The

45

Hymn-Book printed in the year 1801, for the use

of the PROTESTANT CHURCH of the UNITED BRETHREN
#9 being out of print, a new edition is now published.

As this hymo-book is also intended for the use of our
missions in the English dominions abroad, where holy bap-
tism is frequently administered to adults; and as the same

is at times administered here, we have added a few hymns,

1 that

may

be suitably used on such occasions.

The hymns translated from the German are distinguish-

ed by an asterisk [*]; those not marked in this manner,

14 are English compositions.

In order to find any single verse, the INDEX does not

contain the first line of each Hymn only, but of each

VERSE in this collection. The lines which begin a hymn

are also marked in the index with an asterisk [*].

The numbers of the tunes, placed over the hymns, have

a reference to the second index, which points out the

tunes for the hymns that occur in this book.
