I HAVE compiled this book primarily for use in Smiday-Schools and the Home
Circle.
I have selected snch Hymns as I could find most suitable to the wants and
tastes of the young. I have not thought it necessary that they should be child-
ish. It is not childishness, but picturesqeness in a hymn that most interests
children. There will be found, however, some hymns and tunes suitable for the
youngest.
The Tunes are such as seemed, from their familiarity, or their easy melody, or
their congregational chipracter, best suited for the purpose intended. Most of the
good congregational tunes will be found here ; both because it is desirable that
the children should early learn these tunes, that they may afterwards sing them
in the congregation, and because the book is thereby rendered available for
congregational use ; for which also a considerable number of the Hymns are fitted.
The association of Hymns with Tunes is so much a matter of personal taste or
accident, that no arrangement can be made which will not disturb some associa-
tions. I have endeavored to unite them by something more than an arbitrary
relation, so as to justify that permanent union which is desirable.
The Hymns are followed by a selection of Psalms, (in Dr. Noyes's version,)
arranged for alternate reading. I intended to add a series of Scripture Lessons,
selected from the various parts of the Bible ; but have concluded to reserve them
&r a separate volume.
To THE Childsen OP THE Nsw Chapel, this book, prepared first of all for
them, is affectionately dedicated, by their Pastor. He hopes that they will learn
to love its Music and its Hymns ; to sing them in school, at church, and at home ;
to know them by heart / and to cherish the true thoughts and holy feelings
which they express. And often in coming years may these words and melodies,
Associated with happy hours, sacred resolutions, and dear friends, come up in
their memories to comfort and to strengthen them.

ITie Hymn of Nature,
The heavenly spheres to thee, God,
Attune their evening hymn j
All- wise, iJl-holy, thou art praised
In song of seraphim.
Unnumbered systems, suns, and worlds,
Unite to worship thee,
While thy majestic greatness fills
Space, time, eternity.
Nature, a temple worthy thee,
Beams with thy light and love ;
Whose flowers so sweetly bloom below,
Whose stars rejoice above ;
Whose altars are the mountain-oIi£&
That rise along the shore ;
Whose anthems, the sublime accord
Of storm and ocean-roar.
Her song of grati^^^^o is sung
By Spring s awakening hours ;
Her SuDimer offers at thy shrine
Its earliest^ loveliest flowers;
Her Autumn brings its golden finiits^
In glorious luxury given ;
While Winter's silver heights reflect
Thy brightness back to heaven.
On all thpu smil*st ; and what is man
Before thy presence, God ?
A breath — ^but 'tis a breatii from thee,
That makes him nature's lord ;
His body to the earth belongs,
But quickened, Lord, by mee,
His spirit to its Father springs,
To immortality.

"We come, Q-od, with gladness,
Our humble thanks to bring ;
With hearts yet free from sadness^
Our hymns of praise we sing.
Along our path are glowing
The tokens of thy love ;
like streams of boimty flowing
Thy mercies from above.
Health, peace, and joy attend us,
Kind friends are ever near ;
O Father I thou dost send us
Unnumbered blessings here :
And though we, in our blindness,
^joy, but disobey,
Yet stiU, thou, in thy kmdness,
Tak'st not Ihy gifts away.
Here, then, in childhood's morning,
Our hymns to thee we raise ;

In fruits of noble striving
May they spring up again.

" To Gk)d be glory I Peace on earth I"
Let us repeat again
The hymn that haoled the Saviour's birth,-
" Peace and good will to men !"
Good will to men I God, we hail
This of thy law the sum ;
For as this shall o'er earth prevail,
So shall thy kingdom come 1
21.
God I by whom the seed is given.
By whom the harvest blessed ;
Whose word, like manna showered from
Is planted in our breast, — [heaven,
Preserve it from the passing feet^
And plunderers of the air,
The sultry sun's intenser heat,
And thorns of worldly care.
22.
Now that the sun is gleaming bright^
Implore we, bending low,
That He, the uncreated light.
May guide us as we ga
No sinftil word, nor deed of wrong.
Nor thoughts that idly rove ;
But simple truth be on our tongue.
And m our hearts be love.

I was a wayward child,
I did not love my home,
I did not love m j ^Father's vdce,

The Shepherd sought his sheep.
The Father sought his child.

They bound me with the bands of love,
* They saved the wandering one.
I was a wandering sheep.
I would not be controlled,
But now I love my Shepherd's voice,

I was a wayward child,

But now I love my Fatiier's voice,

Gk>D, who is just and kind,
Will those who err instruct,
And to the paths of righteousness
Their wandering steps conduct
Give me the tender heart
That mingles awe with love.
And lead me through whatever path
Thy wisdom shall approve.
Oh I ever keep my soul
From error, shame, and guilt ;
Nor suffer the fair hope to fail,
Which on my youth is built.

Pbayer is the souVs sincere desire,

The motion of a hidden fire

Pi^er is the burden of a sigh,

When none but (&d is near.
Prayer is the simplest ff^Ta of speech
^Hiat infant lips can try :
Prayer, the sublimest strains that readi

Prayer is the contrite sinner^s voice,
Betuming from his ways ;
While ang^ in their songs rejoice.
And cry — " Behdd he prays."

Evening Meditation.
I LOVE to steal awhile away
From every cumbering care,
And spend the hours of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer.
I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore.
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On him whom I adore.
I love by faith to take a view
Of brighter scenes in heaven ;
The prospect doth my strength renew,
While here by tempests driven.
Thus, when life's busy day is o*er,
May its departing ray
Be calm as this impressive hour.
And lead to endless day.

Siknt Prayer,
Sweet is the prayer whose holy stream
In earnest pleading flows ;
Devotion dwells upon the theme,
And warm and warmer glows.
Faith grasps the blessiiigs she desires,
Hope points the upw£^ gaze ;
And loye, untrembling love, inspires
The eloquence of praise.
But no less sweet the still, small Yoice,
Unheard by human ear,
When Otod hath made the heart rejoice,
And dried the bitter tear.
Nor accents flow, nor words ascend ;
All utterance mileth there ;
But listening spirits comprehend,
And Gk>d accepts the prayer.
Ihs Projyer of Trust.
How sweet to be allowed to pray '
To God, the Holy One,
With filial love and trust to say,
God, thy will be done I
We in these sacred words can find
A cure for every ill ;
They cabn and soothe the troubled mind,
And bid all care be still
Oh, let that will, which gave me breath,
And an immortal soul,
In joy or grie^ in life or death,
My every wish control
Oh, teach my heart the blessed way
To imitate thy Son !
Teach me, G^ in truth to pray,

Wisdom has treasures greater fiur
Than east or west unfold ;
Ajid her rewards more predons are

She guides the young with innocence
In pleasures' path to tread ;
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the hoary head.

So her rewards increase ;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness.
And all her paths are peace.

Iihe lasting Trwmtrt,
1 LOTED a song-bird c^ the spring,
I loved its warbling lay ;
But, ah I my siuger spread his wing,
And rose, and soared away.
I loved a butterfly so fair,
With wings all golden bright ;
Among the tulips rich and rare
It wandered from my sight
I loved a rose, I loved it best
Of aU I yet had found;
But when the sun had reached the west^
Its bright leaves strewed the ground.
What can I love that takes not flighty
Nor fades with breeze or blast ?
Oh, love the truth I the truth both bright
And beautiful will last

In virtue's pleasant way.

How may a httle pilgrim dare .
Life's dangerous path to tread,
Since on the way is many a snare
For youthful travelers spread ?
And that broad road T^ere thousands go,
Lies near and opens fair,
And many turn aside, I know,
To walk with sinners there.
But lest my youthful steps should sKp,
Or wander from the way,
Father, Gk>d, be thou my guide,
And I shall never stray.
Then I may go without alarms,
And trust the word of old —
'' The lambs he 'U gati^er in his arms^
And lead them to the fold."

A little family agree ;
And will not slight the praise they bring,
When loving children join to sing.

That hates to quarrel, fret, and tease,
And would not say an angry word, —
That child is pleasing to the Lord.
For love and kindness please him more
Than if we gave him all our store ;
And children here, who dweU in love,
Are like his happy ones above.

Forget thy will and disagree ;
And grant that each of us may find

So let our works ana virtues shine.

When l^e salvation reigns within.
And there subdues tlie power of sin.
Our flesh and sense must be denied,
Passion and envy, lust and pride ;
While justice, temperance, truth, and love^
Our inward piety approve.

While we expect that blessed hope,
The coming of thy kingdom, Lord,
And £uth stands leaning on thy word.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow.
Is our destined end and way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us further than to-day. *
Trust no future, howe'er pleasant ;
Let the dead past bury its dead ;
Act, act, in the living present,
Heart within, and God overhead.

All the beauty Gk>d has given ;
But beware it does not win us
From the work ordained of heaven.
Following every voice of mercy
With a trustmg, loving hearty
Let us in life's earnest labor
Still be sure to do our part
Now, to-day, and not to-morrow;
Let us work with all our might,
Lest the wretched £unt and perish

The gloom of twilight gathers fiist ;
And o'qr the waters h^vily
Sweeps odd and drear Uie evening blast
The weary bird hath left the air
And sank into his sheltered nest ;
The wandering beast has sought his lair,
And kid him down to welcome rest
Still near the lake, with weair tread,
landers a form of human kind ;
And on his lone, unsheltered head,
flows the phiU night-damp of the wind.
Why fleeloi he not a home of rest ?
Why seeks he not the pillowed bed ?
Beasts haye their dens, the bird his nest;-
He hath not where to lay his head.
Such was the lot he freely chose.
To bless^ to save, the human race ;
And through his poverty there flows
A richy full stream of heiE^venly grace.

" Let this Cup pass Jram me,"
A VOICE upon the midnight air,
Where Kedron's moonlit waters stray,
Weeps forth in agony of prayer.
<< Father, take this cup away f"
Ah, thou who sorrow'st unto death,
We conquer in thy mortal fray ;
And earUi for all her children saith,
" GK>d, take not this cup away !"
Kan of sorrows, bravely die;
Thou It heal or hallow all our woe;
Thy peace shall still the mourner's sigh ;
Thy strength uplift the faint and low.
Great chief of fidthful souls, arise ;
None else can lead the martyr band,
Who teach the soul how peril flies,
When fidth, unarmed, uplifts the hand.
O Xing of earth, the cross ascend ;
O'er chmes and ages 't is thy throne ;
Where'er thy fading eye may bend,
The desert blooms and is thine own.

" FatJieVj forgive them"
In the Saviour's hour of death,
Bound upon the cross of fear.
While his quick and struggling breath
Spoke the fatal moment near.
While his proud, triumphant foes
Mocked the sufferings that he bore,
Then his loving spirit rose
More sublime than e'er before.
He has taught us to forgive,
By his words in days gone by ;
He has taught us how to live ;
Can he teach us how to die ?
Listen 1 as the cross they raise.
One brief prayer ascends to heaven ;
For his murderers he prays, —
" Father, may they be forgiven 1"
126.
Sitting at the feet of JesvA,
Mart sat at Jesus* feet;
Sat enwrapt in holy thought ;
Listening to his accents sweet.
Eagerly each word she cauffht
How those accents cahned her hearty
Falling from the lips she loved I —
Thus she chose the better part,
Thus the " one thing needful" proved.
" Raiment do ye need and food,
This your heavenly Father knows ;
But there is a higher good.
Righteousness which he bestows."
Sitting as at Jesus' feet
May those words sink in our heart ;
While we hear the accents sweet.
May we choose the better part

New every morning is the love

Bestored to life, and power, and thought.
New mercies, each returning day,
Do hover round us as we pray ;
New perils past^ new sins forgiven,

Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be
As more of heaven in each we see ;
Some softening gleam of love and prayer
Shall dawn on every cross and care.
The trivial round, the common task,
Will furnish all we ought to ask \
Boom to deny ourself ; a road
To bring us daily nearer God.
Do thou, Lord, in thy dear love
Pit us for perfect rest iJ}ove ;
And help us, this, and every day.
To live more nearly as we pray.

The voice of praise at early morn,
And he accepts the punctual hymn,
Sung as the light of day grows dim.
Nor win he turn his ear aside,
From holy offerings at noon-tide ;
Then here reposing, let us raise
A* song of gratitude and praise.
Look up to heaven I the obedient sun
Already half his race has run ;
He cannot halt nor ^o astray,
But our immortal spuits may.
Lord, since his rising in the east,
If we have faltered or transgressed.
Guide, from thy love's abundant souree,
What yet remains of this day's course.
Help with thy grace, throughout life's day,
Our upward and our downward way ;
And glorify for us the west
When we shall sink to final rest

And Autumn brings her riches now;
Of ripening grain and burstilig shell,
And golden sheaf and laden bgugh

And purple, gold, and scarlet trees

Through leafless boughs the sharp winds blow,
And aJl the earth lies dead and drear.
And yet God's love is not withdrawn;
His lue within the keen air breathes.
His beauty paints the crimson dawn.
And clothes the boughs with glittering wreaths.
And though abroad the sharp winds blow,
And skies are chill, and frosts are keen,
Home closer draws her circle now.
And warmer glows her light within.
God I who giv'st the winter's cold
As well as sunamers joyous rays.
Us warmly in thy love enfold,
And keep us thro' life's wintry days I

How when Jesus was here among men,

I should like to hare been with them then.
I wish that his hands had been placed on my head,
That his arm had been thrown around me,
And that I might haye seen his kind look when he said,
«Let the Httle ones oome unto me."
Yet still to his presence in thouj^t I may go,
And ask for a share of his love ;

Must love them, when dwelling above.

^£2, (mr Shepherd,
The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know;
I feed in green pastures, safe folded I rest;
He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow,
Restores me when wandering, redeems when opprest
Through the valley and shadow of death though I stray,
Since thou art my guardian, no evil I fear;
Thy rod shall defend me, thy staff be my stay ;
No harm can befall with my Comforter near.
In the midst of affliction my table is spread ;
With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o'er ;
With perfume and oil thou anointest my head ;
Ob, what shall I ask of thy providence more ?
Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful Qod,
Still follow my steps tiU I meet thee above *^

Now to our loving Father, God,
A gladsome song begin ;
His smile is on the world abroad,
His joy our hearts within.
We need not, Lord, our gladness leave,
To worship thee aright ;
Our joyfulness for praise receive I
Thou mak^st our lives so bright I
We turn to God a smiling &ce,
He smiles on us again ;
He loves to see our cheerfulness.
And hear our gladsome strain.
The pure in heart are always glad ;
The smile of God they feel ;
He doth the secret of his joy
To blameless hearts reveal

But lowly and simple, in courage serene ;
Bring meekly before him the faith of a child,

I THANK my God, who through the night
Has kept me till the morning light ;
And, Father, now I humbly pray
That thou wilt guard me through the day.
Keep me, Gk)d I from every sin,
Wrong actions and wrong thoughts within
Under thy care my childhood take.
And bless me when I sleep or wake.

God is my fiiend, I need not fear,
For he is good and always near ;
And he will keep me by his power,

One thing there is that I must dread,
And that is sin ; for Grod has said
That they whom he protects from ill
Must love his law, and do his will

Wabd, p. 9.
I USED to think that yonder sky
Was God's own palace bright and high ;
That winged angels, glittering fair.
Were ever singing praises there.
I looked for them in sunset skies,
I thought the stars were their bright eyes
But now I'm glad that when I pray,
God's heaven is not so far away.
I feel the soft and silent air,
And joy to know that God is there ;
And when mv heart to him is given,
I love to think that that is heaven.

Shall the God-given hours be scattered

Shall this heart spend all its treasures

Of bewildering vanity ?
No ; I was not bom to trifle

The bud will soon become a flower.
The flower become a seed ;
Then seize, youth I the present hour,
Of that thou hast most need.
Do thy best always— do it now-
For in the present time.
As in the furrows of a plough,
Fall seeds of good or crime.
The sun and rain will ripen fiist
Each seed that thou hast sown ;
And every act and word at last
Bf its own fruit be known.
And soon the harvest of thy toll
Rejoicing thou shalt reap ;
Or o'er thy wild neglected soil
Go forth in shame to weep.

Mabttv, p. 66w
Felix trembled, long ago,
When the great apostle told
Of the judgment, that should show
What was dross and what was gold
Judgment sure which would not spare
Even the king upon the throne ;
And the stem decision th^re
Must be made by truth alone.
" Go thy ways," the Roman said,
" Till a more convenient time ;"
Thus his soul shook off its dread —
But that season never came.
Ye, who in the flush of youth
Say to conscience, " Go thy ways,"
Think upon this solemn truth,
Life has its sure judgment days.

This is the first and great command —
To love thy God above ;

And both the law and prophets say.
This do, and thou shalt Uve.

Who is thy neighbor f he whom thon

Thy neighbor f he who drinkg the cop

Thy neighbor? 'tis the weary slave,
Fettered in mind and limb ;
He hath no hope this side the grave ;
Go thou and ransom him.

Horrox, p. 95.
Ho I ye that rest beneath the rock,
On pastures greenly growing,
Or roam at will, a favored flock,
By waters gently flowing —
Hear ye upon the desert air,
A voice of woe come crying,
Where, cold upon the bairen moor,
God's little lambs are dying.
See, the great Shepherd bend and call
From fields of light and gloiy :
** Go, feed my lambs and bring them all,
From moor and mountain hoary !''
Ye little flock, the call obey ;
And from the desert dreary.
Lead those who faint along tiie way,
Or wander lost and weary.

TiU they came to a city where they might dwdL
Oh ! that they would praise the Lord for his goodness :
For his wonderful deeds to the children of men.
For he satisfieth them that thirst :
And the hungry fiUeth he with good.
They that go down to the sea in ships :
Who do business on great waters /
These see the works of God :
And his wonders on the deep.
He commandeth and raiseth the stormy wind :
Which lifieih high the waves.
They mount up to the heavens, they sink down to the depths :
Their soul mMtelh with distress.
Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble :
And he saveth them out of their distresses.
He tumeth the storm to calm :
And the tossing waves are stilled.
Then they are glad that they are quiet :
So he bringeih (hem to their desired haven.
Oh ! let them praise the Lord for his goodness :
JFor his wonderful deeds to the children ofm^n 1

And praise him in the great assembly I

For his mercy is forever !
Let the people say, his goodness is forever :
Let all who reverence the Lord now say, his mercy is forever /
I called upon the Lord in trouble :
He heard and set me free.
The Lord is on my side, I will not fear :

It is better to trust in tlie Lord than to put confidenoe in man :
It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.
The Lord is my strength and song : the Lord is my salvation.

That I may go in and bless the Lord/

That thou hast been my safety.

I will lift up mine eyes to the mountains :
From whence doth come my hdp.
My help cometh from the Lord :
who hath made the heavens and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved :
He that heepeih thee will not slumber.
Behold he that keepeth Israel :
Doth neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper :
The Lord is ^y shade on thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day :
Neither the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from aU evil :
He shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thee, going out and coming in :
From this time forth for evermore.
Except the Lord build the house the builders toil in vain :
Except the Lord keep the city iffie watchman waketh in vain.
In vain ye rise up early and go to rest late, and eat the bread of care :
For he giveth to his beloved while they sleep.

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised :
Yea, his greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall praise his works to another:
And shall declare his mighty deeds.
The Lord is gracious and full of compassion :
Jjonff'Suffering^ and most rich in mercy.

Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom :
A fid thy dominion doth endure throughout dU ages.
The Lord upholdeih all that fall :
And raiseth up them that are bowed down.
The eyes of all wait upon thee, O Lord !
And Ghou givest them ihdrjbod in due season.
Thou openest thy hand :
And satisfiest the desires of every living thing.
The Lord is righteous in all las ways :
And holy in all his works.
The Lord is nigh to all who/call upon him :
To all who call on him in truth.
He fulfilleth the desires of them that trust him :
