FOREWORD
E4

IN 1903 thousands of persons sent me their
pledge to learn a hymn to be published in the .
papers once a fortnight. Having crossed the
wide Paciﬁc, and going into Manila in October
of that year, a steam yacht put off to meet us.
The crowd on board was dressed in white, and
we wondered who they could be, till they struck
up the memory hymn of the week:

“There’s a wideness in God’s mercy,

Like the wideness of the sea.”

In ManilaI heard 1,700 Christians sing, like
the voice of many waters, in a general Love
Feast. They had but thirty-six hymns translated
into their language, but they knew them all.
Thirty—six hymns known are better than a thou-
sand not known.

The ﬁrst thing a pious Jew taught his child
was that glorious Shema, Deut. vi, 4: “Hear,
O Israel: The Lord, our God, is one God: and
thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
might.” Doubtless it was the ﬁrst word of the
Hebrew Scriptures that Jesus learned. The
essence of Scripture has sung itself into over

thirty thousand hymns. One a week treasured
in the mind is worth the Whole thirty thousand

treasured in a book.

The hymns of this book are arranged in a
deﬁnite order, and give a system of theology, the
plan of salvation, the expression of a perfect

faith, a guide for life and a glimpse of glory.
The future rectitude and happiness of those
who have such sentiments and songs singing in
their hearts might be almost guaranteed.
This book should be put into the hands of
individuals, families, classes, etc.

MAJESTY AND
PROVIDENCE

THE Lord our God is clothed with might,
The winds obey His will;

He speaks, and in His heavenly height,
The rolling sun stands still.

Rebel, ye waves, and o’er the land
With threatening aspect roar;
The Lord uplifts His awful hand,
And chains you to the shore.

Ye winds of night, your force combine;
Without His high behest,

Ye shall not, in the mountain pine,
Disturb the sparrow’s nest.

His voice sublime is heard afar;
In distant peals it dies;

He yokes the whirlwind to His car,
And sweeps the howling skies.

Ye nations, bend, in reverence bend;
Ye monarchs, wait His nod;

And bid the choral song ascend
To celebrate our God.

Though friends should all fail, and foes all unite, '
Yet one thing secures us, Whatever betide,

The promise assures us, “The Lord will provide.”

From them let us learn to trust for our bread:
His saints what is ﬁtting shall ne’er be denied,

So long as ’t is written, “The Lord will provide.”
No strength of our own, nor goodness we claim,

‘ Our trust is all thrown on Jesus’ name:

in this our strong tower, for safety we hide;

The Lord is our power, “ The Lord will provide.”

When life sinks apace, and death is in View,

The word of His grace shall comfort us through:
Not fearing nor doubting, with Christ on our side,
We hope to die shouting, “The Lord will provide.”

THE HEART’S RESPONSE
TO THE CROSS

WHEN I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ, my God;

All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacriﬁce them to His blood.

See, from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love ﬂow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

SHOUT THE VICTORY
OVER DEATH

LIFT your glad voices in triumph on high,
For Jesus hath risen, and man can not die;

Vain were the terrors that gathered around Him,
And short the dominion of death and the grave;
He burst from the fetters of darkness that bound Him,

Resplendent in glory to live and to save!
Loud was the chorus of angels on high,
The Saviour hath risen, and man shall not die.

Glory to God, in full anthems of joy;
The being He gave us death can not destroy:
Sad were the life we must part with to-morrow,
If tears were our birthright and death were our end;
But Jesus hath cheered the dark valley of sorrow,
And bade us, immortal, to heaven ascend:

Lift then your voices in triumph on high,
For Jesus hath risen, and man shall not die.

Which, at the mercy-seat of God,
Forever doth for sinners plead,

THE King of love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never;

I nothing lack if I am His,
And He is mine forever.

Where streams of living water ﬂow,
My ransomed soul He leadeth,
And, Where the verdant pastures grow,

With food celestial feedeth.

Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love He sought me,
And on His shoulder gently laid,

And home, rejoicing brought me.

In death’s dark vale I fear no ill
With Thee, dear Lord, beside me;

Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.

And so through all the length of days,
Thy goodness faileth never;

Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
Within Thy house forever?

MAKE HIS PRAISE
GLORIOUS

O COULD I speak the matchless worth,
0 could I sound the glories forth,
Which in my Savior shine,
I’d soar and touch the heavenly strings,
And Vie with Gabriel while he sings,
In notes almost divine.

I’d sing the precious blood He spilt,

My ransom from the dreadful guilt
Of sin, and wrath divine;

I’d sing His glorious righteousness,

In which all-perfect, heavenly dress,
My soul shall ever shine.

I’ d sing the characters He hears,

And all the forms of love He wears,
Exalted on His throne;

In loftiest songs of sweetest praise,

I would to everlasting days

Make all His glories known.

Well, the delightful day will come

When my dear Lord will bring me home,
And I shall see His face;

Then with my Savior, Brother, Friend,

A blest eternity I ’ll spend,
Triumphant in His grace.

Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;

Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.

Take my voice, and let me sing,
Always, only, for my King.

Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold;

Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use

Every power as Thou shalt choose.

Take my will, and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart, it is Thine own ;
It shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I will be

Ever, only, all for Thee.

CHRISTIAN
COURAGE >14

WORKMAN of God! 0 lose not heart
But learn what God is like;

And in the darkest battleﬁeld
Thou shalt know Where to strike.

Thrice blest is he to whom is given
The instinct that can tell
That God is on the ﬁeld, when He

Is most invisible.

Blest too is he who can divine
Where real right doth lie,

And dares to take the side that seems
Wrong to man’s blindfold eye.

Then learn to scorn the praise of men,
And learn to lose with God;
For Jesus won the world through shame,

And beckons thee His road.

BORN 1857

This is a rugged bymzz, knotted like
the muscles ofa torso of Hercules. This
Presbyterian autizor used to express his
whole nature by saying, rwhen introduced
to a stranger, “IV/lat can Ido for you 3’”
[1e bad strength to spare. He patterned
after Him rw/zo came not to be ministered

BE strong!
We are not here to play, to dream, to drift,
We have hard work to do, and loads to lift.
Shun not the struggle, face it, ’tis God’s gift.

Be strong!
Say not the days are evil—Who ’s to blame?
And fold the hands and acquiesce—O shame 1

Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God’s name.

Be strong!
It matters not how deep intrenched the wrong,
How hard the battle goes, the day how long;

Faint not, ﬁght on! To-morrow comes the song.

The author was a Presbyterian min-
ister in Boston and elsewhere. Prabably
human feelings never rise t0 sue/z inten‘
sity as in battle. Hence the Scriptures
urge to “put on the armor,” ”ﬁg/2t
t/ze goodﬁg/zt,“ etc. So hymns ring suit/'1
tlze stress of battle.

THE SPIRITUAL
WARFARE

SOLDIERS of the cross, arise!

Lo! your Leader from the skies

Waves before you glory’s prize,
The prize of Victory.

Seize your armor, gird it on ;

Now the battle will be won;

See, the strife will soon be done;
Then struggle manfully.

Jesus conquered when He fell,
Met and vanquished earth and hell;
Now He leads you on to swell
The triumphs of His cross.
Though all earth and hell appear,
Who will doubt, or who can fear?
God, our strength and shield, is near;
We can not lose our cause.

Onward, then, ye hosts of God!
Jesus points the Victor’s rod;
Follow where your Leader trod:
You soon shall see His face.
Soon, your enemies all slain,
Crowns of glory you shall gain
Soon you ’ll join that glorious train
Who shout their Saviour’s praise.

THEY FOLLOW THE LAMB WHITH-
ERSOEVER HE GOETH

THE Son of God goes forth to war,
A kingly crown to gain:

His blood-red banner streams afar;
Who follows in His train?

Who best can drink His cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain,

Who patient bears His cross below,
He follows in His train.

The martyr ﬁrst, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave,

Who saw his Blaster in the sky,
And called on Him to save:

Like Him, with pardon on his tongue,
In midst of mortal pain,

He prayed for them that did the wrong;
Who follows in His train?

A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came,

Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,
And mocked the cross and ﬂame;

They climbed the steep ascent of heaven
Through peril, toil, and pain:

0 God, to us may grace be given
To follow in their train.

MY country, ’tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing:
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrim’s pride,
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring!

My native country, thee,
Land of the noble, free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,

And ring from all the trees,
Sweet freedom’s song:

Let mortal tongues awake;

Let all that breathe partake;

Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.

Our fathers’ God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom’s holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King.

O SPIRIT of the living God i
In all thy plenitude of grace,
Where’er the foot of man hath trod,
Descend on our apostate race.

Give tongues of ﬁre and hearts of love
To preach the reconciling word ;

Give power and unction from above,
Whene’er the joyful sound is heard.

Be darkness, at Thy coming, light;
Confusion, order, in Thy path;

Souls Without strength, inspire with might ;
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.

Baptize the nations; far and nigh
The triumphs of the cros
