Most of these translations are new : where existing 
ones have been made use of, the names of the trans- 
lators are mentioned. 

The English hymns are alphabetically arranged, 
and are printed, so far as known, as they were ori- 
ginally composed. 

* . 

Those who desire to peruse German hymns trans- 
lated into English, are referred to two excellent 
publications: — . 

1. Lyra GEHifANiCA, German Hymns translated 

by Miss Winkworth. 2 vols. 

2. Hymns from the Land of Luther. 2 small 

vols.

I go to prepare a place for you. John xir. 2. 
WbosoeTer shall oonfess me before men, him will I 
confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 
Matt. X. 32. 

And art Thou, gracious Master, gone, 

A mansion to prepare for me ? 

Shall I behold Thee on thy throne. 

And there for ever sit with Thee ? 
Then let the world approve or blame. 

I’ll triumph in thy glorious name. 

Should I, to gain the world’s applause. 

Or to escape its scorn or frown, 

Eefuse to countenance thy cause. 

And make thy people’s lot mine own, 
What shame would fill me in that day. 
When Thou thy glory shalt display !

And what is man, or what his smile, 

The terror of his anger, what? 

Like grass he flourishes awhile ; 

But soon his place shall know him not. 
Through fear of such a one shall I 
The Lord of heaven and earth deny ? 

No ; let the world cast out my name. 

And vile account me, if they will ; 

If to confess the Lord be shame, 

I purpose to be viler still. 

For Thee, my God, I all resign. 

Content, if I can call Thee mine. 

For, ah ! what joy will fill my heart. 

When Thou my worthless name shalt own, 
When I shall see Thee as Thou art. 

And know as I myself am known: 

When I, from sin and sorrow free, 

Shall like my Lord for ever be. 

Kelly.

Casting all your care upon him ; for he careth for yom 1 PeL v. 7. 

Art thou acquainted, 0 my soul, 

With such a Saviour, such a friend? 

Whose power can all events control. 

And from all evils can defend? 

Why art thou then opprest with fears? 

Knowledge of Him should give thee peace; 
Should check these often flowing tears. 

And bid these sad misgivings cease. 

Is it the past that gives thee pain? 

Transgressions, falls, dost thou deplore? 

The atoning blood pleads not in vain: 

Thy God remembers them no more. 

Do present troubles vex thy mind? 

Sufferings of body, mental care? 

In God a refuge thou wilt find; 

And, oh ! what sweet relief in prayer !

Why are ye fearful, 0 ye of little faith ! MaUk. viii. 26. 

Begone, unbelief. 

My Saviour is near, 

And for my relief 
Will surely appear: 

By prayer let me wrestle. 

And He will perform; 

With Christ in the vessel, 

I snule at the storm. 

Though dark be my way. 

Since He is my guide, 

"Tis mine to obey, 

’Tis his to provide ; 

Though cisterns be broken. 

And creatures all fail. 

The word He has spoken 
Will surely prevail

His love in time past 
Forbids me to think 
Hell leave me at last 
In trouble to sink : 

Each sweet Ebenezer 
I have in review 
Confirms his good pleasure 
To help me quite through. 

Determined to save, 

He watched o’er my path, 
When, Satan’s blind slave, 

I sported with death; 

And can He have taught me 
To trust in his name, 

And thus far have brought me 
To put me to shame? 

Why should I complain 
Of want or distress.

Temptation or pain? 

He told me no less : 

The heirs of salvation, 

I know from his word 
Through much tribulation 
Must follow their Lord. 

How bitter that cup, 

No heart can conceive, 
Which He drank quite up. 
That sinners might live. 
His way was much rougher 
And darker than mine ; 
Did Jesus thus suffer, 

And shall I repine? 

Since all that I meet 
Shall work for my good. 
The bitter is sweet. 

The medicine is food :

Tune my heart to sing thy grace ; 

Streams of mercy, never ceasing.

Praise the mount — Oh ! fix me on it :

All the fitness He requireth, 

Is to feel your need of Him. 

This He gives you: 

’Tis the Spirit’s rising beam. 



Come, ye weary, heavy laden, 
Bruised and mangled by the fall : 
If you tarry till you’re better, 

You will never come at all.

Go ye into all the world, and preaeh the gospel to every 
creature. Mark xvi. 15. 

From Greenland’s icy mountains, 

From India’s coral strand, 

Where Afric’s sunny fountains 
KoU down their golden sand, 

From many an ancient river, 

From many a palmy plain. 

They call us to deliver 

Their land from error’s chain. 

• What thougli the spicy breezes 
Blow soft on Ceylon’s isle; 

Though every prospect pleases, 

And only man is vile ; 

In vain, with lavish kindness 
The gifts of God are strown. 

The heathen in his blindness 
Bows down to wood and stone.

Shall we, whose souls are lighted 
With wisdom from on high, 
Shall we to men benighted 
The lamp of life deny? 
Salvation! Oh, salvation! 

The joyful sound proclaim; 

T^ll each remotest nation 
Has learned Messiah’s name. 

Waft, waft, ye winds, his story, 
And you, ye waters, roll, 

TiU, like a sea of gloiy. 

It spreads from pole to pole; 
Till o’er our ransomed nature, * 
The Lamb for sinners slain. 
Redeemer, King, Creator, 

In bliss returns to reign.

[The Lord] is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working. 

ha. xxviii. 29> 

God moves in a mysterious way 
His wonders to perform; 

He plants his footsteps in the sea, 

And rides upon the atorm. 

Deep in unfathomable mines 
Of never-failing skill, 

He treasures up his bright designs, 

And works his sovereign will. 

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take: 

The clouds ye so much dread 

Are big with mercy, and shall break 
In blessings on your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, 

But trust Him for his grace : 

Behind a frowning providence 
He hides a smiling face. 

His purposes will ripen fast, 

Unfolding every hour: 

The bud may have a bitter taste. 

But sweet will be the flower. 

Blind unbelief is sure to err, 

And scan his work in vain : 

God is his own interpreter; 

And He will make it plain.

Who came from the sky, 

In tenderest pity. 

For sinners to die ! 

His hands and his feet 
Were nailed to the tree ; 

And all this He suffered 
For you and for me. 

How gladly does Jesus 
Free pardon impart

By faith in their heart!

In faith and love and every grace ; 
Might more of his salvation know, 

And seek more earnestly his face.

And the date grows ripe under sunny skies ;

Where fragrant forests perfume the breeze. 

And strange bright birds, on their starry wings. 
Bear the rich hues of all glorious things ?

I rest my soul on Jesus, 

This weary soul of mine ; 

His right hand me embraces, 

I on his breast recline. 

I love the name of Jesus, 

Immanuel, Christ, the Lord; 

Like fragrance on the breezes 
His name abroad is poured. 

I long to be like Jesus, 

Meek, loving, lowly, mild; 

I long to be like Jesus, 

The Father’s holy child. 

I long to be with Jesus, 

Amid the heavenly throng, 

To sing with saints his praises, 

To learn the angels’ song. 

Bonar.

Our conversation (or “ our home ”) is in heaven. Phil, iii. 20. 

I’m but a stranger here, 

Heaven is my home ; 

Earth is a desert drear. 

Heaven is my home. 

Danger and sorrow stand 
Eound me on every hand ; 

Heaven is my fatherland. 

Heaven is my homa 

What though the tempests rage? 

Heaven is my home. 

Short is my pilgrimage. 

Heaven is my home. 

And time’s wild wintry blast 
Soon will be overpast; 

I shall reach home at last: 

Heaven is mv home.

Ye were as sheep going astray ; but are now returned unto 
the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. 1 iL 25 . 

I was a wandering sheep, 

I did not love the fold: 

I did not love my Shepherd’s voice, 

I would not be controlled. 

I was a wayward child, 

I did not love my home: 

I did not love my Father’s voice, 

I loved afar to roam. 

The Shepherd sought his sheep ; 

The Father sought his child: 

He followed me o’er vale and hill, 

O’er deserts waste and wild. 

He found me nigh to death. 

Famished and faint and lone; 

He hound me with the hands of love. 
He saved the wandering one.

My fainting soul He fed. 

He washed my filth away,

Jesus my Shepherd is ;

Neither is there salvation in any other : for there is none 
other name \mder heaven given among men, whereby 
we must be saved. Ads iv. 12. 

Jesus, Lover of my soul. 

Let me to thy bosom fly. 

While the nearer waters roll, 

While the tempest stUl is high. 

Hide me, 0 my Saviour, hide. 

Till the storm of life is past ; 

Safe into the haven guide. 

Oh receive my soul at last. 

Other refuge have I none. 

Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; 

Leave, ah! leave me not alone, 

Stni support and comfort me. 

All my trust on Thee is stayed; 

All my help from Thee I bring : 

Cover my defenceless head 
With the shadow of thy wing.

Thou, 0 Christ, art all I want, 

Boundless love in Thee I find: 

Kaise the fallen, cheer the faint. 

Heal the sick, and lead the blind. 

Just and holy is thy name, 

I am all unrighteousness; 

Vile and full of sin I am : 

Thou art full of truth and grace. 

Plenteous grace with Thee is found, 

Grace to pardon all my sin: 

Let the healing streams abound. 

Make and keep me pure within. 

Thou of life the fountain art. 

Freely let me take of Thee : 

Spring Thou up within my heart, 

Kise to all eternity.

Where two or three are gathered together in my name, 
there am I in the midst of them. McUth. xviii. 20. 

Jesus, where’er thy people meet, 

There they behold thy mercy-seat : 

Where’er they seek Thee, Thou art found. 
And every place is hallowed ground. 

Great Shepherd of thy chosen few, 

Thy former mercies here renew : 

Here to our waiting hearts proclaim 
The sweetness of thy saving name. 

Here may we prove the power of prayer. 

To strengthen faith and banish care, 

To teach our faint desires to rise. 

And bring all heaven before our eyes. 

Lord, we are weak, but Thou art near. 

Nor short thine arm, nor deaf thine ear: 

Oh fiU us with thy grace divine, 

And may our hearts be wholly thine.

Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. John xviii. 2. 

Jesus, wliile He dwelt below, 

As divine historians say. 

To a place would often go. 

Near to Kedron’s brook it lay: 

In this place He loved to be. 

And ’twas named Gethsemane. 

Twas a garden, as we read. 

At the foot of Olivet, 

Low, and proper to be made 
The Eedeemer’s lone retreat. 

When from noise He would be free. 

Then He sought Gethsemane.

Often set their hearts on flama

To endear Gethsemana 

Full of love to man’s lost race. 

On his conflict much He thought; 
This He knew the destined place, 

■ And He loved the sacred spot 
Therefore ’twas He liked to be 
Often in Gethsemana 

Many woes had He endured. 

Many sore temptations met. 
Patient, and to pains inured;

Was to be sustained in thee.

Vengeance with its iron rod 
Stood, and with collected might 
Bruised the harmless Lamb of God. 

See, my soul, thy Saviour see, 

Grovelling in Gethsemane. 

View Him in that olive press, 

Squeezed and wrung tUl whelmed in blood ; 
View thy Maker’s deep distress. 

Hear the sighs and groans of God. 

Then reflect, what sin must be, 

Gazing on Gethsemane. 

Poor disciples, tell me now, 

Where’s the love ye lately had. 

Where’s that faith ye all could vow? 

But this hour is too, too sad, 

’Tis not now for such as ye, 

To support Gethsemane.

We can hope no healing hand. 

Leprous quite throughout with sin; 
Loathed incurables we stand, 

Crying out, “Unclean, unclean!” 

Help there’s none for such as we. 

But in dear Gethsemane. 

Eden, from each flowery bed. 

Did for man short sweetness breathe. 
Soon by Satan’s counsel led, 

Man wrought sin, and sin wrought death. 
But of life, the healing tree 
Grows in rich Gethsemane. 

Hither, Lord, Thou didst resort 
Ofttimes with thy little train; 

Here wouldst keep thy private court: 

Oh confer that grace again 1

Ofttimes to Gethsemana

True, I can’t deserve to share' 

In a favour so divine; 

But, since sin first fixed Thee there. 
None have greater sins than mine ; 
And to this, my woeful plea. 

Witness thou, Gethsemane! 

Sins against a holy God ; 

Sins against his righteous laws ; 
Sins against his love, his blood; 

Sins against his name and cause: 
Sins immense as is the sea: 

Hide me, 0 Gethsemane ! 

Here’s my claim, and here alone; 

None a Saviour more can need; 
Deeds of righteousness I’ve none, 

No, not one good work to plead : 
Not a glimpse of good for me, 

Only in Gethsemane !

But that thy blood was shed for me. 

And that Thou hidst me come to Thee, 

0 Lamb of God, I come. 

Just as I am, and waiting not 
To rid my soul of one dark blot. 

To Thee, whose blood can oleanse each spot, 
0 Lamb of God, I come. 

Just as I am, though tossed about 
With many a conflict, many a doubt. 
Fightings within, and fears without, 

0 Lamb of God, I come. 



John vi. 37.

Having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ ; which is 
far better. Phil. i. 23. 



Let me be with Thee, where Thou art, 
My Saviour, my eternal rest: 

Then only will this longing heart 
Be fully and for ever blest. 



Let me be with Thee, where Thou art. 
Thy unveiled glory to behold: 

Then only will this wandering heart 
Cease to be treacherous, faithless, cold. 

Let me be with Thee, where Thou art, 
Where spotless saints thy name adore: 
Then only will this sinful heart 
Be evil and defiled no more.

Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the 
world. John'i. 29. 

Not all the blood of beasts, 

On Jewish altars slain, 

(]!ould give the guilty conscience peace, 
Or wash away the stain. 

But Christ, the heavenly Lamb, 

Takes all our sins away ; 

A sacrifice of nobler name. 

And richer blood than they. 

1 

My faith would lay her hand 
On that dear head of thine ; 

While, like a penitent I stand. 

And there confess my sin.

Now in a song of grateful praise 
To our dear Lord the voice we’ll raise ; 
With all his saints we’ll join to tell, 

“ Our Jesits hath done all things well.” 

All worlds his glorious power confess, 

His wisdom all his works express ; 

But, Oh ! his love what tongue can tell ? 

“ Our Jesus hath done all things well.” 

And since our souls have known his love. 
What mercies hath He made us prove, 
Mercies which all our praise excel !

Lord, teach us to pray. Luke xi. 1. 

Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire. 
Uttered or unexpressed ; 

The motion of a hidden fire. 

That trembles in the breast. 

Prayer is the burden of a sigh. 
The falling of a tear; 

The upward glancing of an eye. 
When none but God is near.

Prayer is the simplest form of speech 
That infant lips can try, 

Prayer the snblimest strains that reach 
The Majesty on high. 

Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath, 
The Christian’s native air. 

His watchword at the gates of death : 
He enters heaven with prayer. 

Prayer is the contrite sinner’s voice, 
Ketuming from his ways ; 

While angels in their songs rejoice, 
And cry — “Behold! he prays.” 

In prayer the saints appear as one 
In word and deed and mind; 

While with the Father and the Son 
Sweet fellowship they find.

Let the water and the blood. 

From thy riven side which flowed. 

Be of sin the double cure. 

Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

Id that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of

There is a fountain filled with blood, 
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins; 

And sinners plunged beneath that flood, 
Lose all their guilty stains. 

♦ The dying thief rejoiced to see 
That fountain in his day; 

And there have I, as vile as he, 

Washed aU my sins away. 

Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood 
Shall never lose its power. 

Till all the ransomed church of God 
Be saved to sin no more.

Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared. 
Unworthy though I be. 

For me a blood-bought free reward, 

A golden harp for me. 

Tis strung and tuned for endless yeara. 

And formed by power divine. 

To sound in God the Father’s ears 
No other name but thine.

The Lord will provide (Jehovah-jireh). Oen. xxii. 14. 

Though troubles assail. 

And dangers affright ; 

Though friends should all fail, 

And foes all unite ; 

Yet one thing secures us, 

Whatever betide. 

The Scripture assures us, 

The Lord will provide. 

The birds without bam 
Or storehouse are fed: 

From them let us learn 
To trust for our bread. 

His saints what is fitting 
Shall ne’er be denied. 

So long as ’tis written. 

The Lord will provide.

And fill us with fears, 

We triumph by faith : 

He cannot take from us, 
Though oft he has tried, 
This heart-cheering promise. 
The Lord will provide. 

He tells us we’re weak, 

Our hope is in vain. 

The good that we seek 
We ne’er shall obtain; 
But when such suggestions 
Our spirits have ply’d. 
This answers all questions: 
The Lord wdll provide. 

No strength of our own 
Or goodness we claim ; 
Yet since we have known 
The Saviour’s great name.

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusstlem, coming down 
from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for 
her husband. Rev. xxi. 2. 

We sing of the realms of the blest, 

That country so bright and so fair; 

And oft are its glories confessed ; 

But what must it be to be there? 

We speak of its freedom from sin. 

From sorrow, temptation, and care. 

From trials without and within ; 

But what must it be to be there? 

We speak of its service of love, 

The robes which the glorified wear. 

The church of the first-bom above; 

But what must it be to be there?

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou hast perfected 
praise. Matt. xxi. 16. 

When his salvation bringing 
To Zion Jesus came, 

The children aU stood singing 
Hosanna to his name ; 

Nor did their zeal offend Him, 

But, as He rode along, 

He hade them stiU attend Him, 

And smiled to hear their song: 
Hosanna! to Jesus our King.

When has sunk yon glaring sun, 
When we stand with Christ in glory, 
Looking o'er life's finished story,

And art Thou, gracious Master, gone fi 

Art thou acquainted, oh my soul 10 

Begone, unbelief 

Come, my soul, thy suit prepare 
Come, thou Fount of every blessing 
Come, ye sinners, p>oor and wretched 



From Greenland’s icy moimtains . . . 

God moves in a mysterious way . . . 

Guide us, 0 Thou Great Jehovah . , . 

Hark, my soul, it is the Lord . . . . 

How loving is Jesus 

How sweet the name of Jesus soxmds 
I asked the Lord that 1 might grow . . 

I hear thee speak of a better land . . . 

1 lay my sins on Jesus 

I’m but a stranger here 

I was a wandering sheep 

Jesus, Lover of my soul 

Jesus, where’er thy people meet , . . 

Jesus, while He dwelt below ....

Just as I am, without one plea 102 

Let me be with Thee where Thou art 106 

My God, my Father, while I stray 108 

Nearer, my God, to Thee 112 

Not all the blood of beasts 118 

Now in a song of grateful praise 122 

0 teach me more of thy blest ways 126 

Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire 128 

Rock of ages, cleft for me 134 

There is a fountain filled with blood 138 

Though troubles assail 142 

We sing of the realms of the blest 1.50 

When his salvation bringing 152 

When this passing world is done 1.56
