SHOWING WHERE TO FIND EACH HYMN BY THE BEGINNING.
A charge to keep I have
Ah, huw shall salen man
Alas, what hourly dangers rise
All glorious God, what hymus of praise
Almighty Father, bless the word
Almighty Lord, before ty throne
Although the vine ils fruits deny
And are we now brought near tu God
And wilt thoi, eternal God
And will the Judge de cend
Another six days' work is done
Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat
Arise, in svul, with rapture rise
As panting in the sultry benin
As, when the weary trav'ler gains
As o'er the past my mem'ry strays
As the sweet flow'r that scents the morn
Awake, m, soul, and with the sun
Awake, my sul, stretch ev'ry werve
Awake, ye sainis, auske
Before Jehovah's awful throne
Begin, my soul, the exalte l lay
Bo joyful in God, all ye funds of the earth
Be still, my heart, these anxious cares
Bless'd be thou, the God of Irael
Bless' is the man whose sull'oing heart
Bless' is the tie that tinis
Beholl the Saviour of mankind
Children of the heav'nly King
Christ from the dead is raised, and made
Christ the Lord is risen to-day
Come, Holy Ghost, Crator, come
Come, Holy Spirit, Heav'mly Dove
Come, let our voices join
Come, Lord, and warm each languid heart
Come, ye that love the Lord
Deludet souls, that dream of heaven
Disown'd of heaven, by man oppressed
Dread Jehovah, Gd of nations
Eternal source of ev'ry joy
Faith is the Christian's evidence
Far from my thoughts, vain world begone
Father of mercies, in thy word
Father of all, whosel ve profound
Father of mercies, bow thine ear
Father, tu thee, my soul I lilt
Father, whate'er of earthly bliss
Few are thy days, and find of wo
Fountain of mercy, God of love
From all that i weli below the skies
From Greenland's icy mountains
Froin whence the e diretul omens round
Glory to thee, my God, this night
Glory to the Father give
God moves in a mysterious way
God of the seas, thine awful voice
God of our Fathers by whose hand
Go forth, ye heralds, in my name
"Go preach my Gospel," saith the Lord
Grace, 'uis a charming sound
Great first of beings, mighly Lord
Great God, this sacred day of thine
Great God, to thee iny evening song
Great God, what do I see and hear
Great God, with wonder and with praise
Guide me, thou great Jehovah
Hail, thou long expected Jesus
Hail to the Lord's Auvinted
