TO
The Members and Friends
OF THE
METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
THE Hymnbook heretofore in use among us
is been thought by many to be defective, partly
n account of the mutilated state of many of the
, and partly because of its being divided
to two books. To remedy these inconveniences,
leasures have been adopted to prepare a revis
lition of our Hymnbook, such a one as should
kclude the defects and retain the excellences of
he one heretofore published. This revised edition
re now present to you.
The greater part of the hymns contained in the
}rmer selection are retained in this, and several
rom Wesley's and Coke's collections, not before
ublished in this country, are added. The prin-
ipal improvements which have been made, consist
h restoring those which had been altered, as is
elieved for the worse, to their original state, as
hey came from the poetical pen of the Wesleys;
pr the following hymns were, except a few which
(*) ºr -- ~ : -, 3-,


4
have been taken from other authors, composed by
the Rev. John and Charles Wesley; names º
will ever be held dear and in high estimation b
every lover of sacred poetry.
The following hymns, arranged under their ap
ropriate heads, were submitted to our Genera
Conference, approved by that body, and ordere:
for publication.
In presenting this revised Hymnbook to you fo
your use, we bumbly trust that we are putting int
your hands one of the choicest selections of evan
gelical hymns, suitable for private devotion, as well
as for family, social, and public worship, by whi
you will be much aided in the performance of thes:
important parts of divine service.
We are the more delighted with this design, a
no personal advantage is concerned, but the publi
good alone. For after the necessary expenses o
publication are discharged, we shall make it
noble charity, by applying the profits arising there
from to religious and charitable purposes.
No motive of a sinister nature has therefore in
fluenced us in any degree to publish this excellen
compilation. As the profits of the former edition
have been scrupulously applied as above, so th:
same appropriation of the profits of the presen
shall be conscientiously observed. We must there

5
by ore earnestly entreat you, if you have any respect
for the authority of the conference, or of us, or any
regard for the prosperity of the Church of which
ou are members and friends, to purchase no
ap Hymnbooks but what are published by our own
*agents, and signed with the names of your bishops.
And as we intend to keep a constant supply, the
º: of our congregations, “that they cannot
rocure our Hymnbooks,” will be stopped.
* we exhort you to sing with the spirit and with
* the understanding also: and thus may the high
* praises of GoD be sent up from east to west, from
* north to south; and we shall be happily instru.
* mental in leading the devotion of thousands, and
shall rejoice to join you in time and eternity.
s We are, dear brethren,

That bids our sorrows cease;

He sets the prisºner free;
His blood can make the fouleat clean;

For every soul of man.

Of a sick heart with pity view :

And all our strength exert;
Vouchsafe the grace we humbly claim;
Compose into a thankful frame,
And tune thy people's heart.

And still the pleasing task pursue,
To please our God alone. -

To spread the honours of the Lamb,
Let us our voices raise;

Regardless of our own delight,
And dead to human praise.

And music’s charms bewitch and steal

And let mine enemies be slain,
Which would withdraw me from thy word,
And plunge me in the world again :

The Father's everlasting Son,
Thee it delights thy church to own;

Whose glorious mercies never end.
2 Bent to redeem a sinful race,
Thou, Lord, with unexampled grace,
Into our lower world didst come,
And stoop to a poor virgin's womb;.
Whom all the heavens cannot contain,
Our God, appear'd a child of man!
3 When thou hadst render'd up thy breath,
And, dying, drawn the sting of death,
Thou didst from earth triumphant rise,
nd ope the portals of the skies,
That all who trust in thee alone
Might follow, and partake thy throne.
4 Seated at God's right hand again,
Thou dost in all his glory reign;
Thou dost, thy Father's image, shine
In all the attributes divine;
And thou with judgment clad shalt come,
To seal our everlasting doom.

O Saviour, take our sins away!

That thou at last wilt take us up;
With daily triumph we proclaim,
And bless and magnify thy name;
And wait thy greatness to adore,
And save thy servants to the end.
3 Still let us, Lord, by thee be blest,
Who in thy guardian mercy rest:
Extend thy mercy's arms to me, .
The weakest soul that trusts in thee;
And never let me lose thy love,

And breaks their dark designs;
Strong is his arm, and shall fulfil

Of glory condescend ?

The earthly and the heavenly Sabbath.
On this thy day, in this thy house;

The songs which from thy servants rise.
2 Thine earthly sabbaths, Lord, we love:
But there's a nobler rest above;
To that our lab’ring souls aspire,
With ardent pangs of strong desire.
3 No more fatigue, no more distress,
Nor sin nor hell shall reach the place;
No sighs shall mingie with the songs
Which warble from immortal tongues,
4. No ruác arms of raging foes;
No cares to break the long repose;
No midnight shade, no clouded sun,
But sacred, high, eternal moon.
5 0 long-expected day, begin;
wn on these realms of wo and sin:
Fain would we leave this weary road,
And sleep in death, to rest with God.

And we the sabbath's call attend;

Which none but they who feel it know.
Which for the sons of God remains;
The end of cares, the end of pains.

One chorus of perpetual praise
To thee thy various works shall raise;
Thy saints to thee in hymns impart
The transports of a grateful heart.

Delighted with the wondrous theme;
And bid the world's wide realms admire
The glories of th’ almighty Sire -
whº throne intº wreck survives,
Whose power through endless ages lives.
4. Who ask thine aid with heart sincere,
Shall find thy succours ever near;
To thee their prayer in each distress,
Thy suffering servants, Lord, address;
And prove thee, verging on the grave,
Nor slow to hear, nor weak to save.

Sinners, a vile and thankless race;
O God, what tongue aright can tell
ow vast thy love, how great thy grace?

With ; our grateful hearts receive:
All thy delight in us fulfil ;
Lo! all we are to thee we give.
4 To thy sure love, thy tender care,
ur flesh, soul, spirit, we resign;
O fix thy sacred presence there,
And seal th’ abode for ever thine.
5 O King of glory, thy rich grace
Our feeble thought surpasses far;
Yea, e?en our crimes, though numberless,
Less numerous than thy mercies are
6 Still, Lord, thy saving health display,
d'arm our souls with heavenly zeal;
So fearless shall we urge our way
Through all the powers of earth and hell.
