INDEX TO THE FIRST LINES, &c.

A DEBTOR to mercy alone
Affliction is a stormy deep
Again our weekly labours end
Again the cheerful beams of day
Again the Lord of life and light
A glory gilds the sacred page
All angels bless'd above
All glorious God! what hymns of praise
All hail! mysterious King
All hail, victorious Saviour, hail
All hail! redeeming Lord
All hail, the power of Jesus' name
All ye Gentiles, praise the Lord
Almighty goodness, power divine
Aloud we sing the wond'rous grace
And must this body die

And is this heaven, and am I there
And can we ask a better aid
And is the gospel peace and love
And will the eternal King
And will the great eternal God.
Angels, roll the rock away
Another fleeting day is gone
Are not thy mercies sovereign still
Arise, and hail the happy day
Arise, my soul arise

As showers on meadows newly mown
As the hart with eager looks
As shepherds in Jewry were guarding
As we advance in wisdom's ways
Array'd in clouds of golden light
At anchor laid, remote from home
At the portals of thy house
Awake, awake, the sacred song
Awake, and sing the song
Awake, my soul, in joyful lays
Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve
Awake, our souls, and bless his name
Awake, each soul, and with the sun
Awake, our drowsy souls
Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes
BEFORE the rosy dawn of day
Before Jehovah's awful throne
Begin, my soul, the exalted lay
Begin, my tongue, some heavenly
Begin the high, celestial strain
Behold that splendour, hear
Behold, the blind their sight receive
Behold, the amazing sight
