PREFACE. In presenting "Kingdom of Song" to the public it is with an earnest desire that earth-weary pilgrims may be encouraged by the soul-inspiring songs contained herein to press "On to the Front" and engage "In the Conflict" against the hosts of sin, and to "Labor Sweetly" together for the upbuilding of Christ's kingdom, "Scattering Sunshine" along the way that wanderers in darkness may be brought to know the "Wonderful Love" of God, and to "Walk in the Light" as He is in the light. 66 Kingdom of Song" is lovingly dedicated to all Sabbath Schools and Young People's Societies, and may God's blessing attend it on its mission to "Bring in the Children' that they may be "Growing Up" in the light of the gospel, "Living for Christ," and becoming "Busy Gleaners in life's harvest field." I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to the many authors and publishers who have so kindly contributed their valuable compositions to this work, and may all who sing these beautiful songs be endowed with the Spirit from on high that they may be enabled to do more and better work for the Master, and "When We Gather Round the Great White Throne" in "The Eden Above," "We will Sing that Glad New Song," with the blessed "Assurance" that "We'll Never Say Good-Bye."

Come, gather, all tribes and all na-tions, To worship Je - ho - vah our King; O, sing of his pow-er and glory, Great Ruler whose throne is the sky, O, sing of the wondrous re-demp-tion, The purchase of life for us all; 2. 3. 0, en - ter his presence with gladness, Your tri-bute of grat - i- tude bring. Who giv-eth to men of his bounty In showers of grace from on high. O, give him your song and your ser- vice For blessings that moment-ly fall. CHORUS. Give praises to God for his mercy!
