among them being marked with the letter C. We have not limited the number of hymns to the number of tunes, nor to the number that would occupy the page set opposite to the musical arrangement; but to make the selection sufficiently wide and various, we have enlarged the volume by some ninety pages of additional hymns, besides those accompanied with an appropriate melody. For these additional hymns one tune is in every case pointed out as particularly adapted to each, and the page is referred to, so that it can be used or not, at discretion. The volume is commended, trusting in the divine blessing, to churches, households, and Christian hearts. We take this opportunity to offer our grateful acknowledgments to Mr. Lowell Mason and others, for permission to use their popular and valuable tunes. 1. FROM all who dwell below the skies, Let the Redeemer's name be sung 2. Eternal are thy mercies, Lord; Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, Watts. 1. COME, O my soul, in sacred lays 4. Raised on devotion's lofty wing, Do thou, my soul, his glories sing; And let his praise employ thy tongue, Till listening worlds shall join the song. Blacklock. 1. JEHOVAH reigns; his throne is high; His glory shines with beams so bright, 2. His terrors keep the world in awe; grace. 3. Through all his works his wisdom shines, 3. L. M. Praise for the Gospel. 3. There what delightful truths I read! Watts. Till time and nature are no more. Heginbotham. 4. L. M. Nature and Scripture compared. 1. THE heavens declare thy glory, Lord, 2. The rolling sun, the changing light, And nights and days thy power confess; 3. Sun, moon, and stars convey thy praise It touched and glanced on every land. 4. Nor shall thy spreading gospel rest, Till through the world thy truth has run; That see the light or feel the sun. |
