OUR idea is to put in small space, with comfortable type, the old and new hyinns which are so "catch- ing" that a congregation cannot help but sing. Not more than one out of four church-goers sings, and he who does sing is apt to do it with his mouth half shut, as though to keep his soul from escaping with the utter- ance. We do not print the music with the words, because the vast majority of people in church never look at the music even when it is printed. Besides that, nearly all the tunes we sing are familiar, and we need no guide- board on a road we have all our lives been travelling. If there be any one who does not know " Toplady " and " Antioch," we defy all the music books of the world to teach him. When we want to employ " new tunes " we will learn them in the congregational singing-school, an indispensable institution. The "notes" are indis- pensable for schools where the art is to be learned ; but if in church one cannot follow a tune except by poising himself, on minims or semi-quavers, there will not be much devotion in what he sings. It makes us nervous to have a man sitting next to us in church who sings by note when he does not know how. Instead of mounting heavenward on the five-runged ladder of the musical staff, he is all the time afraid of falling off. We do not come to church to study music, but to worship God. INTRODUCTION. We also want a cheap book, so that if there be ten members of a family, there can be ten copies in a pew, that number costing no more than one copy of the ordinarily expensive Church Hymn Book. We hear on all sides a demand for such a publication and to supply that, while at the same time we gratify our own congregation, we send this unpretending volume forth with the prayer, "Let every thing .that hath breath praise the Lord ! " T. DE WITT TALMAGE. Brooklyn, Feb. 22, 1374. •+•+- THESE two hundred choice hymns, which are enough to last any congregation for a long time, are arranged in alphabetical order. This affords much greater conve- nience for finding them, than if arranged according to their subjects. An ample Index of Subjects is at the end of the book, as well as an Index, of First Lines. On page 2 will be found an Index of Sped" I Tunet adapted to the hymns of irregular metre. This fur- nishes every needed facility for the use of all those hymns. The other hymns can be sung to well-known tunes, concerning which no particular direction is needed. Compilers of other hymn books are reminded that many of the hymns in this book are copyright property, which must not be taken without consent of the pub- lishers. A. T. 4 ^tabernacle €\)ovm. *+♦ 1 S. M. Watch.— Matt. 25. 13. A CHARGE to keep I have, A God to glorify ; A never-dying soul to save, And lit it for the sky. 2 To serve the present age, My calling to fulfil, 0, may it all my powers engage To do my Master's will 3 Arm me with jealous care, As in thy sight to live ; And 0, thy servant, Lord, prepare A strict account to givo. 4c Help me to watch and pray, And on thyself rely, Assured, if I my trust betray, I shall forever die. 2 CM. Christ died for our sins.— 1 Cor. 15. 3. ALAS! and did my Saviour bleed! And did my Sov'reign die ! Would he devote that sacred head For such a worm as I ? 5 Kabernacle (El)orns. 2 Was it for crimes that I have done, lie groaned upon the tree? Amazing pityl grace unknown 1 And love beyond degree ! 3 "Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut his glories in ; When Christ, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While his dear cross appears : Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe ; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do. 3 CM. God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able.— 1 Cor. 10. 13. ALAS ! what hourly dangers rise, What snares beset my way ; To heaven, let me lift mine eyes, And hourly watch and pray. 2 Whene'er temptations frig lit my heart, Or lure my leet aside, My God, thy powerful aid impart, My Guardian and my Guide. 3 keep me in thy heavenly way, And bid the tempter lice ; And let me never, never stray, From happiness and thee. 6 (Jabsrnade (£l)otns. 4 CM. King of kings, and Lord of lords.— Rev. 19. 16, ALL hail the power of Jesus' name 1 Let angels prostrate fall ; Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown him Lord of all. 2 Ye chosen seed of Israel's race, Ye ransomed from the fall, Hail him, who saves you by his grace, And crown him Lord of all. 3 Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget The wormwood and the gall, Go, spread your trophies at his feet, And crown him Lord of all. 4 Let every kindred, every tribe, On this terrestrial ball, To him all majesty ascribe, And crown him Lord of all. 5 that with yonder sacred throng, We at his feet may fall ; We '11 join the everlasting song, And crown him Lord of all. 5 CM. Being justified freely by his grace. — Romans 3. 24. AMAZING- grace ! how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me ! 1 once was lost, but now am found : Was blind, but now I see. 2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved: How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed! T ©abernacle CDjorus. 3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares 1 have already come : 'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. 4 And when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the vail, A life of joy and peace. 6 CM. Fight the good fight of faith.— 1 Tim. 6. 12. AM I a soldier of the cross, A foil' wer of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own his cause, Or blush to speak his name ? 2 Must I be carried to the skies, On flowery beds of ease ? While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas ? 3 Are there no foes for me to face ? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace. To help me on to G-od ? 4 Sure, I must fight, if I W9uld reign:- Increase my courage, Lord ! I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by the word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die ; They see the triumph from afar, Bv faith they bring it nigh. 8 ®abernacle (Eljorns. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thine armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be thine. 7 s. M. We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ Komans 14. 10. AND will the Judge descend? And must the dead arise? And not a single soul escape His all-discerning eyes ? 2 How will my heart endure The terrors of that day, When earth and heaven before his face Astonished shrink away? 3 But ere the trumpet shakes The mansions of the dead, Hark ! from the Gospel's cheering sound, What joyful tidings spread. 4 Ye sinners, seek his grace, Whose wrath ye cannot bear ; Fly to the shelter of his cross, And find salvation there. 8 CM. O God, hear the prayer of thy servant.— Dan. 9. 17. APPROACH, my soul, the mercy-seat, Where Jesus answers prayer; There humbly fall before his feet, For none can perish there. ®aberi7arlc ffitjotns. 2 Thy promise is my only plea ; With this I venture nigh ; Thou callest burdened souls to thee, And such, Lord, am I. 3 Bow'd down beneath a load of sin, By Satan sorely press'd, By war without, and fear within, I come to thee for rest. 4 Be thou my shield and hiding-place ; That, shelter'd near thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, And tell him, Thou hast died. 5 0, wondrous love ! to bleed and die, To bear the cross and shame, That guilty sinners, such as I, Might plead thy gracious Name ! 9 H.

ARISE, my soul, arise ; Shake off thy guilty fears ; The bleeding sacrifice In my behalf appears ; Before the throne my surety stands : My name is written on his hands. 2 He ever lives above, For me to intercede, His all-redeeming love, His precious blood to plead ; His blood atoned for all our race, And sprinkles now the throne of grace. 10 (Eaberwule (Kljorus. 3 My God is reconciled ; His pardoning voice I hear; He owns me for his child — I can no longer fear ; His Spirit answers to the blood, And tells me I am born of God 10 L.M. Awake, awake ; put on strength, arm of the Lord. — Isaiaii 51. 9. ARM of the Lord, awake, awake, Put on thy strength, the nations shake. And let the world, adoring, see Triumphs of mercy wrought by thee. 2 Say to the heathen, from thy throne, U I am Jehovah — God alone:" Thy voice their idols shall confound, And cast their altars to the ground. 3 No more let human blood be spilt, Yain sacrifice for human guilt ; But to each conscience be applied The blood that flowed from Jesus' side. 4 Almighty God, thy grace proclaim, In every land declare thy name, Let adverse powers before thee fall, And crown the Saviour — Lord of all. 11 S.M. They sing the song- of Moses the servant of God, and the song- of the Lamb. — Rev. 15. 3. AWAKE, and sing the song Of Moses and the Lamb ; "Wake every heart and every tongue ! To praise the Saviour's name. 11 Qabtrmtk fflljorns. 2 Sing of his dying love : Sing of his rising power ; Sing — how he intercedes above For those whose sins he bore. 3 Ye pilgrims ! on the road To Zion's city, sing ! Rejoice ye in the Lamb of God,— In Christ, the eternal King. 4 Soon shall we hear him say, — " Ye blessed children ! come;" Soon will he call us hence away, And take his wanderers home. 5 There shall each raptured tongue His endless praise proclaim ; And sweeter voices tune the song Of Moses and the Lamb. 12 L.M. I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning. Psa. 59. 16. AWAKE, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily course of duty run ; Shake off dull sloth, and early rise To pay thy morning sacrifice. 2 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart. And with the angels bear thy part; Who all night long unwearied sing, "Glory to thee, eternal King." 3 Glory to thee, who safe hast kept And hast refreshed me while I slept; Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake, I may of endless life partake. 12 QLabcxmzk Ctjorus. 4 Lord, I my vows to thee renew; Scatter my sins as morning dew ; Guard my first spring of thought and will, And with thyself my spirit rill. 5 Direct, control, suggest this day, All I design, or do, or say, That all my powers, with all their might, In thy sole glory may unite, 13 L.M. How excellent is thy loving-kindness ! — Psa. 86. 7. AWAKE, my soul, in joyful lays, And sing thy great Redeemer's praise.

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Psa. 100. 1. BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne Ye nations bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone, — He can create, and he destroy. 2 His sov'reign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and form'd us men ; And when, like wand'ring sheep, we stray'd He brought us to His fold again. 14 ffiobcrnacle QL\)otm. 3 We are thy people, we thy care ; Our souls and all our mortal frame : What lasting honours shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to thy name ! 4 We '11 crowd thy gates with thankful songs; High as the heavens our voices raise : And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 5 Wide as the world is thy command, Vast as eternity thy love ; Firm as a rock thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move. 16 L.M.

BRIGHTEST and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid I Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining, Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all. 18 Gtiibernaelc (Eljorns. 3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion, Odours of Edom and off 'rings divine? Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine ? 4 Yainly we offer each ample oblation ; Yainly with gifts would his favour secure ; Eicher by far is the heart's adoration ; Dearer to G-od are the prayers of the poor.

And thousands walk together there ; But wisdom shows a narrow path, With here and there a traveller. 2 " Deny thyself and take thy cross," Is the Redeemer's great command: Nature must count her gold but dross, If she would gain this heavenly land. 3 The fearful soul that tires and faints, And walks the ways of God no more, Is but esteemed almost a saint, And makes his own destruction sure. 4 Lord ! let not all my hopes be vain : Create my heart entirely new : Which hypocrites could ne'er attain, Which false apostates never knew. 19 Sabcrncule <£l]orns 23 CM.
