III. INDEX TO HYMNS.

[As the titles of hymns are not always the same in the different denomi-
national hymn-books, and as we do not wish to quote any particular hymn-
book in preference to others, we make this an index to the first lines. We
have chosen the hymns best adapted to use in reading rather than those
which have become popular from the tunes they are commonly sung to.
We do not claim that the whole of each hymn has the character of the
division to which it is referred; for it often happens that the first part of a
hymn is in a joyous, triumphant mood, while the latter part is a solemn
prayer; but the general sentiment of the selection will be found to accord
with the classification here given.]

I. NARRATIVE, DESCRIPTIVE, DIDACTIC.

.....

Am I a soldier of the cross
And is the gospel peace and love?
Bleeding hearts defiled by sin
Broad is the road that leads to death
Flee as a bird to your mountain...
Glorious things of Thee are spoken.
Go bury thy sorrow ......
God moves in a mysterious way
Go, labor on; spend and be spent
Hasten, sinner, to be wise....
My soul, be on thy guard

Prayer is the breath of God in man.
Prayer is the soul's sincere desire.

There is an hour of peaceful rest..
There's a wilderness in God's mercy.
There were ninety and nine that safely lay
Though trouble assail and dangers affright
Watchman, tell us of the night...
When marshalled on the mighty plain...
While shepherds watched their flocks

Work, for the night is coming

II. LOVE, BEAUTY, TRANQUILLITY.

All my doubts I give to Jesus.

Asleep in Jesus

Fade, fade, each earthly joy

Sidney Dyer.

.Mrs. M. Mackay.

Mrs. Horatius Bonar.

III. GRAVE, SOLEMN, SERIOUS, PATHETIC.

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed
Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat
Arise, my soul, arise
