JOHN FREEMAN YOUNG, S. T. D.,
BISHOP OF FLORIDA.
JAMES POTT & COMPANY,
14. ASTOR PLACE, NEW YORK. 1887.
preface.
THE compilation of this work was begun by Bishop Young more than twenty years before his lamented death, a very large portion of it having been stereotyped before his election to the Episcopate of Florida. The pressure of new duties and responsibilities interrupted its completion ; but at length it was resumed, and some further progress was made. A few days before his departure, he expressed the desire that, should he leave the work incomplete, it should be put into my hands to see it through the press. I had been familiar with it from its first beginning, and in some parts of it had given such cooperation as I could. The message came to me as the dying request of an old and dear friend, and I could do nothing but consent. Mrs. Young for- warded to me all the proofs of the work already in plate, as arranged by the Bishop himself; — the title of the book, and all the headings and subdivisions, and the order in which they are arranged, and the order of the Hymns in each sub- division, being entirely the work of the Bishop himself. Moreover, he had marked, in different places, the titles of other Hymns to be inserted ; and all these — so far as I could find them — I have copied out and inserted accordingly. Nothing worth mentioning has been added by me.
In examining the mass of papers sent on with the proofs, I found several letters from Miss Frances Elizabeth Cox, with alterations in the text of some of her translations from the German : and these alterations have accordingly been followed.
Some parts of the Bishop's original design I have been compelled to abandon. An elaborate treatise on the Ecclesiastical Modes had been trans- lated for him from the German, and he meant it to be included in the book. But — as it reached me — there was no indication as to author, title, or publisher of the original German work. The translator was not sufficiently well ac- quainted with German, English, or Music, to do his work correctly, and innu- merable corrections would need to be made: yet this was impossible without the original to refer to. Still worse, reference was made on every page to musical examples, without which the text was unintelligible : and yet not one of these examples had been given by the translator! The omission of this part of the contemplated work, therefore, was a simple necessity.
Then, again, I found a note, at the foot of many pages containing old Gregorian melodies in a reduced or altered form, to this effect : "For the original form of this melody, see Appendix, page ■ — -." But I found nothing prepared for
iv PREFACE.
any such Appendix ; and, the materials in my possession being insufficient to supply what was needed, that part of the original plan has necessarily been dropped also.
For the greater part of the work, the proof-reading was done by the Bishop himself, and the text of Greek and Latin and German Hymns is here given as he left it. The very large use made by him of the musical skill of Mr. Herman R. Schrceder, both in composing and in arranging, is evident on the slightest inspection ; and this was completed by the musical proof-reading of the same accomplished veteran in the knowledge of Ancient Church Music. The obligations to the learned work of Dr. F. Layriz are also very extensive.
From letters in the mass of papers sent me, the Bishop seems to have been very careful as to the legal rights of composers and authors : and if it shall appear that, in any case, these have been trespassed upon, I can only beg the parties aggrieved to be assured that the trespass has been unintentional.
In some few cases, Hymns have been inserted — as Bishop Young left them for insertion — without the words in the original language, and without any indi- cation of the source from which the Melody was taken. These missing things he, doubtless, intended to supply, and would have supplied had he lived ; but it has not always been in my power to make up for the loss, and I have, there- fore, printed these Hymns as they stood.
The peculiar feature of this work — its giving the Hymn in its original language as well as in an English version, and with the Music besides — will make it of peculiar and permanent value to all who are students in the wide field of Hymnology. And it will be the most important literary Memorial of the learned and laborious Bishop to whom it owes its existence. My only regret is, that he should have left his work in any respect unfinished, and that I should have been called upon to do imperfectly, what would have been so much better if completed by himself.

Do Thou befriend them.
5. We have no refuge ; none on earth to aid us, Save Thee, O Father, who Thine own haft
made us; [lonely,
But Thy dear prefence will not leave them Who feck Thee only.

'• £/Y[HE day is gone,
HiP- And left alone, I long for that bleft morrow, Which (hall fet me wholly free From all care and forrow.
2. The night is here, Oh ! be Thou near,
With Thy bright lamp, O Jesus; From the night of fin and death, Speedily releafe us.
3. Whate'er doth move, Below, above,
Now from its work repofes ; Show me, Lord, Thy work in me, Ere mine eye-lid clofes.
4 When fhall the day
Abide alway, By night no more fucceeded ? When the day of days (hall rife, Where no fun is needed ?
5. To Salem, then, No more again,
Her funlight fhall be miffing; For the Lamb fhall be her light, Her eternal blefhng.
6. Oh ! were I there ! • Where all the air
With lovely founds is ringing.
Where the faints are evermore
Holy, Holy, finging!
7. Jesu, rny Reft ! Thou ever bleft !
Oh ! help my poor endeavour ! Let me, in Thy glorious light, Shine before Thee ever !

And dreams of nightly terror: Hence, O far hence, deceivers Beguiling into error.

2. Gladly hail the light returning;
Ready burning Be the incenfe of thy powers : For the night is fafeiy ended;
God hath tended With His care thy helplefs hours.
3. Pray that He may profper ever
Each endeavour, When thine aim is good and true ; But that He may ever thwart thee,
And convert thee, When thou evil wouldft pursue.
4. Think that He thy ways beholdeth,
He untoldeth Every fault that lurks within; He the hidden fhame gloffed over
Can difcover, And difcern each deed of fin.
5. Mayeft thou on life's laft morrow,
Free from lorrow, Pafs away in {lumber fweet ; And, releafed from death's dark fadnefs,
Rife in gladnefs That far brighter Sun to greet.
6. Only God's free gifts abufe not,
Light refufe not, But His Spirit's voice obey : Thou with Him fhalt dwell, beholding
Light unfolding All things in unclouded day.

From all danger, grief, and smart; And from him who, night and day,
Seeks to make my foul his prey.
3. Help me, that I may this morning
In the Spirit also rise ; And my foul with grace adorning,
Lord, prepare it in fuch wife, That I may, without dismay,
Look for Thy great Judgment day.

Keep me, Lord, this cav, from ill ; Nowhere elfe, except with Thee,
Can I safely guarded be.

And through all future days ; I'll praife Thee on Thy throne,
Great Source of cv'ry bleffing, My fong to Thee addreffing

2. Thy mercy claims my praifes !
This kept me through the night; And now from flcep it raifes,
To greet the dawning light. This too it is that hath
My many fins forgiven. Which, in the face of heaven,
So oft provok'd Thy wrath.
3. In mercy ftill direct me
Throughout the coming day: From Satan's wiles protect me,
From fin, and from dismay : Defend from tire and ftorm,
From want and ev'ry weaknefs, From forrow and from ficknefs,
From fudden death's alarm.
4. Let angels keep their ltations,
Nor ceafe their guard of me, Averting all temptations
Which draw their foul from Thee ! Thy fhield hold Thou above !
Then nothing fhall diftrefs me, To duty I'll addrefs me,
Rejoicing in Thy love.

*HEN that fleep has reached its ending, Sleep of death's myfterious night, And that morning beam descending, Burfts upon my wondering fight ; Then, when changed I wake, my foul Will at length have reached its goal ; Then, like dreams at morn that vanifh, Pilgrim cares that ray fhall banifh.
2. Let no day of my mifufing,
Lord, of endlefs life the Well, On that Judgment day accufing,
Of a wafted talent tell. Might to-day that trumpet found ! God be praiicd, as years go round, Every day that ray dawns clearer, Joys and griefs all bring it nearer.
3. When I enter death's dark valley,
Let me then good courage keep ; So my faith the hearts fhall rally
Of the friends who round ire weep ; Cheer me 'midft mv dying pain, Let my firmnefs theirs fuftain, Pointing through death's gloomy portal, Lord of death, to life immortal !

i. cQ| LUMBERERS, wake, the Bridegroom '*»' cometh ! Awake, behold the Bridegroom cometh !
Ye Virgins, wake, to fleep no more. Midnight hears the {homing voices, And at the thrilling cry rejoices ;
Your lamps now trim, fo bright of yore. Th'advancing train draws nigh ; Lights flalh, and bridemen cry :
Alleluia : Sing ye alfo, Alleluia; And forth to meet the Bridegroom go !
2. Zion hears the exultant finging,
And all her heart with joy is fpringing, She wakes, fhe rifes from her gloom ; For her Spoufe comes down all-glorious, The Strong in Grace, in Truth Victorious, Her Star is rifen, her Light is come ! Hafte then, ye Virgins fair, His marriage-feaft to fhare,
Alleluia : Ye too fhall fing Alleluia, As ye go forth to meet your King.
3. Lamb of God ! The heavens adore Thee, And men and angels fing before Thee,
With harp and cymbals' clcarclt tone. Of one pearl each open portal, Where we are with the choirs immortal,
That ftand around the great white Throne. Ten thoufand thoufand tongues There pour triumphal fongs
Alleluia : Chanting their hymn, Alleluia, With Cherubim and Seraphim.
4. Lo! the Bride, fair as the morning, The royal crown her brow adorning, —
With fine wrought gold her bright robes fhine. On her breaft are jewels gleaming ; In fevenfold light her beauty beaming Bids welcome, to her Spoufe divine. Round Him, in raiment white, Sing all the faints in light,
Alleluia : On that bleft fhore Alleluia Rolls evermore and evermore. Amen.

3. I lay in fetters groaning,
Thou com'ft to fet me free ! I ftood, my fhame bemoaning,
Thou com'il to honour mc ! A glory dofl Thou give me,
A treafure fafc on high, That will not fail nor leave me,
As earthly riches fly.
4. Love caufed Thy incarnation,
Love brought Thee down to me ; Thy thirit for my falvation
Procured my liberty. Oh, love beyond all telling !
That led Thee to embrace, Oh, love all love excelling !
Our loft and fallen race !
5. Rejoice, then, ye fad-hearted,
Who fit in deepeft gloom, Who mourn o'er joys departed,
And tremble at your doom : He only who can cheer you,
Is ftanding at the door ; He brings His pity near you,
And bids you weep no more.
6. Ye who with deep contrition
Bemoan your finful ftate, Fear not, Christ gives remiffion
Of fins, however great : He comes, who contrite finners
Will with the children place, The children of His Father,
The heirs of life and grace.
7. He comes, the Lord, to judgment :
Woe, woe to them who hate ! To thofe who love and feek Him
He ope's the heavenly gate. Come quickly, gracious Saviour,
And gather us to Thee, That in the light eternal
Our joyous home may be.

How long art thou, Eternity ?

How long art thou, Eternity ?
No Spring haft thou, no Autumn gold,
No Summer's heat, nor Winter's cold ;
No infant cry begins thy day,
Nor age nor anguifh brings decay :
Ponder, O Man, Eternity !

How long art thou, Eternity ?
O Lord my God! here pour on me
Toil, grief, and pain, as plcafeth Thee; —
Here, fire and tcmpcft make me bear;
But let Thy mercy find me th

XXXIX.
Dies irte, dies ilia.
^IES irae, dies ilia,
Solvet fjeclum in favilla, Telle David cum Sibylla.
2. Quantus tremor eft futurus, Quando Judex eft venturus, Cunfta ftricle difcufTurus !
3. Tuba mirum fpargens fonum Per fepulchra regionum, Coget omnes ante thronum.
4. Mors ftupebit, et natura, Cum refurget creatura, Judicanti refponfura.
5. Liber fcriptus proferetur, In quo totum continetur, Undo mundus judicetur.
6. Judex ergo cum fedebit, Quidquid latet, apparebit : Nil inultum remanebit.
7. Quid fum mifer tunc diclurus ? Quern patronum rogaturus? Cum vix juftus fit fecurus.
8. Rex tremendae majeftatis, Qui falvandos falvas gratis, Salva me, fons pietatis !
9. Recordare, Jefu pie, Quod fum caufa tuse via; ; Ne me perdas ilia die !
10. Ouaerens me, fedifti laflus : Redemifti, crucem paffus ; Tantus labor non fit caflus.
11. Jufte Judex ultionis, Donum fac remiffionis Ante diem rationis.
12. Ingemifco tanquam reus: Culpa rubet vukus meus : Supplicanti parce, Deus.
13. Qui Mariam abfolvifti, Et latronem exaudifti,
Mi hi quoque fpem dedifti.
14. Preces meae non funt dignae: Sed tu bonus fac benigne, Ne perenni cremer igne.
15. Inter oves locum praefta, Et ab hcedis me fequeftra, Statuens in parte dextra.
16. Confutatis malediftis, Flammis acribus addiclis, Voca me cum bcnediilis.
17. Ora fupplex et acclinis, Cor contritum quaii cinis, Gere curam mci finis !
;i8. Lachrymofa die? ilia, Qua refurget ex favilla Judicandus homo reus. Huic ergo parce, Deus: Tie Jefu Domine, Dona cis requiem. Amen.
Thomas df. Celano, Xllth Century. * The Stanzas marked * can be
AY of wrath ! that Day of burning Seer and Sybil fpeak concerning,
Heaven and earth to afhes turning ! 2.*0 what fear man's bofom rendeth,
When from heaven the Judge defcendeth,
On Whofe fentence all dependeth ! 3. Hark! the trumpet's peal aftounding !
Through the realms of death refounding !
The refiftlefs fummons founding ! 4.*Death confounded — nature quaking —
View appalled the Creature waking,
For the judgment ready making.
5. Lo ! the Book, exactly worded ! Wherein all hath been recorded ; — Thence fhall judgment be awarded.
6. When the Judge His feat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing undifclofed remaineth.
7>*What fhall I, frail man, be pleading? Who for me be interceding? — When the juft are mercy needing.
8. King of majefty tremendous, Who doft free falvation fend us, Fount of pity ! then befriend us !
9. Think, kind Jesu, my falvation Caufed Thy wondrous incarnation ; Leave me not to reprobation ! Me through toil and pain Thou foughteft,- By Thy Crofs and Paffion boughteft ; Perifh not the work Thou wroughteit. Righteous Juda;c of retribution, Grant Thy gift of abfolution,
Ere that Day of diffolution.
l2.*Guilty, now I pour my moaning, All my fhame with anguifh owning ; Spare, O God, Thy fuppliant, groaning !
l3.*Thou, who Mary gav'ft remiffion, Who didft heai the thief's petition, Haft with hope cheered my contrition.
l4.*Worthlefs are my prayers and fighing, Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, Refcue me f.om fires undying !
i5#*With Thy fheep a place provide me, From the goats afar divide me, To Thy right hand do Thou guide me.
16. While the curfed are confounded, Doomed to flames of woe unbounded, Call me ! with the blefT'd furrounded.
17. Hear me praying, lowly bending, Confcious guile my bofom rending, Care for me when all is ending!
18. Ah ! that day of tears and mourning ! From the dull of earth returning Man for judgment mull prepare him ! Sparc ! O God, in mercy fpare him ! Lord of mercy, Jesu bleft,
Grant us Thine eternal reft. Amen.

3. Wondrous found the trumpet flingeth, Through earth's fepulchres it ringeth, All before the throne it brinsreth !
4. [Death is ftruck, and nature quaking- All creation is awaking, To its Judge an anlwer making !]
.5. Lo ! the book exaclly worded,
Wherein all hath been recorded ! — Thence mall judgment be awarded.
6. When the Judge His feat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unaveng'd remaineth.

7. [What fliall I, frail man, be pleading ? Who for me be interceding, When the juft are mercy needing ?]
14. [Worthlefs are my prayers and fighing, Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, Refcue me from fires undying !]
8. King of Majcfty tremendous, Who dolt free falvation fend us, Fount of Pity ! then befriend us.
9. Think, kind Jesu, — my falvation Caus'd Thy wondrous Incarnation — Leave me not to reprobation !
10. Faint and weary, Thou haft fought me, On the Crofs of fuffering bought me ; — Shall fuch grace be vainly brought me?
11. Righteous Judge of retribution, Grant Thy gift of abfolution,
Ere that reckoning-day's conclufion !

15. [With Thy favoured fheep O place me ! Nor among the goats abafe me,
But to Thy right hand upraifc me.]
16. While the wicked are confounded, Doomed to flames of woe unbounded, Call me ! with Thy faints furrounded.
17. Low I kneel, with heart fubmiflion — See, like afhes, my contrition — Help me in my laft condition !
18. Ah ! that Day of tears and mourning ! From the dull of earth returning
Man for Judgment mull prepare him ; Spare ! O God, in mercy fpare him !
Lord, all-pitying Jesu bleft,
Grant us Thine eternal reft. Amen.
