PREFACE. 


It  has  been  almost  universally  believed,  that  Providence 
has  distributed  the  peculiar  powers  necessary  for  the  suc- 
cessful cultivation  of  the  art  of  singing,  with  a hand  so  very 
unequal,  that  the  few  who  are  favored,  become  musicians 
without  difficulty,  and  almost  without  instruction  or  effort, 
while  to  the  vast  majority  the  attainment  of  any  valuable 
degree  of  musical  skill  is  almost  entirely  hopeless.  In  this 
supposed  decision  of  Providence,  mankind  have  geuerall/ 
acquiesced,  and  have  allowed  this  art  to  remain  solely  in 
the  possession  of  the  few,  not  because  they  have  regarded 
it  as  of  little  value,  but  because  they  have  considered  its 
attainment  impracticable. 

A change  is,  however,  very  rapidly  taking  place,  upon 
this  subject,  in  the  public  mind.  Proofs  of  the  very  gene- 
ral, if  not  universal,  power  to  understand  the  distinctions 
of  musical  sound,  and  to  control,  in  accordance  with  them, 
the  modulations  of  the  voice,  are  multiplying.  The  number 
of  the  young  who  receive  instruction,  and  make  successful 
progress  in  this  art,  is  rapidly  increasing;  and  as  the  hope 
arises  that  this  acquisition  may  be  made  by  all,  it  is  viewed 
with  more  attention,  and  its  various  advantages  are  more 
and  more  highly  appreciated.  Let  us  briefly  mention  some 
of  them. 


IV 


PREFACE. 


1.  It  is  a most  important  means  of  promoting  devotional 
feelings  in  the  worship  of  God ; and  it  is  far  more  powerful 
in  its  effects  upon  those  who  join  in  it,  than  upon  those  who 
merely  listen.  It  is  to  be  hoped,  that  the  time  is  coming, 
when  none,  who  do  not  labor  under  peculiar  incapacities, 
will  consent  to  be  excluded  from  this  delightful  part  of  di- 
vine service,  or  feel  themselves  excused  from  joining  in  the 
praises  of  their  Creator. 

2.  Music  is,  in  itself,  a source  of  the  purest  enjoyment. 
It  may  occupy  the  vacant  hours,  express,  innocently  and 
happily,  the  lively  feelings  of  childhood  and  youth,  and  af- 
ford rest  and  refreshment  to  the  mind  wearied  with  the 
cares  and  labors  of  life.  The  gladness  of  the  heart  is 
calmed,  but  deepened  by  its  power ; and  sorrow  almost  be- 
comes enjoyment,  by  being  expressed  in  song. 

3.  It  promotes  health.  As  a mere  exercise,  it  is  consid- 
ered by  many  physicians  as  a most  valuable  means  of 
strengthening  the  lungs  ; but  tranquillity  of  mind  is  of 
more  value  in  restoring  the  bodily  powers  than  mere  mus- 
cular exertion.  How  soon  does  strong  mental  agitation 
derange  every  thing  in  the  system?  Grief  refuses  food; — 
terror  becomes  faint  and  pale; — and  long  continued  anxiety 
will  bring  the  strongest  to  the  grave.  Music  reverses  these 
effects,  and  while  it  calms  the  mind,  invigorates  the  body. 

4.  Its  influence  is  favorable  upon  the  mental  powers. 
From  its  very  nature,  it  cultivates  the  habits  of  order  and 
union.  All  must  follow  a precise  rule,  and  act  together  in 
obedience  to  a leader;  and  the  habit  thus  acquired  in  one 
pursuit,  necessarily  has  its  influence  in  others. 

5.  It  improves  the  heart.  No  one  will  question  its  power 
to  soften  the  character  and  elevate  the  feelings.  It  diverts, 
too,  the  young  from  amusements  of  a questionable  charac- 
ter; and  it  is  said  that  a reformation  has,  in  more  than  one 
village  and  district,  been  effected,  by  introducing  vocal 
music  among  the  youth.  In  the  schools  upon  the  continent 
of  Europe,  it  has  been  found  materially  to  promote  the 


PREFACE. 


V 


good  order  and  discipline  of  the  pupils;  to  render  them 
more  kind  to  each  other,  and  more  obedient  to  their  teach- 
ers. 

The  full  influence  of  music  is  only  felt  where  it  is  com- 
bined with  appropriate  words,  and  is  employed  in  fixing 
useful  instruction  in  the  mind,  and  elevated  and  devotional 
feelings  in  the  heart.  Good  or  evil  principles  may  be  fixed 
most  deeply  by  its  influence.  The  Marseilles  Hymn  has 
often  nerved  the  arm  to  bloodshed,  while  the  songs  of  Zion 
have  brought  to  penitence  many  a sinful  heart.  It  has  been 
justly  observed,  that  the  ballads  of  a nation  have  more  in- 
fluence than  its  laws;  and  in  a country,  where  the  laws 
and  the  government  are  based  upon  the  character  of  the 
people,  it  becomes  of  inconceivable  importance  that  every 
avenue  to  the  conscience  and  the  heart  be  guardted  by  vir- 
tue and  piety.  It  is  with  the  hope  of  contributing  to  this 
result,  that  these  songs  are  given  to  the  public.  A large 
portion  of  them  are  translated  from  works  which  were  col- 
lected by  the  Rev.  William  C.  Woodbridge,*  during  a re- 
cent visit  to  Germany,  and  placed  by  him  in  the  hands  of 
the  Editors,  with  the  hope  of  rendering  them  useful  to  the 
children  and  youth  of  this  country. 

They  have  peculiar  claims  to  confidence,  on  the  ground 
that  they  are  derived  from  collections  formed  with  great 
care,  by  individuals  familiar  with  the  wants  and  feelings  of 
children;  and  have  been  found  by  experience  admirably 
adapted  to  cultivate  the  powers,  elevate  the  taste,  improve 
the  character,  and  cheer  and  animate  the  hearts  of  whole 
communities  of  children.  They  have  also  received  the 
sanction  of  the  public  guardians  of  education  in  many  parts 
of  Europe,  and  form  a part  of  that  course  of  instruction 
which  is  deemed  indispensable  to  a well  organized  school. 
Most  of  them  have  been  translated  by  Mr.  S.  F.  Smith,  t in.

PREFACE. 


such  a manner  as  to  preserve  the  music  as  originally  writ- 
en.  The  same  gentleman  has  also  lurnished  several  very 
beautiful  original  songs.  A number  have  been  taken  form 
an  interesting  little  volume  of  Poems  for  Children,  by  Mrs.' 
Sarah  J.  Hale,  and  a few  from  other  sources.  To  these, 
original  music  has  been  written. 

It  will  be  seen  that  some  of  the  songs  are  intended  to  be 
mere  expressions  of  childish  pleasure; — others,  descrip- 
tions of  the  warmest  and  best  feelings  of  the  heart; — and 
others  still  associate  moral  and  religious  instruction  with 
the' objects  we  see,  and  the  common  events  we  witness; 
and  thus  serve  to  lead  the  child  ‘through  nature  up  to  na- 
ture’s God.’  Could  we  put  such’^  songs  into  the  mouths  of 
the  numerous  children  of  our  country,  who  does  not  per- 
ceive the  happy  influence,  which  would  be  exerted  on  the 
feelings  and  manners  and  morals  of  the  rising  generation, 
on  whose  character  the  future  destiny  of  the  country  de- 
pends ?

We’ll  gather  the  lily  and  jessamine  fair, 

And  twine  them  with  roses  to  garland  our  hair.

We’ll  cut  all  the  sweetest  to  make  a bouquet,

Then  hie  to  our  school-room,  with  joy  and  with  glee, 
And  sing  our  sweet  ballads,  so  happy  are  we.

Many  joys  to  thee  we  owe. 
Silver  fountain,  cool  and  clear, 
In  thy  cheerful  stream  we  throw 
Every  care  and  every  fear

Plucking  flow’rs,  we  sit  and  rest; 
When  we  rise,  ourselves  are  seen, 
Pictured  on  thy  glassy  breast.

Sister,  on  the  ground 
Many  flowers  we  found; 

Yet  we  will  be  seeking, 

On  the  green  bank  sleeping. 
By  the  rivulet, 

Tender  violet.

How  it  fills  the  air 
With  its  fragrance  there! 
Lovely  little  flower. 
Bending  to  the  shower. 
May  we  learn  of  thee 
Sweet  humility.

THE  LITTLE  WANDERERS’  SONG.  17 


What  care  we  for  all  your  pleasures, 
Ye  that  ride,  or  ye  that  sail  ? 

All  our  toil  is  but  a tale, 

While  we  look  for  flowery  treasures — 
New  delights  where’er  we  go, 

Can  we  weary?— No ! no ! no !

What  care  we  how  far  we  wander, 
Whether  rough  or  smooth  the  way  ? 
Whether  shines  the  sultry  ray. 
Whether  rolls  the  distant  thunder  ?— 
On  we’ll  go  till  night-fall  come. 

Then  away  to  home,  sweet  home ! 

2* 


Come  and  pluck  the  beauteous  flowers, 
See  them  smiling  all  around : 

Hark ! I hear  a charming  sound 
Swelling  from  yon  shady  bowers  I 
’Tis  the  little  timid  thrusli. 

Come  and  listen — Hush ! hush ! hush ! 
5 

Thus,  our  warm  affections  plighted 
Through  this  earthly  pilgrimage, 

We’ll  each  other’s  cares  assuage. 

Thus  with  heart  to  heart  united. 

May  we  ramble  hand  in  hand 
In  that  bright  and  better  land. 


Fleeting  time  conducts  us  on. 
Let  us  cheerful  follow, 
I'lll  we  come  where  Jesus  is. 


Where  there’s  no  more  sorrow. 
Hasting  onward  to  the  grave. 

Here  we  ask  one  favor. 

Saviour  lead  us  to  thv  throne, 

O forsake  us  nevei

In  joyous  May, 

In  autumn  day. 

Thy  glowing  beauties  shine; 

The  lovely  tints  of  fields  and  flowers 
The  purple  clusters  in  the  bowers. 
The  healthful  breeze. 

The  bloommg  trees, 

G Nature!  all  are  thine! 


The  fountain  clear. 

The  crystal  tear. 

Both  gushing  bright,  are  thine. 
The  birds  on  every  forest  tree 
Awake  their  silvery  melody, 
And  old  and  young 
In  noble  song 
Their  nobler  voices  join.

With  joy  and  glee 
W’’e’ll  follow  thee 
Our  life’s  long  journey  o’er: 

Where’er  we  see  thy  lovely  face. 

Where’er  thy  beauteous  steps  we  trace, 

Till  we  shall  stand 
In  yon  fair  land, 

And  Nature’s  God  adore.

While  our  boat,  a little  ranger, 

Through  the  meadows  glides  along, 
I’ree  from  fear  and  free  from  danger, 
Sing  we  now  our  little  song. 
Ocean’s  grandeur,  ocean’s  treasure,

With  our  humble  lot  contented. 
This  is  all  the  boon  we  crave  ; 
When  life’s  voyage  shall  be  ended, 
Peaceful  rest  beyond  the  grave.

I knew  the  place  at  evening, 
Where  in  the  sky  it  stood, 
Where  doves  all-day  were  cooinr 
O’er  green  and  shady  wooa 
3 

I looked  to  see  it  glimmer. 

Up  in  the  brilliant  blue; 

For  to  its  nightly  station. 

It  soon  would  come,  I knew*. 


32  THE  PLEASING  SPRING  HAS  COME  AGAIN. 


And  winter  storms  are  pastj 
Now  merrily  to  school  I’ll  go, 

Nor  fear  the  chilling  blast. 

I love  the  sun,  the  gentle  wind, 
And  bird,  and  flower,  and  bud. 
And  well  I love  my  teacher  kind. 
But  best  I love  my  God.

Prayer— OUR  FATHER  IN  HEAVEN. 


Andante. 


And  teach  us  to  know 
That  humble  compassion 
That  pardons  each  foe; 
Keep  us  from  temptation, 
From  weakness  and  sin, 
And  thine  be  the  glory 
Forever — Amen!

SONG  IN  THE  WOODS. 


Allegro. 


And  the  flowers  that  near  them  spring, 
Of  the  trees  above  our  head. 

And  the  grass  on  which  we  tread  ; 

Of  the  little  verdant  hills. 

Purling  brooks  and  running  rills. 


Ever  quivering  in  the  breeze. 

Send  forth  each  a separate  sound, 
To  the  echoing  woods  around; — 
Sounds  of  praise  to  him  who  made 
Pine  clad  hills  and  forest-glade. 


See  ! around  the  brilliant  flowers. 
Freshened  by  the  evening  showers  ; 
Bright  by  morning,  bright  by  night. 
When  comes,  and  when  fades  the  light. 
In  the  cool  and  leafy  grove. 

Hand  in  hand  we  love  to  rove. 


THE  SPRING  IS  COME. 


35 


O’er  all  the  earth  and  brilliant  sky; 
The  warm  sun  on  the  world  is  beaming, 
And  heaven  is  full  of  melody. 

Oh  listen,  &c. 


Go  to  the  rich  and  verdant  fielos , 
While  morning  glows  in  all  its  ftilness, 
Go  taste  the  joys  the  spring-time  yields 
And  listen,  &c.

The  blossoms  we’ll  pluck  with  a childish  delight, 

And  get  us  a bunch  of  the  red  and  the  white.

We’ll  plant  the  dark  roots,  and  the  shoots  we’ll  stick  down. 
To  weave  us  next  may-day  a flowery  crown.

Again  at  our  school,  when  the  loud  bell  shall  ring, 

Our  books  we  will  read,  and  our  songs  we  will  sing. 


SALUTATION  TO  THE  VILLAGE. 


37 


Andante. 


Oft  thy  pleasant  evening  shadows 
Make  our  troubled  passions  cease; 
Oft  thy  melody  of  rivers 

Fills  our  souls  with  joy  and  peace; 
Village,  tender  thought  promoting — 
Like  the  clouds  in  azure  floating; 
Village  in  the  silent  vale, 

Lovely  village!  thee  we  hail  ! 

4 


In  thy  green  and  sunny  pastures. 

Near  thy  bright  and  glassy  streams. 
Free  from  care,  we  love  to  wander. 
Cheered  by  summer’s  radiant  beam*. 
Scenes  of  sweetest  recollection 
Sacred  to  the  soul’s  reflection. 

Village  in  the  silent  vale. 

Lovely  village!  thee  we  hail ! 


38 


FAREWELL  TO  THE  VILLAGE 


t'are  ye  well,  ye  ancient  beeches, 

Which  have  shielded  oft  our  head ; 
fcslri.  be  green,  ye  sunny  meadows. 

Fields,  with  brightest  flowers  be  spread  : 
Fields,  where  oft  the  reaper’s  song 
S' ;veUed  in  echoes  sweet  and  strong, 
Farewell ! 


Pleasant  village  ! oft  thy  beauties 
Shall  revive  within  our  breast ; 
And  the  lovely  recollection 
Soothe,  like  visits  from  the  blest. 
Often  to  our  tearful  eyes 
Shall  thy  cherished  image  rise. 
Farewell.

Look  how  the  distant  window  panes, 
The  parting  sunbeams  lighten ; 

And  autumn’s  scarlet-colored  leaves, 
Touched  by  the  red  rays,  brighten : 
O see  our  pretty  village  there. 

No  place  on  earth  is  half  so  fair.

No  place  on  earth  is  half  so  fai£.

THE  BRIGHT  HEARTH 


41 


Here,  my  mother,  we  can  stay 
With  thee,  in  this  pleasant  room; 
Who  would  ask  abroad  to  play. 
When  so  cheerful  is  their  home? 

3 

Soft  the  song  of  summer  bird. 

Sweet  the  breath  of  summer  flower, 
But  a kind,  a loving  word. 

Comes  with  sweeter,  softer  power. 

4 

Mother,  when  the  loving  voice 
Checks  or  cheers,  we  will  obey. 
And  be  silent,  or  rejoice 
Through  this  stormy,  gloomy  day. 

5 

And  when  evening  shades  appear. 
Brighter  still  will  glow  our  hearth. 
Then  our  father  will  be  here. 

And  his  smile  will  join  our  mirth.

Come,  see  the  springing  co^n! 
Come  hear  the  soft  winds  singing! 
Come  hear  their  music  ringing. 

At  crimson  eve  and  mom.

Come  to  the  land  of  song — 

The  land  of  sweetest  fragrance  ; 
Where  pleasure  throws  its  radiance. 
And  music  floats  along. 


4 

Up  to  the  hill-tops  come — 

Where  bloom  the  smiling  flowers  ; 
And  spring,  with  freshened  powers, 
AwaJies  its  insect  hum.

Yet  will  I not  shrink  with  fear, 
When  the  thunder  crash  I hear; 
Soon  the  rainbow  will  appear. 
And  the  storm  be  o’er.

But  the  dark  clouds  fill  the  skies. 
And  the  vivid  lightning  flies: 
AVhen  the  cooling  winds  arise. 
And  our  pains  are  o’er.

In  the  summer’s  sultry  day, 

When  the  hot  winds  round  us  play. 
We  should  sink,  the  fever’s  prey, 
And  revive  no  more. 


Never  will  I feel  alarm,  / 

God  can  shield  us  from  all  harm; 
In  the  sunshine  or  the  storm, 
God  will  I adore.

Grant  us  thy  watchful  care, 
To  save  from  ev’ry  snare, 

O make  us  good  and  holy, 
And  teach  us  to  be  lowly, 

And  kind  in  every  feeling, 
And  to  each  other  yielding. 


If  pain  and  want  we  bear. 
Be  thou  our  Saviour  there. 
To  shine  upon  us  brighter. 
And  make  the  sorrows  lighter. 
That  are  to  mortals  given 
To  make  them  fit  for  heaven. 


4 

Lord,  give  us  daily  food. 

And  make  us  mild  and  good; 
And  when  the  clouds  of  evening 
Their  glowing  forms  are  weaving. 
We’ll  look  to  thee  our  Saviour 
And  praise  thee  for  thy  favor  1 


THE  SHEPHERD. 


55 


Then  turning,  the  shepherd,  with  joy-crowded  thought, 
Through  evening’s  first  twilight,  his  sweet  home  sought. 


3 

He  bade  kind  adieu  to  the  stars  o’er  his  head — 
The  Shepherd’s  days  flew,  but  his  peace  ne’er  fled. 

4 

As  brilliant  the  dreams  round  his  quiet  sleep  rise, 
As  Abel’s  the  Shepherd  of  Paradise.

MARY’S  LAMB. 


61 


Mary  went,  The  lamb  was  sure  to  go ; He  followed  her  to  school  one  day — ^That 


was  against  the  rule,  It  made  the  children  laugh  and  play,  to  see  a lamb  at  school.

So  the  teacher  turned  him  out. 
But  still  he  lingered  near. 

And  waited  patiently  about. 

Till  Mary  did  appear; 

And  then  he  ran  to  her,  and  laid 
His  head  upon  her  arm. 

As  if  he  said — I’m  not  afraid — 
You’ll  keep  me  from  all  harm.

What  makes  th’  lamb  love  Mary  so! 

The  eager  children  cry — 

‘O  Mary  loves  the  lamb,  you  know,* 
The  teacher  did  reply; — 

‘And  you  each  gentle  animal 
In  confidence  may  bind. 

And  make  them  follow  at  your  call. 
If  you  are  always  Hnd.

THE  CRICKET. 


In  the  rustling  trees; 
Wakeful  as  the  starlight 
Morning,  Noon,  and  Midnight 
Chirping,  chirping,  chirping, 
Chirp  away  in  peace. 

3 

Soon  the  leaves  o’er  shading, 
Will  be  seared  and  fading, 
Scattered  on  the  breeze; 
While  the  days  are  lovely, 

O then  let  us  hear  thee. 
Chirping,  chirping,  chirping. 
Chirp  away  in  peace. 


RICH,  AFTER  DULL  AND  SHADE-BROODING  NIGHT.  63 


As  the  dew-drops  to  the  flower, 

Man,  to  thee  is  heavenly  grace; 

O be  thou,  then,  to  thy  race. 

As  the  dew-drops  to  the  flower. 

3 

Kindly  the  bower  with  shades  overspread. 
Shield  from  hot  noon  the  languishing 
head. 

Like  a bowery  shade  in  summer, 

Man,  to  thee  is  heavenly  grace; 

O be  thou,  then,  to  thy  race. 

Like  a bowery  shade  in  summer. 


As  a fount  to  sun-parched-pastures, 

Man,  to  thee  is  heavenly  grace; 

O be  thou,  then,  to  thy  race. 

As  a fount  to  sun-parched  pastures.

Pure  from  the  storm’s  dread  cloud-tents 
unfurled. 

Streams  forth  the  flag  of  peace  o’er  th« 
world: 

Like  the  rain-bow  after  tempest, 

Man,  to  thee  is  heavenly  grace; 

O be  thou,  then,  to  thy  race, 

Like  the  rainbow  after  tempest.

See  how  sprightly  it  is  burning!
