CHARLES B. SNEPP, LL.aL, VICAR OF PERRY BARR, FRANCES RIDLEY HAYERGAL. FULL EDITION OF 1094 HYMNS AND 303 TUNES. LONDON : JAMES NISBET AND CO., 21, BERNERS STREET. 1876. II rson, Bait and Fenton, General Printers, Marylebone Lane, Oxford Street, II". PREFACE TO "SONGS OF GEACE AND GLORY. A brief statement of a few facts connected with this Hymnal may be desirable. It is designed for Private, Family, and Public Worship. It was under- taken by request, and is the result of thirty years' collection. The discovery of authors and dates to more than 1,000 hymns ; the careful comparison with the originals, and the restoration (as far as prac- tical) to those originals ; the selection of suitable texts of Holy Scripture for each hymn ; the appropriation of suitable tunes ; the arrangement of 1,094 hymns under classified subjects ; the drawing up of many carefully prepared indices ; and the large correspondence involved throughout the whole ; — all these several items have fully occupied the spare time at com- mand of the Editor for several years. The great object of this Hymnal is to spread the glorious gospel of the grace of God, by representing, in sacred verse, all the doctrines of Holy Scripture, including the deeper mysteries of the everlasting Covenant, and the glorious Second Advent of the Messiah. By thus aiding the memory, it may become, through God's blessing, a channel of holy influences on the heart and life. The Editor acknowledges, with grateful appreciation, the kindness and courtesy of so many authors, including the highest dignitaries of our Church, whose labours have enriched this volume, and who have most generously given permission to reprint. No labour or expense has been spared to render this Hymnal useful and comprehensive, both as a work of reference, instruction, and refreshment for individuals and families, and as a practical and complete supply of all the recpiirements for Divine worship. Every doctrine of Holy Scripture, all the seasons of our ecclesiastical year, and all the hopes and conflicts of the individual believer, have been carefully represented. May it be found at the Great Day that we have not laboured in vain, nor spent our strength for nought; and to the "God of all Grace," our Triune Covenant, and Faithful God, shall be all the "Glory." CHARLES B. SNEPP. ABRIDGED EDITIONS OF "SONGS OF GRACE AND GL0HY." The Public "Worship Edition is an abridged form, containing 5*20 hymns, drawn np by special request, to meet the requirements of those churches where a smaller and cheaper edition is desired. In that edition many choice hymns are necessarily omitted, and those only which appear most suited for Public Worship retained. Price 7d. to 3s. Gd. The "Songs of Grace and Glory for the Young," new and en- larged edition, contains 178 hymns. Price 2d. "Songs of Grace and Glory for Mission Services," Prayer Meet- ings, &c, contains 135 hymns. Price 2d. "The Appendix," for Mission Services, &c, «.y.c, contains GO hymns. Price 1 \d. The " Halfpenny Songs of Grace and Glory" contains 29 Gospel hymns for Special Missions. For convenience of reference, and simultaneous as i of all or any of these books, the number to each hymn remains the same in all the editions. PREFACE TO THE MUSICAL EDITION. Many will be surprised at the large number of well-known and favourite tunes in Haverga.Vs Psalmody. The fact is that HavergaVi Old Church Psalmody has been the fountain from which editors of subsequent collections have drawn — either at first or second-hand — and the original guide to many valuable tune-sources, both English and foreign. It was the Columbus of tune-books ; the pioneer, not to a New, but to an Old "World of musical treasure. Now, the route is open and easy. The retiring and unselfish spirit of its editor, as well as his devotion to yet higher work, prevented that assertion of its true position before the multitude which has always been accorded to it by the highest musical authorities. The selections from A Hundred Psalm and Hymn Tunes, hy the Rev. W. H. Havergal, will be found, as experience has proved them to be, easily learnt, greatly liked, and practically adapted for congregational singing. Of one of these, Dr. Lowell Mason, the great American pro- moter of choral singing, wrote as follows: — "I have lately introduced into my choir, and sung with admirable effect, your tune, ' Eden ' [No. 3S]. The effect of it was truly magnificent. My choir consists of about sixty singers ; the different parts are well sustained, and about equally balanced. I have never heard anything come nearer to my beau ideal of Church Music than did the singing of this tune, on a fine Sabbath morning, in a church filled with people. It made a deep impression ; and the next day one and another was asking, ' "What tune did you sing yester- day morning ? ' ' Where did you get that tune ? ' &c. The performance of ' Eden ' makes one feel as did Jacob at Luz, and involuntarily exclaim, 'This is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.' "Wonderful would be the effect of Psalmody were all the people to unite in such lofty and majestic strains." — April 30, 1847. In order to meet the increasing proportion of "peculiar measures," a number of tunes have been adapted from the Rev. W. H. Havergal's own melodies (chiefly from unpublished MSS.), while, for extra measures "which could not be thus supplied, tunes have been added by another hand. The arrangement of the tunes is strictly metrical. After the regular L.M.'s, C.M.'s, and S.M.'s, the P.M.'s follow in order of length of measure, beginning with 5 5 5 5, and ending with 12 10. (KB. — 15 15, 15 15, will be found under 8 7, 8 7. D.) When several tunes belong to one measure, they are carefully arranged in order of character, beginning with the jubilant, and shading gradually to the plaintive ; so that, if an alternative tune for any hymn be desired, it will never be far to seek. The nomenclature of Havergal 's Psalmody is systematic. The name of each tune at once supplies information as to its origin. Old English, Scotch, or German tunes bear respectively English, Scotch, or German iv Pfc&FACB. names ; those by the Rev. W. 11. Eavergal are named, with a few excep- tions, from the natural geography of the Bible ; the added tunes are named from "the friends of St Paul." No departure from these rules has been made without some necessitating reason. The Large Type or Organ Editions of HavergaVs Psalmody conta'n Kyries, Glorias, and other additions not included in the present hymnal edition ; while editions A and B contain Prefaces and Historical N which are quoted as " a treasury of information and an armoury of defence of the principles of Church Music." A and D include "A Century of Chants." The Abridged Edition [HavergaVs Psalmody Abridged) contains 100 Tunes, as Companion Volume to the Abridged Editions of '"Songs of Grace and Glory," for the Young, and for Mission Services. HavergaVs Psalmody, a memorial to one whose works do follow him, was originally given to the Church by his devoted widow, and "dedicated to his beloved, honoured, and cherished memory ; " and she lias ap] I its use in the present form. This contains an appendix of additional tunes, Nos. 254 to 334, with Prefatory Note. The Plan adopted in the present volume has the advantage of allowing any tune to be opentd with any hymn, without disturbing the careful an mejit of both tunes and hymns, and without necessitating, as in other hymnals, the use of a certain tune when another of the same metre may be preferred. Crotchets are used throughout instead of minims, not as indicating any difference in speed, but in order to secure greater clearness and legibility with the smaller type. As the tunes have not been affixed to the hymns without much thought and prayer, and very careful consideration as to which tune will best develop the spirit of each hymn, and emphasize its most important points, it is strongly advised that, generally speaking, the tunes indicated should be adhered to. On the other hand, as the great aim of making our singing congregational is not attained if too many new tunes are attempted at once, it is well to introduce them gradually, repeating each newly-learnt tune at short inter- vals, until quite familiar. It is advisable to begin with a few tunes in such metres as occur abundantly. The following selection of peculiar metres may be found useful at first, as giving a wide range o\ hymns. Hennas, for 6 5, 6 5. D ; Zoan I., for spirited and joyous hymns in 7 <>'. 7 6. D : and Mahanaim (or Goldbach), for quieter hymns in the same metre ; Lubeck and Patmos, respectively, for the two classes of hymns in 7 7, 7 7 : \ and Sihor, for 7 7,77.77: Culbach and Frankfort (or Godesberg), for 8 7, 8 7 ; Zaanaim and [dumea, for 87, 87, 4 7 (or 8 7. 8 7. 87) ; Magdalene College and Kedron, for 8 8 6. I>; and Paran, for 11 11. 11 II. The Tuneal Appendix to the present edition, containing SI fcui also published separately, for use with the large editions oi Jin P sal mud y. P. R. HAVERGAL.

But Thou canst read it there. 3 To all my weak complaints and cries Thy mercy lent an ear, Ere yet my feehle thoughts had learnt To form themselves in prayer. 4 When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm unseen conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. 5 Through hidden dangers, toils, and deaths It gently cleared my way ; And through the pleasing snares of vice, More to be feared than they. 6 When worn with sickness, oft hast Thou With health renewed my face ; And when in sin and sorrow sunk, Revived my soul with grace. 7 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue ; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 8 When nature fails, and day and night Divide Thy works no more, My ever grateful heart, O Lord ! Thy mercy shall adore. 9 Through all eternity to Thee A joyful song I'll raise ; But oh ! eternitv's too short To utter all Thy praise ! Joseph Addison, 1712. "J AO Ps. cvii. 7.
