The demand for this book has been so great that it has been found necessary to issue a new edition, in larger type and of larger size. This present edition will be acceptable to many who may have thought the other too small. It is of the same size as “The Prayer Meeting Tune Book,” which has been prepared as a companion to it, and can be had either bound with that book, or separately, as may be preferred. The names of the tunes which are at the head of each hymn in this edition refer to the tunes in the “PRAYER MEETING TUNE Book.” This designation of tunes is intended to serve as a convenience to those who lead the singing. Only one tune is designated to each hymn. This is not to convey the idea that no other tune is suitable for the hymn, but merely to point out a tune which is suitable. These selections have been carefully made, and in making them, the hymns have been repeatedly sung with the tunes, the names of which are here affixed to them, to test their appropriateness. The book, with its companion, the Prayer Meeting Tune Book, goes forth anew on its mission of usefulness. May it continue to be greatly blest to the strengthening of the Lord's people, and the awakening of unbelievers. September, 1859. UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA 1 Tune, Coronation. C.M. “King of kings and Lord of lords." Rev. xix. 16. Let angels prostrate fall; And crown him Lord of all. 2 Ye chosen seed of Israel's race, A remnant weak and small ! And crown him Lord of all. The wormwood and the gall; And crown him Lord of all. 4 May we with heaven's rejoicing throng, Before his presence fall, And crown him Lord of all! Tune, Webb. 2 7,6. “Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many." HEB. ix. 28, I LAY my sins on Jesus, From the accursed load. To wash my crimson stains Till not a spot remains. All fulness dwells in him; He doth my soul redeem. My burdens and my cares; He all my sorrow shares. This weary soul of mine; I on his breast recline. Immanuel, Christ, the Lord; His name abroad is poured. Meek, loving, lowly, mild; The Father's holy child. Amid the heavenly throng, To learn the angels' song. Tune, Blendon. 3 L. M. "I know that my Redeemer liveth.” Job xix. 25. I KNOW. that my Redeemer lives : What comfort this sweet sentence gives ! He lives, he lives, who once was dead, He lives, my ever living head. He lives to plead for me above, He lives to help in time of need. 3 He lives to silence all my fears, He lives to wipe away my tears, He lives, all blessings to impart. 4 He lives, all glory to his name! He lives, my Jesus, still the same; Tune, Duke Street. JEST 4 L. M. “Whosoever shall deny me before men, bim will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." Matt. x. 33. A mortal man ashamed of thee? Whose glories shine through endless days ! 2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star; 3 Ashamed of Jesus! that dear friend On whom my hopes of heaven depend? That I no more revere his name. 4 Ashamed of Jesus! Yes, I may, When I've no guilt to wash away,- No fears to hush, no soul to save. Till then I boast a Saviour slain ! Tune, Otto. 5 8, 7. “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ ?” Rom. viii, 35. HA AIL! my ever blessed Jesus, Only thee I wish to sing; To my soul thy name is precious, Thou my Prophet, Priest, and King. 2 0 what mercy flows from heaven! O what joy and happiness! I'm a miracle of grace. Unconcerned in sin I lay; Swift destruction still pursuing, Till my Saviour passed that way. 4 Witness, all ye hosts of heaven, My Redeemer's tenderness; I'm a miracle of grace. |
