APPROVAL BY THE BISHOPS.
To the Committee appointed to revise
the Hymn Book :— '
DEAR BRETHREN—The Bishops, at
their late meeting in Cleveland,’ Ohio,
very thoroughly examined the result of
the labors of the Committee appointed
under authority of the last General Con-
ference, to revise the Hymn Book of
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
1. They went through the entire list
of the hymns in the book now in use
Which the Committee has excluded.
2. They thoughtfully considered ev-
ery revision made in the text of the
hymns which the Committee has re-
tained.
3. They read through carefully, and

in many cases repeatedly, every new
hymn which the Committee has intro«
duced into the Revised Hymn Book.
After the Committee had made a few
changes which the Bishops Suggested,‘
the following resolution was unanimous-
ly adopted, namely :-—-
Resolved, That we have thoroughly
examined, with great satisfaction, the
work of the Cornmittee‘appointed to
revise the Hymn Book. We tender to
the members of that Committee our
thanks; and believe the gratitude of
the Church is due these brethren for
the labor they have expended, and the
wisdom, taste, and good judgment they
have shown in preparing this most ex-
cellent book.
By order, and on behalf, of the
Board of Bishops,

ADDRESS
TO THE
MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH
UNDER the direction of the General Conference of 1876 this
revised edition of our excellent Hymn Book has been pre-
pared. The action of the General Conference, the names of
the Committee selected by the Bishops, and the judgment of
the Bishops asexpressed to the Committee, are herewith pre-
sented. You will note the great care which has marked every
part of the work, whether in rejecting any of the hymns form-
erly used, or in changing their phraseology, or in the selection
of those which are new. Though perfection is not claimed,
yet we believe the present Hymn Book will be considered a.
great improvement on the preceding one.
We most cordially commend it to you as one of the choic-
est selections of evangelical hymns ever published; and we
trust that it will increase the interest of public worship, give a
higher inspiration to social and family services, and aid in pri-
vate meditation and devotion. As it is published by the
authority of the Church, and to meet the wants of the Church,
and as the profits Will be devoted to religious purposes, we do
the more earnestly commend it to your liberal patronage.
We exhort you, dear brethren, to “sing with the spirit”
and “With the understanding also,” “making melody in your
heart to the Lord.”
Your affectionate pastors in Christ,

PREFACETO THE HYMNAL WITH TUNES.
THE Committee appointed by order of the last General Con-
ference to revise the Hymn Book, was also empowered “to
prepare a suitable Hymn and Tune Book for the use of the
Church;” and this book is presented as the result of its labor.
The accepted doctrine of the Church is, that “ every person in
the congregation ought to sing, not one in ten only.” To aid
in securing such a consummation has been the prime purpose
in the mind of the Committee. It has also been a special aim to
prepare a book which would so commend itself to the Whole
Church as to secure uniformity of use in all our congregations,
thus becoming a strong additional bond of union as well as a
powerful stimulus in worship. Such a book is quite as much
needed as a book of hymns alone.
This book has a superiority over our previous works of this
kind- in its exact agreement with the Hymnal in the order and
consecutive numbering of the hymns. The preservation of
this identity has greatly increased the difficulty of adapting all
the hymns to suitable tunes. To accomplish this properly,
Without unduly increasing the size and expense of the book,
was not an easy problem; yet it is believed that very few
hymns will be found Without their appropriate tunes on their
own or on opposite pages. In the few instances where this has
not been practicable, a familiar tune is suggested, with its
page, at the head of the hymn.
The tunes have been taken from the best sources of our own
and other countries. They have been selected from a great
multitude, and from a great variety of authors, and almost
wholly with a view to their availability for congregational use.
They are not mere scientific harmonies, but harmonized melo-
dies. Most of them have been tested by long usage, and have
beCOme indispensable for popular use. Those that are relatively
new will prove, it is believed, as acceptable and popular as the
old. The variety is very broad, and yet the music is mainly
v vi
.— ., “.54“:th
PREFACE TO THE HYMNAL WITH TUNES.
of a solid, enduring kind. Wherever pages that face each
other contain hymns of the same meter it has been the aim to
adapt them to one old tune and one less familiar. The number
of tunes for particular meters will be found very large, and
their character especially excellent. Of the few lighter tunes
in the book, it is sufficient to say that they are married to their
hymns and cannot well be divorced. The dozen or more of
old and fugue tunes that follow the doxologies will be a grati-
fication to many who still enjoy the ancient melodies. The
chants, though not numerous, are those very generally used by
the universal Church; and it is hoped that they may become
more popular and useful among us.
The Committee has been assisted in the preparation of this
book by Dr. Eben Tourjée, of Boston, and Mr. Joseph P. Hol-
brook, of New York, as special musical editors. These names
are a suflicient guaranty that the musical department of the
work has been done in the best possible manner.
We offer a few suggestions for congregational singing :—
Let all provxde themselves with books. Every singer should
have a book to himself. _
Let all sing; generally the melody of the tune.
The minister must take and express deep and constant inter-
est in congregational singing; otherwise it will be a failure.
The chorister must do the same.
There should be a choir or a precentor, and an organ, if
possible, to lead the people. The best arrangement is to have
the choir and organ in front of the congregation.
Frequent gatherings of the congregation in praise-meetings,
and for instruction and practice in learning new tunes, are
very desirable. For the sake of variety and freshness, the
pastor and chorister should make persistent efforts to encour-
age the congregation to learn new tunes. The book should be
the standard book of the Sunday—school, and should be con-
stantly used in the social meeting as well as in the congregation.
In the hope that the work may stimulate all the people to
sing in all the services of the sanctuary, and may contribute
somewhat to the spirituality of divine worship through the
power of sacred song upon the heart, it is respectfully sub-
mitted to the kindly judgment of the Church.

1 LORD of the worlds above,
How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of thy love,
Thine earthly temples, are!
To thine abode my heart aspires,
With warm desires to see my God.
2 0 happy souls that pray
Where God appoints to hear!
0 happy men that pay
Their constant service there!
They praise thee still: and happy they
That love the way to Zion’s hill.
3 They go from strength to strength,
Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each arrives at length.
Till each in heaven appears:
0 glorious seatl thou, God, our King,
Shalt thither bring our willing feet.

1 YOUNG men and maidens, raise
Your tuneful voices high;
Old men and children, praise
The Lord of earth and sky;
Him Three in One, and One in Three,
Extol to all eternity.
2 The universal King
Let all the world proclaim:
Let every creature sing
His attributes and name;
Him Three in One, and One in Three,
Extol to all eternity.
3 In his great name alone
All excellences meet,
Who sits upon the throne,
And shall forever sit ;
Him Three in One, and One in Three,
lixtol to all eternity.
4 Glory to God belongs;
Glory to God be given,
Above the noblest songs
or all in earth and heaven;
Him Three in One, and One in Three,
Extol to all eternity.

Thy everlasting praise we sing.

17 The glory of His grace.
1 LET all on earth their voices raise,
To sing the great Jehovah’s praise,
And bless his holy name:
His glory let the heathen know,
His wonders to the nations show,
His saving grace proclaim.
2 He framed the globe: he built the sky:
He made the shining worlds on high,
And reigns in glory there:
His beams are majesty and light:
His beauties, how divinely bright!
His dwelling-place, how fair!
3 Come the great day, the glorious hour,
When earth shall feel his saving power.
All nations fear his name:
Then shall the race of men confess
The beauty of his holiness,
His saving grace proclaim.

18 God’s glorious presence.
1 THOU God of power, thou God of love,
Whose glory fills the realms above,
Whose praise archangels sing,
And veil their faces while they cry,
“ Thrice holy,” to their God most high,
“ Thrice holy,” to their King;
2 Thee as our God we too would claim,
And bless the Saviour's precious name,
Through whom this grace is given:
He bore the curse to sinners due.
He forms their ruined souls anew,
And makes them heirs of heaven.

19 The praise of Jesus.
1 JESUS, thou soul of all our joys.
For whom we now lift up our voice,
And all our strength exert,
Vouchsafe the grace we humbly claim;
Compose into a thankful frame,
And tune thy people’s heart.
2 While in the heavenly work we join,
Thy glory be our whole design,
Thy glory, not our own:
Still let us keep this end in View,
And still the pleasing task pursue,
To please our God alone.
3 Thee let us praise, our common Lord
And sweetly Join, with one accord. -
Thy goodness to proclaim :
Jesus, thyself in us reveal,
And all our faculties shall feel
Thy harmonizing name.
4 With calmly reverential joy,
0 let us all our lives employ
In setting forth thy love;
And raise in death our triumph higher,
And sing, with all the heavenly choir,
That endless song above.

2O Humble adoration.
1 HEAVENLY Father, sovereign Lord,
Be thy glorious name adoredl
Lord, thy mercies never fail;
Hail, celestial Goodness, hall!
2 Though unworthy of thine ear,
Deign our humble songs to hear;
Purer praise we hope to bring
When around thy throne we sing.
3 While on earth ordained to stay,
Guide our footsteps in thy way,
Till we come to dwell with thee,
Till we all thy glory see.
4 Then, with angel-harps again,
We will wake a nobler strain;
There, in joyful songs of praise,
Our triumphant voices raise.

1 LORD, we come before thee now,
At thy feet we humbly how;
0 do not our suit disdain;
Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain?
2 Lord, on thee our souls depend;
In compassion now descend;
Fill our hearts with thy rich grace,
Tune our lips to sing thy praise.
3 In thine own appointed way.
Now we seek thee, here we stay;
Lord, we know not how to go,
Till a blessing thou bestow.
4 Send some message from thy word,
That may joy and peace aflford;
Let thy Spirit now impart
Full salvation to each heart.

Let the time of joy return;
Those that are cast down lift up:
Make them strong in faith and hope.

Heal the sick, the captive free;
Let us all rejoice in thee.

1 CIIRISTIANS, brethren, ere we part,
Every voice and every heart
Join. and to our Father raise
One last hymn of grateful praise.

Yet there is a brighter shore;
There, released from toil and pain.
There we all may meet again.

Be eternal glory given:
Grateful for thy love divine,
May our hearts be ever thine.

1 NOW may He who from the dead
Brought the Shepherd of the sheep,
Jesus Christ, our King and Head,
All our souls in safety keep.

What is pleasing in his sight;
Make us perfect in his will,
And preserve us day and night.
3 To that great Redeemer’s praise,
Who the covenant sealed with blood,
Let our hearts and voices raise
Loud thanksgivings to our God.

24 Saints and angels praising God.
1 SONGS of praise the angels sang,
Heaven with hallelujahs rang,
When Jehovah's work begun,
When he spake and it was done.
2 Songs of praise awoke the mom,
When the Prince of peace was born:
Songs of praise arose, when he
Captive led captivity.
8 Saints below, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice;
Learning here, by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above.
4 Borne upon their latest breath,
Songs of praise shall conquer death:
Then amid eternal joy.
