PREFACE.

THIS book was first published in 1840, and is now re-printed with very few omissions, and a few additional hymns. The Devotional Services at the close of the volume are designed to be read in alternate sentences, by the superintendent, and the teachers and pupils. For a portion of these Services, as well as for important suggestions in the revision of the work, the compiler is happy to express his indebtedness to Rev. Chandler Robbins, D. D.

INDEX.

ALMIGHTY Father, heavenly King..
Almighty God, in humble prayer..
Almighty God, thy gracious power...
A minute, how soon it is flown...
Among the deepest shades of night...
A mourning class, a vacant seat...
And is the gospel peace and love....
And now another day is gone..
And now, my soul, another year..
Angels, roll the rock away..
Another day its course has run.......
Another fleeting day is gone..
Another six days' work is done......
As flows the rapid river...

As once the Saviour rose on high..
Attune the heart to mournful strains.

........

Before I close my eyes in sleep...
Before I close my eyes to-night..
Behold that arch of varied hue...
Behold th' amazing sight.....
Behold, the blind their sight receive..
Behold the western evening light.....
Behold where, breathing love divine..
Behold where, in a mortal form....
By cool Siloam's shady rill....
