May, 1840, "the whole subject of Psalmody, with the procuring and furnishing an edition of Psalms and Hymns 
for our general use, in a way involving no pecuniary re- e

Committee, having throutg  successive periods attended 
{ to the weighty trust, endeavoring to perflrm the difficult 
duty assigned them  according to the true intent of the
[ Assembly, and for the edification of the church of God,

THE object of this volumze is to furnish the Churches with  I
a complete COLLECTION OF SACRED S3o-NG  for public wor- 
ship; and in presenting such a work, when so many, aiming
at the same end, are already in circulation, -we seem to be 
called upon to state somle reasons which have influenced nus 
in this undertali ns, and wrhich may have some   weight with 
others. Theleast offensive moce in lwhich this can be done, 
*   ill be to give a brief exposition of the princilies which
have been kept in view ia i ts execution.  An oztline is all
~ that will be given —fo  more than this, hiowever much it
may be demanded, or however rich in thou0lht or replete
I with practical vwisdiom, would be hardly ever read.  A
PRE.FACE is generally deemed a very dull 1and unattractive 
part of a Book, so mnuch so, that if an author had some pro- 6
found secrets whiich h'e wished to record, and yet preserve
in deep obscurity, lie mnight be advised, as it regards most 
readers, to commit them  to the safe-keeping of these ne- 
glected pages.  Anud yet some persons read a P reface, and 
for the benefit of sucLh this on0e s writ7ten. n
The subjects of LYrxrc POETRY and PSALMIODY are inti- 
mately and inseparably connected, and. IS is in vain to ex-!
P pect one to exist; in a h ligh state of perfectlion without'the 
other; or for eithe  to attain  distinguished excellence 
$ without cultivation.  it must be acknowledged, that min- 
isters and churches have not studied this subiect with that
attention which it claims, nor even in relative proportion 
when compared with other grave matters pertaining to  i
the worship of God.  Singing often falls far below every 
other part of the services of tle sanctuary, from  the want  -
of both sympathy and knowledge, on the part of the 
Church.'Little is known on the sub:ect, and little is felt 
in relation to it.  But this is a state as unwise as it is 
criminal.  It is a matter of vast acnd vit;al importance that 
* all who desire thlat the public institutions -of eloigion may n
make the best imnoression atnd secure the'ir highest resuits,
i and especially that ministers of.e gospiel should under- e
I stand what Sacred Songlis are adapted to social worship,
* and what tunes will impart to thdem  the greatest power  I
and efficiency.  Both of these subjects should form a part?
of christian instruction, and especially of theological trainI ing.  A brief course of Lectures on Lyric Poetry, is hardly

I    ~          -   --, less necessary than a course on Sermonizing and Pastoral  i
Theology; and a preacher of the gospel should read and 
study the best Psalms and Hymns, as an every-day-busi-! ness, as he does his Bible, till he is acquaintled with their  i
sentiments, familiar with their stru-ture and imnagery, and 
deeply imbued wit'h their spirit.  The advantages of such,  a course are obvmioCs and numberless;-some of them so 
plain that they need not be specified, and wheen taken col- 
lectively, and in all thleir intellectual and moral relations,  g
too many to be embraced in this rapid sketch.  It is not 
saying too much to affirm, tha' such a ciscipline would en-  $
large a minister's knowledge, improve his taste, increase 
his piety, refine his imagination, invigorate his eloquence,
and give him readiness, appropriaten-ess and power, in the 
ipublic exercises of his profession.  Ils volume of sacred  $
poetry should be a Text-Book by the side of the Bible, and  $
h e should be equially familiar w'ith both.  If this were the 
case, the sermon and singingo would more generally har- 
i monize in their obiect a-nd impressions, than they now do;
i the minister wonudi have to ex.oend less time in consulting  i
$ numerous indexes in order to lknow wh-at to select; and 
in the very act of recad'ing the Psalm  or Hymn, he would 
i mlake an impiression which would instruct the hearers, and'
give te key-note of sentiment        and expression to the choir. 
-ow  deficient the ministry rmay be in these respects, is  i
matter of o3inion of w'hic h every person will judge for 
s himself.
i    The character of Psalmody must always be affected by  $
a great variety of circnumstances whsich need not be advert- 
i  ed to in this place; but nothingo has a greater influence, to elevate or depress, to advance or retard its progress,
than the.Lyric Poety wmlehic  is employed in the service of 
God.  The following defects may easily be detected in 
many of the Psalms and Hymnns now- in use.  Some are 
composed on subjiects unsuited to son —ot hers are destii tute of a lyrical spirit-another class lack simplicity of  I
$ design and execution'and not a  Iew are of an unreason- i
able length for a single exercise of singinmg.  To remedy 
these anmd other de-ects, tnd to secure, if possible, certain  i
excellencies which are attained as- yet only in part, are 
n amon- the objects of this p blic tion..
That Lyric Poetry has a chiaracter of its own-that it
moves in a sphere peculiar to itself-and that its subjects 
I are liited, there is no room  for doubt.  On these points 
I all critics agree.  This poetry is made to be sung; and,  I
$ when combined with appropriate music, we have a vehi- 
a ole, at once natural and refined, for the expression of 
} strong emotion.  A Psalm or Hymn should be devotional,  $
~                                                                   ft




I%$        ~          PREFACE.                         vii
rather than didactic, because the warm  inspirations of the  I
heart, and not the cool deductions of the intellect, are its 
$ province.  Ascriptions of thanksgiving and praise to God,
e the breathing  of filial desire and confidence, the cheering 
influence of hope, te tremblings of self-distrust and religious fear, "peace anld jiy in tie Holy Ghost," and all
the strong feelings which are called forth in a world of;
conflict and expectation, belong  to this department of,
poetry.  Any tiling and  every thinf whlich pertains to
devotion ancd  hrisstian experience, mlay furnish a subject
for spiritnual song. 
And yet, notwithstanding  these  well-defined limits, 
which nature itself has fixed tio Lyric Poetry, there are
hundreds of Hymns, in our language, whlich can never be 
sung to any good effect, because their subject-matter is
foreign to this kind of writing.  They can, from their very 
nature, neither inspire religious emotion, nor become the 
channels of this emotion  already inspired.  They contribute to extinguish rather tthan to kindle up, the holy 
flame.  They are good sermons, but poor songs.  This
fault in the choice of subjects, is much more rarely to be
met vwith in secular than spiritual odes; and thle sane may
be said in relation to thle lmusic by whic'h they are accompanied.  The reasons of this may not;, perhaps, be easily
detected.  It cannot be for a rmoment altmictted, t;hat revealed religion is unfruitful in themes.  If nature may be
sung, why not nature's God?   If creation can inspire the
i lyric bard, why not redemption, witl its brighter glories,
and its more enlduring interests?  If earth has its raptures, Vwhy should.-heaven be poor, and powerless, a~nd
without a song?  if great and good men wvho lave lived
and acted and died, have, by their virtues or heroism,
called fortih the finest and sweetest tones of the Lyre, lwhy
should the praises of the only Gr-eat and Good, who lives
in his own immortality, and wlose won drous acts are recorded for thle admiration of all worlds, sleep in silence
and be forgotten.   it m-ay be weorthy of rem-ark in this 
place, that few  poets of  the first order have ever tried
their pinions in this upper sky; but when they have, and  $
selected an appropriate'theme, th ey  have showed that the 
waters of Zion can impart a purer i'npiration than the 
fabled Castalian spring. 
If the province of Lyric Poetry is to inspire and express 
emotion, then  no Psalm  or Hiymn can answer the true
purpose of christian worship unless it breathes the appropriate spirit.  Its execution, as well as its subject, must
i be lyric.  It may be rhyme, and not poetry.  It may be
i poetry, and yet not be adapted to singing.  Heroics can 
i                                "                                  *~h3hb ~ 2~~re*~a ~ **~~aaJ~t?~ar

never, with any advantnage, be set to music.  A  H-ymn, 
i whether it respects God, our fellow-beinos,  or orselves, 
should be thie effusion   of the heart, and tha t cat lnder 
proper influences-melted and dissolved by just such emo- 
tions as suit the condition0  described, or thel occlasion for i
w vhich the song i iintended.  The lano uage should be siri- 
ple; t'he images striking, but not goaudy;  the figures un- 
inlcumbered; the sentences uninvolved  and short; the
structure free flrom  all ambigu ity; the vwhole styve and., manner chaste, and not loaded withl ornaento er pithet;
and the stanzas, and even lines, express, as far as practica- 
blei, acomplete idea.  in one word, it must be poetry, and
lyric poetry, or it will chill the native inspirations of
song, and defeat thile great end of this part of worship.
A HIymn should possess unity of desi'n, and simplicity 
in execution.  One greuat obJect should be aimed at, and  $
every thought and expression should be rendered subser-  I
* vient to this.   The piece slhould be o1e, tending to a single end, and termilnti ng in  one grand impression.  One 
o  the first poets of the present agne, and one rwho las 
i written many excellent Hyimns too, has described thlis
p )roperty so ievll, lthat wte cannot forbear transcribingo his 
language, as lore apropriate'lha  any t,'ing that wAe can 
say.   rTh   rea der," he  says,  "should kinorr  whllen  thie! strain is complete,  and be satisfied, a.s at the close of an  "
a irin music; while defects and superfluitsies should be felt 
by him as annoyances, in whavtever part thiey might occur. 
~ The practice of many good men, in framingo HIymns, has
been quite the contrary.  They have begun apparently 
with tie only idea in their mind at the time; another, 
with  little relationship to  the former, lhs been forced I
i upon them  by a refractory rhyme; a third became ne- 
cessary to eke out a verse, a fourth to begoin one; and so  $
on, till having compiled a sufficient number of stanzas of  t
on, till having copeI to                         r    s    as
so mS any 111es  l in es and lnes of so many syllables, tile opera-,
tion has been susiRended." 
As every Sacred Song should'have a subject of its own,  |
and  form  a regular prioduction, having  a beginning, a 
middle and an end, so it should be adapted, in its len th, t
to the purpose of singing.  Important as this tloloulgh  is,
it has been greatly overlooked by the writ;erTs of HLymns,
I and the compilers of Books for the use of the sanctlary. 
i The very best authors are not free from  this fault.  In 
one volume now before us of no mean pretensions, hymns s; may be found of eight, ten and twelve stanzas; and one  I
P  occurs of eight stanzas of eight lines each, Long Metre —
i  making sixty-four lines; and this Hymn, the author tells,;  us in the preface, "is considerably  abridged  from  the  {?b~ ~~~?~6M    1~4a   5~~~~~2  83 ~~~~~4b~~6       5~C~1B~,




PREFACE,                        ix
original."  Various expedients have been resorted to both 
by authors and compilers, in order to remedy this evil.
Here and there a stanza is included in brackets, and;
I pauses are introduced into the middle, or other parts of 
the production —thus marring the beauty of the page, and  \
often destroying the connection, and always impairing'
the unity of the piece.  The better way, no doubt, is to
reduce every Psalm or Hymn, designed for public worship,
to a convenient length for this purpose, by rejecting those
stanzas which are redundant, which are deficient in lyric, spirit, and which destroy the unity of design.  There are  $
few  long -Hymns,  il our  language, which will not be sufficiently shortened by the application of the above rule.
Some of a popular character, and, as it regards portions
$  of them, of standard merit, may be reduced to two or three
stanzas; but this is not objectionable, as vwe often need
shor't Hymns of- a sriking' character, for evening-meetings,
and at the close of sermons.  And it should net be forgotten, thatl  much more is lost than gained, by singing 
what is neither poetical nor appropriate.  Indeed it is far
better to dispense with some good stanzas, and thus bring
the piece at once to a suitable length for singing, than to
continue these in books intended for public use, when no
choir can perform  them with ease and effect.  The practice so extensively in use of omitting certain stanzas, as it 
must be done for the most part on thle spur of the occasion,
confuses the choih, while it often breaks the connection 
of thought and the unity of the subject.  The author, or 
editor, is much more competent to do this than the leader  t
of public worship.
From  four to six stanzas of the grave and ordinary  $
metres, may be considered a suitable length for a sonio of
social praise.  In metres of a brisker movement, the addition of one or two stanzas more, may not be improper.
The same indulgence may be conceded to some Hymns of
a peculiar character, and to those which are to be used 
only on special occasions.  But it is a great practical
principle which every minister, and every leader of a  $
choir, should understand, THAT SINGING, IN ORDER TO BE EF-.
FECTIVE, MUST NOT BE TOO LONG.
Having given an exposition of the leading principles on
which this work has been constructed, it may be proper
to speak a little more explicitly of the materials from 
which it has been formed.:    It is intended that this volume shall contain a complete' collection of Psalms and Hymns for the Sanctuary, the' Lecture-room, and all other places of social worship. In
the arrangement of the Psalms, Dr. Watts is the leading 
v8                              _                                 Bs^*^*

b        a suthor.  Many other versilications of high merit have;  been  selected from  Doddridge. Steele, Kenn, Newton, 
Montgomeory, Conder and others, which have been arranlged, in their prope' places, with tlose of Watts, so that it;
* is believed that this part of the volume preIents a greatetr
number and a richer variety of Psalms adapted to silgino, 
than any Book yet publislhed in our languagfe.  Fev aO- 
terations have been ma.de in.rranement or expression,;  and the thought of t;he poet, for the imost palrt, has been 
sacredly guarded.  Most of te changes, which have been
adopted, are those which vreve necessa.ry in order to con- 
$ form  the work to the principles already stated.    Whole 
Psalms of an inferior a.nd prosaic eharacter have been  $
t omitted; the same may be said of sita.zas which are re- 
d lundant, interrupt, the unity of design, or lack the spirit 
of holy song; bt it  is believed, that those Psalms and 
e stanzas, tho ug ttheyv incumber many Books now in use, 
are rarely ever sung.  In Imaling this compilation, it hlas. not been the design to throw taway a single stanza of superior merit, or one xwhich could contribute to tihe grand 
purpose of singing, except when the production vwas of 
immoderate length; but whleno this  a s the case, to dis- 
pense with some good stanzas has been preferred to the 
common practice of using brackets or pcauses, or -w-hat is 
still worse, of imposing an oppressive burthenl upon the
choir.
In relation to the Psalms, it may be said, in the language of another, " That the harp of David yet hangs upon
the willow, disdaining the touch of any lhand less skilful
than his own."  Thel older versions of IDavid's Psalums are
generally destitute of all poetic merit.  -ow and thern a
ray of the genius and the inspiration of the Hlebrew bar'd,
breaks through the dullness of their prosaic rhiymes, but 
these ar   e  "lie a el-visits, few and far between."  If it
be alleged, as it often is, that these versifiers entirely ad- 
here to the originaiit may be replied, that it is in letter,
e not in spirit.  For the most part, their productions are 
nothing more nor less tihan ite English  translation of' David, converted into conmmion rhymes, while tlh  spirt i
o otf te  riginal Iha s   1e.  t is  ne of the wonders of litera- 
ture, that the productions of Sternhold ande HIopkins, of 
$ Tate and Brady, to say nothing of earlier, and still poorer' 
$ versifiers, should furnish the pri  cipal songs of enlighten- 
ed and cultivated clhristian congregations, in the nineteenth 
century.  It shows us how fart the human mind may ad- 
t vance in some things, and remiain stationary in others;-' how far taste maybe refined, and the entire powers of im-  $
} mortal man be enkindled and entranced by the produc^                                             ____        ^~~a~~BC)-t~~~~aW

associations, be delighted with ancient dullness and bar- 
barism. 
The practical influence of all this upon the tone and  $
- vigor of piety —npon the higher feelings of devotion-upon 
those purer and holier emotions of the christian's heart,
by which he ofen c omes near to heaven and enters into  w
intimate converse wilth his God and Saviour, is a problem 
of deep imrport whiilch  every minister at the altar may well

solve. 
Dr. Watts struck orut a pat  for himself, and has been
imitated by all the versifiers of David, and the composers
of hymns, since his day.  le is not without his faults, but 
his best productiois are now  sung, in every land, andl
among almost all cenominations of clhistians, where the 
S English languagoe is spoken, and probably will continue  i
$ to be througl  the miiieniumn, and to the end of the world. 
$ His Psalms, taken as a whole, are superior to his Hymns; 
and  n relation to the former it Lmay be said, that Dr.;
Watts has drawn sweeter tones from  the harp of David, 
than it has ever given to the church of God, since the  $
hand of the old Hebrew bard s3wept across its strings, and 
i enkindled the devotions of the faithful: With regard to 
some of his Hymins, and a large number too, they are not
inferior to his best versifications of the Psalms.,
The Hymns, contained in this collection, have been selected fiom  the productions of the best writers of this 
species of poetry, in our language; and such alterations
have been made as bring them  into a proper form  to be  S
used in the worship of the "Sanctuary."  In preparing  R
this work, we have used the most approved editions of 
Hymns, and no changes have been made unless impera-  8
tively called for by the rules already stated and defended.
The names of authors, as far as could be ascertained, are  $
given in the Index, and it is not necessary to refer to them 
here.  We cannot, however, forbear recording a sense of
our deep indebtedness both to the living and to the dead,
for those excellent labors which have furnished us with
the materials for the formation of this volume, which vwe
now present to the christian public, in the confident hope  I
that it may increase the Knowledge and Piety of the
Church, and promote, among the friends of Zion, the love
of holy song.

Remembered songs of gladness,
Through night's lone silence brought,
Strike notes of deeper sadness,
And stir desponding thoughts.

His tender mercy never

Shut up in endless wrath?
No; this is my own blindness,

m  2 So when he sent his angel down 
To make his wrath in Egypt known,;         And slew their sons,-his careful eye:         Passed all the doors of Jacob by.
3 But if the fire, or plague, or sword,
I$eceive commission from the Lord,
To strike his saints among the rest,
Their very pains and deaths are blest.

Shall but fulfill their best desire;
From sins and sorrows set them free,
And bring thy children, Lord! to thee.

While his dear cross appears;

And melt mine eyes to tears.

In  vocal thunders, swell?
The perfecting of joy and love,
What raptured legions tell?
2 The glorious apostolic band,Do they in triumph sing?
Do prophets from the holy land
Their inspiration bring?
3 Or from the noble army breaks
The deep, adoring strain,
Who won their way fiom fiery stakes,
And were for conscience slain?
4 Is it the patrialrcla l lace,
That breathe the sacred song?
<       Or, to the heirs of gospel grace,
f          Do the flll choirs belong?
mf   5 For each, for all, the WTord is found
Almigllty to atone:
All,-all in sliining hosts surround
The bright celestial throne.
6 Peoples, and languages, and tongues
The clihoal anthem raise:
To every voice and speech belongs
The work of heavenly praise.
