The promise which the Saviour made, 89
Thou, Lord, hast power to heal, 19
Thy love hath sweetened me, 51
Thy mighty word commanding, 23
Tossed on the sea of life, 42
We hymn Thy triumph on the Cross, 61
When sorrow's clouds are circling near, 91
When the morn comes o'er the hills, 87
Why do we fade? 16
Within Thy courts my praise shall rise, 15

Hymns of the Holy Eastern Church.

History, Doctrine, and Worship of the Church.
PRESS NOTICES.
"Mr. Brownlie has earned for himself the title of hymnologist, and his
work and research are at this day of great sterling value to all engaged
in the study or collection of hymns."--_Bookman._
"We have noticed favourably other works from his pen, and a volume before
us entitled _Hymns of the Holy Eastern Church_ is no less deserving of
commendation. A long introduction describes sympathetically, and even
enthusiastically, the doctrine of the Eastern Church and its worship,
with which Mr. Brownlie is evidently closely acquainted."--_Church
Times._
"Mr. Brownlie is already favourably known as a translator of hymns from
the Greek Office-books.... The Introduction is well written, and should
be of service in dispelling prejudice and ignorance on the subject of the
Church of the East."--_Guardian._
"Mr. Brownlie has performed a confessedly difficult task.... The best
part of the book is unquestionably what the author modestly calls an
Introduction, in which he gives, in the briefest fashion, an entirely
admirable account of the history, sacraments, and worship of the Eastern
Church."--_Saint Andrew._
"The author has succeeded in retaining the simplicity of the originals
while presenting a polished version accommodated to the exigencies of
rhyme and rhythm.... His plea for a better understanding of East by West
is well informed, enthusiastic, and persuasive. The Introduction is the
best compendium we know in small compass of Greek rite and
doctrine."--_Glasgow Herald._
