INTROITS AND HYMNS, WITH SOME ANTHEMS ADAPTED TO THE Seasons of the Christian Pear. SIXTH EDITION. LONDON: JOSEPH MASTERS, ALDERSGATE STREET, AND NEW BOND STREET. MDCCCLVII. 1857 LIBRARY OF UNION THEOLOGICAL NEW YORK, HENRY DAY, Esq. LONDON: PRINTED BY JOSEPH MASTERS AND CO., 1857 I NOTICE. THE Compiler of this Collection of Hymns does not feel it necessary to make any apology for adding to the number of Hymnals already in existence. At present, (and for every reason we ought to be thankful that it is so,) none can claim the slightest degree of authority, and it is clearly competent to any individual to do what he can in furtherance of the revival of a more correct Hymnology.. A third edition of this Collection having been called for, the Compiler has added some miscellaneous hymns for the season from Trinity to Advent, in compliance with the wishes of those by whom it is used. In all other respects it remains unaltered. The following Hymns in this Collection are translated by the Rev. Edward Caswall, and are inserted by his permission. Nos. 19, 28, 29, 30, 31, 44, 45, 46, 53, 55, 62, 71, 80, 89, 94, 100, 102, 117, 119, 122, 124, 133, 142, 147, 155, 160, 164, 172, and the Hymn for Good Friday. 67 INTROITS. ADVENT. Isaiah xlv. 8.
