SOLD BY ALL BOOKSELLERS. PREFACE. It is necessary that I should inform my readers, that they are not to expect in this book an exact translation of the Psalms of David. My design is, to accom- modate the Book of Psalms to Christian worship. And in order to this, it is necessary to divest David and Asap*h, &c, of every other character but that of a psalmist and a saint, and to make them always speak the common sense and language of a Christian. Attempting the work with this view, I have entirely omitted several whole Psalms, and large pieces of many others ; and have chosen out of all of them such parts only as might easily and naturally be accommodated to the various occasions j of the Christian life, or at least might afford us some beautiful allusion to Christian ' affairs. These I have copied and explained in the general style of the gospel ; nor J have I confined my expressions to any particular party or* opinion ; that in words ! prepared for public worship, and for the lips of multitudes, there might not be a ! syllable offensive to sincere Christians, whose judgments may differ in the lesser matters of religion. "Where the Psalmist uses sharp invectives against his personal enemies, I have endeavoured to turn the edge of them against our spiritual adversaries — sin, Satan, and temptation. Where the flights of his faith and love are sublime, I have often sunk the expressions within the reach of an ordinary Christian. Where the words imply some peculiar wants or distresses, joys or blessings, I have used words of greater latitude and comprehension, suited to the general circumstances pf men. i Where the original runs in the form of prophecy concerning Christ and his sal- tation, I have given an historical turn to the sense ; there is no necessity that we i should always sing in the obscure and doubtful style of prediction, when the things bretold are brought into open light by a full accomplishment. Where the writers if the New Testament have cited or alluded to any part of the Psalms, I have often ndulged the liberty of paraphrase, according to the words of Christ or his apostles. i.nd surely this may be esteemed the word of God still, though borrowed from everal parts of the Holy Scripture. Where the Psalmist describes religion by the jar of God, I have often joined faith and love to it. Where he speaks of the IV PREFACE. pardon of sin, through the mercies of God, I have added the merits of a Saviou Winn- In- talk> of Merifldag goats or bullocks, I rather choose to mention tl sacrifice of rhri9t, the Lamb of God. When he attends the ark with shouting in Ziun. 1 sing tin- HMcnsinii of my Saviour into heaven, or his presence in his chun on earth WhflSB In- promises abundance of wealth, honour, and long life, I ha- changed some of these typical blessings for grace, glory, and life eternal, which a brought to light by the gospel, and promised in the New Testament. And I a fully satisfied, that more honour is done to our blessed Saviour, by speaking I name, his graces, and actions, in his own language, according to the brighter di coveries he hath now made, than by going back again to the Jewish forms worship, and the language of types and figures. If any shall think it best to sing the Psalms in order in churches or families, may be done with profit, provided those Psalms be omitted that refer to speci occurrences of nations, churches, or single Christians. If the Psalm be too long for the time or custom ot singing, there are pauses many of them at which you may properly rest ; or you may leave out those vers which are included within crotchets, [ J, without disturbing the sense ; or in son places you may begin to sing at the pause. — Extract from the Doctor's Pre/ai dated Dec. \$t, 1718.

I Way and end of the righteous and wicked. BLESS'D is the man who shuns the Where sinners love to meet; [place Who fears to tread their wicked ways. And hates the scoffer's seat. ! But in the statutes of the Lord Has placed his chief delight ; Bv dav he reads or hears the word, "And meditates by night. I [He, like a plant of generous kind, Bv living waters set, ! Sate from the storms and blasting wind, i Enjoys a peaceful state.] i Green as the leaf, and ever fair, Shall his profession shine; While fruits of holiness appear Like clusters on the vine. ! Sinners in judgment shall not stand Amonsst the sons of grace, When Christ the Judge at his right hand Appoints his saints a place. 7 His eye beholds the path they tread, His heart approves it well; But crooked wavs of sinners lead Down to the gates of hell. "I S. M. Plymouth, 336. *■ The sai?it happy, the sinner miserable. THE man is ever hless'd Who shuns the sinners' ways, Among their counsels never stands, Nor takes the scorner's place ; 2 But makes the law of God His study and delight, Amidst the labours of the day, And watches of the night. J He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root ; Fresh as the leaf his name shall live, His works are heavenly fruit. Not so the ungodly race. Thev no such blessings find : Their hopes shall fiee like empty chaff Before the driving wind, i How will they bear to stand Before that judgment seat, Where all the saints at Christ's right In full assembly meet ? [hand > He knows and he approves The way the righteous go ; But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overthrow. 1 L. M. Melcombe, 325. ■*■ Difference between the righteous and wicked. 1 TTAPPY the man whose cautious feet 11 Shun the broad way that sinners go, Who hates the place where atheists meet, And fears to talk as scoffers do. 2 He loves t' employ his morning light Amongst the statutes of the Lord ; And spends the wakeful hours of night With pleasure, pondering o'er the word. 3 He, like a plant by gentle streams, Shall flourish in immortal green ; And heaven will shine w irh kindest beams On every work his hands begin. 4 But sinners find their counsels cross'd : As chaff before the tempest flies, So shall their hopes be blown and lost When the last trumpet shakes the skies, 5 In vain the rebel seeks to stand In judgment with the pious race ; The dreadful Judge, with stern command. Divides him to a different place. 6 'Straight is the way my saints have trod, I hless'd the path," and drew it plain: But you would choose the crooked road, And "down it leads to endless pain.' 9 S.

Up from my youth I bore the rage Of all the sons of strife ; Oft they assail'd my riper age, But riot destroy'd my life. Their cruel plough had torn my flesh, With furrows long and deep ; Hourly they vex'd my wounds afresh, Nor let my sorrows sleep. The Lord grew angry on his throne, And with impartial eye Measured the mischiefs' they had done, Then let his arrows fly. How was their insolence surprised, To hear his thunders roll ; And all the foes of Zion seized With horror to the soul ! Thus shall the men that hate the saints Be blasted from the sky ; Their glory fades, their courage faints, And all their projects die.

Free to dispense thy pardons there, That sinners may approach thy face, And hope and love as well as fear. 3 As the benighted pilgrims wait, And long and wish for breaking day, So waits my soul before thy gate ; When will my God his face display? 4 My trust is fix'd upon thy word, Nor shall I trust thy word in vain : Let mourning souls address the Lord, And find relief from all their pain. 5 Great is his love, and large his grace, Through the redemption of his Son ; He turns our feet from sinful ways.

To him also, even to the Lamb that was slain, and now lives, lave addressed many a song ; for thus doth the holy Scripture instruct and teach orship, in the various short patterns of Christian psalmody described in the ivelation. I have avoided the more obscure and controverted points of Chris- nity, that we might all obey the direction of the word of God, and sing his uses with understanding, Psalm xlvii. 7. The contentions and distinguishing ■rds of sects and parties are excluded, that whole assemblies might assist at the rmony, and different churches join in the same worship without offence. If any expressions occur to the reader, that savour of an opinion different from J own, yet he may observe, these are generally such as are capable of an exten- e sense, and may be used with a charitable latitude. I think it is most agree - ,e, that what is provided for public singing, should give to sincere consciences little disturbance as possible. However, where any unpleasing word is found, that leads the worship may substitute a better ; for (blessed be God) we are not lfined to the words of any man in our public solemnities. The whole is divided into three books. n the first, I have borrowed the sense, and much of the form of the song, from ne particular portions of Scripture, and have paraphrased most of the doxologies in : New Testament that contain any thing in them peculiarly evangelical ; and many :ts of the Old Testament also, that have a reference to the times of the Messiah, these I expect to be often censured for a too religious observance of the words Scripture, whereby the verse is weakened and debased, according to the judgment the critics : but as my whole design was to aid the devotion of Christians, so ■re especially in this part : and I am satisfied I shall hereby attain two ends, ., assist the worship of all serious minds, to whom the expressions of Scripture ever dear and delightful ; and gratify the taste and inclination of those who nk nothing must be sung unto God but the translations of his own word. Yet i will always find in this paraphrase dark expressions enlightened, and the vitical ceremonies and Hebrew forms of speech changed into the worship of the spel, and explained in the language of our time and nation ; and what would bear such an alteration is omitted and laid aside. ^he second part consists of hymns, whose form is of mere human composure ; I hope the sense and materials will always appear divine. I might have ught some text or other, and applied it to the margin of every verse, if this thod had been as useful as it was easy. If there be any poems in the book that capable of giving delight to persons of a more refined taste and polite education, haps they may be found in this part ; but except they lay aside the humour criticism, and enter into a devout frame, every ode here already despairs of 91 THE PREFACE. pleating. I confeti myself to have been too often tempted away from the more spiritual designs I proposed, by some gay and flowery expressions that gratified the fancy ; the brig el prevailed above the lire of divine affection; and the light exceeded the heat : yet. I hdpe, in many of them the reader will find that devotion dictated the son;.', and the head and hand were nothing but inter- taiiea to the heart; nor is the magnificence or bold: omparable to that divine licence which is found in the eighteenth and sixty-eighth Psalms, several chapters of Job, and other poetical parts of Scripture: and in this respect I may hope to escape the reproof of those who pay a sacred reverence to the Holy Bible. 1 have prepared the third part only for the celebration of the Lord's Supper, that, in imitation of our blessed Saviour, we might sing a hymn after we had par- taken of the bread and wine. Here you will find some paraphrases of Scripture, and some other compositions. There are above a hundred hymns, in the twe former parts, that may very properly be used in this ordinance, and sometimes, perhaps, appear more suitable than any of these last ; but there are i generally used in these, which confine them only to the table of the Lord; and therefore 1 have distinguished and set them by themselves. If the Lord, who inhabits the praises of Israel, shall refuse to smile upon thi« attempt for the reformation of psalmody among the churches, yet 1 humbly hopt that li is blessed Spirit will make these composures useful to private Christians; ind if they may but attain the honourof being esteemed pious meditations. toaaahi the devout ami the retired soul in the exercises of love, faith, and joy, it will be i valuable compensation of my labours ; my heart shall rejoice at the notice of it, anc my God shall receive the glory. This was my hope and vow in the first publication, and it is now my duty to acknowledge to him with thankfulness, how useful H has made these compositions already to the comfort and edification of societie: and of private persons ; and upon the same grounds I have a better project, anr a bigger hope of much more service to the church, by the large improvements o this edition, if the Lord who dwells in Zion shall favour it with his continues blessing. Note. In all the longer hymns, and in some of the shorter, there are severa stanzas included in crotches thus, [ ] : which stanzas may be left out in singing without disturbing the sense. In the early copies of these Hymns there were several founded on passages ir the Psalms. When the author published his " Imitation of the Psalms of David.' lie extracted these from his Hymn-book, and inserted them in their proper placet in that volume. This occasioned several vacancies, as it was judged expedient t< retain the original cumbers of the remaining Hymns, in the subsequent editions for the convenience of those who were possessed of the former ones. The vacaneio referred to are in Pook I. N ft, -ii. H, 4G. 47. Al Of which are in this edition supplied, by the insertion of Hymns coin, lame author, and printed at the end of his •'Sermons on various sub.'. and Moral." It is presumed this undertaking (which has often bean will be generally received as a valuable improvement, especially as tin videiit want of Hymns on the more practical subjects of Christianity, to which thi principal of these relate.

And every tear be dry. 173 24—28 DOXOLOGIES. innot persuade myself to put a full period to these Divine Hymns, till I have addressed a spe- cial song of glory to God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Though the Latin name of it, Gloria Patri, be retained in our nation from the Roman church ; and though there may be some excesses of superstitious honour paid to' the words of it, which may have wrought some unhappy pre- judices in weaker Christians, yet I believe it still to be one of the noblest parts of Christian wor- ship. The subject of it is the doctrine of the Trinity, which is that peculiar glory of the divine nature, that our Lord Jesus Christ has so clearly revealed unto men, and is so necessary to true Christianity. The action is praise, which is one of the most complete and exalted parts of Christian worship. I have added also a few Hosannas, or ascriptions of salvation to Christ, in the same manner and for the same end. O/? L.M. Coombs, 45.

SELECTION OF HYMNS, FROM THE BEST AUTHORS, INCLUDING A GREAT NUMBER OF ORIGINALS ; INTENDED TO BE AN APPENDIX TO DR. WATTS'S PSALMS & HYMNS. BY JOHN RIPPON, D.D. CONTAINING OT tl)t axfttttonal fining, AiTH ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED, NOW FIRST ADDED, IN ALL UPWARDS OP ELEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY HYMNS, IN ONE HUNDRED METRES, WITH COPIOUS INDICES, INCLUDING AN INDEX OF THE FIRST LINE OF EVERY VERSE. LONDON: WILLIAM WHITTEMOR E, PATERNOSTER-ROW. PREFACE. This Selection of Hymns has, for upwards of half a century, had a very extended circulation. Since it was first published, in 1787, successive additions have been made to it, greatly increasing its usefulness and acceptability. Notwithstanding the number of Hymns added to former editions, the churches and congregations using " The Selection" needed a still farther increase of Hymns, for the varied circumstances of Public, Social, Family, and Private Worship. To meet to some considerable extent this demand, in addition to the incorporation of former improvements, the present edition is enriched by nearly Four Hundred additional Hymns, which have been interspersed throughout the volume, under the several general divisions of subjects, as parts under the number affixed to the former Hymns, it being considered inexpedient to make any alteration in the num- bering. The greater portion of those now added have been inserted in the latter sec- tions of the volume, particularly under the following heads : — Before and After Ser- mon,— the Ordinances, — Missionary and Church Meetings, — Domestic and Parental Piety, — Maternal Associations, — the Young,— the Aged, — Affliction, — Death and Funeral Occasions, — the Second Coming of Christ, — the Day of Judgment, — Heaven, &c. ; upon which subjects it is impossible to have too many good Hymns. It may not be too much to say, in reference to this large number of additional Hymns, that for their scriptural sentiment, poetic excellence, elevated piety, devo- tional tendency, metrical variety, general appropriateness, and practical utility, they will not suffer by comparison with any similar number of Hymns published. They do honour to the volume in which they are incorporated, and to the age we live in ; and to their authors the churches of Christ are under unspeakable obligation. Indeed, it is hardly possible to attach too much importance to this department of Christian literature. The Hymn Book, as an eminent writer* most truly and eloquently remarks, " claims and commands access to the closet and the sanctuary, and is even admitted to companionship with the volume of inspiration. It is the chief mean and channel of the church's praise — it is the settled expression of her views of gospel doc- trine — it is the regulated utterance of her experience of the power of truth — it is the mirror of her moral likeness— it is her poetical liturgy, and it enters essentially into all her spiritual exercises and enjoyments." With these, and the following remarks of the same writer, the Editor of the present work most fully sympathizes : " Such considerations surround the enterprise with awe, and fill the mind of an editor with reverence. He feels that he is engaged in i * Dr. Campbell. I work— he considers that he is forming an instrument for the sublimit and • of purport— he knows that it« utility depends upon the Divine approbation, I -twill approve and bless It only Insofar as it is the faithful |« of his own wort, and in full harmony with his own woTd." I ippon's Selection has long been all that baa been so well stated in the above I javagraph. The present edition rests its claims to the continued support of the and congregations upon the following grounds :— fti .jiijntHMlrrrrr comprising as it does, not less than Eleven Hr»- avv Fortt Hymns, exclusive of the - Sacred Melodies," which form a 4 supplement to the work, and are, a. is there stated, intended only for use. • 'ess important and sacred, which it U hoped will profit the wml, while they please and gTatify a poetical and musical ta«te. It, metrical rar«Wv, which, as singing classes are now being generally formed, tot the purpose of improving the character of congregational singing, will be found of all serrice in supplying appropriate words to almost every tune which has found a place m the several published collections of Congregational Psalmody. This volume, as the Index of Metres show,, contains Hymns in aw»ut Owe HuvoatD die* tat** "^Facility of reference, it having, besides an Analysis of Contents and most co- I and carefully collated Indices of the F.rst Lines of Hymns— of Metres—of Sub- and of Scripture Texts-*l.o an Index of the First Umtofwwmwt Verte. which •flection ao extensive as the preaent, will be a great convenience to those upon ■ N devolves to select and r«ad the Hymns in public worship, as well as to those ,ther in the sanctuary or in private, may wish to find a Hymn of which (key v a partial recollection. -ring the vast quantity of matter it contains, is without *& it, the hymnology of the Christian church.

Let all mankind their tribute bring ; All that have breath, your voices raise, In songs of never-ceasing praise. 2 The spacious earth on which we tread, And wider heavens stretch'd o'er our head, A large and solemn temple frame To celebrate its Builder's fame. 3 Here the bright sun, that rules the day, As through the sky he makes his way, To all the world proclaims aloud The boundless sovereignty of God. 4 When from his courts the sun retires, And with the day his voice expires, The moon and stars adopt the song, And thro' the night the praise prolong. 5 The listening earth with rapture hears The harmonious music of the spheres ; And all her tribes the notes repeat, That God is wise, and good, and great. 6 But man, endow'd with nobler powers, His God in nobler strains adores : His is the gift to know the song, As well as sing with tuneful tongue. 0 L. M. Old Hundredth, 100. ^ The unity of God. Deut. iv. 4. 1 TjiTERNAL God! Almighty cause Ju Of earth, and seas, and worlds un- known ; All things are subject to thy laws, All things depend on thee alone. 2 Thy glorious Being singly stands, Of all within itself possest, Controll'd by none are thy commands, Thou from thyself alone art blest. 3 To thee alone ourselves we owe; Let heaven and earth due homage pay ; All other gods we disavow, Deny their claims, renounce their sway. 4 Spread thy great name through hea- then lands ; Their idol deities dethrone; Reduce the world to thy command ; And reign, as thou art/God alone. 0 L.M.

To what in heaven, to what on earth, Can men th' immortal King compare'.' 4 Let stupid heathens frame their gods Of gold and silver, wood and stone, Ours is the God that made the heavens ; Jehovah he, and God alone. 5 My soul, thy purest homage pay, In truth and spirit him adore ; More shall this please than sacrifice, Than outward forms delight him more. a L.M.

Steele. 1 T ORD, thou hast been thy children's i-i God, All-powerful, wise, and good, and just, In every age their safe abode, Their hope, their refuge, and their trust. 2 Before thy word gave nature birth, Or spread the starry heavens abroad, Or form'd the varied face of earth, From everlasting thou art God. 3 Great Father of eternity, How short are ages \\\ thy sight ! A thousand years, how swift they fly, Like one short silent watch of night ! 4 Uncertain life, how soon it flies ! Dream of an hour, how short our bloom ; Like spring's gay verdure now we rise, Cut down ere night to fill the tomb. 5 Teach us to count our short'ning days. And, with true diligence, apply Our hearts to wisdom's sacred ways, That we may learn to live and die. 6 O make our sacred pleasures rise In sweet proportion to our pains; Till e'en the sad remembrance dies, Nor one uneasy thought complains.

Which for the church of God remains.

' He the door hath open'd wide ; I He hath given the word of grace, Jesu's word is glorified: I Jesus, mighty to redeem, | He alone the work hath wrought ; Worthy is the work of Him, — Him who spake a world from nought, !4 Saw ye not the cloud arise, Little as a human hand ? j Now it spreads along the skies, ; Hangs o'er all the thirsty land : Lo, the promise of a shower I Drops already from above ; I But the Lord will shortly pour AH the Spirit of his love. 131 ons. 420,421 A t\ I Part I.

Jesus, the life of both our joys, Sounds sweet from even- string. 5 [Hark, how beyond the narrow bound Of time and space they run; And echo in majestic sounds The Godhead of the Son. 6 And now they sink the lofty tune, And gentler notes they play; And bring the Father's Equal down, To dwell in humble clay. 7 O sacred beauties of the Man ! The God resides within:) His flesh all pure without a stain, His soul without a sin. 8 But when to Calvary they turn, Silent their harps abide; Suspended sonas. a moment mourn The God that loved and died. 9 Then, all at once, to living strains They summon every chord, Tell how he triumph'd o'er his pains, ' And chant the rising Lord.] 10 Now let me mount and join their song, And be an angel too ; My heart, my ear, my hand, my tongue, - Here 's joyful work for you. 11 I would begin the music here, And so my soul should rise : O for some heavenly notes to bear My passions to the skies ! 12 There ve that love my Saviour sit, There I would fain have place, Among your thrones or at your feet, So I might see his face. 580— ")95 SHORT HYMNS & SINGLE VERSES. 589 590 BEFORE SERMOX. 1.7.8.8.
