The following selection of Hymns has been niade, at much expense and care, expressly for the Methodist Episcopal Church. 'Hie com- piler, is well known to his brethren in this vi- cinity. He has made his selections from dif- ferent hj^mns published in this country, and in England, all of which have been aj)proved by the brethren, celebrated for their piety, and devotional feelings. These feelings which they may excite, and the flame of holy love which they may kindle in the Christian's breast must render tl;em of peculiar value to the followers of the divine Redeemer. It is also hoped, that, by the blessing of God, their ws« in Camp and prayer Meetings may have a powerful ten- dency to alarm the fearsof sinners— cause them to flee to Jesus, and prepare them to live in jhat world, "Where rising floods of knowledge roll, **And pour, and pour upon the Soul."

The Union. 1 "ffT'ROM wlieuce dotli this union arise, -i- That hatred is coiKjuer'd Ijy lore 1 It fastens our aouh in such ties, That nature aud time can't remove. 2 It cannot in Eden be found. Nor yet in a paradise lost ; It grows on Imniannel's ground, And Jesus' dear blood it did cost. ,S My friends are so dear unto nie, Our hearts all united in love ; Wliere Jesus is gone we shall be. In j-onJcr blest mafisions above. 4 O wily then so loth for to part. Since we shall e'er long meet again. Engrav'd on Lnnianuel's heart; At distance we cannot remain. 6 An'l when we shall see that bright day, United v>'ith aagrls above. No longer confin'd to our clay, O'erwhehn'd in the ocean of love. 6 Oh then with our Jcieus we'll reign. And at! lus bright glory shall eee, And sing Hallelujah, amen. Amen, even so let it be. % n HYMN 2. HTMIV 2. L. M. The believer's hiding place. ^ T-f ^^^' heavenly love tliat first began A i The scheme to rescue fallen man j Hail, matchless, free, eternal grace. That gave ray soul a hiding place. 2 Against the God who rules the sky, I fought with hands uplifted high; ' Despis'd the offers of his o^race Too proud to seek a hiding place. 3 Enwrap'd in dark, Egyptian night, And fond of darkness more than light : Madly I ran the sinful race, Secure without a hiding place. 4 But, lo ! the eternal counsel ran. Almighty love arrest the man. I felt the arrows of distress And found I had no hiding place, 6 Eternal justice stood in view. To Sinai's fiery mount I flew, But justice cried with frowning fac«, This mountain is no hiding place. 6 But, lo I a heavenly voice I heard. And mercy to my soul appear'd. She led me on a pleasing pace To Jesus Christ my hidincr place. 7 Should storms of seven fold thunder roll. And shake the globe from pole to pole. No thunder bolt would daunt ray face, For Jesus is my hiding place. 8 A few more rolliog suns, at most, WUl land me safe on Canaan's coMt, HYMN 3. 11 Where I siiall sing tlie song of grace, iSafe in uiy glorious hiding place. HYMN 3. P. M. The garden of ike Lord. 1 nnHE Lord into his garden comes ; X The spices yield a rich perfume, The lilies grow iiud thrive : Refreshing showers of grace divine. From Jesus flows to every vine, And makes his people one. 2 O that this dry and ban-en ground In springs of water may abound, A fruitful soil become! The deserts blossom as tlie rose. When Jesus conquers all his foes, And makes his people one. 3 The glorious time is rolling on, The gracious work is now begun, My soul a witness is ; I taste and see the pardon free, For all mankind as well as me. Who come to Christ may live. 4 The worst of sinners here may find A Saviour pitiful and kind, Who will thera all receive ! None are too vile who will repent : Out of one sinner legions went ; Jesus did him relieve. 5 Come, brethren, ye who love the Lord, And taste the sweetness of his word, In Jesus' ways go on ; Our troubles and our trials here, 12 KYMN 3. Will ccly make us richer there. When we arrive at home. ;6 We feel that heaven is now begim, It issues from the shining throne Of Jesus Christ on high ; It comes like floods, we can't contain, We drink, and drink, and drink agaiu, And yet for more we cry. 7 But wlien we come to reign above. And all surround a throne of love. We'll drink a full supply,- Jesus will lead his armies through, To living fountains where they flow, Which never will run dry. 8 Tliere we shall reign and shout and sing. And make the heavenly regions ring, When all the saints get hcrae ! Come on, come on, my brethren dear. Soon shall v.^e meet together there. For Jesus bids us come. 9 Amen, amen ! mj soul replies, I'm bound to meet j on in the skies, And claim my mansion there ; Now here's my heart, and here's my haad. To meet you in that heavenly land, Where we shall part no more. 10 There, on that peaceful, happy shore, We'll sing and shout our sufl''rings o'er. In sweet redeeming love : We'll shout and praise our conq'ring King, Who died himself that he might bring Us, rebels, home to God. HYMN ^ 13 HYMN 4. r. M. The jewels of the Lord. 1 ^'^E jewels cf my Master, •*• Who shine with heavenly rays, Amid the keanis of glory Reflect innTortal blaze, Ye diamonds of beauty, With pleasing lustre crovvn'd, Of heavenly extraction, To Zion's city bound. 2 Ye lambs of my Redeemer, The purchase of his blood, Who feed among the lilies. Beside the purple flood; Go on, ye happy pilgrims, Your journey still pursue. And at a humble distance, I'll sing and follow too. 3 When I beheld your order, And harmony of soul, And heard divinest numbers In pure devotion roll. And gems immortal glowing With such enliven'd grace, I view'd the Saviour's imago Impress'd on every face. 4 Speak often to each other, To cheer the fainting mind \ And often be your Toices In pure devotion join'd ; .14 HYMN 4. Though trials may await you. The crown before you lies; Take courage, brother pilgrims^ And soon you'll win the prize. 5 Ye shall be mine, says Jesus, In that auspicious day. When I make up my jewels. Released from cumb'rous clay; He'll polish and refine you From worthless dross and sin. And to his heavenly kingdom. Will bid you enter in. 6 On that important morning. When bursting thunders sound. And nimble lightnings waving. Shall wing the gloom profound : Lift up your heads rejoicing, And clap your joyful hands; Lo, you're redeera'd forever. From death's coriupted bands. 7 As Aaron on his girdle, In shining jewels drest. Bore all the tribes of Israel Inscribed upon his breast; So will the Priest of Zion, Before the Father's throne, Present the heirs of glory. And God the kindred own. 8 The golden bells will echo Around the sacred hill ; HYM?f 6. IS And sweet immortal antbemg The vocal regions fill ; In everlasting beauty, The shining millions stand. Safe on the rock of ages. Amid the promised laud. 9 We'll range the wide dominion Of our Redeemer round, And in dissolving rapture Be lost in love profound ; While all the flaming harpera Begin the lasting song, With hallelujahs rolling From the unnumber'd throng. HY3IN 5. P. M BRETHREN, while we sojourn here; Plight we must, but should not fear. Foes we have, but we've a Friend, One that loves us to the end ; Forward then with courage go, Long we shall not dwell below; Soon the joyful news will come, Child, your Father calls— Come homo. In the world a thousand snares Lay to take as unawares; Satan with malicious art. Watches each unguarded heart; But from Satan's malice free. Saints shall soon victorious be; 5oon the joyful news will come. Child, your Father calls — Ccbmj kotne. 16 riYji:\: c. 3 But of all the woes v.s meet, None so apt to turn our leet; None betray v.s into sin, Like the toes we have within; Yet let nothing spoil your peace, Christ will also conquer these; Then the joyful news will come. Child, your Father calls— Come home HYMN 6. P. M. 1 'in HE Son of m:ui tliey did betray; JL He was condemn'cl and led away^ Think^ O my goul on that dread daj-. Look c.Yi mount Calvaiy. Behold him lamblike led alopj, Suri'ounded by a M'icked throng, Acru?ed by each lying tong»c. And then the Lamb of God they hung L^pon the shameriil tree. 2 'Twas thus the gloilnus sufferer stood. With han Is and feet naii'd to the Wi;od; Frcan every wound a stream of blood Came ficvi'ing down amain; His bitter groans ail nature shook. The earth to its frm centre rock'd, The sleeping saints their graves forsook, "While ppiteful Jews around him mock'd. And laughed at his pain, o No'.v hung between the earth and skies. Behold ! in agonies he dies ; O, sinners, hear his Uicurnfu! cries, Come, see ?'is tort'ring pain; The morning sun withdrew his light, : Elush'd and rcfased to view the sight; HYMN 6. ir The azure cloth'd in robes of night, All nature mourn'd and stood affright, When Christ the Lord was slain. 4 Hark ! men and angels hear the Son, He cries for heJp, but O there's none. He treads the wine press all alone, His garments stain'd \vith blood. In lamentations hear him cry; " Eloi, lama sabacthani !" Thongli death may close his languid eyea. He soon will mount the upper skies. The conq'ring Son of God. 5 The Jews and Romans in a band. With hearts of steel around him stand. And mocking say, " Come save the land, Come, try thyself to fjee." A soldier pierc'd him when lie dy'd ; Thence healing streams came from his aide; And thus mv Lord was crucify'd. Stern justice now is satisiy cl. Sinners, for you and me ! 6 Behold ! he mounts the throne of state. He fills the mediatorial seat, While millions bowing at his feet, With loud hosannas tell : Though he endur'd exquisite pains, He led the monster death in chains ; Ve seraphs, raise your highest strains, W'ith music fill bright Eden's plains, He couquer'd death and hell. 7 'Tis done ! the dreadful debt is paid, The great atonement now is made : Sinners, in him your guilt was laidj, For you he spilt his blood. 2* IS HYMN 7. For you his tender soul did move, For you he left the court? »bovp, I'hat you the lcn:^th and breadth mi^^ht provej And heiglit ee Jesus, and dwell en his praises. And witli him in glory eternally shine. Hosanna, ^-c. 20 , HYMN 8. HYMN 8. L. M. 1 "VrOUNG people all, attention give, i While I address you in God's name,' Ye, who in sin and folly live, Come hear the counsels of a friend. 2 I've sought for bliss in glittering toys, And rang'd the .luring scenes of vice, But never kne^v substantia*! jovs, Until I heard my Saviour's Voice. 3 He spake at once my sins forgiven. And took my load of guilt away, He gave me glory, peace, and heaven/ And thus I found the heavenly way. 4 And now, with trembling sense I view Huge billows roll beneath your feet ; For death eternal waits for jou, Who slight the force of gospel truth. 6 Youth, like the spring, will soon be gone' By fleeting time, or conquering death, Y''our morning sun may set at noon. And leave you ever in ti^e dark. 6 Your sparkling eyes and blooming cheeks Must wither like the blasted rose; The cofSn, muffler, winding sheet, Will soon your active limbs enclose. 7 Ye heedless ones, that wildly stroll. The grave will soon become your bed, Where silence reigns and vapois roll In solemn darkness round your head. 3 Your friends will p^ass the lonesome place, And with a sigh move slow along. Still gazing on the spires of grass. With which your graves are overgrown., HYiMN d. n 9 Your souls Avill land in darker realms. Where vengeance reigns and billows roar, And roll amidst the burning flames. When thousand, thousand years are o'er. 10 Still sunk in shades of endless night, To groan and howl in ceaseless pain, And never more behold the light, And never, never ^ise again. 11 Y^e blooming youth, this is the state Of all who do free grace refuse ; And soon with you 'twill be too late. The way of life is Christ to choose. 12 Come, lay your carnal weapons by. No longer fight against your God, But with the gospel now comply, And heaven shall be your great reward. HYMN 0. P. M. 1 rSlHIS day our souls have caught new fire, -fl- Halle, HaUelujah. We feel that heaven is drawing nigher, Glory, Hallelujah. We long to quit this cumbrous clay, Halle, HaUelujah.

And leaves the field to Zion's sons ; One single saint will put to flight Ten thousand blustering sons of nights 3 Ye little Sampsons, np and fight, Put the Philistines' host to flight ; The troops of hell are marching round. Bat Zion's sons are gaining ground. 4 The hottest fire is now begun ; Come, stand the flame, till it is won ; Some souls are wounded, ethers fell : Our Lord is saving souls from hell. 5 Vfhcn Israel came to Jerico, Began to pray, to shout and b1ov\', The tow'ring Avails came tumbling dovvTl Like thunder, fiat upon the ground. 6 See Gideon marching out to fiijht. And with no weapons but his light ; Pe took his pitcher and his lamp, And storm'd with ease the 3Iidian camp. 7 The Mehrews, in the dreadful flame. Found Zion's King was still the same ; Young David's weapon was but dull. Yet broke Goliah's brazen skull. 8 Saint Paul and Silas, bound in jail. Would sing and pray in spite of hell ; They made the prison loudly ring. Although oppos'd by hell's dark king. 9 Behold, what giants gi-eat and tall, And Christ's poor lambs, but few and small; But Jesus, Jesus, is my friend. He'll help me fight unto the eiid. HYiMN 10. 23 10 Tlifi Devil soon will s^iont bis last, Our fighting tlien will all be past ; And we Khali lay ouv armour hj, And ging with angels through the pky. 11 Onr God who conquers death and sin. Will smile and say, " My son?, come in ; You've fought through many battles sore. But now you'll reign forever more. 12 " Come wear these crewns, and let your tongues Sing Gabriel's new eternal songs ; You now are free from death and riain;', Come, shout thro' S?dem's peaceful plains." 13 All glory, glory, to the Lamb, Througliout my soul I feel the flame, had I wings like Noah's dove, 1 soon would shout with those aljove.

My Saviour smiles and bids me come : 10 Sweet angels beckon me away, To sing God's praise in endless day. 11 I soon shall pass the vale of death. And in his arms I'll lose my breatli : 12 And then my happy soul shall tell My Jesus has done all things well. 13 I soon shall hear the awful sound.

M. i TESUS to every willing mind, ^ Opsns a heavenly treasure; In him the sons of sorrow find I SourcQs of real pleasure; 3 HYMN 12. See what errplojoient men pnrsu*, Then you will own idj words are true, Jesus alone unfolds to view Sources of real pleasure. Poor are the joys that fools esteem, Fading and transitory; Mirth is as fleeting as a dream, Or a delusive story; Luxury leaves a sting behind, V\^ounding the body and the mind, Only in Jesus can we find Pleasure and solid glory. Learning, that boasted, glittering thing Scarcely is worth possessing; Riches, forever on the wing, Scarce can be called a blessing; Fame, like a shadow flies away, Titles and dignities decay. Nought but religion can display Joys that are free from trouble. Beauty with all its gaudy show, Is but a painted bubble; Short are the triumphs wit bestow, Full of deceit and trouble; And sensual pleasures swell desire. Just as the fuel feeds the fire; Onlj religion can inspire, Bliss that is worth possessing. HYMN 13. 29 HYMX 13. P.

Hallelujah to the Lamb, Who hath purchased our pardon; We will praise him again. When we pass over Jordan. 2 That fountain so clear, In which all rnay find pardon. From Jesus's side, Flows in plenteous redemption; Though your sins were iiicreased As high as a mountain, His blood it flows freely; O come to this fountain, 3 Blest Jesus, ride on, Thy kingdom is glorious. O'er sin, death and hell, I Thou wilt ma!ie us victorious: Thy name shall be praised, In the great congregation, And saints shall delight la ascribing salvation. ,4 When on Zion we stand, I Ha\icg gain'd the blest shore; ao HYMN U.

To save me in the trying hour. 3 Though rocks and quicksands deep^ Through all my passage lie, Yet Christ will safely keep, And guide me with his eye ; My anchor, hope, shall firm abide, And ev'ry boist'rous storm outride. 4 By faith I see the land,' The port of endless rest ; My soul, thy sails expand, And fiy to Jesus' breast !

Look ahead ! see what torments you'll eoon founder in ; The hard rocks of death will soon beat out your keel, Then your vessel and cargo will all sink to hell. 3 Lay by your old compass, 'twill do you no good, It ne'er will direct you the right way to God ; 32 KYMN 15.

My anchor, hope can cast Within the promises. It holds my vessel fast; Safely she then at anchor rides, 'Midst stormy blasts and swelling tides. 4 If a dead calm ensues, And heaven no breezes give, The oar of prayer I use, And tug and toil and strive ; Through storms and calms for many a day» I make but very little way. 5 But when a heavenly breeze Springs up and fills my sail, flTMN £0. 5!y vessel goes with case Before the p'£a:?ant gale.

To supplicate his God. 2 Among the king's high princes, This Daniel was the first, The king preferr'd this Hebrew For wisdom he possess'd ; And now his high preferment Occasion 'd jealousy, The princes sought his ruin, Obtain'd a firm decree : 8 If any man or woman A supplication bring. For thirty days ensuing. Excepting to the king, To any lord or monarch. Or any other man. They should, Avithout distinction, Fall in the lions' den. «0 HYillN 36. 4 And new when David knew it. Into Ills house he went. To beg his God's protection Is now his whole intent; His windows being open, Before his God he bo\ii*d, The princes were assernbkd. And saw him worship God. 5 They came to king Darius, And spake of his decree, Saying, " This Hebrevv Daniel Doth nothing care for thee : Before his God he boweth Three tiujes in every day, With ail his windows open, And we have heard him pray.*' t Now when Darius knew it, liis soul did sore lament ; His heart was set on Daniel, The sentence to prevent : The princes then assembled, And to the king they said, " Hemember your great tionor, Likewise the law you made.'* 7 The king he then commanded, That Daniel should be brought, And ca^'t into the lions' den, Because iiis God besought ; The king then said to Daniel " The God whom you adore. Will save you from the lions' rage And bless you evermore." KYr.ix se. 61 ^8 The kin.^ went to his palace, And fasted all the night, He neither eat nor slept, No music could dolight ; Then early the next morning, lie starred on his way, And came unto the lions' den.

The God v^'honi thou dost worship And serve continually?" 10 '* My Lord hns sent hi? ai.gel And shut the lions' jaw. So that they have not hurt me. My innocence they saw." The king he then commanded To take him fron) the den, Because in God he tru:-ted, No har;n wls f»«nd in him, 11 See how this righteous Daniel Fear'd not the face of clay, Not all the king's commandments Could make him ce;;se to pray: He knew that God was with him. To save his soul f.om death, He trusted in Jehovah, And pray'd at every breath. «9 HYMN 36. 12 The king he then commanded Those wretches to be brought, Wlio had with so much boldness. The life of Daniel sought ; On women, men, and children. The sentence being past. Among the angrv lions, Those sinners ihey were cast, 13 The lions rush'd with vengeance Upon those wicked men. And tore them all in pieces, Ere to the ground they came. Thus God will save his children Who put their trust in hira, And punish their offenders With agonies extreme. 14 Now Daniel's God is gracious To all his children dear; He gives them consolation, And tells them not to fear ; He's prorais'd to protect them. And bring them safe to dwell Eternally in heaven, And dooms hig foes to hell. ,15 Hark ! sinners, hear the gospel. That says to you, repent.
