' &» PARAPHRASE OF PSALU XI. !V, 12. The followin? beautiful and instructive lines are from the pen of the late Righi Uoiu Sir Robert Grant, late governor general of Indh, and brother to L ord Glenelg : — •• Blessed is the man whom thou ehasteneflt." 0 Saviour! whose mercy, severe in its kindness, Has c>'a«fen*d my wandering*, and guided my way; Adored be the power which illumined my blindness, And weaned me from phantoms that smiled to betray. ed with all that was daz/,!iug and l/ir, I followed the rainbow — 1 caught at the toy I And still in displeasure thy goodness was there, D sappointing the hope, and defeating the jojr. The blossom blushed bright, but a worm was below ; The moonlight shone fair — there was blight in the beam; Sweet whispered the breeze, but it whispered of wo ; And bitterness flowed in the sof'-flovung stream. So, cured of my folly, yet cured but in part, T turned to the refuge thy pity displayed : A 'id still did this eager and credulous heart Weave visions of promise that bloomed but to fade. J thought that the course of the pilgrim to heaven Would be bright as the summer, and glad as the morn Thou show'dst me the path — it was dark and uneven, All rugged with rock, and all tangled with th rn. 1 dreamed of celestial rewards and renown ! I grasped at the triumph which blesses the brave ; I sought for the palm-branch, 'the robe and the crown ; 1 asked — and thou show'dst me a cross and a grave. Subdued and instructed, at length, to thy will My hopes and my longings I fain would resign ; O give me the heart that can wait and be Stilj, Nor knOW of a wish or a pleasure but thine. There are mansions exempted from sin and from wo, But they s'and in a region by mortals untrod ; There are rivers of jo? — but they roll not below ; Thert is rest- -but it dwells in the presence of God.

PUBLISHED AND FOR SALE BY DAVID CLARK, NO. 118, NORTH FOURTH STREET. 1830. PREFACE. IN the roll of pre-eminent characters which have attained literary fame, and transmitted to posterity a memory embalmed with the odours of grati- tude, the Rev. Dr. Isaac Watts ranks high. It was the eulogium of can- dour, at the d marid of justice, which Dr. Johnson pronounced when he said, That few persons have lift behind such purity of character, or such Monuments of laborious piety. Among these, good men without number are peculiarly indebted to him for his Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs. What denomination of Protestants, to whom the English language is ver- nacular, can we rind either at home or abroad, who have not derived pious edification from these inestimable compositions of our sweet singer in Israel? Humble cottages, rustic barns, decent meeting-houses, and ca- pacious tabernacles, are not the only temples which have been made vocal by his lays, or whose worshippers soar in his songs : — their inspiration has been felt und.?r the vaulted well of many a Gothic edifice ; while, not Sternhold and. Hopkins only, but Tate, Brady, and other great names, have occasionally resigned the honours of poetry, and of praise. Of this, a letter from the celebrated Rev. Mr. James Hervey, in 1747, is a pleasing specimen. After pronouncing an encomium on the Doctor's works, as the favourite pattern by which he would form his conduct and model hia style, he adds ; ;l Among other of your edifying compositions, I have rea- son to thank you for your sacred songs, which I have introduced into the service of my church ; so that, in the solemnities of the sabbath, and in a lecture on the week-day, your muse lights up the incense of our praise, and furnishes our devotions with harmony." This charming paragraph conveys the sentiments, and expresses the practice of many an evangeli- cal clergyman belonging to the national establishment. And a small ac- quaintance with the state of religion in our native country, and in other lands, induces me to form a conjecture, which I think is far within the precincts of moderation, that through the last half hundred years more than a million tongues are, every Lord's day, employed, " With songs and honours sounding loud," for the poetry of which, they are, under God, indebted to Ids distinguish- ed pen, and for the piety of them, to his devotional heart. Few, however, are the publications which have been printed in so shameful a manner. The most costly and the most common editions have long furnished reasons for universal complaint. Pasham's edition, indeed, issued from the press under a very careful eye ; but having been printed, it seems, from an imperfect edition, it re- tains many inaccuracies of its original; and will always be distinguished by an accident — I mean the omission of a whole verse in the 91st Hymn of the second book. ff'ayland's edition at length followed, and then several others; butthey carefully preserved most of the false readings, and created others. One edition appeared, in which the lines were transposed ; other editions pur- ' ' " stanzas, and des? """" -1 =*" ">-— * c-n-aii «•» »•« 3* XXX PREFACE. published without any one Title to either of the Hymns or Psalms, a ad bo deprived the public of many hundred lines. Other editions went far- ther yet, and, retaining the titles, omitted all the Index of Scriptures, and ah the Index of Subjects. Several of the edition! published by the book- sellers themselves have from limr to five hundred considerable errors — and, after a careful perusal of one of their editions, which does not ap- pear to be inferior to several of the rest, I can scarcely find two correct pages following each other, either in the Hymns or Psalms, unless an ex- ception be made in the title page, and the blank page al the back of it. Two or three of the latest editions of this work, and of neat appear- ance, have been introduced to the public, as "repairers of the breach"— purporting to be printed verbatim, or extremely corrrect, from a standard copy. The principle on which these were published is a fundamental error; for, after pursuing an acquaintance with all Dr. Watts's editions of his Hymns and Psalms, occasionally ever since 1773, when Pasham's vo- lume was published, I am, in some measure, prepared to assert, That whoever really prints verbatim, from any one copy of Dr. Watts's Hymns or Psalms, will tie ecr give his text. However, I have collated one of these latest editions, and was surprised to rind, that though it is announced as printed from one of the Doctor's most approved copies, it has not only the misprints, which, 1 suppose, are almost unavoidable in all books, but it is Intentionally made to differ from every one of Dr. Watts's own editions, in more than an hundred and fifty places, without any intima- tion of it to tlitf reader. A genuine edition, therefore, of this useful work, which is a professed object of the present undertaking, cannot be unacceptable to the religious public. HISTORY OF THE HYMNS. It may be proper to observe, that the volume of Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Hist printed in the year 1707, contained only To Hymns in tire first book; 110 in the second; and 22 Hymns, with 1-J Doxologies, in the third book. A Supplement to the first edition was published in 1701), by which the Hymns in the first hook were increased from 18 to 150, in the second from .110 to 170, and in the third from 'i-2 to -Jo, besides the addition of three Dozjlogies, and of four other pieces, entitled Hosannas, or, Salva tion ascribedto Christ. These auxiliaries were highly interesting, and of great merit. But the addition of so many Hymns to a multitude of others, all of which were of heterogeneous association, will sufficiently account for the want of method through the whole volume. At the publication of the Supplement, it was too late to educe order out of confusion, or tc graft the scion of method on the stock of irregularity. The erections in the first streets of the city having derived their situation from accident, the accession of new ones only lengthened the labyrinth. The Doctor, unhappily, opens his first hook with the Apocalypse, and nearly concludes it with hymns on Isaiah. Or. if we compare the first and second hook together, it will he seen that the first book begins with the Revelation, celebrating the Death of Christ, and the Day of Judg incnt; and that some of the last hymns in the second book are coinpo&evl on the book of Job, ami one of them on the first chapter of Genesis, with this very title, "The Creation of the World." These things considered, it will be ceneiallv admitted, that whatever arrangement is given to the Hymns will he likely to place some of them, at least, in a situation every way preferable to "that which they hold at pwwmti PREFACE. XXXI REASONABLENESS OF ARRANGEMENT. The Hymns in the first part were composed " on particular portions of Scripture," and therefore obtained a book for themselves; but the Doctor informs us, that he might have applied some text or other to every verse in the second part, " if this method had" appeared to him to have ubeen as useful as it was easy." Of course, as the first part and the second were on similar subjects, they admitted of being formed into one book ; to which the superior poetry of some of the latter, or "the neglect of rhyme in the first and third lines of the stanza," could have been no sufficient objection, being seldom observed by one plain christian in a thousand, and never regarded in our public assemblies. Indeed, as the Hymns in the first part and the second are all distinguishable by texts of scripture, it might have seemed more natural 10 unite than to separate them. And I conjecture, that it must be impossible to mention a single disadvantage which would have followed on their union. And then|"if the first and second books, being on scriptural subjects, and reducible to certain texts, might so properly have formed one book ; for the same reason, the third book might have been united with them, because it also chiefly consists of " paraphrases of Scripture," with texts placed over many of them, as distinctly as they are in the first book. The adoption of this method would have prevented the everlasting encumbrance and perplexity of turning backward and forward when an article is wanted, through first book, and second book, and third book. Or, as all the subjects were derived from tlie Old Testament and the New, if the Hymns could have been placed in the order of the sacred books, it would very much have superseded the necessity of an Index of scriptures, as Mr. Orton has done, with great acceptance, in the volume of our celebrated Dr. Doddridge. But to these methods there is, and I suppose always will remain, this grand objection, " That the Doctor has judiciously placed together, in the third book, the Hymns on the Lord's Supper, as being on one subject ; tl>- advantage of which our pastors constantly experience, especially at th<_ administration of that sacred ordinance : for the needful section maybe turned to in a moment, without the aid of first lines, or of any index." Tills is a fair objection, and I consider it unanswerable. But, if there be any reason why the Hymns on the Lord's Supper should have been united, and remain together, there is precisely the same why the Hymns on Bap- tism should be~gathered into one section. If the former are naturally and advantageously united, the latter arc unnaturally and disadvantageous!}' separated. And then, if these remarks are just concerning distinct chap- ters for the Hymns on Baptism and the Lord's Supper, I cannot be the herald of information to the intelligent in saying, that they are of equal application to every other subject of general classification, from one end to tbe other of these interesting productions. It is on this principle the subsequent arrangement is made, including the INTERSPERSION OF THE PSALMS AMONG THE HYMNS. Here three things should be considered : 1. Tn 1719, viz. twelve years after the first publication of the Hymns, Dr. Watts published his Psalms of David. In executing his design, he takes an whole Psalm, many verses of one, or sometimes only a few ; transposing at pleasure. And he has, not without the reasons which are mentioned in his notes, entirely omitted whole Psalms. Particularly the 28, 43, 52, 54, 59, 64, 70, 79, 88, 108. 137, and 140 ; and he has also passed over a great part of many more. These things are mentioned, not as ex- XrXU PREFA op- pressive of disapprobation, but tr> state a fact. Transposition, abridge- ment, ami omission, w« ire essentials of Ins plan, without which he could not hare executed it. The> do uot impi> defect, the) are attributed to design. Hut if the !><>i ior'~ Work had been a dose translation at' all the Psaim.-, and a regular paraphi u red original, as the publications of several p. to be, the uecessitj of arranging theni among the Hymns might never have occurred to auy person. !2. The many titles, and veiy different, subjects wliii h are given in the same Psalm, seem to require a separation into distinct sections as much as the Hymns on the Lord's Supper, or those on Sokunou'sSong. Examine only a part of the titles belonging to a low of tlie Psalms, am! this will appear. Over the ltttta Psalm the Doctor lias justly placed these dillerent, if not unconnected heads. Saints the heat Company — Christ" 'a .lll-suf- jiciency — Support mid Couneel from Qod without Af< ritrr-The Death and ction of Christ. As great a diversity may be seen in the titles of tlie 107th Psalm: Israel led to Canaam mad Christ ni — Cor- rection for Sin — Jl Psalm fur the (ilutton and Drunkard— The MarxAer'a Psalm— Culonir.s pluiit id. The 144th Psalm also might be produced as an instance, with many more, whose parts seem to have but little if any necessary connexion ; nor will their being called Psaim Kith, lu7th, or by any other single number, give them unit) i i produce any re- lation either just or natural between them. 3. There can be nothing improper in il ■ . of the Psalms among the Hymns, because wiawy of tlie Psalms are alrt a, y mingled with them, and have been so from the beginning. T
