PREFACE. 
 
 The Choir and Family Psalter is here reduced to a size con- 
 venient for the pocket. The division of the words being, of 
 course, the same, when that work is used by the organist and 
 choir of a church, this may be used by the people. The 
 single and double marks in each verse correspond to the single 
 and double bars of a chant. When a hyphen follows a word 
 or syllable, it signifies that that word or syllable is to be con- 
 tinued through another note. Thus : I mil call upon Him 
 as | long - \ as I live, — here the word long is to be sung to 
 the 2nd and 3rd note of the first part of a chant. Again : 
 Forever \ praise- \ -the Lord. Here the word praise is to be 
 sung to the 3d and 4th notes of the second part of a chant 
 Further explanations are not given, seeing they would be 
 superfluous for those who understand chanting, and not intel- 
 ligible to those who do not. For the same reason, no direc- 
 tions are here laid down for the proper execution of this kind 
 of music. Chanting can be learned only from the oral 
 teacher. 
 
 In regard to the pointing, the subscriber repeats what is 
 said in the preface to the Choir and Family Psalter — " It was 
 intended at first to be a copy of his figured Psalter, published 
 some three years since. But in correcting the faulty readings 
 of that book, he found himself gradually departing from the 
 syllabic, and falling into the accentuated, particularly in con- 
 cluding words of three syllables ; hence the latter method pre- 
 vails throughout the present Psalter. Although it is liable to 
 some objections, it is more spirited, occupies less time in the 
 performance, is more in accordance with correct reading, and 
 is therefore likely to be generally adopted." 
 
 In the pointing, ease of execution in the singing has been 
 
. V PREFACE. 
 
 chiefly studied, though this has sometimes yielded to correct 
 accentuation. Between the claim of accent on the one hand, 
 and of an easy flow of sound on the other, the preference, it 
 will be found, has in some instances been given to the one, 
 and in others to the other ; not, indeed, altogether arbitrarily, 
 yet for reasons which, it cannot be hoped, will always appear. 
 On the whole, it is believed that a pointed Psalter is here pre- 
 sented to the Church which will do something towards uni- 
 formity in our chanting, as far as the division of the words is 
 concerned. Such uniformity ought, if possible, to be attained. 
 A worshipper coming into a church, anywhere, should be able 
 to unite as readily in this part of the service, as in the metre 
 psalms and hymns. But at present, there is so great a variety 
 of readings, that one can scarce join in a canticle, except in 
 the particular congregation to which he belongs. Sameness 
 in the music, indeed, is equally desirable. It would be very 
 beautiful if throughout our borders each psalm were invariably 
 associated with a certain melody, so that one would not fail to 
 suggest the other. Bat it may be long before that is accom- 
 plished. In the meanwhile, a great deal will be gained if we 
 come to some agreement in the disposition of the words. 
 When that is everywhere the same, the worshipper, wherever 
 he be, will find no difficulty in bearing his part of the chants, 
 the melody of which is, or ought to be, so simple as to be 
 easily followed as soon as heard. 
 
 The present book will be found useful, not only where the 
 whole Psalter is chanted, but when there is a desire to substi- 
 tute for a metre psalm, one of the psalms in prose. A much 
 larger portion than the usual three or four verses in metre, 
 could thus be sung, and a congregation would be thereby 
 accustomed to chanting, and would grow fond of it. Clergy 
 men who would encourage this kind of music among their 
 people, might do it by occasionally giving out from the Psalter, 
 instead of the metrical selections. They would find the con- 
 gregation following the choir, or leader, as readily as in the 
 ordinary psalm and hymn tunes. 
 
PREFACE. V 
 
 Further, a boc k like this is a help to congregational reading, 
 as well as chanting. We need one as much as the other ; for 
 nothing can he more undevotional than the careless manner in 
 which the alternate verses of the Psalter are generally uttered 
 by the people, — some speaking scarcely above their breath, 
 others hurrying over the words and finishing a verse before 
 their neighbors have got through half of it, and none having 
 any idea that there should be a concert of utterance among 
 them. How much more like united worship would it be, if all 
 kept the same time in reading together. In order to this, 
 there must be a simultaneous pause about the middle of the 
 verse, the place for which in the Psalter of the English 
 Prayer Book is indicated by the colon. In our American 
 Book, that pause has been omitted, probably from its some- 
 times interrupting the sense. It is an old musical stop, (for 
 the most part coinciding with grammatical punctuation,) to 
 show where the first half of the chant ends, and in the present 
 Psalter is restored in the double bar.* By observing this as a 
 slight rest for the voice, a congregation will find it easy to 
 keep company in their reading, and so glorify God with one 
 mouth, as well as with one heart and mind. 
 
 To the Psalter are appended a number of Scripture passages, 
 also pointed for chanting, and which of course may be sung as 
 easily as any of the psalms. This is only a small portion of 
 the treasures of Holy Writ with which our worship might be 
 enriched, and varied according to the different periods of the 
 Ecclesiastical year. There is both precedent and authority for 
 such a use of the sacred text other than the psalms. Prece- 
 dent : in the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis of the English 
 Prayer Book, and in the Benedictus of our own ; and what is 
 more analogous in its character to most of the passages in the 
 Appendix, the anthem for Easter Day, taken from St. Paul's 
 
 * Tins, except in some three or four cases in the "Selections of Psalms," 
 ■will always be found in the same place in the verse, at which the colon in 
 the Er.£rli:-h Tsalter occurs. Had the liberty been taken to alter its position, 
 the readings in many places might have been improved.-

 Epistles. Authority : in the express allowance of tlie House 
 of Bishops. 
 
 The selection of chants at the end consists of such as, from 
 their simplicity, are best adapted to the common voice and 
 ear. For antiphonal singing, single chants are to be pre- 
 ferred. When double ones are thus used, they should be those 
 in which the second part is somewhat of answer to the first. 
 Let a congregation be familiar with only the few here pre- 
 sented, and they will be always ready to take their part, in 
 what are eminently the " Songs of Zion." For further obser- 
 vations on congregational chanting, the reader is referred to 
 the Choir and Family Psalter.

 NOTICE. 
 
 This edition of " The People's Psalter" has been carefully re- 
 vised and corrected. The Divisions of the Canticles and Selec- 
 tions have, in many places, been rendered much smoother, and 
 those Psalms which occur both in the Selections and Psalter, 
 have been carefully compared and pointed alike. 
 
 The Harmonies of the Chants, at the end of the work, have 
 been revised by Mr. James A. Johnson, chorister of the church 
 of the Holy Communion. A number of Chants have also been 
 selected and added, and no pains have been spared to make 
 the present edition perfect.

N.B. — The authority for the use of these anthems (wrucfi 
 restores to us a privilege of the English Church) is found in 
 the following extract from the Journal of the House of 
 Bishops in General Convention, 1S1 i : 
 
 " There was laid before the House an address from the 
 Rev. Wm. Smith, of Connecticut, together with surdry 
 Anthems, selected from Holy Scripture, and adapted to cer- 
 tain Festivals and Fasts of the Church. The object of the 
 address is to induce the establishment of the said Anthems 
 as pari ol' the Liturgy : Whereupon — Resolved, That it is 
 not expedient, during the present Convention, to go into a 
 review, either in whole or in part, of the Book of Commou 
 Prayer. It could rot. however, but give satisfaction to the 
 Bishops to recollect that Antnems taken from Scripture, and 
 judiciously arranged, may, according to the known usage of 
 this Church, be sung in congregations at the discretion <*i 
 their respective ministers."

 BELOVED, let us | love one a | nother II for 
 love is of (rod ; and every one that loveth, is 
 born of | God, and | knoweth | G-od. 
 
 He that loveth not, | knoweth not | God II for | 
 God - | is - | love. 
 
 In this was manifested the love of | Grod toward | 
 us, II because that G-od sent his only begotten 
 Son into the world, that | we might | live 
 through | him. 
 
 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but 
 that | he loved | us II and sent his Son to be the 
 propiti | ation | for our | sins. 
 
 Beloved, if God so | loved | us U we ought also 
 to I love - one a I nother.

 that loveth him that begat, loveth him also that I 
 is be | gotten | of him. 
 
 By this we know that we love the | children 
 of | God || when we love God, and | keep - | his 
 com | mandments. 
 
 For this is the love of God, that we | keep his 
 com | mandments || and his com | mandments | are 
 not | grievous. 
 
 For whatsoever is born of God, over | cometh 
 the | world || and this is the victory that over- 
 cometh the | world, - | even our | faith. 
 
 Who is he that over | cometh the | world || but 
 he that believeth that Jesus | is the | Son of | 
 God? 
 
 This is he that came by water and blood, 
 even | Jesus I Christ || not by water only, but by | 
 water | and - | blood. 
 
 And it is the Spirit that | beareth | witness || 
 be | cause the | Spirit is | truth. 
 
 For there are three that bear record in heaven, 
 the Father, the Word, and the | Holy | Ghost j; 
 and | these - | three are | one.

In the following Music, which, it will be observed, 
 t _ais across the opposite pages, the four vocal parts are 
 written on two staves, in their usual order. Of the 
 Gregorian Chants, on the first two pages, only the 
 melody is given, as they are designed to be sung by 
 a congregation in unison, the organ filling up the har- 
 mony. 
 
 In Nos. 1, 5, and 7 of these Gregorian Chants, the 
 double notes signify that the melody may be finished 
 with either the upper or lower notes. If taken alter- 
 nately, they make double chants, suitable for antipho- 
 nal singing.
