with pleasant associations, and is already familiar tc a large body of Christians.

It is also no slight consideration that it is directly associated with the memory of one who was among the truest and most devout of the followers of Christ; one who united a singular purity of taste with a most earnest spirit of devotion; and who was, in every way, peculiarly qualified to select a volume of sacred poetry, which should give fit expression to the soul's varied emotions, and which should promote the highest interests of Christianity.

All, therefore, that we have considered desirable, was to add to Mr. Greenwood's collection, such hymns as might give it a more extended usefulness, and adapt it to a wider circle of wants. Many hymns are here added which had not been written when Mr. Greenwood's volume was published; among these are several by Rev. Henry Ware, Jr., whose memory it will ever be interesting to associate with our hymns of praise, and our places of worship. Besides which there will be found additional hymns by Cowper and Watts, Doddridge and Wesley, Montgomery and Bowring. It is hoped that they may prove a useful accompaniment to the valuable collection with which they are here connected. R. C. W.

INDEX OF FIRST LINES.

A.

ACCORDING to thy gracious word
A charge to keep I have.

Again our ears have heard the voice
Again the Lord of life and light
Again we've seen the Sabbath day
Ah, wretched souls, who strive in vain.
All earthly charms, however dear
All hail the power of Jesus' name
All powerful, self-existent God
All-seeing God, 't is thine to know
All ye nations, praise the Lord
Almighty God, in humble prayer.
Almighty God, thy wondrous works.
Almighty God, thy word is cast
Almighty Maker, Lord of all
Almighty Ruler of the skies
Am I an Israelite indeed
Am I a soldier of the cross
Amidst

a world of hopes and fears
Amidst unsatisfied desires

And art thou with us, gracious Lord.
And is the gospel peace and love.
And now, my soul, another year
And shall I sit alone
And will the great, eternal God
Angels! roll the rock away.
Another fleeting day is gone
Another six days' work is done
Another day its course hath run

A

poor way-faring man of grief
As body when the soul has fled
As every day thy mercy spares
A soldier's course from battles won
As panting in the sultry beam.
As pants the hart for cooling streams
As parched in the barren sands
As the hart with eager looks

As the sun's enlivening eye.

X As the sweet flower that scents the morn

As when the weary traveller gains

At thy table, Lord of life.

Attend, ye children of your God
Author of good, we rest on thee

A voice from the desert comes awful and shrill

Awake, my drowsy soul, awake
Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Awake, my soul, lift up thine eyes
Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve
Awake, our souls, away our fears
Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes

Blest be our everlasting Lord

Blest be the everlasting God

Blest day of God, most calm, most bright

Blest hour, when virtuous friends shall meet

Blest Instructer, from thy ways

CALLED by the Sabbath bells away
Calm on the bosom of thy God.
Calm on the listening ear of night
Can creatures to perfection find
Christians, brethren, ere we part
Clay to clay and dust to dust
Come, and before we bid adieu
Come, blessed Spirit, source of light
Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove
Come let us anew our journey pursue
Come, said Jesus' sacred voice

Come sound his praise abroad.

Come thou Almighty King.

Come to the house of prayer

Come we that love the Lord

"Eat, drink, in memory of your friend"
Ere mountains reared their forms sublime

Far from mortal cares retreating

Far from the world, O Lord, I flee

X Father of our feeble race.

Father of light, conduct my feet
Father of lights, thy needful aid
Father of lights, we sing thy name
Father of me and all mankind.
Father of mercies, God of love
Father of mercies, in thy word.

Father of mercies, when the day is dawning

Father of spirits, nature's God.

Father, supply my every need
Father, thy gentle chastisement
Father, to thy kind love we owe
Father, thy paternal care.
Feeble, helpless, how shall I .

G.

GIVE me the wings of faith to rise
Give thanks to God, most high
Give to our God immortal praise
Give to the winds thy fears.
-Glorious in thy saints appear
Glorious things of thee are spoken
Glory be to God on high.
Glory to thee, my God, this night.
Glory to thee, whose powerful word
God in the Gospel of his Son
God in the high and holy place
God is a Spirit just and wise
God is the refuge of his saints.
