RECOMMENDATIONS. 
 
 . THE want of a more copious selection of Hymns on 
 Missionary subjects, has beat long felt. fVe have examin- 
 ed the present Selection, and think it made viith consider- 
 able judgment. We therefore beg leave to recommend it, 
 as, in our opinion, well adapted for general use.

 WE have carefully examined the Selection of Hymns, on 
 the subject of Missions, now presented to the use of the 
 Christian Community; and are of opinion, that it will not 
 only supply a vacancy which has hitherto been experienced 
 in Missionary meetings , but will greatly contribute to 
 promote a spirit of holy zeal, and devotion. We think the 
 method of arrangement judicious, and the selection impar- 
 tial ; and are happy in having an opportunity of recom- 
 mending it to the public.

PREFACE. 
 
 THAT a selection of Hymns, exclusively on 
 Missionary subjects, has long been necessary, 
 will doubtless be admitted by all ; the few to be 
 found in our general Hymn Books having become 
 tedious from their frequent use. The Compiler of 
 the volume now presented to the public, was so- 
 licited by his much esteemed brethren in the mi- 
 inistr)', of two denominations, residing in Calcutta, 
 to supply the desideratum. The task was a pleas- 
 ing one, and the Missionary Hymn Book is a 
 memorial of that Christian friendship, which 
 has so long existed amongst brethren of different 
 religious sentiments, but engaged in the same 
 hallowed work in the land of the heathen. 
 
 I A very liberal use has been made of all the 
 Hymn Books, Periodical Publications, &c. both cf 
 [Europe and America, within the reach of the 
 Compiler, who, in certain instances, has ventured 
 to make some slight alterations, principally to 
 
VI 
 
 rREFACB. 
 
 reduce the lines to a known established metre, 
 or to render a good hymn more decidedly adapt- 
 ed for use on Missionary occasions. 
 
 It is acknowledged, that several of the Hymns i 
 in the following compilation, prefer no particu- n 
 lar claim to poetic excellency ; but the senti- * 
 ments they breathe will plead their excuse with ; n 
 the intelligent pious, while their very plainness ^ 
 will perhaps be their recommendation to many, j 
 The names of Watts and Doddridge, those sweet ' 
 singers of Israel, are the principal ornaments of 
 the selection. 
 
 It was a prominent design of the Compiler to 
 render his labours acceptable to Christians of all 
 denominations: — he has therefore made use of all 
 their Hymn Books which he could obtain, with- 
 out referring to any of their distinguishing te- 
 nets. Should he, in this, have secured their appro- 
 bation, and should this volume be the means of 
 elevating their devotion in a cause the most sub- 
 lime and glorious, the little trouble it has cost 
 him will be amply rewarded.

 A Hymn, composed in the year 1788 by a Hindoo; translated by 
 Mr. I homas, and imitated in veise, for the use of English 
 Christians. 
 
 1. WHO besides can man recover, 
 
 O who else restore to light ? 
 
 Who but Christ, that heavenly Lover, 
 
 Save from everlasting night > 
 
 Who besides him. 
 
 Save from sin’s eternal night ? 
 
 2. Lo ! that Lord the Son of God is ; 
 
 Through him saving blessings flow ; 
 
 And the sinner that adores him. 
 
 Will get o’er eternal woe ; 
 
 Who besides him, 
 
 Can redeem from endless woe ?

 3. In this world with sin defiled. 
 
 There is none exempt from blame j 
 He who saves the world excepted — 
 Jesus is the Saviour’s name. 
 
 Jesus, Jesus, 
 
 Is the mighty Saviour’s name. 
 
 4 . That dear Lord from heaven descended. 
 
 Rebels to redeem like me : 
 
 Whosoe’er has faith t’adore him 
 That’s the man that can get free. 
 
 Who but Jesus, 
 
 Can set captive sinners free. 
 
 5. Him, an holy incarnation, 
 
 With, and without form, we own 
 As the universal sovereign, — 
 
 As the way to lieaven alone. 
 
 Jesus, Jesus, 
 
 Is the way to heaven alone. 
 
 6. Hear, O sons of men, his saying. 
 
 For his words are very true ; 
 
 “ Come to me, whoso is thirsty ; 
 
 “ Livins streams I’ll give to you.” 
 Who besides him, 
 
 Li%ing streams can give to you ? 
 
 7. Having found the friend substantial. 
 
 Therefore, O my soul, adore ; 
 
 Saviou.s ! — there are none besides him. 
 Vain ’twill be to seek for more. 
 
 None but Jesus 
 Can a ruin’d soul restore.

 iateii by Mr Fountain into Engli.^b. 
 
 1. IN serving vain idols why thus spend my days, 
 Since nought but destruction attends all my tvays ? 
 The Lord of the world did descend from on high — 
 A^'as born in our nature all sin to destroy. 
 
 2. Till now my whole soul full of darkness has been, 
 And like other people, I’ve gone on in sin : 
 
 ith them I was drowning in misery’s deep ; 
 
 On earth I discovered no way of escape. 
 
 3. Seeb, Doorga, and Kalee, could give me no aid ; 
 No Debta nor Debee, no off rings I made. 
 
 No Brahman, no Yogee, no deed done by me. 
 
 Nor all these united can set my soul free. 
 
 4. These all are quite useless, I’ve found them all vain. 
 But from the Lord Jesus some hope I obtain ; 
 These heav’ns and this earth are the work of his 
 
 hands ; — 
 
 He animates all things ; all superintends. 
 
 My sin and my holiness now are my shame: — 
 
 My passions, my wishes, my honour, my name ; 
 
 I now lay all down at ( lirist Jesus’ feet. 
 
 And trust, though a sinner, I mercy shall get. 
 
 6 Ho ! all sinful people, this good news attend. 
 Salvation and righteousness now apprehend ! 
 
 This, this is the order he now gives to \ou. 
 
 And then after death you to glory shall go.

 1. THE feeble vessel of my soul 
 
 On li e’s deceitful shallows struck ; 
 
 The foaming billows o’er it roll. 
 
 The sails are split, the masts are broke : 
 
 Yet why, my soul, this anxious fear? 
 
 Say, why thus sinking in despair? 
 
 2. If thou indeed wouldst cut the sand, 
 
 And heaven-ward urge thy future course. 
 Then hear ! there’s help divine at hand, 
 
 The shipwrecked sinner’s last resource ; 
 
 Then why, my soul, this anxious fear ? 
 
 Say, why thus sinking in despair ? 
 
 3. In faith on Jesus loudly call; 
 
 This instrument thy bark shall move;* 
 
 Thus let thy vessel floating fall. 
 
 And swim in boundless seas of love ! 
 
 Then why, my soul, this anxious fear ? 
 
 Say, why thus sinking in despair ?

 Nor ardent warriors meet with hateful eyes.

 Exalt thy towei*y head, and lift thy eyes !
