4 :::Glory be to God on high.
 * O Thou, who when I did complain.
 * Eternal Beam of Light divine.
 * My God, if I may call Thee mine.
 * Peace, doubting heart—my God's I am.
 * Arise, my soul, arise, Thy Saviour's sacrifice!
 * Saviour, the world's and mine.
 * Jesu, my God and King.
 * Servant of all, to toil for man.
 * Summon'd my labour to renew.

Then follows the bevy of Festival Hymns, of which three are —immortal


 * Hark, how all the welkin rings.
 * Sons of men, behold from far.
 * Christ the Lord is risen to-day.
 * Hail the day that sees Him rise.
 * Granted is the Saviour's prayer.

Besides some already published, the following translations by John Wesley are included :


 * O Thou, who all things canst control.
 * Jesu, whose glory's streaming rays.
 * Into Thy gracious hands I fall..
 * Commit thou all thy griefs.
 * Monarch of all, with lowly fear.
 * O God, what offering shall I give?
 * Jesu, Thy boundless love to me.
 * O God, of good the unfathomed sea.
 * O God of God, in whom combine.
 * Lo, God is here! let us adore.
 * O Thou, whom sinners love, whose care.
 * Eternal depth of love divine.
 * Thee will I love, my strength, my tower.
 * Come, Saviour Jesu, from above (from A. Bourignon).

Methodism had now found its sacred poet. We turn over the leaves of this volume, feeling that—


 * The rock is smitten, and to future years
 * Springs ever fresh the tide of holy tears
 * And holy music, whispering peace
 * Till time and sin together cease.
