Afflictions, though they seem severe24, 49
Alas, and did my Savior bleed223, 229, 250
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound135
And am I born to die137
And let this feeble body fail225
An’ Phareeoh’s daughter went down to the water27
Are there anybody here like Mary a-weeping164
As on the cross the Savior hung23, 35
B
Beautiful home, sweet home, beautiful222
Be gone, unbelief, my Savior is near117
Behold the lep’rous Jew44
Brethren, we have met to worship114
Bright scenes of glory strike my sense67, 94
C
Children of the heavenly King243
Christ is set on Zion’s hill41
Come, all my dear brethren and help me sing173
Come, all ye mourning pilgrims dear98
Come all ye young people of every relation12
Come along, come along and let us go home210
Come and taste along with me185
Come, brothers and sisters who love one another39
Come, friends and relations46, 48
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly dove131
Come, humble sinner in whose breast95
Come life, come death, come then what will150
Come, saints and sinners, hear me tell37
Come, thou fount of every blessing101, 160
Come to Jesus, come to Jesus159
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy239
Come, ye that love the Lord78
D
Dark was the hour, Gethsemane77
Death, ain’t you got no shame158
Death shall not destroy my comfort90
Death, ’tis a melancholy day69
Did Christ o’er sinners weep146
Did Christ the great example lead91
Dismiss us with thy blessing, Lord52
Do I not love thee, O my Lord147
Drooping souls, no longer grieve62, 116
F
Farewell, dear brethren in the Lord247
Farewell, vain world, I’m going home152, 153, 181, 183, 215
Father, I sing thy wondrous grace76
Forever here my rest shall be200
Friends of freedom, swell the song112
From whence doth this union arise53
G
Glory to God on high141
Good morning, brother pilgrim36
Go, preachers, and tell it to the world156
H
Hail the day so long expected192
Hail! ye sighing sons of sorrow22
Hark, from the tombs a doleful sound128
Hark, I hear the harps eternal63
Hark, listen to the trumpeters70, 182
Hark, my soul, it is the Lord64
Hear the royal proclamation84
He comes, he comes, the Judge severe184
Here at thy table, Lord, we meet68
High in yonder realms of light61
High o’er the hills the mountains rise96
How bright is the day when the Christian129
How can I vent my grief71
How condescending and how kind30
How long, O Lord our Savior132
How lost was my condition31, 127
How pleasant thus to dwell below227
How tedious and tasteless the hours60, 149
I
I am a poor wayfaring stranger40
I came to the place where the lone pilgrim lay18
I’d rather live a beggar while here on earth I stay2
If I in thy likeness, O Lord148
If our fathers want to go220
If you get there before I do244
I have a loving old father at home38
I know that my Redeemer lives166
I’ll praise him while he gives me breath232
I love thee, I love thee134
I love the holy Son of God140
I’m dying, mother, dying now15
I’m not ashamed to own my Lord87
I’m thinking today of the church of my youth45
I’m trav’ling to my grave234
I pitch my tent on this camp ground226
I sing a song which doth belong29
I’ve a long time heard that there will be a judgment165
I’ve listed in the holy war212
I went down to the valley to pray207
J
Jerusalem, my happy home143, 221
Jesus, and shall it ever be97
Jesus, I love thy charming name126
Jesus, my all, to heav’n is gone189, 198, 209, 216, 224, 231, 237, 238, 240, 248
Jesus, thou art the sinner’s friend123
Judgment day is rolling on175
L
Lay up nearer, brother, nearer10
Lift up your heads, Immanuel’s friends72, 169
Lord, I believe a rest remains108
Lord, shed a beam of heavenly day65
M
Man at his first creation in Eden God did place5
Mercy, O thou son of David21
Mourning souls, no longer grieve66
My bible leads to glory233
My brethren all, on you I call83
My father’s gone to glory219
My father’s gone to view that land178
My God, my Portion and my Love79
My heavenly home is bright and fair74
My home is over Jordan154
My rest is in heaven73
My soul forsakes her vain delight107
My soul’s full of glory inspiring my tongue110, 172
N
“No home, no home,” plead a little girl19
No more shall the sound of the war-whoop be heard115
No sleep nor slumber to his eyes122
Not many years their rounds shall roll82
Now see the Savior stands pleading100
O
O brethren, will you meet me180
O brother, be faithful203
O, brother, in that day188
O, for a thousand tongues to sing124
O happy souls, how fast you go50
Oh, brethren, I have found a land113
Oh, for a heart to praise my God106
Oh, good old way, how sweet thou art170
Oh, how I love my Savior167
Oh, once I had a glorious view75
O I am so happy in Jesus155
O land of rest, for thee I sigh133
O Lord, send us a blessing206
O may I worthy prove to see177
One day while in a lonesome grove34
On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand86, 201, 235, 246
O sleep not my babe for the morn of tomorrow42
O tell me no more of this world’s vain store104, 130
O Thou almighty Father179
O thou by long experience tried195
O thou God of my salvation89
O thou in whose presence my soul takes delight163
O thou who hearest when sinners cry105
O ’tis a glorious mystery171
Our cheerful voices let us raise54
O when shall I see Jesus59, 151, 187, 197, 204, 241
O who will come and go with me190
O who will join and help me sing186
O ye young and gay and proud111
P
Peace, troubled soul, thou need not fear242
Poor drunkards, poor drunkards, take warning by me11
Poor mourning soul in deep distress28
R
Remember, sinful youth, you must die145
Review the palsied sinner’s case20
S
Saw ye my Savior, saw ye my Savior16
Say, brothers, will you meet us202
Say now, ye lovely social band93
Since man by sin has lost his God228
Sinner, go, will you go80
Sinners, turn, why will ye die157
Sister, thou was mild and lovely103
Stay, thou insulted spirit, stay125
Sweet is the day of sacred rest120
T
Tempest-tossed, troubled spirit144
The chariot of mercy is speeding its way102
The Christian race is now begun249
The day is past and gone55
The happy day will soon appear168
The news of his mercy is spreading abroad174
The people called Christians136
There are angels hovering round211
There is a heaven o’er yonder skies236
There is a land of pleasure92
There is a land of pure delight81
There was a little fam’ly that liv’d in Bethany8
There was a Romish lady1
The time is swiftly rolling on4, 25
The trumpets are a-sounding245
This world is beautiful and bright119
Tho’ sinners would vex me3
Thou man of grief, remember me57
Through all the world below142
Thy ceaseless, unexhausted love199
’Tis the old-time religion218
To see a pilgrim as he dies118
’Twas on that dark and doleful night109
W
We have fathers in the promised land193
We have our trials here below161
We have our troubles here below162
What ship is this that will take us all home191
What’s this that steals, that steals upon my frame58
What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul88
When Adam was created he dwelt in Eden’s shade13, 43
When all thy mercies, O my God121
When for eternal worlds we steer
