TO THE CHOIR AND CONGREGATION

OF THE CHURCH OF THE HOLY TRINITY, BEDFORD,

THESE TUNES ARE DEDICATED,

WITH THE HOPE THAT THE PUBLICATION MAY FACILITATE

THEIR OBSERVANCE OF THE INSPIRED COMMAND.

"SING YE PRAISES WITH UNDERSTANDING."

PREFACE.

These Tunes, although written for special requirements,

may, I hope, be found generally useful. Each tune was com-

posed for the hymn to which it is here assigned; and my

endeavour has been that the music should, as far as possible,

be a true interpretation of the words. In many cases, however,

other words of a similar character may be appropriately sub-

stituted.

Only let me earnestly impress upon all who use this little

volume, what, in my humble opinion, is the golden rule of

Hymnody, viz., whilst avoiding " all slowness approaching to

a drawl," to be equally careful not to fall into the opposite

extreme.

A double bar is put generally at the end of each line of thehymn, not to indicate a pause, but merely to assist in guiding

the eye.

ALL praise and thanks to God MostHigh,

The Father of all love

!

The God Who doeth wondrously

;

The God Who from above

;

My soul with richest solace fills

;

The God Who every sorrow stills

;

Give to our God the glory

!

The host of heaven Thy praises tell;All thrones bow down to Thee

;

And all who in Thy shadow dwell,In earth and air and sea,

Declare and laud their Maker's might,Whose wisdom orders all things right

:


!

And for the creatures he hath madeOur God shall well provide

;

His grace shall be their constant aid,Their guard on every side.

His kingdom ye may surely trust,There all is equal, all is just

;


!

I sought Him in my hour of need ;Lord God, now hear my prayer!

For death He gave me life indeed,And comfort for despair.

For this my thanks shall endless be

;

Oh, thank Him, thank Him, too, with me

:

LORD ! Thou didst arise and sayTo the troubled waters, " Peace/'

And the tempest died away

;

Down they sank, the foamy seas,And a calm and heaving sleepSpread o'er all the glossy deep

;

All the azure lake sereneLike another heaven was seen

!

Lord ! Thy gracious word repeatTo the billows of the proud

;

Quell the tyrant's martial heat,

Quell the fierce and charging crowd

:

Then the earth shall find reposeFrom its restless strife and woes

And an imag'd heaven appearOn our world of darkness here !

WE saw Thee not when Thou didst tread,In mortal form, this sinful earth,

Nor heard Thy voice restore the dead,And wake them to a second birth :But we believe that Thou didst come,And leave for us Thy glorious home.

We were not with Thee on the wave,When Thou the stormy sea didst bind,Nor saw the health Thy blessing gaveTo lame and sick, to deaf and blind,But we believe the Fount of lightCould give the darken'd eyeballs sight.

We did not see Thee lifted highAmid that wild and savage crew,Nor heard Thy meek, imploring cry," Forgive, they know not what they do :"

Yet we believe the deed was done,Which shook the earth, and veil'd the sun.

We stood not by the empty tombWhere late Thy sacred body lay

;

Nor sat within that upper room,Nor met Thee in the open way :But we believe that angels said," Why seek the living midst the dead ? "

We did not mark the chosen few,When Thou didst through the clouds ascend,First lift to heaven their wondering view,Then to the earth all prostrate bend :But we believe that mortal eyesBeheld that journey to the sides.

And nowT that Thou dost reign on high,And thence Thy faithful people bless,No ray of glory from the skyDoth shine upon our wilderness

:

Yet we believe that Thou art there,And sing Thy praise, and lift our prayer.

YE that stand on hallow'd groundListening to the joyful sound,

Lost and guilty as ye are,Full of sorrow, sin, and care,Glorify the King of Kings,Take the peace the gospel brings.

Men of high and low degree,Children of one family,

Ye whom God hath largely bless'd,Ye whom want hath sorely press' d,Glorify the King of Kings,Take the peace the gospel brings.

Turn to Christ your suppliant eyes,View His perfect sacrifice

;

See in Him your sins forgiven,Follow in His steps to heaven

Glorify the King of Kings,Take the peace the gospel brings.

COME, Thou bright and morning star,Light of light, without beginning,

Shine upon us from afar,That we may be kept from sinning

;

Drive away by Thy clear lightOur dark night.

Let Thy grace, like morning dewFalling upon barren places,

Comfort, quicken, and renewOur parch'd souls and dying graces

;

Bless Thy flock from Thy rich store,Evermore.

May Thy fervent love destroyOur cold works, in us awaking

Ardent zeal and holy joy,

At the purple morn's first breaking :Let us truly rise, ere yet

Life has set.

Ah ! Thou Day-star from on high,Grant that at Thy next appearing,We, who in the grave do lie,

May arise, Thy summons hearing;

And rejoice in our new life,Far from strife.

Light us to those heavenly spheres^Son of Grace, in glory shrouded

;

Lead us through this vale of tears,To the land where days unclouded,

Purest joy, and perfect peace,Never cease.

APILGKIM here I wander,On earth have no abode

;

My fatherland is yonder,My home is with my God.

For here I journey to and fro

;

There in eternal restWill God His gracious gift bestowOn all the toil-oppress' d.

For what hath life been giving,From youth up till this day,

But constant toil and strivingFar back as thought can stray ?

How many a day of toil and care,How many a night of tears,

Hath pass'd in grief that none could share,In lonely anxious fears

!

How many a storm hath lighten'

d

And thunder'd round my path !And winds and rains have frighten'

d

My heart with fiercest wrath :And cruel envy, hatred, scorn,Have darken'd oft my lot

;

And patiently reproach I've borne,Though I deserv'd it not.

Then through this life of dangersI onward take my way

;

But in this land of strangersI do not think to stay

:

But onward on the road I fare,That leads me to my home

;

My Father's comfort waits me there,When I have overcome.

APPROACH, my soul, the mercy-seatWhere Jesus answers prayer

;

There humbly fall before His feet,For none can perish there.

Thy promise is my only plea,With this I venture nigh

;

Thou callest burdened souls to Thee,And such, Lord, am I.

Bow'd down beneath a load of sin,By Satan sorely press'd

;

Fightings without, and fears within,—I come to Thee for rest.

Be Thou my shield and hiding-place,That, shelter'd near Thy side,

I may my fierce accuser face,And tell him Thou hast died.

O wondrous love ! to bleed and die,To bear the cross and shame,

That guilty sinners, such as I,Might plead Thy gracious Name.

LORD Jesus Christ, True Man and God,Who borest anguish, scorn, the rod,

And died'st at last upon the tree,To bring Thy Father's grace to me;I pray Thee through that bitter woe,Let me, a sinner, mercy know.

When comes the hour of failing breath,And I must wrestle, Lord, with death

;

When from my sight all fades away,And when my tongue no more can say,And when mine ears no more can hear,And when my heart is rack'd with fear

;

When all my mind is darken'd o'er,And human help can do no more

;

Then come, Lord Jesus, come with speed,And help me in my hour of need

;

Lead me from this dark vale beneath,And shorten then the pangs of death.

All evil spirits drive away,

But let Thy Spirit with me stayUntil my soul the body leave

;

Then in Thy hands my soul receive,And let the earth my body keep,Till the last day shall break its sleep.

FORGIVE, Lord ! our wanderings past,Henceforth we would obey Thy call

Our sins far from us let us cast,And turn to Thee devoutly all

Then with archangels we shall singHigh praise to heaven's eternal King.

Hear us, God ! in mercy hear,With sorrow we our guilt deplore

Pity our anguish, calm our fear,And give us grace to sin no more

While at Thine altar's foot we kneel,And of Thy holy rite partake,Our pardon, Lord, vouchsafe to seal,For Jesus our Redeemer's sake

LIGHT of light, enlighten me ;Xow anew the day is dawning :

Sun of grace, the shadows flee,Brighten Thou my Sabbath morning

;

With Thy joyous sunshine blest,Happy is my day of rest

!

Fount of all our joy and peace,To Thy living waters lead me

;

Thou from earth my soul release,And with grace and mercy feed me :

Bless Thy word, that it may proveRich in fruits that Thou dost love.

Kindle, Thou, the sacrificeThat upon my lips is lying :

Clear the shadows from mine eyes,That from every error flying,No strange fire within me glowThat Thine altar doth not know.

Let me with my heart to-day,u Holy, Holy, Holy," singing,

Wrapt awhile from earth away,All my soul to Thee up-springing,Have a foretaste inly giv'nHow they worship Thee in heaven.

No. 21. (8,8,6,8,8,6.) Hymn 284.

WHILE we in supplication join,Before the throne of grace divine,

In mercy bow Thine ear

:

And while we listen to Thy word,Or praise Thy Name with glad accord,

Amongst ns, Lord, appear.

Theveil that hides Thy glo y rend,In love and saving power descend,

To visit Thine abode;

Here, to each heart Thy grace reveal,And all who enter cause to feel

The presence of our God.

THROUGH the clay Thy love has spar'd us ;Wearied, we lie down to rest

:

Through the silent watches guard us

;

Let no foe our peace molest

:

Jesus, Thou our guardian be;

Sweet it is to trust in Thee.

Pilgrims here on earth, and strangers,Dwelling in the midst of foes,

Us and ours preserve from dangers,In Thy love may we repose

;

And, when life's sad day is past,Rest with Thee in heaven at last.

SINK not yet, my soul, to slumber

;

Wake my heart;go forth and tell

All the mercies without number,

That this by-gone day befell

;

Tell how God hath kept afarAll things that against me war;

Hath upheld me, and defended,And His grace my soul befriended.

Father, merciful and holy,Thee to-night I praise and bless,

Who, to labour true and lowly,Grantest ever meet success

;

Many a sin and many a woe,Many a fierce and subtle foe,

Hast Thou check'd, that once alarmed me,So that nought to-day has harm'd me.

Yes, our wisdom vainly ponders,Fathoms not Thy loving thought

;

Never tongue can tell the wondersThat each day for us are wrought

;

So Thou'st guided me to-day,That no ill hath cross'd my way

;

There is neither bound nor measureIn Thy love's o'erflowing treasure.

Now the light that all times gladdens,And the pomp of day is gone,

And my heart is tried, and saddens,As the gloomy night comes on

;

Ah ! then, with Thy changeless lightWarm and cheer my heart to-night

;

As the shadows round me gather,Keep me close to Thee, my Father.

Thou mighty God, now hearkenTo the prayer Thy child hath made

;

Jesus, while the night hours darken,

Be Thou still my hope, my aid

;

Holy Ghost, on Thee I call,Friend and Comforter of all,

Hear my earnest prayer, hear me

!

Lord, Thou nearest, Thou art near me.

WHENE'ER again thou sinkest,My heart, beneath thy load,

Or from the battle shrinkest,And mumurest at thy God :

Then I will lead thee thither,To watch thy Saviour's prayer,

And learn from His endurance,How thou shouldst also bear.

wherefore doth His spirit

Such bitter conflict know !What sins, wThat crimes could merit

Such deep and awful woe ?So pure are not the heavens,

So clear no noon-day sun,And yet He saith : " My Father,Thy will not Mine be done."

Oh, mark that night of sorrow,That agony of prayer

:

No friend can watch till morrow,His grief to soothe and share :

Oh, where shall He find comfort ?With God, and God alone

:

And still He saith, " My Father,Thy will not Mine be done."

Hath life for Him no gladness ?No joy the light of day ?

Can He then feel no sadness,When heart and hope give way 2

That cup of mortal anguish,One bitter cry hath won,

That it might pass;yet " Father,

Thy will not Mine be done."

He speaks ; no more He shrinketh :Himself He offers up

;

He sees it all, yet drinketh,For us that bitter cup

;

He goes to meet the traitor,The Cross He will not shun

—

His words were still " My Father,Thy will not Mine be done."

My Saviour, I will neverForget Thy word of grace,

But still repeat it ever,Thro' good and evil days;

And, looking up to heaven,Till all my race is run,

I'll humbly say, " My Father,Thy will not mine be done."

I ask Thee for a|thoughtful love,

joyful smiles,

And wipe the weeping eyes

And a heart at leisure|from itself

I would not have the[restless will,

Or secret thing to know :I would be treated

And guided where I go.

Wherever in the|world I am,

In whatsoe'er estate,I have a fellow

To keep and cultivate,And a work of lowly

|love to do

For the Lord on whom I wait.

So I ask Thee for the|daily strength,

To none that ask denied,And a mind to blend with

"While keeping at Thy side

;

Content to fill ajlittle space,

If Thou be glorified.

And if some things I|do not ask

In my cup of blessing be,I would have my spirit

With grateful love to Thee

More careful, not to|serve Thee much,

But to please Thee perfectly.

There are briars besetting|every path,

That call for patient care

;

There is a cross injevery lot,

And an earnest need for prayer

:

But a lowly heart, that|leans on Thee,

Is happy anywhere.

In a service which Thy | will appoints,There are no bonds for me

For my inmost heart is|taught the truth,

That makes Thy children free;

And a life of self-re | nouncing loveIs a life of liberty.

Our path is marked by changes, and strewed with many a care;

Surrounded with temptation ; by varied ills oppress'd ;Each day's experience warns us that this is not our rest.

We have no home but heaven ;—then wherefore seek one here ?Why murmur at privation, or grieve when trouble 's near ?It is but for a season that we as strangers roam,And strangers must not look for the comforts of a home.

We have no home but heaven ;—we want no home beside;

God, Our Priend and Father, our footsteps thither guide.Unfold to us its glory, prepare us for its joy,Its pure and perfect friendship, its angel-like employ.

We have a home in heaven ; how cheering is the thought

!

How bright the expectations which God's own word has taught

!

With eager hearts we hasten the promised bliss to share

;

We have no home but heaven ;— would that we were there !

No. 39. (8,8,8,4.) Hymn 412.Verses 1, 2, 3, 4.

BY Christ redeemed, in Christ restored,We keep the memory adored,And shew the death of our dear Lord.

Until He come.

His body broken in our stead,Is shown in this memorial bread

—

And so our feeble love is fed,Until He come.

His fearful drops of agony,His life-blood shed upon the tree,The wine shall tell continually,

Until He come.

And thus that dark betrayal nightWith the last Advent we unite,The shame, the glory, by this rite,

Until He come.

HATL, thou bright and sacred morn,Risen with gladness in thy beams !

Light, which not of earth is born,From thy dawn in glory streams :Airs of heaven are breath*d around

And each place is holy ground.

Sad and weary were our way,Fainting oft beneath our load,

But for thee, thou blessed day,Resting-place on life's rough road

!

Here flow forth the streams of grace,•Strengthen'd hence we run our race.

Great Creator ! Who this dayFrom Thy perfect work didst rest;By the souls that own Thy swayHallow'd be its hours and blest

;

Cares of earth aside be thrown,

This day giv'n to heaven alone

!

Saviour ! Who this day didst breakThe dark prison of the tomb,Bid my slumbering soul awake,Shine through all its sin and gloom:Let me, from my bonds set free,Rise from sin, and live to Thee !

Blessed Spirit ! Comforter !

Sent this day from Christ on high;

Lord, on me Thy gifts confer,Cleanse, illumine, sanctify

!

All Thine influence shed abroad

;

Lead me to the truth of God !

Soon, too soon, the sweet reposeOf this day of God will cease

;

Soon this glimpse of heaven w7ill close,Banish soon the hours of peace

;

Soon return the toil, the strife,All the weariness of life.

But the rest which yet remainsFor Thy people, Lord, above,Knows no change, nor fears, nor pains,Endless as their Saviour's love.O may every Sabbath hereBring us to that rest more near !

OCOME, come, Emmanuel,And ransom captive Israel

;

That mourns in lonely exile here,Until the Son of God appear.

Rejoice ! rejoice ! EmmamielShall come to thee, O Israel !

come, Thou Rod of Jesse, freeThine own from Satan's tyranny

;

From depths of hell Thy people save,And give them victory o er the grave.

Rejoice ! rejoice ! EmmanuelShall come to thee, O Israel

!

come, thou Day-Spring, come and cheerOur spirits by Thine Advent here

;

Disperse the gloomy clouds of nightAnd death's dark shadows put to flight.

Rejoice ! rejoice ! EmmanuelShall come to thee, Israel

!

come, Thou Key of David, comeAnd open wide our heavenly home,Make safe the way that leads on high,And close the path to misery.

Rejoice ! rejoice ! EmmanuelShall come to thee, Israel

!

O come, come, Thou Lord of Might

!

Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,In ancient times didst give the law,In cloud, and majesty, and awe.

Rejoice ! rejoice ! EmmanuelShall come to thee, Israel!
