PREFACE. 
 
 THE union, in 1874, of the Wesleyan Methodists and the Methodist New 
 Connexion of Canada in one body, under the name of " The Methodist 
 Church of Canada," and the expiration of the copyright of the English 
 Wesleyan Hymn-Book, the same year, rendered it necessary either to 
 adopt the Hjmn-Book of some other branch of Methodism, or to compile 
 a new book of praise for the use of the congregations and families of the 
 newly formed Canadian Methodist Church. The subject was considered 
 at the first General Conference, held in Toronto in 1874. A Committee 
 was appointed to prepare materials for a new Hymn-Eook, and report to 
 the next General Conference. The report of this Committee, submitted 
 to the General Conference wiiich met in Montreal in 1878, dealt mainly 
 with what hymns in the old Wesleyan Hymn-Book should be omitted, and 
 what abbreviations, and emendations should be made in those retained. 
 The Committee recommended that all the hymns selected for the new 
 Hymn-Book, whether from the original Collection, or from other sources, 
 should be arranged under suitable heads, according to their subjects. 
 After full consideration, the following resolution was adopted : — " That 
 the Report of the H/jmn-Book Committee he adopted, and that the dm- 
 mittee he re-appfointed, and authorized to complete andpuUiah the Hymn- 
 Book within two years." 
 
 Having their authority renewed, and their work definitely specified, the 
 Committee applied themselves to carry out to successful completion the 
 important task assigned them by the General Conference. The main work 
 still to be done was the selection of new hymns, and the proper classifica- 
 tion of the whole. In numerous meetings as separate sections, and after- 
 wards in a protracted session of the Committee, held at Cobourg, during 
 September, 1879, a great deal of prayerful thought and earnest labour 
 were devoted to the preparation of such a Hymn-Book as would fully 
 meet the requirements of the Church in all its services. The work was 
 completed and published within the time specified by the General Confer- 
 ence ; and was received with general favour, as well adapted for public 
 worship, social services, and private devotion.

At the first general Conference of the Methodist Church, held in Belle- 
 ville in September 1883, it was unanimously agreed ** that ' The Methodist 
 Hjmn-Book ' now used in the Methodist Church of Canada be adopted by 
 all the congregations of the united Church, and that, in view of such use, 
 a suitable preface be supplied in future editions." The reasons that led to 
 this decision w ere, doubtless, the admitted excellence of the book itself, 
 and the fact that it was copyrighted, and already extensively used, by the 
 largest of the uniting Churches. 
 
 The general scope and character of this book of praise are fitly indicated 
 by the following paragraphs taken from the original preface : — 
 
 *' The influence of hymns of praise upon religious life has been felt and 
 acknowledged in all ages, and in all branches of the Christian Church. 
 From the beginning of the great religious awakening of the last century 
 to the present time, the rich treasures of gospel truth and Christian ex- 
 perience, embodied in our noble Weslej^an hymns, have been among the 
 most potent forces in the history of Methodism. These hymns have been 
 a liturgy and a confession of faith ; promoting the spirit of devotion and 
 soundness in doctrine, among * the people called Methodists.' " 
 
 " The revision of the * Collection,' so long used in every section of 
 Wesleyan Methodism, was the most delicate and difficult part of the work. 
 It Vv'as surrounded by many hallowed and cherished associations ; having 
 been for a century a source of consolation and strength to multitudes of 
 God's people. The Committee, therefore, were unanimous in resolving to 
 leave out no hymn which, by its adaptation to public worship, or private 
 devotion, had vindicated a right to a place in the psalmody' of the Church. 
 But they felt that hymns which, after a trial of nearly a hundred years, 
 had revealed little or no adaptation for use, might be safely omitted, to 
 make place for others of greater practical value. Some long hymns have 
 been divided ; and others shortened to a moderate length, by omitting 
 imperfect or inferior stanzas. In a few instances, where some solecism, 
 or offensive confusion of figures, marred a beautiful hymn, it was thought 
 better to adopt an appropriate emendation, than to perpetuate a blemish 
 that could be removed without lessening the lyrical or devotional value 
 of the hjinn. 
 
 *' In this book, all that constitutes the richness and attractive beauty of 
 Wesleyan hymnology has been retained ; and over three hundred of the 
 choicest modern and ancient hj^mns have been added. In the selection 
 of new hymns, particular attention has been given to increase the number 
 of those suitable for public worship and special ooeasions, while having 
 4 
 
careful regard to lyrical harmony and doctrinal soundness. The unity 
 and completeness of the classification: the number and excellence of the 
 new hymns, and the carefully prepared headings, indicating the subject of 
 every hymn, must greatly enhance the popularity and usefulness of this 
 collection. The Committee, in presenting the result ot their labours to 
 the Church, cherish a confident hope that this Hymn Book, with its rich 
 variety of grand and inspiring songs of praise, will gi\ e a new impulse to 
 the worship and devotion of our people ; and that it will long continue to 
 be an effective means of guiding sinners to the Saviour, and increasing the 
 faith and love of the thousands who follow Christ under the banners of 
 our Canadian Methodism." 
 
 The cordial thanks of the Committee are tendered to the following 
 authors and publishers, for permission to insert hymns of which they 
 possess the copyright : — The Right Rev. the Bishop of Lincoln -, the \ cr> 
 Rev. the Dean of Westminster ; the Rev. Horatius Bonar, D.D. , che Rev . 
 W. M. Punshon, LL.D ; Miss M. V G Havergal ; the Rev J Ellerton ; 
 the Rev. H. Twells, MA ; James Kisbet & Co. , the Religious Tract 
 Society; and other publishers of volumes from which hymns have been 
 taken. If in any instance, from want of information, hymns have been 
 inserted without formal permission, it is hoped such oversight will be 
 forgiven by the authors or publishers concerned.

 * Praise to the Redeemer. 
 
 1 /^ FOR a thousand tongues to sing 
 \_/ My great Redeemer's praise ; 
 The glories of my God and King. 
 
 The triumphs of his grace ! 
 
 2 My gracious Master and my God, 
 
 Assist me to proclaim, 
 To spread through all the earth abroad 
 The honours of thy Name. 
 
 3 Jesus ! the Name that charms our fears. 
 
 That bids our sorrows cease ; 
 Tis music in the sinner's ear. 
 'Tis life, and health, and peace. 
 
 4 He breaks the power of cancelled sin. 
 
 And sets the prisoner free ; 
 His blood can make the foulest clean, 
 His blood availed for i7ie. 
 
 5 He speaks, and, listening to his voice, 
 
 New life the dead receive ; 
 The mournful, broken hearts rejoice ; 
 The humble poor believe. 
 
 6 Heat him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb, 
 
 Your loosening tongues employ; 
 Ye blind, behold your Saviour come, 
 And leap, ye lame, for joy. 
 
 7 Look unto him, ye nations ; own 
 
 Your God, ye fallen race ; 
 Look, and be saved through faith alone, 
 Be justified by grace. 
 
 8 See all your sins on Jesus laid : 
 
 The Lamb of God was slain. 
 His soul was once an offering made 
 For every soul of man.

 To save rebellious worms, 
 "Where justice and compassion join 
 In their divinest fonns ;

 Nor dares a creature guess 
 Which of the glories brightest shone. 
 The justice, or the grace.

 Adorn the heavenly plains ; 
 Bright seraphs learn ImmanueVs name. 
 And try their choicest strains.

 In that immortal song ! 
 Wonder and joy shall tune my heart. 
 And love command my tongue

 Our dreadful curse on Calvary ;

 And poured his sacred blood. 
 
 To set the guilty captives free.

 Triumphant o'er his foes, 
 
 And led the vanquished host in chains ; 
 He threw their empire down. 
 His foes compelled to own. 
 
 O'er all the great Messiah reigns.

 He govex^ns all our race 
 
 In wisdom, righteousness, and love ; 
 Who to Messiah fly 
 Shall find redemption nigh. 
 
 And all his great salvation prove.

 V V Through all the courts of paradise

 The fruit of his eternal love ; 
 
 The Son with joy looks down, and sees 
 The purchase of his agonies.

 And saints and angels join to sing 
 The glowing empire of their King.

 Showers, the thirsty land refreshing ; 
 Let some drops now fall on me —

 Thou might'st leave me, but the luther 
 Let thy mercy fall on me —

 1 TT THEREWITH, God, shaD I draw 
 
 VV near. 
 
 And bow myself before thy face ? 
 How in thy purer eyes appear? 
 What shall I bring to gain thy grace ? 
 
 2 Will gifts delight the Lord Most High? 
 
 Will multiplied oblations please? 
 Thousands of rams his favour buy, 
 Or slaughtered hecatombs appease? 
 
 3 Can these avei-t the UTath of God? 
 
 Can these wash out my guilty stain? 
 Rivers of oil, and seas of blood, 
 Alas ! they all must flow in vain. 
 
 4. Whoe'er to thee themselves approve, 
 Must take the path thy woi-d hath 
 showed ; 
 Justice pursue, and mercy love. 
 And humbly walk by faith with God. 
 
 5 But though my life henceforth be thine, 
 
 Present tor past can ne'er atone ; 
 
 Though I to tliee the whole resign, 
 
 I only give thee back thine own. 
 
 6 "NMiat have I then wherein to trust? 
 
 I nothing have, I nothing am ; 
 Excluded is m.y every boast. 
 My glory swallowed up in shame. 
 
 7 Guilty I stand before thy face ; 
 
 On me I feel thy wrath abide : 
 Tis lust the sentence should take place; 
 Tis just— but thy Son hath died ! 
 
 8 Jesus, the Lamb of God, hath bled ; 
 
 He bore our sins upon the tree ; 
 Beneath our curse he bowed his head ; 
 'Tis finished ! he hath died for me ! 
 
 9 See where before the throne he stands, 
 
 And pouis the all-prevailing prayer ! 
 Points to his side and lifts his hands, 
 And shows that I am graven there.

 Thy gifts I only can re«;eive ; 
 Here, then, to thee I all resign ; 
 
 To draw, redeem, and seal, is thine. 
 
 3 With simple faith on thee I call. 
 
 My Light, my Life, my Lord, my All ; 
 
 I wait the moving of the pool ; 
 
 I wait the word that speaks me whole.

 Make my infected nature pure ;

 And pour thyself into my heart.

 My only refuge is thy grace ; 
 
 No outward form can make me clean, 
 The leprosy lies deep within.

 Whose hope, still hovering round thy 
 
 word, 
 Would light on some sweet promise there. 
 Some sure support against despair.

 And to the healing leaves who come 
 Eternally shall live.

 Who reap the pleasures there ; 
 They all are robed in purest white. 
 And conquering palms they bear. 
 
 4 Adorned by their Redeemer's grace, 
 
 They close pursue the Lamb ; 
 And every shining front displays 
 The unutterable name. 
 
 5 They drink the vivifying stream, 
 
 They pluck the ambrosial fruit. 
 And each records the praise of him 
 Who tuned his golden lute.

 Fall down before his throne.

 And reach the heavenly land.

 We haste again to see,

 To hear his trumpet sound.

 Where congregations ne'er break up. 
 And Sabbaths have no end?

 3 Oer all those -wide-extended plains 
 
 Shines one eternal day; 
 There God the Son forever reigns, 
 And scatters night away.

 Can reach that healthful shore ; 
 Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, 
 Are felt and feared no more. 
 
 5 When shall I reach that happy place 
 
 And be forever blest ? 
 When shall I see my Father's face. 
 And in his bosom rest ?

 And never-withering flowers ; 
 
 Death, like a narrow sea, divides 
 
 This heavenly laud from ours.

 So to the Jews old Canaan stood. 
 
 While Jordan rolled between.

 To cross this naiTow sea ; 
 And linger, shivering on the brink, 
 And fear to launch away.

 Those gloomy thoughts that rise. 
 And see the Canaan that we love 
 With uubeclouded eyes ! 
 
 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood,

 How he called little children as lambs to 
 his fold,

 That his arms had been thrown around

 That I might have seen his kind look 
 
 when he said, 
 " Let the little ones come unto me."

 go. 
 And ask for a share in his love ; 
 And if I thus earnestly seek him below, 
 I shall see him and hear him above :

 prepare. 
 For all who are washed and forgiven ; 
 And many dear children are gathering 
 
 there,

 We a little longer wait. 
 
 But how little — none can know.

 Speedily the mark to find ; 
 As the lightning from the skies 
 
 Darts, and leaves no trace behind; 
 Swiitly thus our fleeting daj's 
 
 Bear us down life's rapid stream ; 
 Upward, Lord, our spiiits raise ; 
 
 All below is but a dream.

 Pardon of our sins renew ; 
 Teach us henceforth how to live 
 
 With eternity in view ;

 And when life's short tale is told. 
 
 May we dwell with him above.

 Mariner's evening hymn. 
 
 8s & 7s. 
 
 OUT on life's dark heaving ocean. 
 Winds and waves around us rave ; 
 In the tempest's wild corajtootion, 
 
 Fj lend of Sinners, shield and save ! 
 "Vain are all our weak endeavours — 
 
 Thou our Guide and Helper be ! 
 
 Star of Hope ! in danger cheer us ; 
 
 Help can only come from thee. 
 
 1 When the storms of fierce temptation 
 
 Wildly sweep across our way, 
 And the night of fear and sorrow 
 
 Quenches every starry ray, 
 Let thy presence, great Redeemer, 
 
 Banish all our guilty fear ; 
 And the joy of thy salvation 
 
 Every fainting spirit cheer. 
 
 5 When the mists of doubt and passion 
 
 Hide the reefs and shoals from sight, 
 God of love protect and save us ! 
 
 Be our Refuge and our Light; 
 Be our sure unerring Pilot, 
 
 Guide us safely to the shore. 
 Where the Avaves of sin and sorrow 
 
 Beat upon the soul no more.

 1 A ND can it be that I should gain 
 J\ An interest in the Saviour's blood ? 
 Died he for me, who caused Lis pain? 
 
 For me, who him to death pursued? 
 Amazing love ! how can it be. 
 That thou, my God, shouldst die for mo? 
 
 2 Tis mystery all ! The Immortal dies ! 
 
 Who can explore his strange design? 
 In vain the first-born seraph tries 
 
 To sound the depths of Love Divine ! 
 'Tis mercy all ; let earth adore. 
 Let angel-minds inquire no more. 
 
 3 He left his Father's throne above ; 
 
 (So free, so infinite his grace !) 
 Emptied himself of all but love, 
 
 And bled for Adam's helpless race : 
 'Tis mercy all, immense and free. 
 For, my God, it found out me ! 
 
 4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay 
 
 Fast bound in sin and nature's night ; 
 Thine eye diffused a quickening ray , 
 
 I woke; the dungeon flamed with light ; 
 My chains fell off, my heart was free, 
 I rose, went forth, and followed thee. 
 
 5 No condemnation now I dread ; 
 
 Jesus, and all in him, is mine! 
 Alive in him, my living Head, 
 
 And clothed in righteousness divine. 
 Bold I approach the eternal throne. 
 And claim the cro>vn through Christ my 
 own.
