 "The Extra Hymn-Book" is intended to be, to the 
 hymn-books already in use, what an extra newspaper is 
 to the regular edition. As the extra newspaper publishes 
 news received or invented after the regular edition goes 
 to press, so this little book contains hymns which have 
 been made or brought into use since the issue of most of 
 the larger Sunday-school hymn-books published by the 
 denominational and union publishing houses. This book 
 is supplementary to them. It can be bound with them, 
 or fastened in the back of them, or used separately. It 
 brings them down to the present time. It is made 
 because it is needed and has been loudly called for. 
 
 During the past few years the Sunday-school has been 
 inundated with a vast deluge of material for singing, of 
 various degrees of merit and demerit as to both music 
 and words. Gems of sacred song have been put side by 
 side with crippled rhymes or empty ballads ; truly devo- 
 tional hymns have been degraded by contact with senti- 
 mental doggerel whose only attraction is the jingling rej e- 
 tition of unmeaning chorus. Sunday-school people are 
 awake to the fact that children can and will sing. Let 
 us also be awake as to what ought to be sung. Children 
 will sing any thing they are taught, unless the tune is too 
 dismal. They will sing nonsense as eagerly as wisdom; 
 trash, as earnestly as good poetry; deadly error, as mu- 
 sically as saving truth. We must be careful to give them 
 only that which is good. We must teach them to sing 
 
 3 
 
 A 
 
genuine hymns of praise, to good music, and to sing 
 them well. Thus only will the singing be acceptable to 
 G >d. Otherwise, it is a mockery. 
 
 The hymns which are here given are selected as the 
 best of the multitude made since the publication of the 
 books referred to, or omitted from them. They are as 
 the pearls in a heap of pearl oysters; the small measure 
 of fine wheat in many bushels of chaff; the gold coin in 
 the pocket-full of keys and rusty nails. Every one of 
 them can wisely be used in the worship of the Must High 
 God. They are intended especially for the Sunday- 
 school, but can as well be used in the church prayer-meet- 
 ing, the family, the closet, the camp, or the battle-field. 
 
 Reference to appropriate music is annexed to most of 
 fie hymns of unusual metre. The hymns from "Sweet 
 Singer" are used by permission of Messrs. Carlton and 
 Porter, and those from "Golden Chain" and "Golden 
 Shower," by permission of Win. B. Bradbury, Esq. 
 
 Sing. Sing with all your might. Sing, not merely to 
 make a great noise; nor yet only to make fine music. 
 Sing to the praise of the God who so loved us as to give 
 h:s only Son to die for us. And let every word we sing 
 bo a note of heartfelt worship. A little while, and we 
 shall be done with the infirmities of earthly music. If 
 v. • love God, we shall be admitted to where there is not 
 a discordant note, or an incomplete chord. 
 
 "Pkaise ye the Lord; for it is good to sing 
 KkAisKS unto our God."

 'At thy right hand there are pleasures for ever-

 1 A BEAUTIFUL land by faith I see, 
 ■*-*- A land of rest, from sorrow free, 
 
 The home of the ransomed, blight and fair, 
 And beautiful angels too are there. 
 
 2 That beautiful land, the City of Light, 
 It ne'er has known the shades of uight; 
 The glory of God, the light of day 
 Hath driven the darkness far away. 
 
 3 In vision I see its streets of gold, 
 Its beautiful gates I too behold, 
 The river of life, the crystal sea, 
 The ambrosial fruit of life's fair tree. 
 
 i The heavenly throng arrayed in white. 
 In rapture range the plains of light. 
 In one harmonious choir they praise 
 Their glorious Saviour's matchless grace. 
 Chorus.— Will you go? 
 
 Go to that beautiful land with me ? 
 Will you go? 
 Go to that beautiful laud?

 Whose loving words have told 
 Of Jesus, the Good Shepherd,

 They spend the precious moments 
 
 In idleness and play. 
 No Sabbath-school inviting 
 
 Its pleasant doors within, 
 No teacher's voice entreating 
 
 To leave the way of sin. 
 
 3 I wish that I could tell them 
 
 How Jesus came to die, 
 When he for little children 
 
 Left his bright throne on high; 
 And all the sad, sad story 
 
 Of sorrow which he bore. 
 When for his crown of glory 
 
 A crown of thorns he wore. 
 
 4 And so, each morn and evening, 
 
 Whene'er I kneel in prayer, 
 I'll ask the gracious Saviour 
 
 To send his gospel there; 
 That in the glorious city, 
 
 In which he dwells above, 
 We all may sing together 
 
 Of his redeeming love.

 A little longer;

 Up to his heavenly home 
 
 Surely he'll take thee.

 1 rpHOUGH the days are dark with trouble, 
 -*- And thy heart is filled with fear, 
 
 There is One that sees thee ever. 
 And will hold thee near and dear. 
 
 Cheerful hearts and smiling faces 
 Often make thee happy here; 
 
 Yet no one was e'er so happy 
 But sometimes the clouds appear. 
 
 2 All thy prospects will seem brighter 
 
 "When the shadow leaves the heart, 
 And the steps of time beat lighter 
 
 "When the gloomy clouds depart. 
 Many days have dawned serenely, 
 
 While the birds sang with delight. 
 But the skies were dark and gloomy 
 
 Ere the sun had reached its height. 
 
 3 Soon will dawn a brighter morning. 
 
 On a blessed, tranquil shore ; 
 Sighs will then give place to singing, 
 
 Tears to bliss for evermore. 
 Thou shalt see a world of glory 
 
 And eternal joy and bliss: 
 Let not. then, thy soul be moaning 
 
 O'er the woes and cares of this.
