Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1853, by the rKEEWiLL Baptist Printing Establishment, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the District of New Hampihlre, STEREOTTPED AT THE 301TOIV ITEREOTYFE FOUNDRY. PEEFACE. Heaven is the seat and home of song. It is not strange therefore that the pious on earth, bending their footsteps thither, anticipating their future employment, should give expression to their religious emotions in hymns of praise. Hence, in ail ages of the church, the singing of the songs of Zion has constituted an essential part of worship. But, that this exercise should be at once interesting and profit- able, it is of the first importance that suitable and apf)ro- priate hymns should be furnished. Poetry is the language of emotion. Through it the heart finds its distinctive utterance. Correct sentiment in prose may be read with interest and profit, and, if written in rh^'tlim and measure, it may be set to notes and sung. But no exactness of versification, no perfection of rhyme and accent, can atone for the absence of that fervid and impassioned diction v/hich constitutes the true essence of poetry. Hymns, to meet the demands of enlightened Christianity, must also possess at least a moderate share of literary excellence. And yet, for sacred melody, an exuberance of ornament is not only superfluous, but inconsistent. A plain, flowing style, a succession of appropriate figures, a smooth and easy versification, are best adapted to produce the desired effect ; furnishing the most suitable medium through which the pious heart can breathe its devotions. It is hoped that this compilation will show that these points, in particular, as well as others essential to the de- Bired end, have not been overlooked nor misconceived. The compilers of this work have endeavored to restore the original reading in cases where, in the hands of other compilers, hymns have undergone such changes as did not (3) PREFACE. essentially improve them ; and where a decided imprOTe- ment has been made, no pains have been spared to select the most desu'able versions. Hymns containing sentiments obviously inharmonious "with the faith of those for Avhom this book is especially designed have been excluded, though in some instances possessing, in other respects, rare merits. If, however, there should occasionally occur a sentence which might be con- strued into a slight leaning towards an erroneous doctrine . or an exploded dogma, it should be borne in mind that more may be gained by givitig to the genius of poetry a little latitude than by placing it under too much restriction ; and that there are hymns whose language may, in a single instance, leave us in doubt as to the author's meaning, which, nevertheless, are too good to be lost. I«L the arrangement of the hymns, regard has been had to the natural order suggested by some relation which the subjects treated of sustain to each other; and the hymns arranged under the several general subjects which treat of particular topics are grouped together; though these sub- divisions are not noticed in the table of contents. A little attention to the order of arrangement which extends through the book will render the whole system plain and practi- cal. By consulting the alphabetical index of subjects, one is conducted to a group of hymns treating more or less directly on the topic in question, from which he can make his selection at pleasure. The scriptural references being full, and, as it is hoped, generally accurate, will afford great aid to the same end ; but the index just referred to is most to be relied on, though even this cannot be supposed to be perfect. The work thus ])repared goes to the churches with the gincere and most fervent i^rayers of the compilers, that it may aid the pious in their devotions, tend to elevate and improve the standard of sacred music in our congregations, and contribute in no small degree to the advancement and triumphs of the glorious cause and kingdom of Christ, in "whose sight <' praise is comely.'* (4) CONTENTS.

Joy of Public Worship. 1 GREAT God, attend, while Zion sings The joy that from thy presence springs : To spend one day with thee on earth Exceeds a thousand days of mirth. 2 Might I enjoy the meanest place Within thy house, O God of grace, Not tents of ease nor tIn*ones of power Should tempt my feet to leave the door. 3 God is our sun — he makes our day ; God is our shield — he guards our way From all th' assaults of hell and sin ; From foes without and foes within. 4 AU needful grace will God bestow, And crown that grace with glory too : He gives us all things, and withholds No real good fi'om upright souls. 5 God, our King, whose sovereign sway The glorious host of heaven obey, Display th/ grace, exert thy power, Till all on earth thy name adore. 2. L. M. Tate & Brady Universal Adoration. 1 WITH one consent, let all the earth To God their cheerful voices raise ; Glad homage pay, with hallowed mirth, And sing before him sorgs of praise ; WORSHIP AND PRAISE. 2 Assured that he is God alone, From whom both we and all proceed ; We, whom he chooses for his own, ^ The flock which he delights to feed. 3 0, enter, then, his temple gate ; . Thence to his courts devoutly press ; And still your grateful hymns repeat, And still his name with praises bless ; 4 For he's the Lord, supremely good ; His mercy is forever sure ; His truth, which always fii-mly stood, To eiidless ages shall endure. 3. S. M. WATTg. ExJiortation to Worship, 1 COME, sound his praise abroad, And hymns of glory sing : Jehovah is the sovereign God, The universal King. 2 Come, worship at his throne ; Come, bow before the Lord ; We are liis work, and not our own ; He formed us by his word. 3 To-day attend hia voice. Nor dare provoke his rod ; Come, like the people of his choice, And own your gr£,cious God. 4. C. M. HOSKINS. Assembling for Worship, 1 IN thy great name, Lord, we come To worship at thy feet ; 0, pour thy Holy Spirit down On all that now shall meet. 2 We come to hear Jehovah speak, To hear the Savior's voice ; Thy face and favor. Lord, we seek ; Now make our hearts rejoice. 2 WORSHIP AND PRAISE. 3 Teach us to pray and praise ; to hear And understand thy word ; To feel thy blissful presence near, And trust our living Lord. 4 Let sinners now thy goodness prove, And saints rejoice in thee ; Let rebels be subdued by love, And to the Savior flee. 5. 8s, 7s, & 4. Kelley. Spiritual Improvement. 1 IN thy name, Lord, assembling, We, thy people, now draw near ; Teach us to rejoice with trembling ; Speak, and let thy servants hear, — Hear with meekness, — Hear thy word with godly fear. 2 While our days on earth are lengthened, May we give them, Lord, to thee ; Cheered by hope, and daily strengthened, We would run, nor weary be. Till thy glory, Without clouds, in heaven we see. 3 There, in worship purer, sweeter, All thy people shall adore, Tasting of enjoyment greater Than they could conceive before ; Full enjoyment, — Holy bliss, forevermore. 6, C. M. wi^Ts. Delight in the House of God, 1 HOW did my heart rejoice to hear My friends devoutly say, " In Zion let us all appear. And keep the solemn day ! " 2 I love her gates ; I love the road ; The church, adorned with grace, 3 WOBSHIP AND PRAISE. Stands like a palace built for God, To show his milder face. 3 Up to her courts, with joy unknown, The holy tribes repair ; The Son of David holds his throne, And sits in judgment there. 4 Peace be within this sacred place, And joy a constant guest ; With holy gifts and heavenly grace Be her attendants blest. 5 My soul shall pray for Zion still, While life or breath remains ; Here my best friends, my kindred, dwell ; Here God, my Savior, reigns. 7. L. M. . Watts. Sovereign Jehovah* 1 BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy : Know that the Lord is God alone ; He can create, and he destroy. 2 His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men ; And when, like wandering sheep, we strayed, He brought us to his fold again. 3 We are his people — we his care ; Our souls, and all our mortal frame : What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to thy name ? 4 We*ll crowd thy gates with thankful songs. High as the heaven our voices raise ; And earth, with all her thousand tongues. Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 5 Wide as the world is thy command ; Vast as eternity thy love ; Firm as a rock thy truth shall stand, When rolKng years shall cease to move. WORSHIP AND PKAISE. 8. CM. Watts. Longing for the House of God, 1 EARLY, my God, without delay, I haste to seek thy face ; My thu-sty spirit faints away Without thy cheering grace. 2 So pilgrims, on the scorching sand, Beneath a burning sky. Long for a cooling stream at hand; And they must drink, or die. 3 I've seen thy glory, and .thy power, Through all thy temple shine ; My God, repeat that heavenly hour, That vision so divme. 4 Not all the blessings of a feast Can please my soul so well, As when thy richer grace I taste, And in thy presence dwell. 5 Not life itself, with all its joys. Can my best passions move. Or raise so high my ciieerful voice, As thy forgiving love. 6 Thus, till my last, expiring day, I'll bless mv God and King ; Thus will I lift my hands to pray. And tune jny lips to sing. 9. S. p. M. Watts. Delight in Worship* 1 HOW pleased and blest was I, To Iieir the people cry, " Comej let us seek our God to-day ! " Yes, with a cheerful zeal, We'n haste to Zion's hill. And there our vows and honors pay. 2 Zion, thrice happy place. Adorned with wondrous grace, 1* 5 WORSHIP AND PRAISE. And walls of strength embrace thee round In thee our tribes appear To pray, and praise, and hear The sacred gospel's joyful sound. 3 Here David's greater Son Has fixed his royal throne ; He sits for grace and judgment here : Pie bids the saints be glad He makes the sinners sad, And humble souls rejoice with fear. 4 May peace attend thy gate. And joy within thee wait. To bless the soul of every guest : The man who seeks thy peace, And wishes thine increase, A thousand blessings on him rest. 5 My tongue repeats her vows, " Peace to tMs sacred house ! " For here my friends and kindred dwell :, And since my glorious God Makes thee his blest abode, My soul shall ever love thee well. 10. L. M. Watts. The Pleasures of PvhUc Worship* 1 HOW pleasant, how divinely fair, O Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are ! With long desire my spirit faiata To meet th' assemblies of thy saints. 2 My flesh would rest in thine abode , My panting heart cries out for God ; My God, my King, why should I be So far from all my joys and thee ? 3 Blest are the souls that find a place Within the temple of thy grace ; There they behold thy gentler rays, And seek thy face, and learn thy praise. WORSHIP AND PRAISE. 4 Blest are the men whose hearts are set To find the way to Zion's gate : God is their strength ; and through the road They lean upon their helper, God. 5 Cheerful they walk, with growing strength, Till all shall meet in heaven at length ; Till all before thy face appear. And join in nobler worship there. 11. H. M. Watts. Longing for the Hoicse of God, 1 LORD of the worlds above, How pleasant and how fair The dwelhngs of thy love, Thine earthly temples, are I To thine abode I With warm desires, My heart aspires, I To see my God. 2 0, happy souls, who pray Where God appoints to hear ! 0, happy men, who pay Their constant service there ! They praise thee still ; I Who love the way And happy they I To Zion's hill. 3 They go from strength to strength, Through tliis dark vale of tears, Till each arrives at length. Till each in heaven appears : O glorious seat, I Shall thither bring When God, our King, I Our willing feet! 12. CM. Watts. God present in the Sanctuary* 1 MY soul, how lovely is the place To which thy God resorts ! 'Tis heaven to see his smihng face, Though in his earthly courts. 2 There the great Monarch of the skies His saving power displays ; 7 WORSHIP AND PRAISE. And light breaks in upon our eyes With kind and quickening rays. 3 With his rich gifts the heavenly Dove Descends and fills the place, While Christ reveals his wondrous love, And sheds abroad his grace. 4 There, mighty God, thy words declare The secrets of thy will ; And still we seek thy mercy there, And sing thy praises stiU. 5 Lord, at thy threshold I would wait, While Jesus is within, Rather than fill a throne of state. Or live in tents of sin. 13. C. M. Watts. Delight in Worship, 1 I LOVE to see the Lord below; His church displays his grace ; But upper worlds his glory know. And view him face to face. 2 I love to worship at his feet, Though sin annoy me there ; But saints, exalted near his seat, Have no assaults to fear. 3 I love to meet him in his court. And taste his heavenly love ; But stiU his visits seem too short. Or I too soon remove. 4 He shines, and I am all delight; He hides, and all is pain ; When will he fix me in his sight. And ne'er depart again ? 5 O Lord, I love thy service now ; Thy church displays thy power , But soon in heaven I hope to bow. And praise thee evermore. 14. WORSHIF AND PRAISE. C. M. WlULlAMS, Devotion* 1 WHILE thee I seek, protecting Power, Be my vain .wishes stilled ; And may this consecrated hour With better hopes be filled. 2 Thy love the power of thought bestowed ; To thee my thoughts would soar ; Thy mercy o'er my hfe has flowed ; That mercy I adore. 3 In each event of life, how clear Thy ruling hand I see ! Each blessing to my soul more dear, Because conferred by thee. 4 In every joy that crowns my days, In every pain I bear. My heart shall find delight in praise, Or seek relief in prayer. 5 When gladness wings my favored hour, Thy love my thoughts shall fill ; Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower, My soul shall meet thy will. 6 My lifted eye, without a tear, The gathering storm shall see ; My steadfast heart shall know no fear ; That heart shall rest on thee. xO • *^^' Montgomery. Prayer for a Blessing on Public Worship, 1 TO thy temple we repair ; Lord, we love to worship there ; There, within the veil, we meet Christ upon the mercy seat. 2 While thy glorious name is sung. Tune our hps, inspire our tongue ;, Then our joyful souls shall bless Christ, the Lord our Righteousness. WORSHIP AND PRAISE. 3 While to thee our prayers ascend, Let thine ear in love attend ; Hear us when thy Spirit pleads ; Hear, for Jesus intercedes. 4 While thy word is heafd with awe, While we tremble at thy law, Let thy gospeFs wondrous love Every doubt and fear remove. 5 From thy house when we return, Let our hearts withm us bum ; Then, at evening, we may say, " We have walked with God to-day." 16. L- M. PlERPONT. Worship acceptable from every Place * ^ O THOU, to whom, in ancient time, The lyre of Hebrew bards was strung, Whom kings adored in songs sublime. And prophets praised with glowing tongue, - 2 Not now on Zion's height alone Thy favored worshipper may dwell, Nor where, at sultry noon, thy Son Sat, weary, by the patriarch's weU. 3 From every place below the skies. The grateful song, the fervent prayer, The incense of the heart, may rise To heaven, and find acceptance there. 4 O Thou, to whom, in ancient time, The lyre of prophet bards was strung. To thee, at last, in every clime. Shall temples rise and praise be sung. 17. L. M. Watts.

S. M. KTaylob. Invitation to the House of God, 1 COME to the house of prayer, O thou afflicted, come ; The God of peace shall meet thee there ; He makes that house his home. 2 Come to the house of praise. Ye who are happy now ; In sweet accord your voices raise. In kindred homage bow. 3 Ye aged, hither come, For ye have felt his love ; Soon shall your trembling tongues be dumb, Your lips forget to move. 4 Ye young, before his throne. Come, bow ; your voices raise ; Let not your hearts his praise disown Who gives the power to praise. 5 Thou, whose benignant eye In mercy looks on all, — Who seest the tear of misery, And hear'st the mourner's call, — 11 WORSHIP AND PRAISE. 6 Up to thy dwelling-place Bear our frail spirits on, Till they outstrip time's tardy pace, And heaven on earth be won. 19.

L. M. WATT8. Delight in Worship* 1 LOKD, how delightful 'tis to see A whole assembly worship thee ! At once they sing, at once they pray ; They hear of heaven, and leam the way. 2 I have been there, and still would go ; 'Tis like the dawn of heaven below ; Not all that careless sinners say Shall tempt me to forget this day. 3 O, write upon my memory, Lord, The truths and precepts of thy word, That I may break thy laws no more, But love thee better than before. 4 With thoughts of Christ, and things divine, Fill up this foolish heart of mine ; That, finding pardon through his blood, I may Me down, and wake with God. 22. C. M. MMON. The Blessedness of the Devout, 1 HOW lovely are thy dwellings. Lord, From noise and trouble free !

He gave his people rest. 3 Oft he forgave their sins, Nor would destroy their race ; And oft he made his vengeance known, When they abused his grace. 4 Exalt the Lord our God, Whose grace is still the same : Still he's a God of holiness, And jealous for his name. 2* 17 -- WOKSHIP AND PRAISE. 31.

And fills our hope with heavenly food. 6 He sees th' oppressor and oppressed, And often gives the sufferers rest ; But will his justice more display In the great, last, rewarding day. 7 His power he showed by Moses' hands, And gave 1o Israel his commands : But sent his truth and mercy down, To all the nations, by his Son. 8 Let the whole earth his power confess ; Let the whole earth adore his grace : The Gentile with the Jew shall join In work and worship so divine. 18 32.

How great thy grace to me ! My life, which thou hast made thy care, Lord, I devote to thee. 4 Now I am thine — forever thine, Nor shall my purpose move ; Thy hand has loosed my bonds of pain, And bound me with thy love. 5 Here, in thy courts, I leave my vow, And thy rich grace record ; Witness, ye saints, who liear me now, If I forsake the Lord. 33.

To tell how calm, how blest, shall be The endless day of heaven above. 88. C. M. WArrs. Anticipating Worship* 1 LORD, in the morning thou shalt hear My voice ascending high ; 47 THE SABBATH. To thee will I direct my prayer, To thee lift up mine eye ; — 2 Up to the hills where Christ is gone To plead for all his saints, Presenting at his Father's throne Our songs and our complaints. 3 Thou art a God before whose sight The wicked shall not stand ; Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight, Nor dwell at thy right hand. 4 But to thy house will I resort, To taste thy mercies there ; I will frequent thine holy court, And worship in thy fear. 5 0, may thy Spirit guide my feet In ways of righteousness, Make every path of duty straight And plain before my face. 89. L. M. RAr^L^f. The Hour of Prayer, 1 BLEST hour, when mortal man retires To hold communion with his God, To send to heaven his warm desires, And listen to the sacred word. 2 Blest hour, when earthly cares resign Their empire o'er his anxious breast, While, all around, the calm divine Proclaims the holy day of rest. 3 Blest hour, when God himself draws nigh, Well pleased his people's voice to hear. To hush the penitential sigh, And wipe away the mourner's tear. 4 Blest hour ! for, where the Lord resorts. Foretastes of future bliss are given, And mortals find his earthly courts The house of God, the gate of heaven. 48 THE SABBATH. 90 • 8s & 7s. (Peculiar.) Carmina Saoba.

Where resounds salvation's story. Fraught with peace to sinful man : 0, how soon earth's night retreated ! 0, how soon sweet hope we greeted, When thy word its course began ! C. M.

And reign sole Monarch in my breast. 3 O, bid this trifling world retire, And drive each carnal thought away ; Nor let me feel one vain desire.

How deep his counsels, how divine ! 4 And I shall share a glorious part, "When grace hath well refined my heart, And fresh supplies of joy are shed, Like holy oil, to cheer my head. 6 Then shall I see, and hear, and know, All I desired or wished below ; And every power find sweet employ In that eternal world of joy. y4:.

When the spirit rests from sin. 4 Still the Spirit lingers near. Where the evening worshipper 5* . 63 THE SABBATH.

And strike the gazing sight, Through skies, and seas, and solid ground, With terror and delight. 4 Almighty power and equal skill Shine through the worlds abroad, Our souls with vast amazement fill, And speak the Builder, God. 5 But still, the wonders of thy grace Our warmer "passions move ; Pity divine in Jesus' face I We see, adore, and love. 80 CREATION AND PROVIDENCE. 144. ^' M.

That is not sent by God. 3 There's not a place in earth's vast roi J, In ocean deep, or air, Where skill and wisdom are not foura ; For God is every where. 4 Around, beneath, below,. above, Wherever space extends, There Heaven displays its boundless love, And power with goodness blends. 145. L. M. WATm The Creation and Dissokdion of the World, 1 SING to the Lord, who built the skies, The Lord, who reared this stately frame ; Let all the nations sound his praise. And lands unknown repeat his name. 2 He formed the seas, and formed the hills, Made every drop and every dust. Nature and time, with all their wheels, And put them into motion first. 3 Now from his high imperial throne He looks far down upon the spheres ; He bids the shining orbs roU on, And round he turns the hasty years. 4 Thus shall this moving engine last, Till all his saints are gathered in ; Then for the trumpet's dreadful blast, To shake it all to dust again ! 81 CREATION AND PROVIDENCE. 5 Yet when the sound shall tear the skies, And lightning bum the globe below, Saints, you may lift your joyful eyes ; There's a new heaven and e^h for you. 146.

Lord, 'tis thy work — I own thy hand That built my humble clay. 2 My flesh with fear and wonder stands, The product of thy skill ; And hourly blessings from thy hands Thy thoughts of love reveal. 3 And when I count thy mercies o'er, They fill me with surprise ; Not all the sands that spread the shore To equal numbers rise. 4 These on my heart by night I keep ; How kind, how dear to me ! O, may the hour that ends my sleep Still find my thoughts with thee ! 149. L. M. Watts.

And flourish bright and gay^ A blasting wind sweeps o'er the land, And fades the grass away. 3 Our life contains a thousand springs. And dies if one be gone ; Strange that a harp of thousand strings Should keep in tune so long ! 4 But 'tis our God supports our frame. The God who built us first ; Salvation to th' almighty name. That reared us from the dust. 5 While we have breath, or use our tongues, Our Maker we'll adore ; His Spirit moves our heaving lungs. Or they would breathe no more. 152. S. M. Watts.

Where'er I turn mine eye ! If I survey the ground I tread, • Or gaze upon the sky ! 5 There's not a plant or flower below But makes thy glories known ; And clouds arise, and tempests blow.

Affront thy law, and spurn thy grace. 4 Not so may our forgetful hearts O'erlook the tokens of thy care ; But what thy liberal hand imparts Still own in praise, still ask in prayer. 5 So shall our suns more grateful shine.

Unfolding every hour CREATION AND PROVIDENCE, The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain ; God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.

How little do I Imow of thee, Or of the joys above ! 4 Though but in part I know thy will, I bless thee for the sight : ^ When will thy love the whole reveal In glory's clearer light ? 5 In rapture shall I then survey Thy providence and grace. And spend an everlasting day ^ ^ In wonder, love, and praise. 158. L. M. Watts. The Darkness of Providence. 1 LORD, we adore thy vast designs, Th' obscure abyss of providence.

And saves me from the threatening storm. 3 High o'er the earth his mercy reigns, And reaches to the utmost sky ; His truth to endless years remains, When lower worlds dissolve and die. 4 Be thou exalted, O my God, Above the heavens where angels dwell ; Thy power on earth be known abroad. And land to land thy wonders tell. 160. C. M. Hekve? Confidence in God's Government* 1 SINCE all the varying scenes of time God's watchful eye surveys, O, who so wise to choose our lot.

And on the eyes oppressed with night To pour celestial day. 4 He comes, the broken heart to bind, The bleeding soul to cure. And, with the treasures of his grace, Enrich the humble poor. 5 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, Thy welcome shall proclaim, And heaven's eternal arches ring With thy beloved name. 107 CHEIST. 189. 8S, 6, & 5s.
