[With Privilege of Copy Right, j 1791* t -i>«r PREFACE, 1 HE German Churches in America have always been endeavoring to keep up their lan- guage, and have never neglected the propet means for this purp fe', Thty have cretSed every where fchools, and they catechife their children in German. Thcie endeavors are founded neither in a contempt of the Janguage prevailing in this part of the world, nor of the other proteftant religious focieties ; but m the nature of things. Parents arrive in this country without a competent knowledge of the Engliih. They- either find German churches e&abliftied, or they come in fach numbers to a place as to be able to efcablifh them. There is then no queilion about the language. But the entrance of any religious fociety i? con- nected with an implicit engagement to be and. remain a lupporter of it. I know of. no au- thority comaiiflioned to difcha-rge any one from this obligation, except the interference of cenfeientious icruples atjeut the faluL: of the doclrlne. Any o ther'Von fid e ration that ever induced a perfon to break up the mrm b e r fh i p with a c o n gv c ; a \ i c 1 * t i of a for fuel: mem . . d in a contri From thefe tv.-o circumftanccs, the the German language c ion fpc- ken of, the Germai venience in the u-ts of the United States, where f have fc PREFACE. in forae parts a difficulty begins to appearand this is in populous cities, where their number is fmal!, and in lome country diftricls, where ihciriettlements are mixed withEnglifhpeople. Here the children of the German parents, be- ing not in the lead aided by any German converiation in common life, and in ibme places not even enjoying an uninterrupted church fervice every Sunday, do not find the means fupplied by the ichools, which teach the German, iufneient to render the German churchifervice ufeful to them. The relult of tills observation is not with us, that they mud quit their connection, this would be a moral impoilibility for the mod or them. For they e, at their confirmation, entered the fo- lem^i promife of fahhfulnefs as long as they d the doctrine confonant to Icripturc : but i hat the ufc of the Engliih, in iuch places and congregations ought to be connected with the German, and this both in the church and ichool, as the French Hugenotsdo in all chief ics in Germany,.- with the French and the V'crniaus. Asthis hasbeen done already in fome itheran congregations in New Jeriey, and in is ftate, this little collection is intended to red to the evangelical brethren for ir ufe in the above mentioned purpofes, in it meet: their approbation, ft all of the hymns are tranilations from .rman, and were tiled before in their All except thofe in the appendix , n PREFACE, the German Pfalmody, printed in London and re-printed at New-York, by H. Gaine, 1756, with which many ferious Engliih pcrions have been greatly delighted ; and from an excel- lent collection- of the Moravian Brethren, printed in London, 1789. In the appendix only I have taken the liberty to add a few of my own, and of the Rev. MeflVs. ErnfVs and Strebeck*s, both translations and original com- positions. The tranflation of the Liturgy, Catechifm, and Order of Salvation is done by my worthy afliftantin preaching, Mr. Streheck, and the reft added by myielf, except the Prayers, which are taken from Jos. A Heine's excellent little work, * An Alarm to Unconverted Sini ners.' It was the intention, likewiie, to add the Augiiftan Confeflion, and Mr. Strebeck has actually tranQated i: from the Latin. But a difinclination to fwell the fize of the book was at this time preponderating. It is howe- ver ready, and can, at the defire of any one, who would not fpare the expenccs, be printed iingly. May the adorable Lord and Mafter, whofe church has always been uled and inclined to ling hispraifes, and who inhabits the praifes of his Ifrael, deign thefe endeavors of a por- tion of his bleffings, that with this little book in the hand and the contents in the heart, many fouls, families, and congregations may woi> &ip him in the beauty of holinefs.
