Excerpt from Songs for the Sanctuary, or Hymns and Tunes for Christian Worship Such success is unmistakable; and for so extraordinary a welcome I am truly grateful to God and to his people. It seemed to me that the least I could do was to put the pages at once into as fresh a form as possible. The electrotype plates were quite worn with nearly a quarter of a million impressions. These I have made new from beginning to end. Two hymns only I have ventured toadd, the last on the list. The names of all the known authors have been given. Forty or more pieces of excellent music have been inserted. These are all the changes I could make, without destroying the uni formity of the editions. In practical use, no difference will be perceived. Some pages are altered in numbers; but the Indexes follow not pages, but hymns. A new edition has also been prepared for Chapel use; more portable, and more familiar in the selection of music[ It contains six hundred hymns only. _this I have been able to enrich with some of the favorite tunes, which employ choruses and refrains. The advantage of having a Manual for singing the same in general form for the Sanctuary and the Lecture - room, must be apparent to all. Once more I commit the work of my hands to the kindness and charity of my brethren. Twenty years ago, I used to repeat to myself a little verse of Robert Burns: Ev'n then a wish - (i mind its power) A wish, that to my latest hour Will strongly heave my breast That I, for poor auld Scotland's sake, Some nsefu' plan or book could make, Or sing a sang, at least!
