Letter From Prof. Philip Phillips,

Musical Editor at the Methodist Book Concern, N. Y.

JOSEPH HILLMAN Esq. :

NEW YORK, Jan. 28, 1868.

My Dear Brother:

I have carefully examined the proof sheets of your forthcoming book—“ The Revivalist"—and I heartily give it my endorsement. As a book for "times of refreshing" it is, in my judgment, unsurpassed, and greatly needed in all our Churches. May the issuing of this book be the means of promoting revivals all over the land.

Letter From Rev. Jesse T. Leck, D. D.

In examining the proof sheets of "The Revivalist" I have found a large number of very valuable tunes and hymns, old and new, some of which I have never before seen published. Believing that the work will be useful, I cheerfully commend it to the Church everywhere.

ALBANY, Jan. 30, 1868.

Cleansing Fountain. C. M

1 There is a fountain fill'd with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins,

And sinners plung'd beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains D.C. And sinners plung'd beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains

Loose the Cable, let me go. 8s & 7s.

Arr. by A. S. ALLEN.

No more working in the vineyard, No more struggling in the

fight; Stand I here with loins all girded Ready for my upward flight;

Sweetly o'er my fainting spirit Peace from heaven seems to

flow; Seek no longer to de- tain me, Loose the cable, let

2 Holy angels round me hover,
Their light forms I almost see;
Golden harp and crown immortal
They are holding out to me;
Endless joys, eternal pleasures,
Soon on me they will bestow;
From their presence do not keep me,
Loose the cable, let me go.

3 But a little season only,

Ere the hearts that here are one, Shall forever be united

In the realm beyond the sun.

Love cannot be quenched by dying,
But will stronger, purer grow;
Wipe away the tears at parting,
Loose the cable, let me go.
4 When so near the Holy City,

Even at its pearly gate,
While its songs are wafted to me,
Would you have me longer wait?
O, the joy that fills this moment,

O, the happiness I know!
Seek no longer to detain me,
Loose the cable, let me go!

Hymn No. 2 continued.

5 Ye who have sold for naught
Your heritage above,
Shall have it back unbought,
The gift of Jesus' love.

The year of jubilee, &c.

6 The gospel trumpet hear,

The news of heavenly grace; And. saved from earth, appear Before your Saviour's face; The year of jubilee, &c.

The Paralytic. C. M. (Peculiar.)

1 Review the palsied sinner's case Who sought for help in Jesus;

His friends conveyed him to the place Where he might meet with Jesus. A multitude were But from the roof they let him down, Before the face of Jesus.

D. C.

thronging round To keep them back from Jesus: Oh! Saviour, hear their mournful cry,

Now let them hear thy voice declare, | All glory to the dying Lamb,

Thou sin-forgiving Jesus,
That thou didst die to hear their pray'r,
And give them help in Jesus.
The great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus;.

He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
Oh! hear the voice of Jesus.
