LP BV 3so > i-ijQ Whilst tendering iny Wiirm thanks to the Lord's sweet SungsterSi whoever, and wherever they may be, in enabling me to make this Collec- tion of Hymns, for the use of a Church, meeting in the Master's Name, by laying hands upon whatever was good and beautiful of their composi- tions : a felt need must be my apoloii;y for alterations found in many Hymns ; either by way of improvement,— at least to my mind, — or by necessity ; on account of unscriptural doctrine which they contained. Hymns are an excellent vehicle for contaming Truth, as well as impressing it on the mind ; they are equally so with regard to Error. By way of explanation, 1 may say, that some of these Hynuis have been re- written ; and some have been composed by selecting single verses, or more, from several sources, containing some precious Truth sweetly expressed, like an oasis in adesert,— andstriinging them together, with t\u) alterations re<]|uired in rhyme or metre, so as to make a whole Hymn out of the pieces ; otherwise the Collection, »mall, on purpose that the Hymns may be frequently used, would have grown too large. A few Hymns with the initials XXH. J8. appended, are the composition of the Author of this Hymnal ; to the use of which any Christian is wel- come, should they be deemed worthy of his needs. The Lord bless the Songs and the Singers for His Name's sake. Toronto, January, 1807. m. B. 367213 ARRANGEMENT OF SUBJECTS.
