BEQUEATHED BY HIM TO THE LIBRARY OF PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY lection H THE Hymnal of the Reformed Church in the United States. fi j&eleetoeg @f Hymns - and i unes for -^ CHRISTIAN WORSHIP.^- Prepared by a Committee appointed by the; general synod. Praise ye the Lord, Praise God in His Sanctuary: CLEVELAND O. : Publishing House of the Reformed Church, 1134—1138 Pearl Street. Copyright 1890 By the General Synod of the Reformed Church in the United States. PREFACE. The Committee, to whom was intrusted the work of preparing a Hymnal for the use of "The Reformed Church in the United States", has endeavored faithfully to abide by the instructions given at the time of its appointment at the meeting of the General Synod at Akron, Ohio, June 1887, viz: "To prepare such a Collection as may, in the judgment of the committee, be best adapted to the needs of the Reformed Church in the United States." In now presenting to the Church the results of its long and arduous labors, the committee desires, first of all, to return most devout thanks to the great Head of the Church for His most gracious guidance and help, and to pray that this Collection of hymns of praise may, for many years to come, redound to His increasing glory in the service of the Sanct- uary ; and furthermore to express the hope that this Hymnal may prove to be truly suited to the needs of the people of the Reformed Church, and be abundantly blessed to their spiritual edification and profit. To choose from the vast amount of material at hand, and to decide what hymns should be admitted to the Collection and what excluded, has been no easy task. On a careful examination, however, it will be found that very few, if any, of the good old hymns, endeared to our people from long usage, have been omitted ; while on the other hand the claims of the more valuable amongst the modern and popular compositions have by no means been disregarded. In preparing this Collection, the aim has been not only to choose the best hymns, but also to select the best music available (some of it at a very considerable cost for copyright privileges), and furthermore so to adapt the tunes to the words as at once to gratify a cultivated literary and musical taste, and to insure the hearty enjoyment of the people. Of necessity by far the larger number of tunes are old. They have been so long in use, and are so enshrined in the best affections of God's people that to omit them would have been a serious offense. At the same time, also, much of the music will be found to be new. A vast number of so-called "popular tunes", whose favor is as surprising as it is ephemeral, have been studiously avoided ; but those tunes of a more recent composi- m tion which appear to possess permanent and intrinsic value, have been as carefully admitted. It is now the pleasant duty of the Committee to acknowledge the uni- form courtesy and kindness of many brethren in the ministry, and amongst the laity of the Church, during the preparation of this work? and more particularly to express their obligation' to the following persons — To Mr. H. T. Buckley, organist of Third Street Reformed Church, Easton, Pa.: to Mrs H. M. Kieffer, of Easton, Pa.: and to Miss Lizzie May Fitz, of Martinsburg, West Va., for valuable assistance in the mu- sical part of the work. To Bishop J. H. Vincent ; to Miss Alice Nevin ; to Dr. E. P. Parker ; to Professors J. H. Kurzenknabe, E. C. Zartman, Fred. Schilling and Ira D. Sankey for special privileges in the use of tunes of their composition. To the following musical composers and publishers for permission to use tunes of their composition or ownership — Oliver Ditson & Co., Big- low & Main, John Church & Co., Mrs. Sarah N. Holbrook, Mrs. Lizzie Tourgee Estabrook, Mr. U. C. Burnap, Mr. Theo. E. Perkins, Mr. John R. Sweney, Mr. Wm. G. Fischer ; also to The Publication Board of the Reformed Church for permission to use the hymns composed by the Rev. Dr. E. E. Higbee and the Rev. Dr. E. H. Eevin, and for all music selected from "Tunes for Worship" by Prof. Henry Schwing. And finally to Prof. Henry Schwing both for permission to use music of his composition, and for his valued services in editing the musical part of this collection. May this Hymnal commend itself to the people of the Reformed Church in the United States. May it soon become the one book of praise in common use throughout all sections of the Church. And may God abundantly bless it to His service for many years to come. H. M. Kieffer, J. A. HOFFHEINS, John M. Schick, H. H. W. HlBSHMAN.

Let every heart prepare a throne, And every voice a song. 2 On Him the Spirit largely poured, Exerts His sacred fire ; Wisdom and might, and zeal and love, His holy breast inspire. 3 He comes, the prisoners to release, In Satan's bondage held ; The gates of brass before Him burst, The iron fetters } T ield. 4 He comes, from thickest films of vice To clear the mental ray, And on the eye-balls of the blind To pour celestial day. 5 He comes, the broken heart to bind, The bleeding soul to cure ; And with the treasures of His grace T' enrich the humble poor. 6 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, Thy welcome shall proclaim ; And heav'n's eternal arches ring With Thy beloved name.

Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gold would His favor secure: Richer, by far, is the heart's adoration ; Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us Thine aid ; Star of the east, the ^horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

Latin Hymn Translation Compiled. 86 1 Thou, who gav'st Thy servant grace On Thee the living rock to rest, To look on Thine unveiled face, And lean on Thy protecting breast; 2 Grant us, King of mercy, still To feel Thy presence from above, And in Thy word and in Thy will To hear Thy voice and know Thy love; 3 And when the toils of life are done, And nature waits Thy just decree,, To find our rest beneath Thy throne, And look in certain hope to Thee.

Latin Hymn. Translation Compiled. 129 1 Through Israel's coasts, in times of old, When Thou didst dwell with men below, By signs and wonders manifold Thou didst, O Lord, Thy glory show. 2 But not alone Thy mighty power Shone forth from every wondrous sign : Day unto day, and hour to hour, Spoke forth thy love and grace divine. 3 And now Thou reignest, Lord, above, We none the less Thy wonders trace : Unwearied are Thy calls of love, Unspent Thy miracles of grace. 4 Thou who didst make the water wine, Our earthly with Thy heavenly fill : Our scant obedience change to Thine, Our passions to Thy blessed will. Henry Al/ord. 130 1 On Tabors top the Saviour stands, His altered face resplendent shines And while He elevates His hands, Lo ! gloiy marks its gentle lines ! 2 Two heavenly forms descend to wait Upon their suffering Prince below ; But while they worship at His feet, They talk of fast approaching woe. 3 Amid the lustre of the scene, To Calvary He turns His eyes, And with submission, all serene, He marks the future tempest rise. 4 Then let us climb the mount of prayer, Where all His beaming glories shine, And gazing on His brightness there, Our woes forget in jO} r s divine. 5 Oh, that on yonder heavenly hills, Where now the risen Saviour stands, And peace, like softest dew, distils— I too may elevate my hands.

Still let me trust Thy power and love And dwell beneath Thy feet. 198 1 Prostrate, dear Jesus, at Thy feet A guilty rebel lies; And upward to Thy mercy-seat Presumes to lift his eyes. 2 If tears of sorrow would suffice To pay the debt I owe, Tears should from both my weeping eyes In ceaseless torrents flow. 3 But no such sacrifice I plead To expiate my guilt; Notears,butthosewhichThouhastshed, No blood, but Thou hast spilt. 4 Think of Thy sorrows, dearest Lord! And all my sins forgive : Justice w T ill well approve the word That bids the sinner live. Samuel Stennett, 1787. 199 1 Blest Jesus! when my soaring thoughts O'er all Thy graces rove, How is my soul in transport lost, — In wonder, joy, and love! 2 Not softest strains can charm my ears, Like Thy beloved name; Nor aught beneath the skies inspire My heart with equal flame. 3 Where'er I look, my wondering eyes Unnumbered blessings see; But what is life, with all its bliss, If once compared with Thee? 4 Hast Thou a rival in my breast? Search, Lord, for Thou canst tell If aught can raise my passions thus, Or please my soul so well. 5 No: Thou art precious to my heart, My portion and my joy: For ever let Thy boundless grace My sweetest thoughts employ.

Shed upon us heav'nly grace, Rain and dew and streams of glory From the brightness of Thy face, That we, with our hearts in heaven, Here on earth may fruitful be, And by angel hands be gathered, And be ever, Lord, with Thee. Christopher Wordsworth. 266 Alleluia, sing to Jesus, His the sceptre, His the throne; Alleluia, His the triumph, His the victory alone; Hark the songs of peaceful Zion Thunder like a mighty flood; Jesus out of every nation Hath redeemed us by His blood.

Our wants and weaknesses he knows, From life's first dawning till its close. 2 Do sickness, feebleness or pain Or sorrow in our path appear, The recollection will remain, More deeply did He suffer here: His life, how truly sad and brief, Filled up with suffering and with grief! 3 If Satan tempt our hearts to stray, And whisper evil things within, So did he in the desert way Assail our Lord with thoughts of sin, When worn and in a feeble hour The tempter came with all his power. 4 Just such as I, this earth He trod, With every human ill but sin; And though indeed the Son of God, As I am now, so He has been. My God, my Saviour, look on me With pity, love and sympathy.

And some have lost the love they had. 4 And some have found the world is vain, Yet from the world they break not free ; And some have friends who give them pain; Yet have not sought a friend in Thee. 5 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest, For none are wholly free from sin ; And they, who fain would love Thee best, Are conscious most of wrong within. 6 O Saviour Christ, Thou too art Man, Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried ; Thy kind but searching glance can scan The very wounds that shame would hide. 7 Thy touch has still its ancient power ; No word from Thee can fruitless fall ; Hear in this solemn evening hour, And in Thy mercy heal us all.

"Fear ye not," he said; "for cheerful Are the tidings that I bring, Unto you, so weak and fearful, Christ is born, the Lord and King.' As the angel told the story Of the Saviour's lowly birth, Multitudes were singing "Glory Be to God, and peace on earth!" Since Thy love for our salvation, Saviour, covered Thee with shame, Let Thy Church, in every nation, Sing the glory of Thy Name; Let Thy Holy Spirit make us Full of humbleness and love, Like Thyself, until Thou take us To our Father's house above.
