This volume has been prepared in response to many requests for
a small and inexpensive collection of well known Standard Church
Hymns, together with a selection of the best and most useful
"Gospel Hymns and Sacred Songs

It contains three hundred and sixty-seven hymns, with music,
selected with great care, conveniently arranged, covering a large
range of subjects, and provided with a complete Topical Index.

We believe this collection will prove a great boon to many
Churches throughout the country, that do not care to purchase the
large and expensive Hymnals of the day, from which only a small
portion of the pieces are sung by any congregation.

Trusting that these Standard Hymns and Sacred Songs may find
a warm welcome, not only in all Church Services, but also in the
Prayer Meetings of the land, and be a blessing wherever used, we
send them forth on their joyful mission.

moru-ing our song shall rise to Thee; Holy, holy, holy,

merciful and might - y, God in three Per-sons, bless-ed Trin-i - ty!

2 Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore Thee,

Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Which wert and art and evermore shalt be.

3 Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee,

Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,

Perfect in power, in love and purity.

4 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!

All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth and sky and sea; Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty;

God in three persons, blessed Trinity!

Reginald Heber.
