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 designa tion 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. 1 UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA Prayer Meeting Hymns. Tune, Coronation.
