HYMN AND TUNE BOOK: FOR THE LECTURE ROOM, PRAYER MEETING, FAMILY CIRCLE, AND MISSION CHURCH. FOURTH EDITION. PHILADELPHIA: PRESBYTERIAN PUBLICATION COMMITTEE, 1334 CHESTNUT STREET. NEW YORK: A. D. F. RANDOLPH, 770 BROADWAY. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1865, by WM. L. HILDEBURN, TREASURER, PRESBYTERIAN PUBLICATION COMMITTEE, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. STEREOTYPED BY WESTCOTT & THOMSON. THE "SOCIAL HYMN AND TUNE BOOK" is an endeavor to give, in a volume of moderate size, the best hymns and the best tunes. The Hymns are mainly drawn from the "Church Psalmist," with such additions, selected and original, as have the stamp of merit. These hymns are ar ranged under leading topics and in logical order. The topics are indicated by right-hand headings in SMALL CAPITALS, and will be found systematically arranged at the close, in an Index; the logical order of the hymns is indicated by italic right-hand headings, and, under the two extended topics, "Christ" and "Christian Life," is further indicated by subordinate divisions in the "Index of Topics." The Tunes, carefully selected and carefully adapted to the hymns, are fitted, it is believed, both to express the sentiments of sacred song and to kindle, in pious hearts, the flame of devotion. They are old tunes chiefly, with such approved new ones as the church will not let die. Many of them are copy-righted; and, used in this book by permission, they cannot be used, by others, without the like permission. |
