is the burden of a sigh, 
 
 The falling of a tear ; 
 The upward glancing of an eye, 
 When none but God is near. 
 
 3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech 
 
 That infant lips can try ; 
 Praver the sublimest strains, that reach 
 The Majesty on high. 
 
 4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, 
 
 The Christian's native air ; 
 His watch-word at the gates of death ; 
 He enters heaven with prayer. 
 
 5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, 
 
 Returning from his ways ! 
 While angels in their songs rejoice, 
 And ciy, " Behold, he prays !" 
 
 6 The saints in prayer appear as one, 
 
 In word, and deed, and mind ; 
 While with the Father and the Son, 
 Sweet fellowship they find. 
 
 7 [Nor praver is made on earth alone ; 
 
 The Holy Spirit pleads. 
 And Jesus, on the eternal throne, 
 For mourners intercedes.]

 -It Who makes your cause his own ; 
 The hope that's built upon his word 
 
 Can ne'er be overthrown. 
 
 2 Though many foes beset your road, 
 
 And feeble is your arm ; 
 Your life is hid with Christ, in God, 
 Beyond the reach of harm. 
 
 3 Weak as you are, you shall not faint, 
 
 Or, fainting, shall not die ; 
 Jesus, the strength of every saint, 
 Will aid you from on high. 
 
 4 Though sometimes unperceived by sense, 
 
 Faith sees him alwavs near ; 
 A guide, a glory, a defence ; 
 Then what have you to fear ? 
 
 5 As surely as He overcame, 
 
 And triumphed once for you ; 
 So surely you that love his "name 
 Shall triumph in him too. newton.

 One stream— the widest and the best- 
 Salvation ! lo, the purple flood 
 
 Rolls rich with my Redeemer's blood !

 I bathe— no waters cleanse me so : 
 
 Such joy and puritv to share, 
 
 I would remain enraptured there—

 The fulness sought in vain below;— 
 The fulness of that boundless sea 
 Whence flowed the river down to me.

 Bids mortal joys a glad adieu ; 
 Nor dreads a few chastising woes, 
 Sent with such love— so soon to close.

 When he ascended hence, 
 Up from the grave to God's right hand, 
 A Saviour and a Prince. 
 
 4 His glory now. no tongue of man 
 
 Or seraph bright can tell : 
 Yet still the chief of all his joys, 
 That souls are saved from hell.

 For this his life was given ; 
 For this he fought and vanquished death ; 
 For this he pleads in heaven.

 3 Be peace implored by each on thee, 
 O Zion, while with bended knee 
 
 To Jacob's God we pray : 
 How blest who calls himself thy friend! 
 Success his labours shall attend 
 
 And safety guard his way. 
 
 4 O may'st thou, free from hostile fear, 
 Nor the loud voice of tumult hear, 
 
 Nor war's wild wastes deplore : 
 May plenty nigh thee take her stand, 
 
 Seat of my friends and brethren, hait ! 
 How can my tongue, O Zion, fail 
 
 To bless thy loved abode ? 
 How cease the zeal that in me glows 
 Thy good to seek, whose walls enclose 
 
 The mansions of my God?

 The wonders of this day 
 
 Our noblest songs demand : 
 Auspicious morn ! thy blissful rays 
 Bright seraphs hail in songs of praise. 
 
 2 At thy approaching dawn, 
 Reluctant death resigned 
 The glorious Prince of life, 
 In dark domains confined ; 
 
 The angelic host around him bends, 
 And midst their shouts the God ascends. 
 
 3 All hail, triumphant Lord ! 
 Heaven with hosannas rings ; 
 While earth in humbler strains, 
 Thy praise responsive sings : 
 
 Worthy art thou, who once wast slain, 
 Through endless years to live and reign. 
 
 4 Gird on, great God, thy sword, 
 Ascend thy conquering car, 
 While justice, truth, and love, 
 Maintain the glorious war; 
 
 Victorious, thou thy foes shalt tread, 
 And sin and hell in'triumph lead. 
 
 5 Make bare thy potent arm, 
 And wing the unerring dart, 
 With salutary pangs 
 
 To each rebellious heart : 
 Then dying souls lor life shall sue, 
 Numerous as drops of morning dew.

 SWEET was the time when first I felt 
 The Saviour's pardoning blood 
 
 And. when the evening shades prevailed, 
 His love was all my song. 
 
 3 In vain the tempter spread his wiles, 
 
 The world no more could charm ; 
 I lived upon my Saviour's smiles 
 And leaned upon his arm. 
 
 4 In prayer my soul drew near the Lord, 
 
 And saw his glory shine; 
 And, when I read his holy word, 
 I called each promise mine. 
 
 5 Then to his saints I often spoke 
 
 Of what his love hath done ; 
 But now my heart is almost broke, 
 For all my joys are gone. 
 
 G Now, when the evening shade prevails, 
 My sou! in darkness mourns; 
 And, when the morn the light reveals, 
 No light to me returns. 
 
 7 My prayers are now a chattering noise, 
 
 For Jesus hides his face : 
 I read ; the promise meets my eyes, 
 But will not reach my case. 
 
 8 Now Satan threatens to prevail, 
 
 And make mv soul his prey ; 
 Yet, Lord, thy mercies cannot fail; 
 O come without delay.

 Jl How kind the promises he makes ! 
 A bruised reed he never breaks, 
 
 Nor will he quench the smoking flax. 
 
 2 When piety in early minds, 
 Like tender buds begins to shoot, 
 
 He guards the plants from threatening 
 And ripens blossoms into fruit, [winds, 
 
 3 With humble souls he bears a part 
 In all the sorrows they endure ; 
 Tender and gracious is Ins heart, 
 His promise is for ever sure. 
 
 4 He sees the struggles that prevail 
 Between the powers of grace and sin ; 
 He kindly listens while they tell 
 
 The bitter pamrs they feel within. 
 
 5 Though pressed with fears on every side. 
 They know not bow the strife may end ; 
 Yet he will soon the cause decide, 
 
 And judgment unto victory send.

 Acts i. 1. 1 Cor. xv. 51—54. [201] 
 
 1 pOME, saints, and shout the Saviour's 
 V7 praise, 
 
 To him your grateful tribute bring ; 
 Let angels hear the notes you raise, 
 And strike their golden harps, and sing. 
 
 2 Sing, how he left the heavenly throne, 
 And laid his splendid robes aside, 
 Put all our mortal weakness on, 
 
 And groaned and laboured, wept and died. 
 
 3 Now lift your songs to nobler strains, 
 High let your ardent passions soar : 
 See where the great Redeemer reigns, 
 And all the hosts of heaven adore. 
 
 4 Again he comes— a mighty cloud 
 Bears him in sacred triumph down ; 
 The trumpet sounds, it summons loud, 
 And angels shout his high renown. 
 
 5 From realms of death, beneath the ground, 
 The saints, in countless millions, rise ; 
 While seraphs stand admiring round, 
 And view the change with vast surprise. 
 
 6 Hail, mighty Prince ! thy kingdom now, 
 Thy bliss arid triumph are complete ; 
 To thee the ransomed myriads bow, 
 And lay their glories at thy feet.

 1 STUPENDOUS grace! and can it be 
 *J Designed for rebels such as we ! 
 
 O let our ardent praises rise 
 
 High as our hopes beyond the skies ! 
 
 2 This flesh, by righteous vengeance slain, 
 Might ever in the dust remain ; 
 
 These guilty spirits sent to dwell 
 'Midst all the flames and fiends of hell. 
 
 3 But lo ! incarnate love descends ; 
 Down to the sepulchre it bends ; 
 Rising, it tears the bars away. 
 And springs to its own native day. 
 
 4 Then was our sepulchre unbarred ; 
 Then was our path to glorv cleared ; 
 Then if that Saviour be our own, 
 Did we ascend a heavenly throne. 
 
 5 A moment shall our jov complete, 
 And fix us in that shining seat, 
 Bought by the pangs our Lord endured, 
 And by unchanging truth secured.

 Serve their Maker day and night ; 
 God resides among his own, 
 
 God doth in his saints delight. 
 
 3 More than conquerors at the last, 
 Here thev find their trials o'er ; 
 Thev have all their sufferings past, 
 Hunger now, and thirst, no more : 
 No excessive heat they feel 
 From the sun's directer ray ; 
 
 In a milder clime they dwell, 
 Region of eternal day. 
 
 4 Them the Lamb shall always feed, 
 He that on the throne doth reign, 
 To the living fountains lead, 
 With the tree of life sustain ; 
 
 He shall all their sorrows chase, 
 All their wants at once remove, 
 Wipe the tears from everv face, 
 Fill up everj* soul with love.

 1 Cor. ii. 9. 1 Peter i. S. 
 
 At God's right hand where Jesus 
 
 reigns, 
 
 Since the sweet earnest of his love 
 O'erwhelms us on these dreary plains ! 
 No heart can think, no tongue" explain, 
 W T hat bliss it is with Christ to reign. 
 
 2 When sin no more obstructs our sight, 
 When sorrow pains our heart no more, 
 How shall we view the Prince of Light, 
 And all his works of grace explore ! 
 What heights and depths of love divine 
 Will there through endless ages shine ! 
 
 3 Well, he has fixed the happv dav 
 When the last tears will wet our eves, 
 And God shall wipe those tears away, 
 And fill us with divine surprise 
 
 To hear his voice, and see his face, 
 And feel his infinite embrace ! 
 
 4 This is the heaven I long to know ; 
 For this, with patience, I would wait, 
 Till, weaned from earth, and all below, 
 I mount to my celestial seat, 
 
 And wave my palm, and wear my crown, 
 And, with the elders, cast them down.

 Whom, not having seen, I adore; 
 Whose name is exalted above 
 
 All glory, dominion, and power. 
 
 3 Break off, then, these bonds, that detain 
 My soul from her portion in thee ; 
 
 strike oft' this adamant chain, 
 And make me eternally free. 
 
 4 When that happy era begins, 
 When arrayed in thy glories I shine, 
 Nor grieve any more, by my sins, 
 The bosom on which I recline, — 
 
 5 Oh ! then shall the veil be removed, 
 And round me thy brightness be poured 
 
 1 shall meet him whom absent I loved, 
 I shall see whom unseen I adored. 
 
 6 And then never more shall the fears, 
 And trials, temptations, and woes, 
 Which darken this valley of tears, 
 Intrude on my blissful repose.

 '• The Psalmist. — Under this title a work has just been published, which, as 
 an aid to public and to family worship, is the most complete of the kind that has 
 fallen under our observation. Mr. Novello's studies have been too much occupied 
 with the devotional music of all ages for him not to be aware what great resources 
 lie within the range of simplicity of construction, and we are persuaded, there- 
 fore, that this work will detract nothing from his well-earned reputation. Its pub- 
 lication is particularly opportune at a time when class-singing is so widely spread, 
 and either this or some similar work may hence become in time as regular a com- 
 panion to the attendance in divine service as the Prayer-book or Bible. Includ- 
 ing the Fourth Part now added, the Psalmitt consists altogether of 400 tunes : so 
 that, however great the diversity of hymn-books used in churches, scarcely any of 
 them would fail to be found in this work." — Times. 
 
 " The Psalmist. — This is by far the most complete collection of psalmody we 
 have tver met with. It contains four hundred psalm and hymn tunes of every 
 Tariety of species used in oar places of worship ; the old Lutheran and Geneva 
 tunes brought into England and Scotland after the Reformation ; with the succes- 
 sive contributions made to metrical psalmody by the greatest English ecclesiastical 
 composers from the days of Purcell to the present time. The Selection exhibits 
 much research and sound judgment, intermixing the grave old strains which have 
 been established amongst us since the 10th century, with the more florid rhyth- 
 mical melodies which began to be introduced among the Dissenters by John 
 Wesley, and have been adopted to a considerable extent in the Established Church. 
 The task of taking care that the tunes are clothed in good harmony has been 
 • • Mr. Novello ; many of them have been newly harmoniied by himself; 
 and the whole work in this respect has been very satisfactorily executed. This 
 work is calculated to be mo-- of that description 
 
 of music which is used by the members of the Established Church in common 
 with every other denomination of Protestants ; and, now complete, it is the most 
 ample as well as the cheapest collection of Metrical Psalmody extant."— Mornino 
 Chroviclk. 
 
 "With the first three numbers of this admirably executed work ■

 know of no system of psalmody so capable of assisting the devotion of the wor- 
 With the last number we are necessarily not yet so familiar; but from

 merits, force its adoption into most of the churches and chapels of the metropolis." 
 —St. James's Chronicle. 
 
 " No Musical Library will be complete -without this valuable work ; it is 
 arranged with great taste, and is alike suitable for public and private worship." — 
 Church and State Gazette. 
 
 " This work, now completed by the publication of the fourth part, was 
 undertaken some few years since, at a period when that important part of public 
 worship— Congregational Singing— had, from a variety of causes, reached probably 
 its lowest point of degradation. The objects of the projectors of the Psalmist, 
 were, in the words of their preface, ' to rescue this heavenly part of public worship 
 from a state so unsuited to its legitimate character and object ; to recall and induce 
 a relish for the chaste and dignified style of our ancient psalmody ; to invest that 
 psalmody with such additional attractions as are derivable from modern harmony 
 without injuring its essential qualities ; and to introduce to more general notice 
 the works of modern composers of established reputation who have adopted that 
 style as their mode ;' and the means resorted to in carrying their plan into execu- 
 tion have been as judicious and effective, as the objects they proposed to them- 
 selves were praiseworthy. We cordially mention the Psalmist as at once the 
 most complete, correct, and the cheapest collection of psalm and hymn tunes 
 which has ever fallen under our notice." — Herts Reformer. 
 
 " The attempt, which is now making on an extensive scale, to render the 
 science of music a source of popular recreation, has produced a corresponding 
 desire to render it subservient to the service of devotion. The improvement of 
 Congregational Singing has long been desired. Its degraded and slovenly per- 
 formance in some, and vitiated, theatrical, and deplorably irreverent execution 
 in other places of religious worship naturally excited a general wish to rescue 
 this important part of public worship from the prostrated state, or perverted 
 mode of celebration, into which it had fallen. We confidently predict for this truly 
 excellent publication that it will obtain an introduction to the orchestras and 
 singers'-seats of every church and chapel in the kingdom, the congregations of 
 which desire that their singing should be at once harmonious and devotional, 
 suited to the service of which it is a part, and auxiliary to the production of those 
 emotions of grateful joy which its performance, when properly conducted, is capable 
 of exciting."— Globe. 
 
 " A year or two ago, the expectation that Congregational Singing could ever 
 be brought to approximate to the standard which has been aimed at in this Work 
 would have been deemed chimerical ; but the extension of Mr. Hullah's admirable 
 system of tuition, the multiplication of musical classes, and the consequent diffu- 
 sion of musical taste, will bring these elegant and sometimes delicate harmonies 
 within the reach of popular performance, where any corresponding effort is made to 
 render this neglected part of public worship truly delightful. The most prominent 
 feature of ' the Psalmist' is the tasteful and scientific construction of the har- 
 monies, the tunes already in use being newly arranged for four voices. In nume- 
 rous instances, a new character is given to a familiar psalm-tune by the harmony ; 
 and it may require some time to be reconciled to the altered cast of an old 
 favourite." — Patriot. 
 
 " We notice the elegant work now before us for the purpose of strongly recom- 
 mending it to all, and especially as pre-eminently calculated to effect a great 
 improvement in the conduct of public worship. It is not a little to the credit of 
 this publication that it entirely discards those vicious and unmeaning compositions, 
 the intrusion of which into general use can only be accounted for by the fact 
 that this department of music has long been in the hands of those who are alike 
 disqualified by their ignorance and bad taste for the task they have undertaken." — 
 Evangelical Magazine. 
 
 " By those who are observant of curious and pleasing coincidences, it will be 
 regarded as not a little remarkable that just upon the heels of the publication of 
 former portions of this work should follow a novel system of musical education, 
 calculated in all respects to enhance its value. Within the several parts of the 
 ' Psalmist' there exists a mine of the richest ore — and Mr. Hullah is teaching 
 our congregations to work it to advantage. But for Novello, the materials for 
 sacred singing, scattered over a wide surface, and alloyed with a superabundance 
 of rubbish, would, with few exceptions, have offered no inducement to the cultiva-

 '• We refer our readers to the very able preface of the Psalmist for a summary 
 red history of music, with a copious citation of authorities ft 
 ■ appeal, to justify its religious use, if that can be thought I 
 It also contains a succinct account of the rise and progress of psalmody. The 
 scheme of the work is perspicuously declared, and reflects the 
 those who devised it. The principle! which have guided theCompi: 
 choice of tunes are plain, and will approv. . .-ry one who allows 
 
 himself the pleasure of reading their prefcicc. The result is a collection unrivalled 
 in the number of unexceptionable tunes it contains, and in the beauty of their 
 arrangements, in which the harmonies are rich and full, without being abstruse or 
 intricate. 
 
 "The list of those who have contributed to this work, includes the most clas- 
 sical composers of all ages. Nor i9 there a name of eminence in tl 
 musical world that is not creditably represented by one or more tunes, some of 
 surpassing beauty. Among so much excellence it would be difficult as well as 
 invidious to particularize. The work, altogether, is a splendid, and, in many cases, 
 a voluntary offering from the highest genius to the service of religion — rich beyond 
 any precedent in faultless beauty of melody, and the most finished n - 
 harmony— a volume full of the loftiest style of music— that of the passions." — 
 Eclectic Review. 
 
 " In short the Psalmist is entitled to be viewed in the light of the standard 
 collection of English Metrical Psalmody, and ought to be used in every religious 
 assembly, public or private, which contains singers capable of executing the rich 
 and beautiful harmonies with due precision and effect" — Mainzer's .Mrs. Times. 
 
 " Mr. Novello's compilation, we may say in one word, is characterized by its 
 truly classical arrangement, and is calculated, by establishing a good musical 
 taste, to make singing in public congregations what it should be." — Watchman. 
 
 " It affords us pleasure to learn that the popularity of the Psalmist increases, 
 and that it is expelling from many of our congregations those boisterous and 
 unscientific compositions, which persons of musical taste who had not been 
 habituated to them from childhood, could not fail to hear with astonishment, if 
 during the performance they happened to pass near a dissenting place of worship. 
 These four volumes, which are in every respect uniform, though independent of 
 each other, will doubtless facilitate the use of the work, as they are cheap, hand- 
 some, and portable. To those who have occasionally to set tunes at social 
 meetings, the volume containing the Air. being so easily carried in the pocket, 
 will be a great acquisition. The aspect of the pages is very.pleasing, as they afford 
 fine specimens of the comparatively novel art of printing music with metal 
 — Baptist Magazine. 
 
 " Having long ago recorded our opinion of the excellence of ' The I 
 a Collection of Psalm and Hymn Tunes suited to all the vai 
 Psalmody, edited by Mr. Vincent Novello,' we are happy to announce that it is 
 I in Four Separate Vocal Parts.the Treble, Alto, Tenor, and Bass, each 
 containing the Four Hundred pieces, but in so compact a form, that it may be 
 conveniently carried in the pocket, while the musical typography is remarkably 
 distinct and very beautifully executed." — Cojvqrsg: \th>v w. M u
