A TABLE OF FIRST LINES,

SHOWING

WHERE TO FIND

EACH HYMN

BY THE BEGINNING.

A charge to keep I have,
Ah, how shall fallen man,
Alas, what hourly dangers rise!
All glorious God, what hymns of praise,
Almighty Father! bless the word,
Almighty Lord! before thy throne,
Although the vine its fruits deny,
And are we now brought near to God,
And wilt thou, O eternal God,
And will the Judge descend ?
Another six days' work is done,
Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat,
Arise, my soul! with rapture rise!
As panting in the sultry beam,
As when the weary trav'ller gains,
As o'er the past my memory strays,
As the sweet flow'r that scents the morn,
Awake, my soul, and with the sun,
Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve,
Awake, ye saints, awake,
Before Jehovah's awful throne
Begin, my soul, th' exalted lay,
Be joyful in God, all ye lands of the earth,
Be still, my heart! these anxious cares,
Bless'd be thou, the God of Israel,
Bless'd is the man whose soft'ning heart
Bless'd is the tie that binds
Behold the Saviour of mankind

84 Deluded souls ! that dream of heaven,

81 Disown’d of heaven, by man oppress'd,

1 Father of all, whose love profound,

45 Father of mercies ! bow thine ear,

57 Father, to thee, my soul I lift,

14 Father, whate'er of earthly bliss

89 Few are thy days, and full of wo,

108 Fountain of mercy, God of love,

49 From all that dwell below the skies,

59 From Greenland's icy mountains,

61 From whence these direful omens round

38 Glory to thee, my God, this night,

96 Glory to the Father give,

64 God moves in a mysterious way,

9 God of the seas! thine awful voice

67 God of our Fathers ! by whose hand

116 Go forth, ye heralds, in my name

56 “Go preach my gospel,” saith the Lord,

1 Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,

102 Hail, thou long expected Jesus,

25 Hail to the Lord's Anointed,

32 Hark! from the tombs a mournful sound, 108 Hark! the glad sound, the Saviour comes, 24 Hark! the herald angels sing,

27 Hasten, sinner, to be wise;

74 Hear, gracious God, my humble moan,

,

90 Hear what the voice from heaven declares,

71

a

He dies ! the friend of sinners dies !

Page 42

He's come ! let every knee be bent,

44

Heirs of unending life,

120

High on the bending willows hung,

40

How beauteous are their feet

31

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, 82

How long shall earth's alluring toys

113

How helpless guilty nature lies,

13

How oft, alas ! this wretched heart

35

How short the race our friend has run,

72

How wondrous and great

62

I love thy kingdom, Lord,

16

In loud exalted strains,

22

Inspirer and hearer of prayer,

99

I would not live alway; I ask not to stay 107

Jesus! and shall it ever be,

100

Jesus, my strength, my hope,

101

Jesus, Saviour of my soul,

81

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

58

Joy is a fruit that will not grow

84

Let heaven arise, let earth appear,

3

Let worldly minds the world pursue,

99

Like Noah's weary dove,

15

Lord ! dismiss us with thy blessing,

24

Lord! for the just thou dost provide,

68

Lord, how delightful 'tis to see

65

Lord, my God, I long to know,

85

Lord of life, all praise excelling,

66

Lord! unafflicted, undismay'd,

92

Lo! what a cloud of witnesses,

121

Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise thee

85

Mercy, descending from above,

65

My God, and is thy table spread?

54

My God, permit me not to be

34

My God, since thou hast rais'd me up,

71

My grateful soul, for ever praise,

13

My op’ning eyes with rapture see

23

My Saviour hanging on the tree,

38

Not to the terrors of the Lord,

17

Now from the altar of our hearts,

98

Now may the God of grace and pow'r

48

Now the shades of night are gone;

96

O’er mountain tops the mount of God

33

O happy day, that stays my choice

52

O happy is the man who hears

117

O for a closer walk with God,

104

O Holy, holy, holy Lord,

Page 45 O, in the morn of life, when youth

53 O let triumphant faith dispel,

80 On Zion, and on Lebanon,

60 O Spirit of the living God

59 O that my load of sin were gone!

78 O thou that hear'st when sinners cry,

77 O thou, to whose all-searching sight

36 Our Lord is risen from the dead,

43 O where shall rest be found !

112 Peace, troubled soul, whose plaintive moan 74 Praise to God, immortal praise,

48 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,

76 Rich are the joys which cannot die,

66 Rise, crown'd with light, imperial Salem rise ! 31 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings,

82 Rise, O my soul, the hours review,

79 Rock of ages ! cleft for me,

79 Salvation doth to God belong,

50 Salvation ! O the joyful sound,

11 Saviour, source of every blessing,

12 Saviour, when in dust, to thee

33 Saviour! when night involves the skies,

93 Saviour! who thy flock art feeding,

50 See, in the vineyard of the Lord,

29 Seek, my soul, the narrow gate,

112 Should nature's charms, to please the eye,

115 Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing ;

27 Since Christ our Passover is slain,

40 Since I've known a Saviour's name,

106 Sing, my soul, his wondrous love,

14 Sinner ! rouse thee from thy sleep,

121 Sinners, turn, why will ye die?

73 Softly now the light of day

98 Soldiers of Christ arise,

51 Songs of praise the angels sang,

88 Stay, thou insulted Spirit, stay,

78 Sov'reign Ruler of the skies,

8 The day is past and gone;

98 The gentle Saviour calls

51 The God of Abraham praise,

86 The God of life, whose constant care

29 The Lord my pasture shall prepare,

6 The Lord will happiness divine,

104 The mighty flood that rolls

109 The morning flowers display their sweets, 117

The race that long in darkness pin'd

Page 28 The Saviour, when to heaven he rose,

57 There is a land of pure delight,

114 : The spacious firmament on high,

5 The Spirit in our hearts,

75 This is the day the Lord hath made,

20 Thou art the way; to thee alone

120 Though I should seek to wash me çlean

10 Thou, God, all glory, honour, power,

54 Thus speaks the High and Lofty One;

119 Time hastens on: ye longing saints

28 'Tis finished; so the Saviour cried;

39 'Tis my happiness below,

105 To Jesus, our exalted Lord,

55 To our Redeemer's glorious name,

12 To thee let my first off'rings rise,

95 To thy temple I repair;

23 Triumphant Zion ! 'lift thy head

19 Vital spark of heavenly flame!

109 We give immortal praise

46 Welcome, sweet day of rest,

20 When all thy mercies, O my God,

7 When dangers, woes, or death are nigh,

69 When gath'ring clouds around I view,

91 Whene'er the angry passions rise,

102 When I can read my title clear

83 When I survey the wondrous cross,

37 When Jesus left his heavenly throne,

64 When, Lord, to this our Western land,

60 When, rising from the bed of death,

110 When, streaming from the eastern skies,

92 When those we love are snatch'd away,

72 When through the torn sail the wild tempest, &c.

68 When we are rais'd from deep distress,

70 While angels thus, O Lord, rejoice,

26 While shepherds watch'd their flocks by night,

25 While thee I seek, protecting power,

105 With joy shall I behold the day

18 Witness, ye men and angels, now

52 Who are these in bright array

?

115 Who is this that comes from Edom,

36 Why mournest thou, my anxious soul,

118 Ye faithful souls who Jesus know,

41 Ye fields of light, celestial plains,

4 Ye humble souls, approach your God,

75 Youth, when devoted to the Lord
