The Social Psalmist:
A New Collection of Hymns for Conference Meet
ings and Family Worship.
BY BARON STOW & S. F. SMITH.
THIS selection has been in preparation nearly 5
years, during which time it has been subjected
to repeated examination and careful revision. The
object in its preparation has been to furnish a seduc
tion of choice hymns for the Vestry and Family Cir
cle, of moderate size and at trifling expense, exact
ly suited to the various stages and conditions of
the Conference Room as well as in Family Worship.
Hymns, fur instance, on topics embracing Prayer,
Praise, warning, invitation, entreaty, regeneration,
repentance, faith, times of declension, times of revi
val, receiving and dismissing menbers; the Church
in prosperity, and in adversity, Missionary, Sab
bath School, and maternal meetings; meeting and
parting, sickness and health, opening and closing
year; brevity of time, death, judgement, heaven,
*&c. It has been the aim to supply hymns not only
of elevated poetic and musical merit, but of true de
votional spirit. A selection of some of the choicest
hymns in the Psalmist, adapted to the design of this
book, will here be found, together with several new
hyms, as well as those long familiar in the confer
ence meeting, and hallowed by early associations of
home, and social prayer. Their familiarity, instead
of being an objection to them, is their highest praise.
That they have expressed the devout aspirations of
those who have passed on to the worship of the heav
enly temple, gives them a charm which compositions
wholly new conld not claim. In the minds of differ
ent Christians,we believe that most of the hymns in
this book will summon up some sweet and holy re
oollections.
The work contains 350 Hyms, besides Doxologics
in various meters, not numbered in the list of hyms.
They are the productions of 134 different authors ;
115 are by Watts, 18 by Steele. 17 by Dodridge. 14
by Newton, 9 by Wesly, 5 each by Cowper, Faw
cett, Kelly, and Smith, 4 each by Heber Bcddoine,
Stennett andToplady, and others by Swain, Mont
gomery, Hart, Dwight, Barbauld, Hyde, Reed,
ileginbotham, Grant, Cennick, Oliver, Edmeston,
Kenn, Do Fleury. Scott, Dobell, Baffles, Pitt, Noel,
Medly, Cotton, Ryland, V illiams. Boden, Cottrel,
Eosran, Condor, Col'yer, Milman, Kirkham,White,
Collins, linbinson, Dunoan, Stowel, Cobbin, Kings
bury, Tliornby, Allen, Grigg, &c. ‘1 her ■is a large
variety of every description of meter, embracing 83
Long, 119 Common, 5-1 Short, and 94 of various pe
niiar motors.
§©M.{REI 0, aTFH& &IB
It was first contemplated having Music in the vol
ume, but on consultation and reflection it was deem
ed unadvisable, as it must necessarily add to the
size and expense of the book, und music not familiar
enough to sing in social worship without notes is of
little avail, and is seldom used by those even unac
quainted with music, and most of those who usual
ly sing in the conference meeting are entirely unac
quainted with the rudiments of music, and conse
quently are in no way benefitted by this addition ;
and not unfrequently the spirit of devotion is retar
ded, by the use of tunes not familiar to those who
usually join in this favourite soul-stirring service.
The work contains three valuable Indexes; an
Index of First Lines, a General Index, and a very
full Particular Index of Subjects.
The type, and size of the page, are the same as
the 18mo., or pew size of the Psalmist. It is prin
ted on good paper, and strongly bound in sheep, and
is afforded at the very low price of twenty-Jive cents
per copy, and $2 50 per dozen.
Copies for examination furnished clergymen
gratis, on application to the publishers. The work,
in paper covers, can be sent by mail at a trifling ex
pense for postage.
