PREFACE.

THE Hymn-Book printed in the year 1801, for the use

of the PROTESTANT CHURCH of the UNITED BRETHREN being out of print, a new edition is now published.

As this hymn-book is also intended for the use of our missions in the English dominions abroad, where holy baptism is frequently administered to adults; and as the same is at times administered here, we have added a few hymns, be suitably used on such occasions.

that

may

The hymns translated from the German are distinguished by an asterisk [*]; those not marked in this manner, are English compositions.

In order to find any single verse, the INDEX does not contain the first line of each HYMN only, but of each VERSE in this collection. The lines which begin a hymn are also marked in the index with an asterisk [*].

The numbers of the tunes, placed over the hymns, have a reference to the second index, which points out the tunes for the hymns that occur in this book.

May all, who use these hymns, delight in and experience at all times the blessed effects of the apostle Paul's advice, (EPHESIANS V. 18, 19.) "Be filled with the

Spirit, speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord," yea anticipate already, whilst in the body, though in an humble and imperfect strain, the song of the innumerable company of angels, and the spirits of just men made perfect, (HEB. xii. 22, 23.) who being redeemed out of every kindred and tongue, and people, and nation, and having washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb, (REV. v. 9. and vii. 14.) are singing in perfect harmony, (REV. v. 12,-14) "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing, for ever and ever." Amen!
