Copyright 1950 by Gospel Perpetuating Fund Fort Dodge, Iowa Printed in the United States of America HYMNS OF WORSHIP AND REMEMBRANCE Scriptural Hymns selected for Worship, Breaking of Bread and Prayer. Also Second Coming, Christian En- couragement, Weddings, Funerals a n d Baptisms. Gospel Hymns have been omitted. PUBLISHED BY GOSPEL PERPETUATING FUND Fort Dodge, Iowa FOREWORD HE hymns in this book are the result of a real exercise before the Lord on the part of many who had felt, for a long time, that a new hymn book was needed, which should contain a selection of the most suitable hymns from the four or five dif- ferent hymn books currently used by assemblies of Christians who seek to gather in Scriptural simplicity, and also to include some other hymns not found in these books. It has taken well over a year to compile these hymns, select appropriate tunes, and agree as to their wording. Each com- piler was consulted individually as to this selection, and the advice of other experienced brethren sought. Later on, a group met together in Toronto for the final editing of the book. The selection of the words was by far the biggest task. Some wrote asking that the original words of the author be retained; while others requested that the version in their own particular hymn book be used. The majority of old hymns used today have been altered over a period of years, and this accounts for the many versions of the same hymn. Some owners of copyrighted hymns adopt the reasonable attitude that they would rather have the compilers of a hymn book change a few words of a hymn in order to give it greater acceptance, than to discard it altogether, for people usually want to sing what they believe. The compilers feel that this is a fair basis upon which to judge the worth of a hymn. Thus, in this book, the best version has been retained, and other minor changes kept to a minimum. No issue was raised in regard to the use of the singular “I” or the plural “we.” That is, whether we should join, as individuals, and collectively sing “I”; or lose our individual identity. and sing “we.” Such well-known hymns as: “When I Survey the Won- drous Cross” have therefore been left unchanged. Other hymns, written in both the singular and the plural were selected purely on the merit of their words. Grateful appreciation is extended to those many brethren who spent long hours gathering lists of hymns and tunes in order to assist the compilers. The compilers, in turn, have worked together with consideration and harmony to produce what they sincerely believe is the best collection of hymns that are particularly suitable for worship and the remembrance of our Lord J esus Christ. The compilers recommend that, as far as possible, each hymn be sung to the tune indicated. However, at the foot of many of the hymns an alternate tune, which may be better known or pre- ferred, is suggested, together with its number in the book. It will also prove helpful if the one whose responsibility it is to raise the tune would mark his own copy, and put the first line of the hymn most generally associated with the name of the tune along side of it. For example, “What a Friend We Have In Jesus,” is associated with the tune named “Erie.” The hymn, “Love Divine, all Love Excelling” is usually sung to the tune en- titled “Beecher,” while “Nearer My God to Thee” is linked to the tune “Bethany.” A complete index of all the tunes will be found at the back of the book. The hymns have been classified according to their general subject matter, and this classification is indicated on the top of each page in the following order: “Opening and Praise,” “Wor- ship,” “Remembrance and the Cross,” “Second Coming and Glory,” “Closing and Encouragement,” “Prayer,” “Miscellaneous,” “Marriage,” “Funeral,” “Baptism,” and “The Word of God.” Six different indexes in the order named will be found at the back of the book. 1. The names of the authors or translators of the words of the hymns. 2. The names of the composers of the tunes, or their sources. 3. A complete list of the various meters, together with their names and the numbers of the hymns in which they appear. 4. An alphabetical list of the names of all these tunes, and the numbers of the hymns to which these tunes have been put. 5. The first line of each verse of each hymn and the chorus, except the first verse. This should prove to be a great aid in locating any hymn in the book, when the first line of the first verse has been forgotten. 6. The first line of the first verse, and the title of the hymn; or the General Index. We humbly commend this collection of hymns to the One, Who is the “Head over all things to the Church, which is His body,” (Eph. 1:22-23), with the earnest desire that, through its judicious use, much spiritual and intelligent worship shall ascend to the One who seeks the worship of His blood-bought people, (John 4:23-24); and that the remembrance of the Lord Jesus Christ, our risen and glorified Lord and Savior, may be sweet to those He has redeemed by His own most precious blood. (I Cor. 11: 23-26) . May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God our Father and the communion of the Holy Spirit rest upon all that “in every place call upon the name of J esus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.” (I Cor. 1:2).
