REI^TOUL, m. 25 KORTH SIXTH STREET. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1863, by WM. W. KEYS, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States in and for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Stereotyped by William W. Harding. Peixtod bt William S. Yonxo. PEEFACE. In presenting this work to the Church, the compiler believes that it is the most effectual means by which Congregational singing can be improved and kept at any thing like the proper standard. The practice of the Psalms to music adapted to them, facilitates a proper regard to expression, and the music being always before the eye, the time and tone is better preserved. The music used has been carefully selected from lists received from pre- centors of churches in all parts of the Union where the Psalms of David are used in public worship. The harmony has been carefully revised by Prof. Leopold Meignen, of Philadelphia, and, we believe, will be found in all cases free from imperfec- tion. Several new Tunes of Dr. Meignen's composition appear in this book, having been composed for it, viz : Standbridge, S. M., Melville and Keys, C. M., and Stevenson, C. M., Double ; the first and last named composed expressly for the Psalms to which they are attached. The division of the Psalms into portions of similar sentiment has been done by Rev. Prof James M. Willson, which, it is believed, will be a sufficient guarantee that this portion of the work has been well done. The appropri- ateness of the adaptation of the music to the text is, of course, submitted to the judgment of the public. It has been a subject of study for more than three years, and we trust will meet the approbation of all. We feel certain that none of the music can be justly termed inappropriate. The superiority of this book over any other Psalm-Book heretofore pub- lished consists in the music being printed along with each Psalm, or portion of Psalm, throughout the entire book. The advantage of this is two-fold : 1st. The precentor is not compelled to hurriedly select a tune at the same time that he is searching for the Psalm which has been announced. He knows that having found the Psalm, suita- ble music to be sung to it is there also, and all he has to think of is to have the tune properly pitched. 2d. There is no doubt or hesitation on the part of the congregation in commencing to sing, as all know precisely what tune is to be sung, and are prepared to commence as soon as the first note is given. To those who have aided me, by permitting the use of their compositions, in furnishing lists of music, or otherwise assisting me in the production of this book, I present my thanks. I trust my efforts have been well directed and that the book may tend to the honour and glory of God, and to the delight of his people, by causing all who use it to " sing with the spirit and the understanding," and " with a loud noise skilfully." If so, then my design will be accomplished. Philadelphia, October 1, 1863. WM. W. KEYS. — a PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. In less than one month the first edition has been exhausted,— gratifying evidence of the need of such a book, and of its accepta- bility. The second edition is now presented to the Church. The few errors which appeared in the first edition have been corrected ; and, in ad- dition, the number of the Psalm has been placed at the top of each page. With these exceptions, the first and second editions are iden- tical. The many favourable notices which the Book has received from the Press and from individuals have been very gratifying to the author. He trusts he will be pardoned for inserting here a portion of a review of it which appeared in the Presbyterian Standard, from the pen of Rev. Dr. William Blackwood ; whose thorough knowledge of the subject, and eminent musical taste, render his opi- nion peculiarly valuable : " Every congregation in the country in which the ' Old Psalms' are used, will thank the author and publisher for this beautiful and admirably designed volume. * * * ^j^g airs are selected with taste and judgment. The harmony is delightful ; and the general circulation of this book in churches would unquestionably promote in a very powerful manner the extension of congregational singing of a very high order. Every Psalm, and, in many of the longer ones, the portions of them suitable for a service, are provided with a pro- per air ; and thus the book may be used in the pew, the lecture-room, or in the family, as well as by a precentor or leader." The success of the work seems no longer to be in doubt. The author is convinced that it will be an efiicient agent in promoting a general improvement in the Congregational Music of the churches that shall adopt and faithfully use it.
