WATTS'S PSALMS § HYMNS, BY JOHN JDOBELL. NONE BUT CHRIST. MORRISTOJVN....N J. .- PUBLISHED BY PETER A. JfirfiTNSON., Jacob Mann. Printer. N/ i8i5. ( . 0ECiTTi4 V PREFACE. i f HILE so many volumes of hymns, both original and s lected, are constantly issuing from the press it •seems almost presumption to expect that this will be noticed. Every man, however, has his peculiar taste ; this selection of hymns, together with their arrange- ment, will be suited to this teste; and consequently there is room to hope, that others may find iu these a suitableness to their views, dispositions, and experi- ence, which they have Bought in vain from other se- lections, which, too, have their appropriate excellen- cies. Under this impression, I have ventured to soli- cit public attention. It is almost universally admitted that Dr. Walls's Psalms and Hj mns possess an excellency and variety "which place him far beyond any single author ; and, in my humble opiniou, they are of such sterling worth, that no selection, however excellent, should supercede the use ol them. It is, however, as generally admit- ted, that there are many subjects for which Doctor Watts has provided no hymns. To see this deficiency supplied amongst poado baptist churches, ha? been the desire of many ministers and private christians ; and to effect this is the principal, though not the only end of this small volume. The hymns here presented to the public, I have collected from more than two hundred authors; many of them are tnken from manuscripts, which I deemed too valuable to be suffered to remain in obscurity; IV PREFACE. and some have been supplied by friends. As this work has been the labor of years, and the choice of many thousand hymns, it will, I trust, give satisfac- tion to the church o! God. Though 1 have, of course, the sentiments peculiar to that denomination of chris- tians with which providence has placed me ; yet I am not without hopes that a selection from the best au- thors io these United Kingdoms and America, will meet with general approbation. This work, like Doctor Watts' s fourth book, is arranged in an alphabetical order. Each new subject begins with, L. M.. C. M.H S. M., &c. The first alpha- betical order contains the Perfections of God ; the second, the Characters and Titles of Christ; the third, the General Subjects. I have endeavored to ascertain the author of every hymn. In some cases my inquiries have been fruitless, and [ have consequently said, Anon, {anonymous.) Those verses which may, for the sake of brevity, be omitted, without destroying the unity and connection of the hymn, are included io crotchets. [] The lines or verses marked with single inverted commas, are those which I have deemed necessary to add. for the sake of giving a fulness or expression lo the whole. The occasional alterations which will be observed in some hymns, are not, of course, intended to lessen their excellency, but to suit them to a particular sub- ject for which they were not originally designed; or to give a greater smoothness to the versification, Af- ter all, I am ready to acknowledge that many of the verses are rather rlupnethzn potry ; and, while they deprecate the severity of criticism, must rest their chums to regard on their sentiment and spirit. They "Will, as *'ar as I can MiHjje be found full of the doc- trines of grace, and the experience of those to whom PREFACE. V Cfarrist, in all his Characters, Offices, and Relations, is precious. In these superior excellencies, this edi- tion is. I hope, equal to a;;} that has yet appeared; and will, with Doctor Watts' s P.-a'ms and Hymns, in four boots, be sufficient lor an) church of Christ, in any circumstances, and on aii subjects. The subjects io (his volume, which are various, arc adapted to console the saint and awaken the sinner — are suited equally for the public worship of God, the closet, and the family. And, as siugiug io? families is an uncommon, though necessary part of worship, I embrace this opportunity of presenting to the reader the words of an old writer: — •• As the increase or de- ca;> of christian piety is generally accompanied with the use or neglect of family worship, so the duty is mere or less defective as singing in families is more or less used If christians would but consider the great necessity and usefulness of this duty, and the decay of religion and piety that attends the neglect of it : and if they had a due regard to their own souls, the good of mankind, and the glory of God, surely they could not make so light of it. 1 wish that all who make a profession of religion would more seri- ou h consider the happiness that results from it. The closet is a sweet employment, but we should not, by a:;v means, cai worship and singing to be neglected thereby. Why should we be ashamed to let our neighbours know that w6 owned and praised God in our families as well as iu our churches ? The fear of being thought singular appears io be one great cause of this neglect. If those persons would consider how great a Benefactor Almighty God is to them, they would find no reasonable plea for the neglect of it. Let every one consider that the most ready and effectual means to make it universal is, for every A 2 VI PREFACE. family to begin. So let our light shine that others also may glorify our Father which is in heaven. I appeal to any religious person, whether they have not been much affected when (as they occasionally walked the streets) they have heard a family thus employed. The occasion of the Jailor's conversion, was by the sing- in"; of Paul and Silas; and we know not how many persons may be converted by our practising this duty; and this I may say, that it is a very ready way to discountenance profane songs, and to promote religion. O that it could be said of us, as it was of the primi- tive christians, who, instead of profane songs, used nothing but spiritual and divine hymns; so that, fas St. Jerom relates of the place where he lived,) you could not go into the field, but you might hear the ploughman at his hallelujah*, the mower at his hymns, •and the vine dresser singing David's Psalms." I deem it unnecessary to make any apology for taking many of the following hymns from authors who differ in doctrinal sentiments from myself, and the churches with which I am connected. The hymns, themselves, superior in their kind, and on subjects in which all real christians agree, must and will be their own apology. Committing all my imperfect, but well meant labors, to the blessing of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, whose honor alone has, 1 trust, been my mo- tive for engaging in them, and to the candor of the christian church, I remain with unceasing affection, to all that love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity, their brother and servant, for Jesus' sake.
