ORVI.LLE HICKOK, in the Cieik's Office of the Eastern Dis- trict of Pennsy'vania. PREFACE. The friends of Religion have often felt, and re- gretted the want of a collection of Hymns, adapt- ed, especially, to the prevalence of Revivals, which are so characterise! ck of the present age. To supply the deficiency, at least in some meas- ure, the following compilation is offered to the publick. The work contains a number of Hymns which have been composed sn.ee most Books, now used by the Church, were published. It was desirable that these Hymns, which are distinguished for fervent pi< ty and poetick beauty, should be made to subserve the cause of Religion, by appearing in a collected form. Care baa been taken to give the work a strictly devotional character, and to adapt it to the vari- ous exigencies or' the awakened and enquiring. No Hymns contained in the Lutheran Hymn Book, now in use, have been admitted into this collection ; while many on those subjects in which the former ib not sufficiently full have been added. In regard to the general arrangement, it was impossible, in so small a work, to be strictly rt!-e Scriptures. NOW let my soul, Eternal King! To thee- its grateful tribute bring: My knee with humble homage bow — My tongue perform its solemn vow. al. 2 All nature sings thy boundless love, In worlds below—and worlds above: But in thy blessed word I trace, Diviner wonders of thy grace. 3 There, what delightful truths I read! af. There 1 behold the Saviour bleed: His rarae salutes my listening ear. Revives my heart, and checks my fear. 4 Th -re Jesus bids my sorrows cease, And gives my labouring conscience peace; al. Raises my grateful passions high, And points to mansions in the sky. 5 For love like this, oh ! let my song, Through endless years, thy praise prolong; Let distant climes thy name adore, Till time and nature are no more. r *2.

Hail the blest mom. Birth of Christ. HAIL, the blest morn, see the great Mediator Down from the regions of glory descend! Shepherds, go worship the babe in the manger ; Lo ! for his guard the bright angels attend. 2 Cold on his cradle the dew drops are shining; Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall ; Angels adore him, in slumbers reclining; Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all. 3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion, Odours of Eden, and offerings divine, Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and goid from the mine!* \ Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gold would his favour secure ; Richer, b\ far, is the heart's adoration ; Dearer to God are the prayers of die poor. 5 Low, at his feet, we in humble prostration, Lose all our sorrow, and trouble, and Strife ; There we receive his divine consolation, Flowing afresh from the Fountain of Life! a* 9 9 10, CHRIST. 6 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid ; Star in the east, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer was laid.

His presence shall guide thee, His mercy shall bless, And sanctify to thee Thy deepest distress. 4 When through fiery trials Thy pathway is laid, His grace, all-sufficient, Shall lend thee its aid; The flame shall not hurt thee ; He does but design Thy dross to consume, And thy gold to refine. 5 His people, through life, Shall abundantly prove His sovereign, eternal, Unchangeable love: When age with gray hairs Shall their temples adorn, Like lambs they shall still In his bosom be borne.

Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call thee mine. 2 How art thou pale with anguish, With sore abuse and scorn : How does that visage languish, Which one was bright as morn.
