INDEX OF FIRST LINES.

 

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide, 56

A charge to keep I have, 403

A few more years shall roll, 486

Again our earthly cares we leave, 40

Ah! how shall fallen man, 178

Alas! and did my Savior bleed, 121

All hail the power of Jesus' name, 154

"Almost persuaded," now to believe,        221

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound, 332

Am I a soldier of the cross, 426

Amid the trials which I meet, 353

And are we yet alive, 473

And can I yet delay, 236

And let our bodies part, 472

And let this feeble body fail, 494

And must I be to judgment brought, 509

An earthly temple here we raise, 540

Angel, roll the rock away, 144

Angels rejoiced and sweetly song, 102

A pilgrim through this lonely world, 107

Approach my soul the mercy seat, 240

Are there no wounds for me, 127

Are you Christ's light-bearer, 421

Are you weary, are you heavy hearted, 399

Arise, my soul, arise, 196

Arise, O King of grace, arise, 535

Arise, ye saints, arise, 425

Arm of the Lord, awake, awake, 450

Ascend thy throne, almighty King, 449

As fade the stars at morn away, 504

Ask ye, what great thing I know, 313

Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep, 489

As pants the hart for cooling stream, 349

Astonished and distressed, 179

A throne of grace! then let us go, 392

Awake and sing the song, 301

Awake, awake, the sacred song, 290

Awake, my soul, and with the sun, 52

Awake, my soul, awake, my tongue, 5

Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve, 401

Awake, my soul, to joyful lays, 319

 

Before Jehovah's awful throne, 3

Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme, 72

Behold a stranger at the door, 202

Behold! the blind their sight receive, 111

Behold the heathen waits to know, 451

Behold! the morning sun, 64

Behold the throne of grace, 398

Behold what wondrous grace, 337

Behold where, in the Friend of man, 115

Beneath thy cross I lay me down, 139

Blessed be thy love, dear Lord, 302

Blest be the Father and his love, 76

Blest be the tie that binds, 471

Blest is the man whose heart doth move, 410

Blest is the man, whose softening heart, 402

Blow ye the trumpet, blow, 195

Bread of heaven, on thee we feed, 477

Broad is the road that leads to death, 227

Buried in shadows of the night, 184

By cool Siloam's shady rill, 533

By thy birth, and by thy tears, 130

 

Called to the feast by the King are we, 230

Calm on the listening ear of night, 97

Cast thy burden on the Lord, 380

Cast thy burden on the Lord, 366

Children of the heavenly King, 298

Christ has for sin atonement made, 199

Christ the Lord is risen to-day, 143

Church of the ever-living God, 434

Come at the morning hour, 397

Come, dearest Lord, and feed thy sheep, 45

Come, every soul, by sin oppressed, 246

Come, Holy Ghost, in love, 164

Come, Holy Spirit, come, 174

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, 166

Come, humble sinner, in whose breast, 211

Come in, beloved of the Lord, 469

Come in, thou blessed of the Lord, 467

Come, let us all unite to praise, 289

Come, let us all unite to sing, 93

Come, let us anew, 548

Come, let us join the songs of praise, 155

Come, let us sing the song of songs, 306

Come, my soul, thy suit prepare, 394

Come, oh, my soul, in sacred lays, 8

Come, says Jesus' sacred voice, 206

Come, sound his praise abroad, 21

Come, thou Almighty King, 75

Come, thou Fount of every blessing, 338

Come, thou long-expected Jesus, 159

Come to Jesus, come to Jesus, 218

Come to the cross where the Savior, 135

Come to the blood-stained tree, 198

Come, we that love the Lord, 415

Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye, 374

Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, 223

Come ye that know and fear the Lord, 91

Command thy blessing from above, 39

Complete in thee! no work of mine, 344

Crown him with many crowns, 300

Crown his head with endless blessing, 162

 

Daughter of Zion, from the dust, 433

Days and moments quickly flying, 487

Deep in our hearts let us record, 138

Delay not, delay not; oh sinner, 216

Depth of mercy! can there be, 194

Did Christ o'er sinners weep, 128

Do not I love thee, oh, my Lord, 293

Do you hear the Savior calling, 237

Do you slumber in your tent, 537

Down at the cross where my Savior died, 329

Down in the valley with my Savior, 375

Drooping souls! no longer mourn, 225

 

Earth has nothing sweet or fair, 299

Ere mountains reared their forms, 84

Eternal Spirit! by whose power, 170

Eternal Wisdom, thee we praise, 89

Ever would I fain be reading, 114

 

Fade, fade, each earthly joy, 312

Fading, still fading, the last beam, 60

Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n, 357

Father, I stretch my hands to thee, 238

Father of mercies, in thy word, 68

Father, whate'er of earthly bliss, 365

Fling out the banner! let it float, 452

Forever here my rest shall be, 256

Forever with the Lord, 527

For thee, O dear, dear country, 511

From all that dwell below the skies, 4

From brightest crystal fountain, 539

From Calvary a cry was heard, 118

From every stormy wind that blows, 384

From Greenland's icy mountains, 455

From the cross uplifted high, 208

 

Give me the Bible, star of gladness, 63

Give to the winds thy fears, 363

Glorious things of thee are spoken, 443

Glory be to the Father, 1-2

God be with you till we meet again, 61

God bless our native land, 543

God is love, his mercy brightens, 87

God is my strong salvation, 429

God is the refuge of his saints, 356

God moves in a mysterious way, 81

God of my life! through all my days, 9

God of our salvation! hear us, 34

God of the universe, to thee, 534

Go, labor on, spend and be spent, 406

Go, labor on, while it is day, 409

Go, messenger of peace and love, 448

Go, preach the blest salvation, 458

Grace! 'tis a charming sound, 336

Gracious Spirit, love divine, 172

Great God! attend while Zion sings, 35

Great God, how infinite art thou, 74

Great God, when I approach thy throne, 122

Great God, whose universal sway, 454

Great Spirit, by whose mighty pow'r, 167

Guide me, O thou great Jehovah, 362

 

Hail! great Creator, wise and good, 15

Hail! holy, holy, holy Lord, 90

Hail! morning known among the blest, 148

Hail, my ever blessed Jesus, 163

Hallelujah! song of gladness, 26

Hark! ten thousand harps and voices, 151

Hark the glad sound! the Savior comes, 99

Hark, the herald angels sing, 101

Hasten, sinner! to be wise, 205

Have you been to Jesus for the, 282

He knows the bitter, weary way, 379

He leadeth me! oh, blessed tho't, 371

Here I can firmly rest, 361

He wills that I should holy be, 263

Holy Bible, book divine, 65

Holy Ghost, dispel our sadness, 177

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty, 18

Holy Spirit, faithful Guide, 171

Holy Spirit, Fount of blessing, 176

Hosanna to the Prince of light, 142

Hover o'er me, Holy Spirit, 175

How beauteous on the mountains, 460

How blest the hour when first we gave, 474

How blest the righteous when he dies, 490

How charming is the place, 30

How did my heart rejoice to hear, 42

How firm a foundation, ye saints, 369

How gentle God's commands, 335

How beauteous were the marks divine, 108

How heavy is the night, 180

How helpless guilty nature lies, 181

How pleasant, how divinely fair, 37

How precious is the book divine, 69

How sad it would be, if when thou, 229

How sad our state by nature is, 182

How shall the young secure their hearts, 70

How solemn are the words, 250

How sweet, how heavenly is the sight, 468

How sweetly breaks the Sabbath dawn, 46

How sweetly flowed the gospel's sound, 109

How sweet the name of Jesus, 295

How sweet to leave the world awhile, 36

How tedious and tasteless the hours, 324

How tender is thy hand, 383

How vast, how full, how free, 189

 

I am coming to the cross, 274

I am dwelling on the mountain, 285

I am thine, O Lord, I have heard, 280

I cannot always trace the way, 355

I cannot do without thee, 272

I gave my life for thee, 134

I have found a friend in Jesus, 328

I have found redemption, 245

I have found repose for my weary soul, 373

I heard the voice of Jesus say, 334

I hear the Savior say, 197

I hear thy welcome voice, 317

I know that my Redeemer lives, 149

I love to steal awhile away, 388

I love to tell the story, 419

I love thy kingdom, Lord, 435

I need thee every hour, 326

I saw a way-worn, trav'ler, 525

I sing th' almighty pow'r of God, 79

I stand, but not as once I did, 243

I think when I read that sweet story, 532

I want to be a worker for the Lord, 413

I will sing you a song of that beautiful, 526

I would not live alway; I ask not to stay, 496

In God I have found a retreat, 378

In heavenly love abiding, 345

In some way or other, 367

In stature grows the heavenly child, 106

In the cross of Christ I glory, 131

In the Christian's home in glory, 519

In thy cleft, O Rock of Ages, 350

In thy name, O Lord! assembling, 32

In thy service will I ever, 268

In vain in high and holy lays, 116

It came upon the midnight clear, 94

It is not death to die, 484

I've found the pearl of greatest price, 287

I've reached the land of corn and wine, 284

 

Jehovah God! thy gracious pow'r, 92

Jerusalem, my glorious home, 516

Jerusalem, the glorious, 513

Jerusalem, the golden, 510

Jesus, and shall it ever be, 304

Jesus comes, his conflict over, 152

Jesus, I my cross have taken, 266

Jesus is God! the glorious bands, 100

Jesus is tenderly calling thee home, 214

Jesus, keep me near the cross, 136

Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts, 476

Jesus, thy church with longing eyes, 161

Jesus, thy name I love, 308

Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding, 488

Joy to the world! the Lord is come, 98

Just as I am, without one plea, 235

Just as thou art, without one trace, 213

 

Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling, 381

Lift up the Gates of Praise, 22

Lift up to God the voice of praise, 17

Light after darkness, 418

Like Noah's weary dove, 192

Listen, sinner! mercy hails you, 224

Look from thy sphere of endless day, 447

Lo! on a narrow neck of land, 507

Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing, 33

Lord, from thy blessed throne, 544

Lord, I am thine, entirely thine, 265

Lord, I believe a rest remains, 257

Lord, I care not for riches, 247

Lord, I have made thy word my choice, 66

Lord, I hear of showers of blessing, 269

Lord, I know thy grace is nigh me, 253

Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole, 281

Lord of all being! throned afar, 7

Lord, send thy word, and let it fly, 67

Lord, teach us how to pray aright, 389

Lord, thy glory fills the heaven, 88

Lord, weak and impotent I stand, 278

Lord, we come before thee now, 31

Lord, while for all mankind we pray, 541

Love divine, all love excelling, 267

 

Majestic sweetness sits enthroned, 286

Mercy, oh, thou Son of David, 254

Mid scenes of confusion and creature, 523

Midst sorrow and care, 505

Mine eyes and my desire, 273

More love to thee, O Christ, 310

Must Jesus bear the cross alone, 400

My country! 'tis of thee, 542

My days are gliding swiftly by, 498

My dear Redeemer and my Lord, 110

My faith looks up to thee, 307

My Father is rich in houses and lands, 352

My God! accept my heart this day, 261

My God and is thy table spread, 475

My God, how wonderful thou art, 80

My God, I know, I feel thee mine, 260

My God, is any hour so sweet, 386

My God, my Father, while I stray, 358

My God! my King! thy various praise, 12

My gracious Lord, I own thy right, 262

My gracious Redeemer I love, 327

My heavenly home is bright and fair, 522

My hope is built on nothing less, 321

My Jesus, as thou wilt, 372

My life, my love, I give to thee, 275

My Savior, whom absent I love, 325

My soul, be on thy guard, 423

My soul shall praise thee, O my God, 16

 

Nearer, my God, to thee, 311

Not all the blood of beasts, 190

Now for a tune of lofty praise, 146

Now to the Lord a noble song, 11

 

Oh, bless the Lord, my soul, 20

Oh, bliss of the purified! bliss of the, 348

Oh, come, loud anthems let us sing, 13

Oh! could I find from day to day, 258

Oh, could I speak the matchless worth, 303

O day of rest and gladness, 44

Oh, do not let the word depart, 203

Oh, eyes that are weary and hearts, 368

Oh, for a closer walk with God, 330

Oh, for a faith that will not shrink, 364

Oh, for a heart to praise my God, 331

Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing, 288

O God, our help in ages past, 78

Oh, happy day, that fixed my choice, 466

O Holy Savior, Friend unseen, 279

Oh, how happy are they, 248

O, I often sit and ponder, 530

O Jesus full of grace, 271

O, Jesus, Jesus, dearest Lord, 292

O Jesus! sweet the tears I shed, 123

O Lord, how full of sweet content, 343

O Love I who gav'st thy life for me, 140

Oh, now I see the cleansing wave, 283

Oh, render thanks to God above, 10

O, sacred head, now wounded, 120

Oh, scatter seeds of loving deeds, 414

Oh, still in accents sweet, 463

Oh, that I could forever dwell, 314

Oh, that my load of sin were gone, 232

Oh, the peace that fills my soul, 255

O, think of the home over there, 517

O thou, in whose presence my soul, 323

Oh, Thou, the contrite sinner's Friend, 354

Oh thou, whose own vast temple stands, 41

Oh, turn ye, oh turn ye, for why, 215

Oh, weary pilgrim, lift your head, 382

Oh, what if we are Christ's, 359

O when shall I see Jesus, 296

On! where are kings and empires, 432

Oh, where shall rest be found, 228

Oh, wondrous, deep, unbounded love, 244

Oh, wondrous type, oh, vision fair, 113

O worship the King, all-glorious above, 28

Of him who did salvation bring, 320

One sweetly solemn thought, 500

On Jordan's stormy bank I stand, 528

Only a word for Jesus, 420

On the mountain's top appearing, 441

Onward, onward, men of heaven, 445

Oppressed with noonday's scorching, 124

Our children, Lord, in faith and prayer, 483

Our country's voice is pleading, 456

Our Father who art in heaven, 396

Our Lord is now rejected, 160

Our sins on Christ were laid, 126

 

Peace be still! In this night of sorrow, 502

Pour out thy Spirit from on high, 464

Praise God from whom all blessings flow, 6

Praise the Lord; ye heavens adore him, 24

Praise to God, immortal praise, 546

Praise to thee, thou great Creator, 27

Prayer is appointed to convey, 385

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, 391

 

Rejoice and be glad, the Redeemer has, 316

Rescue the perishing, 411

Rest, weary pilgrim, thy journey is o'er, 503

Revive thy work, O Lord, 436

Ride on! ride on in majesty, 112

Rise, glorious Conqueror, rise, 150

Rocked in the cradle of the deep, 547

Rock of Ages, cleft for me, 129

 

Safely thro' another week, 48

Safe in the arms of Jesus, 370

Salvation! oh, the joyful sound, 188

Savior, again to thy dear name we raise, 57

Savior, breathe an evening blessing, 54

Savior, more than life to me, 309

Savior! teach me, day by day, 342

Savior, visit thy plantation, 442

Saw ye my Savior, 137

Say, sinner, hath a voice within, 212

See how the morning sun, 53

See, the Conqueror mounts in triumph, 153

See the flag of Jesus, 459

Servant of God, well done, 485

Shall we gather at the river, 529

Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive, 233

Silently the shades of evening, 59

Simply trusting every day, 376

Sing them over again to me, 62

Sing to the Lord Jehovah's name, 19

Sinners Jesus will receive, 193

Sinners, this solemn truth regard, 183

Sinners, turn; why will ye die, 204

So fades the lovely, blooming flower, 492

Softly fades the twilight ray, 51

Softly now the light of day, 58

Soldiers of Christ are we, 427

Soldiers of Christ! arise, 424

Soldiers of the cross! arise, 461

So let our lips and lives express, 407

Sometimes a light surprises, 346

Soon may the last glad song arise, 439

Soon the evening shadows falling, 226

So tender, so precious, 322

Sowing in the morning, 417

Sow in the morn thy seed, 404

Spirit Divine! attend our prayers, 168

Spirit of power, and truth and love, 173

Stand up, and bless the Lord, 23

Stand up, stand up for Jesus, 428

Stay, thou insulted Spirit, stay, 234

Sun of my soul, thou Savior dear, 55

Sweet hour of prayer, 387

Sweet is the work, my God! my King, 14

Sweet the moments rich in blessing, 132

 

Take me, oh, my Father, take me, 270

Take my heart, dear Jesus, 276

Take my life and let it be, 277

Talk with us, Lord, thyself reveal, 393

Thank and praise Jehovah's name, 25

That awful day will surely come, 508

That dreadful night, before his death, 480

The cross, the cross, the blood-stained cross, 125

The door of salvation is open wide, 231

The evening shades are falling, 531

The head, that once was crowned with thorns, 156

The heathen perish; day by day, 446

The Lord descended from above, 82

The Lord is King! child of the dust, 86

The Lord is now rejected, 160

The Lord is risen indeed, 145

The Lord my Shepherd is, 360

The Lord, our God, is full of might, 73

The Lord's our Rock, in him we hide, 377

The morning kindles all the sky, 147

The morning light is breaking, 457

The morning purples all the sky, 141

The pity of the Lord, 339

The race that long in darkness pine, 95

There are lonely hearts to cherish, 412

There is a fountain filled with blood, 186

There is a God--all nature speaks, 85

There is a land of pure delight, 514

There is a line by us unseen, 210

There is a name I love to hear, 294

There is an hour of peaceful rest, 521

There is a spot to me more dear, 249

There is no flock, however watched, 501

There's a glorious kingdom waiting, 158

There's a land that is fairer than day, 518

There's a stranger at the door, 220

There's a wideness in God's mercy, 217

There shall be showers of blessing, 347

The sands of time are wasting, 512

The Savior bids thee watch and pray, 390

The solemn service now is done, 465

This is not my place of resting, 520

Thou! whose almighty word, 165

Thy law is perfect, Lord of light, 71

Thy way, O God, is in the sea, 77

Thy presence, gracious God, afford, 38

Thy will be done! In devious way, 497

Till he come! oh, let the word, 481

'Tis grace, 'tis grace, 'tis wonderful grace, 200

'Tis midnight; and on Olive's brow, 117

'Tis the promise of God, 252

'Tis thine alone, almighty name, 536

To-day the Savior calls, 222

To thee, my God and Savior, 297

Triumphant Zion! lift thy head, 438

'Twas on that dark, that dreadful night, 478

 

Unfurl the Temperance Banner, 538

Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb, 491

 

Vain are the hopes the sons of men, 185

 

Wake, wake the song! our glad, 545

Walk in the light! so shall thou know, 351

Wayfarers in the wilderness, 499

We are living, we are dwelling, 408

We bless thee for thy peace, O God, 333

We give thee but thine own, 405

We have heard the joyful sound, 191

We long to move and breathe in thee, 482

We may not climb the heavenly steeps, 105

We praise thee, O God, for the Son, 315

We shall meet beyond the river, 524

Welcome, delightful morn, 49

Welcome, O Savior! to my heart, 259

Welcome, sacred day of rest, 50

Welcome! sweet day of rest, 43

What a Friend we have in Jesus, 395

What grace, O Lord, and beauty, shone, 104

What means this glorious radiance, 103

When I can read my title clear, 515

When I view my Savior bleeding, 133

When I survey the wondrous cross, 119

When Jesus comes to reward his, 422

When peace like a river, 251

When the worn spirit wants repose, 47

When thou, my righteous Judge, shalt, 506

When wounded sore, the stricken soul, 187

While in sweet communion feeding, 479

While shepherds watched their flocks, 96

Who'll be the next to follow Jesus, 219

Why do we mourn departing friends, 493

Why do you wait, dear brother, 207

Why should our tears in sorrow flow, 495

Why should the children of a King, 169

With joy we mediate the grace, 157

With stately towers and bulwarks, 431

With thine own pity Savior, see, 462

Witness, ye men and angels! now, 470

Work, for the night is coming, 416

Would you lose your load of sin, 242

 

Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim, 29

Yes, God is good; in earth and sky, 83

Yes, we trust the day is breaking, 453

Ye wretched, hungry, starving poor, 209

Yield not to temptation, 430

 

Zion, dreary and in anguish, 444
Zion stands with hills surrounded, 440
