ENLARGED. A MANUAL OF THE BEST AND MOST POPULAR HYMNS AND TUNES, FOR SOCIAL AND PRIVATE DEVOTION. Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. PUBLISHED BY THE HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY FROM THE ESTATE OF REV. CHARLES HUTCHINS MAY 24, 1939. ENTERED according to Act of Congress, in the year 1864, by the AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York. 781 A51200 1864 PREFACE. THE SONGS OF ZION, as first published, aimed to supply a want, felt and expressed in all parts of the country, of a manual fitted for general use, especially in meetings for prayer and in the family circle-compact, convenient, and cheap, and at the same time comprising most of the hymns and tunes that are established favorites with Christians of every name. It has been eminently successful and useful. This revised edition, under the title, SONGS OF ZION ENLARGED, Contains the hymns and tunes of the former work, a few tunes only being exchanged for more useful ones; and other choice hymns and tunes are added, making a volume twice as large as the other, but of the same character. To assist the people of God in his worship, and to promote the salvation of souls, are the great objects to which, in making this selection, every other consideration has been subordinated. It is believed that the experienced worshipper will recognize at almost every page the music and poetry that are interwoven with his deepest hopes and joys, like words of holy writ. The |
