PREFACE.

Among the Hymns in the following collection will
be found many which are not of the conmionly
recognized metres. Some of these are already set
to music of their own. Others can readily be
adapted by the choir-leader to the simple chants
which are now generally found in our collections of
Sacred Music.

An asterisk prefixed to the author’s name indi-
cates that some change has been made in the hymn
by the present compilers.

The titles of the Supplementary Hymns in the
present edition have been introduced udthin the
original table of contents, instead of forming a sep-
arate series at the end.

Boston, April 23, 1848.
