Let joyful hosannas unceasing arise,
And join the full chorus that gladdens the skies.

A TABLE OF FIRST LINES,

HOWING WHERE TO FIND EACH HYMN BY THE BEGINNING

A CHARGE to keep I have....
Ah, how shall fallen man-
Alas, what hourly dangers rise
All glorious God, what hymns of praise..
Almighty Father, bless the word
Almighty Lord, before thy throne
Although the vine its fruit deny..
And are we now brought near to God
And wilt thou, O eternal God
And will the Judge descend.
Another six days' work is done
Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat.
Arise, my soul, with rapture rise
As, panting in the sultry beam
As, when the weary traveller gains
As o'er the past my memory strays.
As the sweet flower that scents the morn
Awake, my soul, and with the sun·
Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve
Awake, ye saints, awake.

...

•

Before Jehovah's awful throne.
Begin my soul, th' exalted lay...
Be joyful in God, all ye lands of the earth
Be still, my heart; these anxious cares................
Bless'd be thou, the God of Israel
Blest is the man whose softening heart.
Blest is the tie that binds ·
Behold the Saviour of mankind
