SINCE the first edition of this volume was published, in 1876, in Melbourne, Australia, the Lord has called away to Himself the beloved Author of these Hymns.
The present edition is a reproduction of the former one, except that a more careful punctuation has been introduced.
A few verbal errors have also been corrected, and two or three slight changes, indicated in footnotes, have been admitted, for the sake of clearness, or more entire conformity to Scripture.
The Editors desire to add their testimony to the edification received by them in going over this collection of Hymns, and venture to express their confidence that the Lord will graciously use it for the blessing and comfort of those of His saints who may read them.
