INDEX OF FIRST LINES
A rock there is whose homely front 200
A saint, to few but God well known 151
A wreathed garland of deserved praise 48
Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide 247
Again, O Lord, I ope my eyes 242
Ah! ev'ry day mid bring a while 267
Ah! give me, Lord, the single eye 170
Ah! what time wilt Thou come? when shall that cry 108
Alas, my God, that we should be 136
All after pleasures as I rid one day 32
All praise to Him who dwells in bliss 175
Almighty Father of mankind 167
And do they so! have they a sense 91
Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat 180
As are those apples, pleasant to the eye 25
As due by many titles, I resign 19
As I in hoary Winter's night stood shivering in the snow 14
As I wer readen ov a stwone 265
As in the night I restless lie 150
As on my bed at dawn I mused and pray'd 321
At midnight, when yon azure fields on high 318
At noon a shower had fallen, and the clime 319
At the Lord's Table waiting, robed and stoled 319
At the round earth's imagined corners blow 19
Avore the time when zuns went down 266
Awake, my Soul, and with the sun 142
Awake, my soul, lift up thine eyes 193
Away, despair! my gracious Lord doth hear 44
Behold the sun, that seem'd but now 135
Behold we come, dear Lord, to Thee 134
Beneath a sable veil and shadows deep 25
Beneath our feet and o'er our head 198
Be not afraid to pray--to pray is right 240
Bethlehem, above all cities blest 263
366Bless'd are the pure in heart 223
Blest be Thy love, dear Lord 130
Blest pair of Sirens, pledges of Heaven's joy 67
Bright Queen of Heaven? God's Virgin Spouse 99
Bright shadows of true Rest! some shoots of bliss 82
Brightest and best of the Sons of the morning 194
By cool Siloam's shady rill 196
Children of the Heavenly King 179
Christ, Whose glory fills the skies 175
Close now thine eyes, and rest secure 123
Come, let us join our friends above 176
Come, O Thou Traveller unknown 172
Come, Thou long-expected Jesus 171
Come, we shepherds, whose blest sight 111
Compared with Christ, in all beside 171
Creator Spirit, by whose aid 138
Dear, beauteous Saint! more white than Day 100
Dear be the Church, that, watching o'er the needs 204
Dear Lord, 'tis finish'd! and now he 79
Death, thou wast once an uncouth hideous thing 50
Death was full urgent with thee, Sister dear 294
Doom'd as we are our native dust 203
Draw, Holy Ghost, Thy seven-fold veil 230
Draw near as early as we may 260
Each thing below here hath its day 75
Each trial has its weight; which, whoso bears 288
E'en like two little bank-dividing brooks 121
Eternal Mover, whose diffused glory 58
Fain would my thoughts fly up to Thee 131
Fair, solitary path! whose blessed shades 85
Fairest of all the lights above 155
Fairest of morning lights appear 69
Far from the world, O Lord, I flee 184
Fly, envious Time, till thou run out thy race 67
Fountain of Sweets! Eternal Dove 116
Frail Life! in which, through mists of human breath 68
Fresh fields and woods! the Earth's fair face 92
From pain to pain, from woe to woe 317
Give me a tender spotless child 252
Give me the lowest place: not that I dare 274
367Give me the wings of faith to rise 158
Glory to God! and to the Power Who came 204
Glory to Thee, my God, this night 144
God of the living, in Whose eyes 311
God that madest Earth and Heaven 198
Go not far from me, O my strength 312
Great God Who knowest each man's need 323
Hail, scenes of holy grandeur! hail 243
Happy those early days, when I 80
Hark! how all the welkin rings 174
Hark, my soul, how every thing 132
Hark, my soul! it is the Lord 182
Hark the glad sound! The Saviour comes 161
Hark, the sound of holy voices, chanting at the crystal sea 311
Hear what the voice from Heaven proclaims 157
Heaven in the depth and height is seen 255
Heavenly Messias, sweet anointed King 16
He is gone--beyond the skies 309
Here is the spring where waters flow 12
Her eyes are homes of silent prayer 324
He sang of God--the mighty source 164
Hither thou com'st: the busy wind all night 96
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty 195
Holy is the sick man's room 260
How are Thy servants blest, O Lord 139
How beautiful it is to be alive 275
How fresh, O Lord, how sweet and clean 46
How long, great God, how long must I 120
How peacefully the broad and golden moon 322
How shall I sing that Majesty 135
How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds 180
Hues of the rich unfolding morn 231
Hush! my dear, lie still and slumber 158
I cannot reach it; And my striving eye 81
I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be 270
I have a life with Christ to live 280
I heard the voice of Jesus say 308
I landed on Iona's holy isle 319
I mark'd a rainbow in the north 212
I mark'd when vernal meads were bright 253
368I oft recal the moments dear 147
I praised the Earth, in beauty seen 196
I rise and raise my clasped hands to Thee 300
1 said sometimes with tears 128
I saw Eternity the other night 102
I saw thee once, and nought discern'd 284
1 saw this day a miser old 147
I say to thee, do thou repeat 234
I sing the birth was born to-night 23
I sought for Peace, but could not find 77
I thought to meet no more, so dreary seem'd 261
I travell'd on, seeing the hill, where lay 41
I walk'd the other day, (to spend my hour) 93
I worship Thee, sweet Will of God 316
Iesu is in my heart; His sacred name 51
If I could shut the gate against my thoughts 28
If we with earnest effort could succeed 237
In childhood, when with eager eyes 283
In evil long I took delight 179
In some lone walk through sunburnt fields 302
In stature perfect, and with every gift 241
In this world, (the Isle of Dreams) 71
In token that thou shalt not fear 239
Infinite Power, Eternal Lord 155
It is a beauteous evening, calm and free 205
Jerusalem, that place divine 26
Jesus! I love Thy charming name 160
Jesus! why dost Thou love me so 313
Justice doth call for vengeance on my sins 76
King of glory, King of peace 42
Lamb of God, I look to Thee 172
Late, late, so late! and dark the night and chill 323
Latest born of Jesse's race 286
Lead, Kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom 300
Leave me, O Love, which reachest but to dust 10
Let all the world in every corner sing 28
Let folly praise that fancy loves, I praise and love that Child 15
369Lift up your, heads, great Gates, and sing 116
Light of the lonely pilgrim's heart 307
Little lamb, who made thee 187
Lo, cast at random on the wild sea land 254
Lord, come away 127
Lord, I have wrestled through the livelong night 304
Lord, in this dust Thy sovereign voice 282
Lord, in Thy Name Thy servants plead 258
Lord, it belongs not to my care 128
Lord! it is not life to live 171
Lord Jesus, loving hearts and dear 262
Lord, let the angels praise Thy name 36
Lord, make me coy and tender to offend 35
Lord of my heart, by Thy last cry 219
Lord of mercy and of might 195
Lord, Thou hast given me a cell 73
Lord, weary of a painful way 237
Lord, what unvalued pleasures crown'd 58
Lord, when I lift mine eyes to Thee 304
Lord, when the sense of Thy sweet grace 111
Lord, with what care hast Thou begirt us round 29
Love bade me welcome; yet my soul drew back 51
Love, lift me up upon thy golden wings 3
Mark you the floor? that square and speckled stone 30
Meeting with Time, 'Slack thing,' said I 38
Messiah! at Thy glad approach 167
Methinks I draw but sickly breath 27
More oft than once Death whisper'd in mine ear 24
Mother of God! O, not in vain 263
My glass is half unspent; Forbear t' arrest 123
My God, now I from sleep awake 145
My God, where is that ancient heat towards Thee 28
My little son, who look'd from thoughtful eyes 278
My Lord, my Love, was crucified 134
My soul doth pant towards Thee 126
My soul, there is a country 90
My spirit longeth for Thee 161
Never weather-beaten sail more willing bent to shore 22
Never yet could careless Sleep 114
370No; 'tis in vain to seek for bliss 153
Not seldom, clad in radiant vest 205
Now gladdeth every living creature 1
Nurse, let me draw the baby's veil aside 257
O aged Saint? far off I heard 284
O book! Life's guide! how shall we part 84
O comrade bold, of toil and pain 291
O Day most calm, most bright 31
O day of life, of light, of love 110
O fool, of short-lived goods possest 146
O God! I know and do confess 87
O God, impart Thy blessing to my cries 320
O God, our help in ages past 157
O Gracious God, O Saviour sweet 15
O holiest Truth! how have I lied to Thee 300
O Holy Lord, who with the Children Three 292
O Lord, how wonderful in depth and height 294
O Lord, my best desire fulfil 183
O Lord my God, do Thou Thy holy will 217
O man, forgive thy mortal foe 325
O Mighty God, Which for us men 11
O only Source of all our light and life 279
O sing the glories of our Lord 70
O thou unknown, Almighty Cause 185
O Thy bright looks! Thy glance of love 83
Oft have I read of sunny realms, where skies are pure at even 249
Oh blessing, wearing semblance of a curse 236
Oh come and mourn with me awhile 317
Oh God that madest earth and sky, the darkness and the day 198
Oh help us, Lord! each hour of need 199
Oh I could go through all life's troubles singing 314
Oh! say not, dream not, heavenly notes 229
Oh thou of dark forebodings drear 235
Oh weep not o'er thy children's tomb 194
Our doctor had call'd in another, I never had seen him before 325
Pleasant are Thy courts above 248
Poor Soul, the centre of my sinful earth 11
Praise to God, immortal praise 192
Praise to the Holiest in the height 298, 299
Prayer is the soul's sincere desire 189
Prune thou thy words, the thoughts control 290
371
Quiet, Lord, my froward heart 181
Red o'er the forest peers the setting sun 213
Rise, O my soul! with thy desires to heaven 59
Rock of Ages, cleft for me 170
Saviour, when in dust to Thee 191
Say, hast thou track'd a traveller's round 289
Say, who is he in deserts seen 285
Seek the Lord, and in His ways persever 22
She is not dead--she only sleeps 244
She sat and wept beside His feet; the weight 240
Shepherds, rejoice, lift up your eyes 154
Show me more love, my dearest Lord 57
Sighs--whether swift to Heaven they rise 149
Sin is with man at morning-break 215
Since I in storms used most to be 88
Sing aloud, His praise rehearse 119
Sometimes a light surprises 183
Soul, which to hell wast thrall 26
Strange to our ears the church-bells of our home 218
Sure thou didst flourish once! and many springs 95
Sweet baby, sleep! what ails my dear 125
Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright 34
Sweet dreams, form a shade 186
Sweet, harmless lives!--upon whose holy leisure 97
Sweet Peace, where dost thou dwell,--I humbly crave 39
Sweet place, sweet place alone 129
Take me away, and in the lowest deep 298
Tax not the royal Saint with vain expense 204
That was the Shepherd of the flock; He knew 313
The church do zeem a touchen zight 264
The Church shone brightly in her youthful days 287
The door of death is made of gold 188
The flash of youthful light is past and gone 306
The fleet astronomer can bore 40
The golden gates are lifted up 310
The Holy Book, like the Eighth Sphere, does shine 138
The last and greatest Herald of heaven's King 26
The Lord hath builded for Himself 244
The Lord will happiness divine 182
The lucky World shew'd me one day 101
372The merry World did on a day 37
The mid-day sun, with fiercest glare 226
The night is come, and all the world is still 303
The number of Thine own complete 296
The pleasant years that seem, so swift that run 3
The Son of God in doing good 219
The song of God, so nobly sung 245
The sound of war! In earth and air 197
The spacious firmament on high 141
The world has cycles in its course, when all 287
There is a book, who runs may read 206
There is a Stream, which issues forth 135
These sweeter far than lilies are 137
They are all gone into the world of light 107
This Advent moon shines cold and clear 270
This did not once so trouble me 236
This is the month, and this the happy morn 60
This is the Saint of gentleness and kindness 285
Tho' death met love upon thy dying smile 322
Thou art not Truth! for he that tries 104
Thou cam'st from Heaven to Earth, that we 99
Thou hast made me, and shall Thy work decay 19
Thou that know'st for whom I mourn 106
Thou Whose nature cannot sleep 69
Through Contemplation's optics I have seen 121
Through that pure virgin shrine 97
Thy servants pray, O hear us, Lord 323
Time was, I shrank from what was right 292
Time! where didst thou those years inter 55
Times without number have I pray'd 176
'Tis gone, that bright and orbed blaze 233
'Tis only our dull hearts that tire so soon 255
'Tis true, of old th' unchanging sun 210
To God, ye choir above, begin 184
To leave unseen so many a glorious sight 238
To music bent is my retired mind 22
Triumphant conqueror of death and hell 17
'Twas so; I saw thy birth:--That drowsy lake 96
'Twixt gleams of joy and clouds of doubt 281
Two brothers freely cast their lot 287
373
Unfold! unfold! Take in His light 88
Unveil, O Lord, and on us shine 290
View me, Lord, a work of Thine 21
Wake, all my hopes, lift up your eyes 132
We look around, the murky sky is still 301
We scatter seeds with careless hand 252
We were not by when Jesus came 225
Weep not for me 295
Weighing the steadfastness and state 104
What am I who dare call Thee, God 52
What God gives, and what we take 72
What is House and what is Home 115
What is it that amid some earthly home 305
What is the saddest sweetest lowest sound 310
What, many times I musing ask'd, is Man 235
What's this Morn's bright eye to me 113
What wealth to earth our God hath given 276
When all Thy mercies, O my God 140
When first God stirr'd me, and the Church's word 290
When first Thou didst entice to Thee my heart 32
When first thy eyes unveil, give thy soul leave 82
When first Thy sweet and gracious eye 47
When for the thorns with which I long, too long 78
When gathering clouds around I view 190
When I consider how my light is spent 68
When I look back, and in myself behold 2
When I look back upon my former race 289
When Israel's ruler on the royal bed 162
When Jesus, by the Virgin brought 166
When Lazarus left his charnel-cave 324
When my devotions could not pierce 33
When Nature tries her finest touch 216
When our heads are bow'd with woe 200
When the four quarters of the world shall rise 321
When thy lone dreams sweet visions see 274
When travail hours are spent and o'er 251
When weakness now do strive wi' might 268
When with these eyes, closed now by Thee 109
Whene'er goes forth Thy dread command 297
Where is it mothers learn their love 228
Where is Thy favour'd haunt, eternal Voice 207
Where the remote Bermudas ride 77
374Where will they stop, those breathing Powers 201
Where'er my flattering passions rove 156
Where's now the object of thy fears 117
Wherefore shrink, and say, 'Tis vain' 259
While shepherds watch'd their flocks by night 152
While that my soul repairs to her devotion 30
While they here sojourn'd, their presence drew us 280
Whither, O whither didst thou fly 80
Wish not, dear friends, my pain away 221
Wilt Thou forgive that sin where I begun 20
With sick and famish'd eyes 43
With what deep murmurs, through Time's silent stealth 92
Who seeketh finds: what shall be his relief 279
Who to the golden Sun's long restless race 17
Why dost thou beat so quick, my heart 315
Why should we faint and fear to live alone 222
Why they have never known the way before 301
Why, wedded to the Lord, still yearns my heart 288
Ye flaming Powers, and winged warriors bright 66
Ye golden lamps of Heaven, farewell 159
Ye hermits blest, ye holy maids 208
Ye humble souls, that seek the Lord 160
Yes, mark the words, deem not that Saints alone 282
