PREFACE Tin: General Association of Connecticut, constrained by a demand from many quarters for a more satisfactory book of praise, passed a resolution instructing and authorizing a com- mittee of five pastors — namely, W. T. Eustis, Jr., E. P. Parker, M. M. G. Dana, H. N. Dunning, and L. L. Paine — to prepare and publish, in their behalf, a new Hymn and Tune Book. Thus instructed and authorized, the Committee immediately set themselves to perform the work given into their hands, striving to fulfil both the letter and the spirit of the commission they had received, not in their own wisdom merely, but relying on the guidance of the Spirit of all wisdom and grace, and seeking, also, the suggestions and assistance of many of their brethren in the churches. This 4k Book of Praise " they now offer to the General Association of Connecticut, and to all the churches of Christ in the land, as the fruit of their long and arduous labors. In the selection of hymns from various sources, in the delicate work of deciding between different readings of well-known hymns, and in the adoption of a plan of arrangement, they have not proceeded without the most careful research and deliberation. The division of the book into several distinct sections, each of which is prefaced by a sum- mary statement of its contents, together with the index of sections which faces the first page of hymns, will, it is believed, greatly assist the readers in becoming speedily familiar with the entire book, and also in readily finding hymns suited to any given topic. Here and there a hymn may be found which seems to be arbitrarily located. While a few such instances wore unavoidable under the present plan of arrangement, they are quite unim- portant as compared with its many and decided advantages. In the selection of hymns, the chief aim has been to make the book, what its name imports, a Book of Praise. Hymns that throb with a warm spiritual life, — devotional rather than didactic, — that bear the soul upward toward God and Christ and heaven, "on devotion's lofty wing," and in which, as in the Psalms of David, the worshipping spirit delights to pour out and offer up the sacrifices of praise, have been chiefly sought. Watts and Charles Wesley are the principal contributors to this collection. While there are very few new hymns in this book (and these, for the most part, from the pen that wrote " My faith looks up to thee"), there are not a few of rare merit and beauty, which have never been published in any similar collection. With respect to the M alterations" of hymns, suffice it to say that the hymns in this book have been faithfully compared -with their original forms, so far as such comparisons were pos- sible: and the original readings hare been faithfully adhered to, except where hymns have been manifestly improved by alterations which usage has sanctioned. That this rule of criticism i> indefinite, and leave- the door still open to errors and abuses, the editors are well aware. If in the application of tin- rule their judgments have been sometimes in fault, it will be to them less a matter of wonder than of regret For some unusually sensible remarks upon this whole subject of hymn-mending, the reader is commended to a most delightful book by the Ilev. S. iv Preface. W. Christophers (London : S. W. Partridge. New York : A. D. F. Randolph), entitled, 44 Hymn-Writers and their Hymns." With regard to the musie of this collection, the editors have endeavored to select tunes which would render congregational singing practicable, profitable, and pleasant, — avoiding the extremes of commonplace music on the one hand, and of too difficult music on the other. To Dr. Ray Palmer, for permission to use many of his valuable hymns, and for his kindness in contributing several new and beautiful compositions for this work, thanks are most cordially rendered. Many of the tunes in this book are the property of American authors or publishers, and are herein used by their permission. Among those from whom, by special arrangement, valuable tunes and hymns have been obtained, may be named, Messrs. Barnes & Burr, Messrs. Mason Bros., Mr. John Wiley, Mr. S. T. Gordon, Dr. Thomas Hastings, Mr. Asa Hull, Mr. George Kingsley, Mr. George F. Root, and Oliver Ditson & Co. To those who have contributed either hymns or music to these pages, and to all who, in any way, have assisted in the preparation of this work, — and more particularly to Rev. T. J. Holmes, Mr. E. P. II. Thompson, and Dudley Buck, Jr., organist of the Park Church in Hart- ford, — the editors tender their grateful acknowledgments. The rest of the Committee would express their own obligation to the Rev. E. P. Parker for the indefatigable zeal and energy which he has exhibited in the preparation and publication of this " Book of Praise." To him the churches are chiefly indebted for the completeness of this new aid to devotion. The editors would present their completed task to the General Association of Connecticut, and to the churches of our common faith throughout the land, in the hope and prayer that it may prove a means of spiritual peace and comfort to many souls, a useful and profitable manual of devotion in the services of the sanctuary, and so an acceptable offering unto the Lord.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel | of the ungodly, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the | seat -of the scornful. But his delight is in the | law of the Lord ; And in his law doth he | meditate day and night. And he shall he like a tree planted hy the rivers of water that bringeth forth his | fruit in his season ; His leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he | do - eth shall prosper. The ungodly | are not so : But like the chaff which the | wind -.driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not | stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congre | gation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the | way of the righteous ; But the way of the un | god- ly shall perish. Psalm 8. Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in | all the earth ! Who hast set thy | glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength be ] cause of thine enemies, That thou mightest still the | ene-my and the avenger. When I consider thy heavens, the [ work of thy fingers ; The moon and the stars | which thou hast ordained ; What is man, that thou art | mindful of him? And the son of man J that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower | than the angels, And hast crowned J him with glory and honor. Thou madest him to have dominion over the | works of thy hands : Thou hast put all | things beneath his feet : All | sheep and oxen, Y";i. ami the | beast* of the field: The fowl of the air, and the | fish of the sea, And whatsoever passcth | through tin '-paths of the seas.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth ;• and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell [Hades] ; the third day he arose again from the dead, he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty : from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost ; the holy catholic church ; the communion of saints ; the forgiveness of sins ; the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. THE NICENE CREED*. I believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible : And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds ; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father ; by whom all things were made; who, for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried ; and the third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures ; and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And he shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son ; who, with the Father and the Son, is worshipped and glorified ; who spake by the prophets. And I believe one Catholic and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins ; and I look for the resurrec- tion of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. THE LORD'S PRAYER. Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name ; thy kingdom come ; thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

Our Example. 1 My dear Redeemer, and my Lord, I read my duty in tliy word ; But in thy life the law appears, Drawn out in living characters. 2 Such was thy truth, and such thy zeal, Such deference to thy Father's will, Such love, and meekness so divine, I would transcribe and make them mine. 3 Cold mountains and the midnight air Witnessed the fervor of thy prayer ; The desert thy temptations knew, Thy conflict and thy victory too. 4 Be thou my pattern ; make me bear More of thy gracious image here ; Then God,'the Judge, shall own my name Among the followers of the Lamb. b Watts. 173. Psalm 45. 1 Now be my heart inspired to sing The glories of my Saviour King: Jesus, the Lord, how heavenly fair His form ! how bright his beauties are ! 2 O'er all the sons of human race He shines with a superior grace; Love from his lips divinely flows, And blessings all his state compose. .3 Thy throne, (rod, forever stands! Grace is the sceptre in thy hands : Thy laws and works are just and right ; Justice and grace are thy delight. 4 God, thine own God, has richly shed His oil of gladness on thy head ; And with his sacred Spirit blest His first-born Son above the rest. Watts. 174. Tlie Beneficence of Christ. 1 When, like a stranger on our sphere, The lowly Jesus wandered here, Where'er he went, affliction fled, And sickness reared her fainting head. 2 The eye that rolled in irksome night Beheld his face, — for God is light! The opening ear, the loosened tongue, His precepts heard, his praises sung. 3 With bounding steps the halt and lame, To hail their great Deliverer came; O'er the cold grave he bowed his head, He spake the word, and raised the dead 4 Despairing madness, dark and wild, In his inspiring presence smiled ; The storm of horror ceased to roll, And reason lightened through the soul. 5 Through paths of loving-kindness led, Where Jesus triumphed we would tread; To all, with willing hands, dispense The sifts of our benevolence. ° MONTGOMERY.

Matt. 11 : 28-30. 1 With tearful eyes I look around, Life seems a dark and stormy sea; Yet, 'midst the gloom, I hear a sound, A heavenly whisper, " Come to Me." 2 It tells me of a place of rest — It tells me where my soul may flee ; Oh, to the weary, faint, oppressed, How sweet the bidding, "Come to Me." 3 When nature shudders, loath to part From all I love, enjoy, and see ; When a faint chill steals o'er my heart, A sweet voice utters, " Come to Me." 4 Come, for all else must fail and die ; Earth is no resting-place for thee ; Heavenward direct thy weeping eye ; I am thy portion, " Come to Me." 5 Oh, voice of mercy ! voice of love ! In conflict, grief, and agony, Support me, cheer me from above ! And gently whisper, " Come to Me." 280 . The Love of Christ. 1 Have we no tears to shed for Him,, While soldiers scoff, and Jews deride? Ah ! look, how patiently he hangs, — Jesus, our Love, is crucified ! 2 What was thy crime, my dearest Lord? By earth, by heaven, thou hast been . tried, And guilty found of too much love; Jesus, our Love, is crucified ! 3 Found guilty of excess of love ! It was thine own sweet will that tied Thee tighter far than helpless nails ; Jesus, our Love, is crucified ! 4 Oh, break, oh, break, hard heart of mine ! Thy weak self-love and guilty pride His Pilate and his Judas were ; Jesus, our Love, is crucified ! 5 A broken heart, a fount of tears, — Ask, and they will not be denied ; A broken heart love's cradle is ; Jesus, our Love, is crucified ! Lyka Cath. 2ol.

Psalm 88. 1 While life prolongs its precious light, Mercy is found and peace is given; But soon, ah ! soon, approaching night Shall blot out every hope of heaven. 2 Soon, borne on time's most rapid wing, Shall death command yon to the grave, Before his bar your spirits bring, And none be found to hear or save. 3 In that lone land of deep despair, No Sabbath's heavenly light shall rise; No God regard your bitter prayer, Nor Saviour call you to the skies. 4 Now God invites — how blest the day ! How sweet the gospel's charming sound ! Come, sinners, haste, oh, haste away, While yet a pardoning God is found. Dvrioirr. 283. Rer. 3:20. 1 Behold a Stranger at the door!

The world can never give The bliss for which we sigh : 'Tis not the whole of life to live, Nor all of death to die. Beyond this vale of tears, There is a life above, Unmeasured by the flight of years; And all that life is love. There is a death whose pang Outlasts the fleeting breath : Oh, what eternal horrors hang Around the second death ! Lord God pf truth and grace ! Teach us that death to shun ; Lest we be banished from thy face, And evermore undone. MONTQOMEKT. i5« The Saviour's Gracious Call. HOB TON. 7s. ft GERMAN. ** eEePJ?

I was a wandering sheep; I did not love the fold ; I did not love my Shepherd's voice ; I would not be controlled. I was a wayward child ; I did not love my home; I did not love my Father's voice; I loved afar to roam. The Shepherd sought his sheep ; The Father sought his child ; They followed me o'er vale and hill, O'er deserts waste and wild. They found me nigh to death, Famished and faint and lone; They bound me with the bands of love ; They saved the wandering one. Jesus my Shepherd is; Twas he that loved my soul ; 'Twas he that washed me in his blood; 'Twas he that made me whole. 'Twas he that sought the lost That found the wandering sheep; 'Twas he that brought me to the fold; 'Tis he that still doth keep. NA.R. 172 Repentance. Prayer for Mercy. BURTON. S. M.

Psalm 121. 1 Up to the hills I lift mine eyes, Th' eternal hills beyond the skies ; Thence all her help my soul derives ; There my almighty Refuge lives. 2 He lives — the everlasting God [flood ; That built the world, that spread the The heavens with all their hosts he made, And the dark regions of the dead. 3 He guides our feet, he guards our way; His morning smiles bless all the day; He spreads the evening veil, and keeps The silent hours, while Israel sleeps. Watts. 388. Psalm 31. 1 Lord, in thy great, thy glorious name, I place my hope, my only trust ; Save me from sorrow, guilt, and shame, Thou ever gracious, ever just. 2 Thou art my rock ! thy name alone The fortress where mv hopes retreat ; Oh, make thy power and mercy known ; To safety guide my wandering feet. 3 Blest be the Lord, forever blest, Whose merry 1>M> my fears remove ; The sacred walls which guard my rest Are his almighty power and love.

Watts. 390. Renunciation of the World. 1 I send the joys of earth away ; Away, ye tempters of the mind, False as the smooth, deceitful sea, And empty as the whistling wind ! 2 Your streams were floating me along, Down to the gulf of black despair ; And while I listened toyoursong, [there. Your .streams had e'en conveyed me 3 Lord! T adore thy matchless grace, Which warned me of that dark abyss, Which drew me from those treacherous And bade me seek superior bliss, [seas, 4 Now to the shining realms above I stretch my hands and glance my eyes ; Oh for the pinions of a dove, To bear me to the upper skies ! 5 There, from the bosom of my God, Oceans of endless pleasure roll ; There would I fix my last abode, And drown the sorrows of my soul ! * Watts. 391. John 6: 68. 1 Thou only Sovereign of my heart, My Refuge, my almighty Friend, And can my soul from thee depart, On whom alone my hopes depend ? 2 Whither, ah ! whither shall I go, A wretched wanderer from my Lord T Can this dark world of sin and woe One glimpse of happiness afford ? 3 Eternal life thy words impart ; On these my fainting spirit lives; Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart Than all the round of nature gives. 4 Let earth's alluring joys combine; While Thou art near, in vain they call ! One smile, one blissful smile of thine, My dearest Lord, outweighs them all. 5 Low at thy feet my soul would lie; Here safety dwells, and peace divine; Still let me live beneath thine eye, For life, eternal life, is thine.

Rom. 8: 35-39. 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing : Our Helper he, amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe ; His craft and power are great, And-arnied with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. 2 Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing ; Were not the right man on our side, The man of God's own choosing. Dost ask who that may be ? Christ Jesus, it is he ; Lord Sabaoth is his name, From age to age the same, And he must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us ; We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us. The Prince of darkness grim, — We tremble not for him ; His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure, — One little word shall fell him ! 4 That word above all earthly powers - No thanks to them — abideth ; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also : The body they may kill : God's truth abideth still, His kingdom is forever. Luther by Dr. Hedge. 393. 1 Rejoice to-day with one accord, Sing out with exultation. Rejoice and praise our mighty Lord, Whose arm hath brought salvation. His works of love proclaim The greatness of his name; For he is God alone, Who hath his mercy shown ; — Let all his saints adore him ! 2 When in distress to him we cried, He heard our sad complaining ; Oh, trust in him, whate'er betide, His love is all-sustaining. Triumphant songs of praise To him our hearts shall raise : Now every voice shall say, " Oh, praise our God alway ! " Let all his saints adore him !

Rom. 13: 11. 2 Though in a foreign land, We are not far from home ; And nearer to our house above We every moment come. 3 His grace will to the end Stronger and brighter shine; Nor present things, nor things to come, Shall quench the spark divine. 4 When we in darkness walk, Nor feel the heavenly flame, Then is the time to trust our God, And rest upon his name. 5 Soon shall our doubts and fears Subside at his control ; His loving-kindness shall break through The midnight of the soul. 6 Blest is the man, O Lord, Who stays himself on thee; Who waits for thy salvation, Lord, Shall thy salvation see. TOPLAJDY. 395. lCor. 10: 31. 1 Teach me, nay God and King, In all things thee to see; And what I do in anything, To do it as for thee ! 2 To scorn the senses' sway, While still bo thee I tend ; In all I do, be thou the way, In all, be thou the end. 3 All may of thee partake ; Nothing so small can be But draws, when acted for thy sake, Greatness and worth from thee. 4 If done beneath thy laws, E'en servile labors shine ; Hallowed is toil, if this the cause ; The meanest work, divine. G. Herbert. 396. Psalm 23. 1 The Lord my Shepherd is ; I shall be well supplied ; Since he is mine, and I am his, What can I want beside ? 2 He leads me to the place Where heavenly pasture grows ; Where living waters gently pass, And full salvation flows. 3 If e'er I go astray, He doth my soul reclaim ; And guides me, in his own right way, For his most holy name. 4 While he affords his aid, I cannot yield to fear; Though I should walk through death's dark shade. My Shepherd's with me there. 5 The bounties of thy love Shall crown my following days ; Nor from thy house will 1 remove, Nor cease to speak thy praise. Watts.

He gently clears thy way ; Wait thou his time ; so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. 3 Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear, When fully he the work hath wrought That caused thy needless fear. 4 What though thou rulest not ! Yet heaven and earth and hell Proclaim, God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well ! Gerhabdt. 399. Psalm 55. 1 Let sinners take their course, And choose the road to death, But in the worship of my God I'll spend my daily breath. 2 My thoughts address his throne, When morning brings the light; I seek his blessing every noon, And pay my vows at night. 3 Thou wilt regard my cries, my eternal God ! While sinners perish in surprise, Beneath thine angry rod. 4 Because they dwell at ease, And no sad changes feel, They neither fear, nor trust thy name, Nor learn to do thy will. 5 But I, with all my cares, Will lean upon the Lord; I'll cast my burdens on his arm, And rest upon his word.

All time, all space, by thee illumed, Grows bright and brighter still, Obedient to thy high behest, And to thy sovereign will. 2 To thee dominion sole belongs, And 'tis to thee alone, My Father, Saviour, living God, I make my sorrows known : Thy love, celestial and divine, Descends upon my heart, Inspiring courage, hope, and joy, And bidding grief depart. 3 Protected by thy power and love, My body sinks to rest ; My soul, within thy heavenly arms, Reposes, calm and blest. Lord of my life, in darkest night I sleep and have no fear, And in the early dawn of day I wake and find thee near. 401. Following Christ. 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain ; His blood-red banner streams afar; — Who follows in his train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain ; Who patient bears his cross below, — He follows in his train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave ; Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on him to save. Like him, with pardon on his tongue In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong ; — Who follows in his train ? 3 A glorious band, the chosen few On whom the Spirit came ; [knew, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane, [feel ; — They bowed their necks, the death to Who follows in their train ? A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Savi< th -lours throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven, Through peril, toil, and pain ; O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train. Monk's Coll. Gods Mercies. The Higher Life, 191 DEXFIELD. C. M.
