PREFACE.

In this issue of Hymns and Anthems, the compiler has had regard to quality rather than quantity. He has selected from the Psalmody in common use such hymns as, for the most part, may be considered direct offerings of Prayer or Praise. Mere rhapsody has been omitted.

He has also taken the liberty of altering the text wherever such alteration would bring the expression, or the idea, more into harmony with modern taste.

The introduction of purely personal hymns into collections for public and congregational use, constitutes a decided objection to most of our existing Hymnals. It is hoped, therefore, that however indiscriminately hymns may be chosen for public worship from the present collection, nothing like unreality will be suggested to the mind of even the most critical.

The Anthems-than which, as offerings of praise in public worship, nothing can be more appropriate -have been selected from the works of our best composers, and will be found easy for any ordinary choir.

HYMNS.

Evening.

ABIDE with me! fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens: Lord, with me abide.

When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me !

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see:

O Thou, Who changest not, abide with me!

Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,

Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee;
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me!

I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's
power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Oabide with me!
