the voices at the same sound or pitch, but the natural tendency will be to get together in this respect, and it will be pleasanter to do so.
1. Thou, who art enthroned above, Thou, in whom we live and move;
2. When the morning paints the skies, When the stars of evening rise,
Sweet it is with joyful tongue, To resound Thy praise in song.
We Thy praises will record, Sovereign Ruler, might Lord.
We have been so accustomed to hear tunes with these hymns, that the monotony of this mode of utterance, although emotional will prevent its being useful. We will, therefore, vary the sound or pitch of the fifth and sixth syllables in each line. We will make them a little higher than the others. This may be presented thus:-
1. Thou, who are enthroned above, Thou, in whom we live and move;
2. When the morning paints the skies, When the stars of evening rise,
Sweet it is with joyful tongue, To resound Thy praise in song.
We Thy praises will record, Sovereign Ruler, mighty Lord!
[The teacher will probably understand that this higher pitch is but one step above the others.]
We will now give another form for the utterance of the first hymn, but it will be easier to tell where these large dots are that note the sounds, if we have a line, on, or above, or below which, we can place them. And now it will not be necessary to print the words higher or lower with the tune, for the dots or notes will show the changes of the words. It should here be said that notes help even those who do not understand music at all, for they are a picture of the tune, and go up or down, or skip around, just as the tune does.
Let us all now join in the next tune, being guided by the notes.
NORTHWEST. 7s.
1. Let us with a joyful mind, Praise the Lord for He is kind;
2. He, with all commandment might, Filled the new made world with light;
3. All things living doth he feed; His full hand supplies their need;
4. Let us with a joyful mind, Praise the Lord for He is kind;
For His mercies shall endure, Ever faithful, ever sure.
For His mercies shall endure, Ever faithful, ever sure.
For His mercies shall endure, Ever faithful, ever sure.
For His mercies shall endure, Ever faithful, ever sure.
In the following hymn we will use a still higher sound; so in the representation we must have another line: --
BLONDEL. 7s.
1. Thou, who art enthroned above, Thou, in whom we live and move;
2. When the morning paints the skies, When the stars of evening rise,
3. Decks the spring with flowers the field, Harvest rich doth autumn yield?
4.Sovereign Ruler mighty Lord, We thy praises will record:
Sweet it is with joyful tongue, To resound thy praise in song.
We thy praises will record, Sovereign Ruler, mighty Lord!
Giver of all good below, Lord, from Thee those blessings flow.
Giver of these blessings, we Pour the grateful song to Thee.
As soon as a form or tune is acquired so that we can use it without effort; we may commence the work of self-improvement; but if we are not accustomed to fix our minds on the words sung, but are more inclined to listen to the tune, we shall find it difficult to concentrate our thoughts as we ought.
We shall be like untrained children at school, who are disturbed and distracted by every unusual sight or sound, and must try many times before we can take the sentiments contained in the words fully into our hearts, and bear them upon our song unobstructed and unhindered, up to the great object of all worship.

6 INTRODUCTORY COURSE
The following hymns and selections are designed to be sung by all the people of an congregation. Not one need be silent, who has the power of speech. That some may not get the sound exactly with the others should not prevent them from joining, for in these simple forms a few times trying will remedy that difficulty in almost every case; and if it does not, the worship is so much more important, that the form is of but little consequence in comparison.
ELVIRA. 7s.
1. All ye nations praise the Lord! All ye lands your voices raise;
2. For his truth and mercy stand, Past, and present, and to be,
Heaven and earth, with loud accord, Praise the Lord--for ever praise!
Like the years of His right hand, Like His own eternity.
BROOKWELL. 8s. & us.
1. Hark! what mean those holy voices, Sweetly sounding through the skies!
2. Hear them tell the wondrous story, Hear them chant by hymns of joy:
3. "Christ is born, the great Anointed, Heaven and earth His praises sing!
Lo! th' angelic host rejoices; Heavenly hallelujahs rise.
"Glory in the highest glory! Glory be to God most high!
Oh receive whom God appointed For your Prophet, Priest and King!
ST. GEORGE. L. M.
1. From all that dwell below the skies, Let the Creator's praise arise;
2. Eternal are Thy mercies Lord, Eternal truth attends Thy word:
Let the Redeemer's name be sung, Thro' every land, by every tongue.
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, Till suns shall rise and set no more.
WHITEWATER. S. M.
1. Oh, bless the Lord, my soul! Let all within me join,
2. Oh, bless the Lord my soul! Nor let His mercies lie
3. 'T is He that heals thy sicknesses, And makes thee young again.
And aid my tongue to bless His name, Whose favors are divine.
Forgotten in unthankfulness, And without praises die.
'T is He that heals thy sicknesses, And makes thee young again.
GRETRY. 8s. & 7s.
1. Savior, breathe an evening blessing, Ere repose our spirits seal:
2. Tho' destruction walk around us, Tho' the arrow near us fly,
3. Tho' the night be dark and dreary, Darkness can not hide from Thee,
4. Should swift death this night o'ertake us, And our couch become our tomb,
Sin and want we come confessing; Thou canst save, and thou canst heal.
Angel guards from thee surround us; We are safe, if thou art nigh.
Thou art He who, ever weary, Watcheth where Thy people be.
May the morn in heaven awake us, Clad in light and deathless bloom
HALCYON. S. M.
1. How gentle God's commands! How kind His precepts are!
2. Beneath His watchful eye His saints securely dwell;
3. Why should this anxious load Press down your weary mind?
4.His goodness stands approved, Unchanged from day to day;
Come, cast your burden on the Lord, And trust His constant care.
That hand which bears all nature up, Shall guard His children well.
Haste to your heavenly Father's throne, And sweet refreshment find.
I"ll drop my burden at His feet, and Bear a song away.

MYRTLE WILL. S. M.
1. While my Redeemer's near, My shepherd and my guide,
2. To ever fragrant meads, Where rich abundance grows,

I bid farewell to anxious fear; My wants are all supplied.
His gracious hand indulgent leads, And guards my sweet respose.
To Thy fair pastures guide my way, And let me rove no more.
LAUREL WOOD. C. M.
1. Our Father, God, who are in heaven, All hallowed be Thy name!
2. Give us this day, our daily bread, And as we those forgive
3. Into temptation lead us not; From evil set us free;
Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, In earth and heaven the same!
Who sin against us, so may we Forgiving grace receive.
And thine the kingdom, thine the power And glory, ever be.
We have here a higher sound, and in the representation will use another line.
ODA. C. M.
1. Oh, that the Lord would guide my ways, To keep His statues still!
2.Oh, send Thy Spirit down, to write Thy law upon my heart;
3. Order my footsteps by Thy word, And make my heart sincere;
4. Make me to walk in Thy commands, 'T is a delightful road;
Oh that my God would give me grace To know and do His will.
Nor let my tongue indulge deceit, Nor act the liar's part.
Let sin have no dominion, Lord, But keep my conscience clear,
Nor let my head, nor heart, nor hands, Offend against my God.
Where two words are sung to one note, they are uttered quicker.
ORVIS. L. M.
1. Sweet is the work, my God, my King, To praise Thy name, give thanks and sing,
2. Sweet is the day of sacred rest; No mortal cares shall seize my breast;
To show Thy love by morning light, And talk of all Thy truth at night.
Oh, may my heart in tune be found, Like David's harp of solemn sound.
LEAVITT. S. M.
1. The Lord my Shepherd is; I shall be well supplied;
2. He leads me to the place Where heavenly pasture grows;
3. If e'er I go astray, He doth my soul reclaim;
4. While He affords His aid, I cannot yield to fear;
Since He is mine and I am His, What can I want beside.
Where living waters gently pass, And full salvation flows.
And guides me in His own right way, For His most holy name.
Tho' I should walk thro' death's dark shade, My Shepherd's with me there.
PALMTREE. S. M.
1. We life our hearts to Thee, Thou Day star from on high;
2. Oh, let Thy rising beams Dispel the shades of night;
3. How beauteous nature now! How dark and sad before!
4. May we this life improve, To mourn errors past;
The sun itself is but Thy shade, Yet cheers both earth and sky.
And let the glories of Thy love, Come like the morning light!
With joy we view the pleasing change, And nature's God adore.
And live this short, revolving day As if it were our last.

1. Brightest and best of the sons of the morning!
2. Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining,
3. Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion,

Low lies his Head with the boasts of the stall;
Odors of Edom and offerings divine?
Vainly with gold would His favors secure;
Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid;
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
Angels adore Him in slumber reclining,
Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean
Richer, by far, is the heart's adoration,
Star of the East, the horizon adorning.
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
Maker, and Monarch, and Savior of all!
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

Break Sovereign Grace! hearts of stone, And give us hearts of flesh.
And hourly, as new mercies fall, Let hourly thanks arise.
CAPULET. 8s & 7s, Double.
1. Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God;

With salvation's wall surrounded, She can smile at all her foes.
Lord, Thy church is still Thy dwelling, Still is precious in Thy sight;
Glorious things of Thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God;
Judah's temple far excelling, Beaming with the gospel's light.
He whose word can ne'er be broken, Choose thee for His own abode.

2. Onward speed thy conquering flight, Angel, onward fly!
3. Onward speed thy conquering flight, Angel, onward speed!
Cast abroad thy radiant light, Bid the shakes recede;
Long has been the reign of night, Bring the morning nigh;
Morning bursts upon our sight. Lo! Let the time decreed:
Tread the idols in the dust, Heathen fanes destroy;
Unto thee earth's sufferers lift Their imploring wall;
Now the Lord His kingdom takes, Thrones and empires fall;

Bear them heaven's holy gift, Ere their courage fall.
Now the joyous song awakes, "God is All in All!"
FARWELL. 8s, 7s & 4.

remove; But no changes Can avert a Father's love.
His sight; God is with thee; God, thine everlasting light.
RECTOR. 7s & 6s.
1. In heavenly love abiding, No change my heart shall fear,
2. Wherever He may guide me, No want shall turn me back:
3. Green pastures are before me, Which yet I have not seen;
And safe is such confiding, For nothing changes here.
My Shepherd is beside me, And nothing can I lack.
Bright skies will soon be o'er me, Where darkest clouds have been:
The storm may roar about me, My heart may low be laid,
His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim:
My hope I cannot measure; My path to life is free;
But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed?
He knows the way He taketh, And I will walk with Him.
My Savior has my treasure, And He will walk with me.
AURANIA. C. M.
1.O happy land, O happy land, Where saints and angels dwell;

We long to join that glorious hand, And all their anthems swell.
No lips untaught may join that song, Or learn the music there.
Now let Thy pardoning grace descend, And take our sins away.
Then we shall meet to sing Thy praises, A ransomed band in heaven.

2. Give us this day, our daily bread, And as we those forgive
3. Into temptation lead us not; From evil set us free;
Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, In earth and heaven the same!
Who sin against us, so may we Forgiving grace receive.
And thine the kingdom, thine the power And glory, ever be.
We have here a higher sound, and in the representation will use another line.
ODA. C. M.
1. Oh, that the Lord would guide my ways, To keep His statues still!
2.Oh, send Thy Spirit down, to write Thy law upon my heart;
3. Order my footsteps by Thy word, And make my heart sincere;
4. Make me to walk in Thy commands, 'T is a delightful road;
Oh that my God would give me grace To know and do His will.
Nor let my tongue indulge deceit, Nor act the liar's part.
Let sin have no dominion, Lord, But keep my conscience clear,
Nor let my head, nor heart, nor hands, Offend against my God.
Where two words are sung to one note, they are uttered quicker.
ORVIS. L. M.
1. Sweet is the work, my God, my King, To praise Thy name, give thanks and sing,
2. Sweet is the day of sacred rest; No mortal cares shall seize my breast;
To show Thy love by morning light, And talk of all Thy truth at night.
Oh, may my heart in tune be found, Like David's harp of solemn sound.
LEAVITT. S. M.
1. The Lord my Shepherd is; I shall be well supplied;
2. He leads me to the place Where heavenly pasture grows;
3. If e'er I go astray, He doth my soul reclaim;
4. While He affords His aid, I cannot yield to fear;
Since He is mine and I am His, What can I want beside.
Where living waters gently pass, And full salvation flows.
And guides me in His own right way, For His most holy name.
Tho' I should walk thro' death's dark shade, My Shepherd's with me there.
PALMTREE. S. M.
1. We life our hearts to Thee, Thou Day star from on high;
2. Oh, let Thy rising beams Dispel the shades of night;
3. How beauteous nature now! How dark and sad before!
4. May we this life improve, To mourn errors past;
The sun itself is but Thy shade, Yet cheers both earth and sky.
And let the glories of Thy love, Come like the morning light!
With joy we view the pleasing change, And nature's God adore.
And live this short, revolving day As if it were our last.

Tread the idols in the dust, Heathen fanes destroy;

The storm may roar about me, My heart may low be laid,
His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim:
My hope I cannot measure; My path to life is free;
But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed?
He knows the way He taketh, And I will walk with Him.
My Savior has my treasure, And He will walk with me.
