THE NEW PI LGRIM H YMNAL The especial purpose of the New Pilgrim Hymnal is to supply a collection of hymns and tunes by which adequate expression is given to the religious spirit of our own day. The following approximate analysis will show in some measure the nature and contents of the book: 200 at least of the hymns may be classified as belonging to the old standard list, such as "Come Thou Almighty King," "Lord of all Being, Throned Afar," "Come Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove," "Joy to the World, the Lord is Come," "Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me," etc. With these hymns are connected the old familiar tunes, Italian Hymn, Louvan, Arlington, Antioch, Toplady, etc. 200 and more are later hymns which are now familiar, associated, many of them, with English tunes, such as "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty" (Nicsea), "When Morning Gilds the Skies" (Laudes Domini), "Beneath the Cross of Jesus" (St. Christopher), "Crown Him with Many Crowns" (Diademata), etc. 150 are less familiar old hymns and tunes, hymns by such authors as James Russell Lowell, Thomas Hughes, Anne Bronte, F, L. Hosmer, John G. Whittier, Samuel Longfellow, etc.; beautiful hymns to which a hearty welcome will be given. 150 more hymns or tunes are new to our hymn-books, by authors like Maltbie Babcock, Oscar E. Maurer, Isaac Ogden Rankin, Felix Adler, George T. Coster, and others; and in addition to these may be noted many instances in which new tunes are provided for some of the older hymns where the old tunes or favorites are also retained. The Pilgrim Hymnal is superior to all other books in its admirable section of Responsive Readings and Other Aids to Worship The responsive readings are topically arranged with great care and skill. The principles of parallelism are finely maintained, so that the responses seem perfectly natural. No readings are chosen which are not adapted to this use. At the same time, by choice of lyric passages from the Prophets and other parts of the Scripture, greater variety is presented than in collections which are confined to the Psalms. There are twenty-three selections from Isaiah, three from Proverbs, four from Job, two from Hosea, one from Jeremiah and thirteen from the New Testament. FOR THE ENRICHMENT OF WORSHIP, there are collected, also, a number of passages to be used as Unison Confessions. There are five pages of brief prayers, adapted to various parts of the service. There are four pages of sentences that may be used at the beginning, for the offer- tory, or at the close of the service, and there is a model Order of Worship. Indexes are abundantly supplied to both the Hymn-Book and the Responsive Readings, and an unusually thorough cross-reference topical index.

And to the weary rest. 3 Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King, My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring. 4 Weak is the effort of my heart. And cold my warmest thought. But when I see thee as thou art, I'll praise thee as I ought. 5 Till then I would thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath ; And may the music of thy name Refresh my soul in death.

D 2 He hath sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before his judgment seat : O, be swift, my soul, to answer him ! be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on. 3 In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born, across the sea, With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me : As he died to make men holy, let us live to make men free, While God is marching on.

Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: Praise him in the heights. Praise ye him, all his angels: Praise ye him, all his host. Praise ye him, sun and moon : Praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise him, ye heavens of heavens. And ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the Lord: For he commanded, and they were created. He hath also established them for ever and ever: He hath made a decree which shall not pass away. Praise the Lord from the earth, — Ye dragons and all deeps: Fire and hail, snow and vapor; Stormy wind fulfilling his word: Mountains and all hills; Fruitful trees and all cedars: Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and flying fowl : Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth: Both young men and maidens; Old men and children: Let them praise the name of the Lord : For his name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven. Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation. Let the saints exult in glory: Let the high praises of God be in their mouth. Praise ye the Lord. Responsive Readings SECOND READING Man Frail^ God Eternal Psalms 39. 102 LORD, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how frail I am. My days are like a shadow that declineth; And I am withered like grass. But thou, O Lord, dost abide for ever; Thy years are throughout all generations. Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; As a vesture shalt thou change them, And they shall be changed. But thou art the same, And thy years shall have no end. Behold, thou hast made my days as hand-breadths; And my lifetime is as nothing before thee. Surely man, at his best estate, is but a breath: Surely he goeth about in a vain show; He disquieteth himself in vain: He heapeth up, and knoweth not who shall gather. And now. Lord, what wait 1 for? My hope is in thee. O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days. When thou with rebukes dost chasten man for sin. Thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth. Surely man is but a breath. Hear my prayer, O Lord, And give ear unto my cry: Consider and answer me, O Lord my God : Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death : For I am but a guest with thee, A sojourner, as all my fathers were. O spare me, that I may recover strength, Before I go hence, and be no more. Responsive Readings THIRD READING The Starry Heavens and the Moral Law Psalm 19 ^ I '*HE heavens declare the glory of God; -^ And the firmament showeth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night showeth knowledge. There is no speech nor language; Their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber} And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course. His going forth is from the end of the heavens, And his circuit unto the ends of it; And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold. Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey And the droppings of the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: In keeping them there is great reward. Who can discern his errors? Clear thou me from hidden faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me: Then shall I be upright. And I shall be clear from great transgressions. Let the words of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my rock, and my redeemer.

Thou searchest out my path and my lying down. And art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue. But, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, And laid thy hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall 1 go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there. If 1 take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea: Even there shall thy hand lead me. And thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me. And the light about me shall be night; Even the darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to thee. For thou didst create mine inmost being. And knit me together ere I was born. My frame was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret : Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance: And in thy book were written all my days yet to be. I will give thanks unto thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works, and that my soul knoweth right well. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: When I awake, I am still with thee. Search me, O God, and know my heart : Try me, and know my thoughts And see if there be any wicked way in me. And lead me in the way everlasting.

My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God : When shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, — How I went with the throng, and led them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for 1 shall yet praise him For the help of his countenance. O my God, my soul is cast down within me. Deep calleth unto deep in the sound of thy waterfloods: All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime; And in the night his song shall be with me, Even a prayer unto the God of my life. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, Who is the help of my countenance, and my God. Judge me, O God, and plead my cause; O deliver me, For thou art the God of my strength. O send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me: Let them bring me unto thy holy hill. And to thy tabernacles. Then will 1 go unto the altar of God, Unto God my exceeding joy; And upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for 1 shall yet praise him. Who is the help of my countenance, and my God.

Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; For they have been ever of old. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me, For thy goodness' sake, O Lord. Good and upright is the Lord: Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way. The meek will he guide in justice ; And the meek will he teach his way. All the paths of the Lord are kindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. For thy name's sake, O Lord, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great. What man is he that feareth the Lord? Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease ; And his seed shall inherit the land. The friendship of the Lord is with them that fear him; And he will show them his covenant. Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; For he will pluck my feet out of the net. Consider mine affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins. Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake: In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble. O keep my soul, and deliver me: Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me. For I wait for thee. Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; For in thee do I trust: Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; For I lift up my soul unto thee.

And done that which is evil in thy sight. That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest. And be clear when thou judgest. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; In the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom. Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness, That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence ; And take not thy holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto thee. O Lord, open thou my lips; And my mouth shall show forth thy praise. For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile. As long as 1 kept silent my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long: For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me ; My moisture was changed into the drought of summer. I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide : I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach unto him. Thou art my hiding place, thou wilt preserve me from trouble. Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Hearken unto me, saith the Lord, and 1 will instruct thee. And teach thee in the way which thou shalt go. I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.

For he said. Surely they are my people, Children that will not deal falsely. I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely. I will be as the dew unto Israel : He shall blossom as the lily : And send forth his roots as Lebanon; His branches shall spread: And his beauty shall be as the olive tree, And his smell as Lebanon. They shall return and dwell in his shadow; They shall revive as the grain. And blossom as the vine, And be fragrant as the wine of Lebanon. So he was their Saviour, In all their affliction he was afflicted. And the angel of his presence saved them: In his love and his pity he redeemed them; And he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. Who is wise that he may understand these things, Prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of the Lord are right. And the righteous shall walk in them; But transgressors shall stumble therein. Come and let us return unto the Lord, For he hath torn, that he may heal us; He hath wounded, that he may bind us up, After two days will he revive us On the third day he will raise us up, That we may live in his presence. Let us know, let us follow on to know the Lord; As soon as we seek him, we shall find him: His going forth is sure as the morning; And he will come unto us as the rain. As the latter rain that watereth the earth.

For 1 have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord: Wherefore turn yourselves and live. For 1 know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, Thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end. And ye shall call upon me, and 1 will hearken unto you. Ye shall seek me and find me, When ye shall search for me with all your heart. I have formed thee, thou art my servant: Thou shalt not be forgotten of me : Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Return unto me for 1 have redeemed thee: I have blotted out as a thick cloud thy transgressions, And as a cloud thy sins. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is none else. I have satiated the weary soul, And every sorrowful soul have I replenished. And this is the covenant that 1 will make with my people, saith the Lord: I will put my law in their inward parts. And in their heart will 1 write it; And I will be their God, and they shall be my people; And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor. And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; For they shall all know me. From the least of them even unto the greatest ; For I will forgive their iniquities, And their sin will I remember no more. Who is a God like unto thee, O God, that pardoneth iniquity; And passeth over the transgression of thy heritage? He retaineth not his anger for ever; Because he delighteth in lovingkindness. He will again have compassion upon us, He will tread our iniquities under foot. Yea thou wilt cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.

Seek ye the Lord while he may be found; Call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way. And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; And to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts. Neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth. So are my ways higher than your ways. And my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven, And returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, And maketh it bring forth and bud. And give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, — So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth; It shall not return unto me void. But it shall accomplish that which I please. And it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace: The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

For he needed to be made like his brethren in all things. That he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the things pertaining unto God. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succor them that are tempted. Though he was a Son, yet he learned obedience by the things which he suflPered: And being made perfect, he became unto all who obey him the author of eternal salvation. Having, then, a great high priest who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, Let us hold fast our confession. For we have not a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities. But one who hath been tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin. Let us then draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, With a true heart and in fullness of faith, That we may receive mercy. And find grace to help us in time of need; For he is able to save to the uttermost those that draw near to God through him. Seeing that he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Because he abideth for ever, he hath his priesthood unchangeable: Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, to-day and for ever. Through him let us offer continually to God a sacrifice of praise. That is the fruit of our lips confessing his name. And to do good and to communicate forget not. For with such sacrifices God is well pleased. Now THE God of peace, who brought again from the dead Our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep. Make us perfect in every good work to do his will. Working in us that which is well-pleasing in his sight. Through Jesus Christ; To whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen. Prayers The Lord' 5 Prayer OUR Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on 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, for ever. Amen. ALMIGHTY God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid; cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy name; through Christ our Lord. Amen. O ALMIGHTY God, from whom cometh down every good and perfect gift, and who pourest out on all who desire it the Spirit of grace and supplication; deliver us, when we draw nigh unto thee, from coldness of heart and wanderings of mind; that with steadfast thoughts and kindled affections we may worship thee in spirit and in truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who art always more ready to hear than we to pray, and art wont to give more than either we desire or deserve; pour down upon us the abundance of thy mercy, forgiving us those things whereof our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things which we are not worthy to ask, but through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord. Amen. OGOD, light of the hearts that see thee, and life of the souls that love thee, and strength of the thoughts that seek thee; from whom to be turned away is to fall, to whom to be turned is to rise, and in whom to abide is to stand fast forever; grant us now thy grace and blessing as we are here assem- bled to offer up our common, supplications; and though we are unworthy to approach thee, or to ask anything of thee at all, be pleased to hear and to answer us, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. LORD our God, great, eternal, wonderful in glory, who keepest covenant and promises for those that love thee with their whole heart; who art the life of all, the help of those that flee unto thee, the hope of those who cry unto thee; cleanse us from our sins secret and open, and from every thought displeasing to thy goodness; cleanse our bodies and souls, our hearts and consciences, that with a pure heart and a clear soul, with perfect love and calm hope, we may venture confidently and fearlessly to pray unto thee. Amen.

THE NEW PILGRIM HYMNAL has been thoroughly revise-' in the light of nine years' practical use. Hymns and tunes that failed of popular approval have been omitted, and a large number of familiar hymns not included in the old book for want of space are now included. It contains many new hymns whose acceptability, after careful testing, is assured, giving in all an increase of 120 hymns, yet owing to the superior quality of paper used in its production, the new 1 ■ 1 "" ■■ one-fourth less than the old book. THE NEW PILGRIM HYMNAL was prepared with the express desire that our Congregational churches might have one common manual of worship on which all could unite. It is, therefore ection of hymns, not a collection, representing a wide consensus ui upiuion from every part of our country, seconded by careful study and discrimina- tion on the part of a strong advisory group as to what hymns and tun^-^ were actually used and adapted to the main services of our Congrc. tional churches.
