BOSTON: PUBLISHED BY GOULD AND LINCOLN, 59 WASHTNGTON STREET, ADVERTISEMENT. ^Dr. \V;^tts is universally ackiiowledired to stand unrivalled in Sacied Toetry. Most rcniarka- oiy qualified by the great Head of the Church for tlie service of presenting a volume of " Psalms, Hymns, and ^^piritual Sonjis," in compositions adapted for public worship, Christians in both the eastern and western hemispheres have not only souphl iiis work as an auxiliary to social and private devotions, but introduced it with surprising unanimity for public worship. No individ- •lal, it is generally allowed, lias so perfectly preserved in verse, the pure genius of the Dible, or «o closely imitated its doctrine and precept, as Waits. 'J"o have attained this elevation, he must have iiartaken, in large measure, of the grace of the Holy Spirit,--an unction from above. Per- haps no other volume of sacred verse has received so copious a blessing from God, in enlight- ening awakened sinners and quickening the devotions of believers. His near imitation of the Hilile has commanded a high degree of respect, which it is very undesirable to diminish. To perpetuate the use of his book may be one liappy means of preserving in the Cliurches, and extending through the world, an animating view of the grace and glory of the gospel. As Christians generally are familiar with Watts, and as pious families practise reading the hymns foredilication as well as for worship, tiie omission of the few which are not adapted to sing- ing, would be generally regretted. If it be not commonly appropriate to sing llip divine judg- ments, yet it must be awakening attentively to |)eruse a description of them. The attempts which have been made to abridge and alter the hymns of Dr. Watts, have not hitherto met with public approbation. This evinces their high character and excellence. And it is believed to be most judicious to j)reserve his work entire, and leave those n ho conduct public worship to judge \\hat iiymns are most ap|)ropriate, ai;d also to select from the longer hymns tlje verses best suited to the occasion. The want of a diversity of hymns, on subjects not c(mtaincd in lyr. Watts, ha.s called forth several collections in England, as supplements. Dr. Rippoii published one for the Baptist Churches, and Burder, Dohell, and others, for the Independent Churches. They expressed the highest veneration for Watts's Hymns, and have manifested a solicitude to perpetuate their use by the supplements they liave furnished. The late esteemed pastor of the First Baptist Church in Boston, Rev. James M. Winchell, performed this welcome service for the Baptist Churches in the United States, by selecting three hundred hymns, ."ifter the lapse of several years, it has been judged expedient to er.Jarge his Supplejuent by an addition of two hundred hymns, which is now effected witliout advancing the price. In this addition, the prominent objects have been, to increase the numbt-r of hymns on l\Iissionary Subjects, to furnish a greater variety of Particular ISIetres, to embody many elevated hymns of modern date, and to multiply short liymns to be sung at intervals in Prayer and Conference Meetings, and at the close of worchip. Winchell's Watts has already obtained very general approbation ; and as it preserves to our churches Dr. Watts's Psalms and Hymns EffTiRE and UNALTERED, with a Supplement of more than five hundred hymns, the wliole com- prising more than twelve hundred .sacred compositions, conveniently bound in one volume, it will undoubtedly be found so complete, as to meet the wishes of Christians generally, and become the standard work in our churches. Indeed, the Supplement alone now furnishes a copious variety for public worship. It being desirable that the additional hymns should be generally short, many of them consist of a selection of verses from distinguished compositions ; and the expressions have been varied, whenever it was deemed expedient. The additional hymns are placed at the end of the Supplement, that the present edition may occasion no derangement in t.'ie use of former edi- tions. Such congregations, however, as pr»*fer using tlit'in immedialel-y, can procure the addi- tional hymns bv the nuantitv at a very trifling cost. Aug. ltf3-2 " THE PUBLISHERS.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS TO T H <) S K WHO USE THIS ARRANGEMENT The first number is the number of the Arrangement, opposite to which is the number of the Psahn or Hymn in the common edition of Watts. Thus, l()9 of the Arrangement is the lG9th page; and the 94th Hymn, 2d Boole, C. M. in Watts ; St Ann's and Abridge, the names of tunes in which it may be sung. The sharp ?? is added to denote the key, and to assist in the selection of other appropriate tunes. Jl Psalm or Hymn suited to a particular subject may he found 1. By the table of the first lines, if the first line be recollected, the number op- posite to each Psalm and Hymn referring to the number of the Arrangement. 2. By the tables of Psalms and Hymns following the Preface, if the number of the Psalm or^Hymn in the common edi- tions be recollected. Thus, The 84th Psalm, 1st Part, h. M. is 402 of the Arrangement. The 63d Hymn, 1st Book, is 158th of tlie Arrangement. .3. By referring to the Index of Sub- jects, or the Syllabus of the Arrangement, when neither the number nor the first I'ine is recollected. The numbers in the Index of Scrip- tures refer to the Psalms and Hymns in the Arrangement, founded upon the pas- sages to which they are opposite. Thus, Genesis, 1st.. ..58, that is, page 58 of the Arrangement, contains the Hymn found- ed on that passage of Scripture. The Psalms and Hymns on the " Per- fections of God," on the " Doctrines of the Gospel," and on the " Graces of tho Holy Spirit," follow the alphabetical order of the subjects on which they are written. Particular Directions to Ministers and others who take the lead in public or family worship. 1. In giving out a Psalm or Hymn Avhere the Arrangement is used exclu- sively, it M'ill be necessary to mention the number of the Arrangement only. 2. Where the common editions of Watts are principally used, the number of the Arrangement may be omitted. 3. Where the Arrangement and the common editions are used promiscuous- ly, it will be necessary to m.ention the numbers of both in the follov*'ing order. 139th Psalm, 1st Part L. M. being the 40t.h of the Arrangement. 35th Hymn, 2d Book, C. AI. is 2lSth of the Arrangement. By a careful observance of the above Directions, all confusion or inconven- ience in tlie use of Uiis Arrangement will be avoided. PREFACE The Psalms and Hymns of the Rev. Dr. Watts are so generally esteemed, and so extensively circulated, that any apology is deemed unneces- sary for this aUe'mpt to facilitate the use of them Owing to their promiscuous position in the common editions, and also to the extreme defi- ciency of the Indexes, the use of them luis long been attended with many inconveniences, espe- cially to those leading in public worship. These inconveniences have suggested to many persons tlie propriety of an arrangement of the whole into distinctsections or chapters, according to the different subjects of which they treat, interpers- ing the Psalms and Hymns in one book. Such an arrangement was successfully attempted, some years since, by the Rev. Dr. Rippon, of London ; which met with so great encouragement, as to require fotir editions in the short space of four years, Frwu his labours, it is just to acknowl- edge, much assistance has been derived in pre- paring tliis American edition. Dr. Watts himself seems to have justified the principle of an arrangement, by following it in several instances. He has judiciously placed to- gether in one book the Hymns on the Lord's Sup- per ; the advantage of which is repeatedly experi- f need at the administration of that ordinance. He )>as also placed together the Hymns on Solomon's Songs ; tlie songs to the Blessed Trinity; and the Hosannas to Christ. But, if there be any advan- tage in having these Hymns arranged under their respective heads, still greater advantage, it is tliought, must be derived from having llm ichole thus arranged. It is even conjectured, by many, that Dr. Watts would have followed this plan throughout, had it early enough occurred to him, and had he pub- lished the several parts of his book at the same time. "For," as Dr. Rippon has justly observed. " to have been consistent with himself, he should liave distributed the whole work into sections, or none of it ; but, by setting the example in several chapters, it is presumed he has sanctioned the analysis of every part of the work." With regard to the interspersion of the Psalms among the Hymns, it is only necessary to observe, that this has been done already, to a considerable extent, by Dr. Watts himself. It will be per- ceived by any one, who will consult the titles of the lirst and second books of Hymns, that there arc, among tiiem, more pieces composed from the Book of Psalms, than there are either from the Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke or John, or f(om the important Epistle to the Hebrews. The interspersion, therefore, of the whole cannot be considered a just cause of complaint ; especially when the u.^c of the whole is thereby made easy : for, by a glance of the eye, all the Psalms or Ilymns on a particular subject may be immediate- ,y perceived. It may not be improper to observe here, that great care has been taken to preserve the Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts entire ; at the same time, by a careful compaiison of the best editions, both European and American, not a few of the typo- graphical errors, and other alterations, which have been accumulating for years, have been cor rected. It ought also to be distinctly noticed, that the number of each Psalmand Hymn in the ci'mmnn editions is preserved in a conspicuous piai e in this ; so that, by referring to the Directions, and the Tables of Numbers wliicii follow this I'relhce, no inconvenience will be occasioned by iJie promiscuous use of this with the old editi«">ns of Watts. The tunes named over each Psalm and Hymn are such as have received the approbatiiui of sonie of the best judges of music. For the stieciion of them, the subscriber acknowledges himself chiefly indebted to Mr. Jonathan Huntington, a teacher of music, who cheerfully undertook tlie task, at the request of the Standing Committee ol the Handel and Haydn Society in this town. The advantages which Ministers and private Christians may derive from this Arrangement, and especially from the enlarged Indexes both of subjects and scriptures, which are attached to it, will, it is thought, best recommend it. It is not presumed to be perfect, though it is hoped no errors of magnitude have crept into it. Such as it is, it is humbly commended to the candour of an enlightened Christian public ; and especially to the blessing of Him, who is " fearful in praises," with a fervent desire that it may be instrumeHtal in promoting the interests of piety, and the cause of sacred devotion. Boston, JVovembery 1818. The number of Ilymns in the Selection has been limited to a little over three hundred, for the purpose of rendering it convenient to binJ them in the same volume with the Psalms and Ilymns of Dr. Watts, to which they are designed as a Supplement. In one respect, at least, it is thou^iht this Selec- tion will be preferable to any now m circulation. It contains the whole of the Sacred Poetry of Dr. Watts, comprising nearly eighty Hymns from the pen of that "sweet singer in Israel," adap- ted to the purposes of devotion and praise, not found in the common editions. A primary object, after giving the whole of Dr. Watts, has been to select the best Hymns on sub- jects which he had omitted : and the compiler flatters himself that this work, containing as it does MORE THAN A THOUSAND Psalms and Hymns, of approved excellence, will furnish the churches of Christ with a supply of sacred po- etry better suited to all subjects and occasions than any heretofore published ; while, by throw- ing the whole into one volume, the price is re- duced, and the confusion arising from the use of two hooks avoided. May the great Head of the Church bless this liumble eflbrt to promote His glory and the beau- ty of Christian worship. JAMES M. WINCIIELL. J Boston, Jifav, 1819 TABLE OF THE PSALMS. NOTE.
