 '''xxxvi. Vor seinen Augen schweben.' Living to Christ''. In the Teutsche Gedichte, 1735, p. 233, entitled "Enoch's Life," and dated 1731. 1st pub. in the 3rd ed., 1731, of the Sammlung, as No. 485, in 5 st. of 8 l, as a hymn on Holy Living. In the Herrnhut G. B., 1735, No. 216, it begins "Vots Bräutgams Angen," and in the Brüder G. B., 1778, No. 1557, it begins Vor Jesu Augen." In the Hist. Nachricht to the 1778 (1835, p. 190), it is dated 1730, and marked as written for Theodora Countess Reuss (she was his cousin, née von Castell, and first love, but married Count Heinrich . of Reuss-Ebersdorf, whose sister [see Nos. xii., xiv. above] became Zinzendorf's wife in 1722). In Knapp, 1845, p. 100. The text of 1778 is in the Berlin G. L. S., ed. 1863, No. 1188. In Knapp's Ev. L. S., 1865, No. 1635, dated Sept., 1731. Tr. as, "Beneath the eye of Jesus." In the British Herald, May, 1866, p. 267, and in Reid's Praise Bk., 1872.

'''xxxvii. Was sag' ich dir, die mit viel tausend Schmerzen'''. Penitence. Written In 1737 (Knapp, 1845, p. 122). 1st pub. in Appx, vii., circa 1738, to the Herrnhut G. B., as No. 1251, in 10 st. of 6 l. In the Brüder G. B., 1778, st. ii., x., beginning "Du treues Haupt! ich sag' es mit Empfinden," were included as No. 752. This form is tr. as "Oh, faithful God! with deep and sad emotion." By Mrs. Findlater, in H. L. L., 1862, p. 45 (1884, p. 211).

Zion stands by hills surrounded. T. Kelly. [The Security of the Church.] 1st pub. in the 2nd ed. of his Hymns, &c., 1806, in 5 st. of 6 l. (ed. 1853, No. 136). It is in C. U. in its full form, and also in centos, as:—

Taking the original text and these centos together, it is found that the use of this hymn is somewhat extensive. It is based on Pa. cxxv., 2, and is a vigorous hymn on the Security of the Church of Christ.

Ζοφεράς τρικυμίας. St. Anatolius [Christ Stilling the Tempest.] The Very Rev. S. G. Hatherly, in his ed. of Dr. Neale's ''Hys. of the Eastern Church'', 1882 (4th ed.) says—

It is more probable, however, that Dr. Neale got his text from the "dateless Constantinopolitan book" from whence he said he got his "Art thou weary" (see ) than that he secured it from the work of some German antiquarian." Dr. Neale's tr., "Fierce was the wild billow," was pub. in his Hys. of the Eastern Church, 1862, in 3 st. of 8 l., and headed "Stichera for a Sunday of the First Tone." It was included in the Parish H. Bk., 1863; and subsequently in numerous collections in G. Britain and America. In some hymnals it reads, "Fierce the wild billow was," and in others "Fierce was the Galilee;" but Neale's text is that which is most extensively known.

Zwick, Johann, s. of Conrad Zwick, Rathsherr at Constanz, was b. at Constanz, circa 1496. He studied law at the Universities of Basel, Freiburg, Paris, and Padua (where he graduated ), and was for some time a tutor in law at Freiburg and at Basel. In 1518 he entered the priesthood, and in 1522 was appointed parish priest of Riedlingen on the Upper Danube. Being accused of Lutheran tendencies, he was forbidden in 1523 to officiate, and in 1525 his living was formally taken from him. He returned to Constanz, and was appointed by the Council in 1527 as one of the town preachers. Here he laboured unweariedly, caring specially for the children, the poor, and the refugees, till 1542. In Aug. 1542, the people of Bischofszell, in Thurgau, having lost their pastor by the pestilence, besought Constanz to send them a preacher; and Zwick, proceeding there, preached and visited the sick till he himself fell a victim to the pestilence, and d. there Oct. 23, 1542 (Koch, ii., 76; Herzog's Real-Encyklopädie, xvii. 578, &c.).

The only hymn by Zwick which has passed into English is:—

Zyma vetus expurgetur. Adam of St. Victor. [Easter.] Gautier, in his ed of Adam's Oeuvres poetiques, 1881, p. 42, gives this from a Gradual of St. Victor before 1239 (Bibl. Nat. Paris, No. 14452), a Paris Gradual of the 13th cent. (B. N. No. 15616), and a Missal of St. Genevieve, c. 1239. It is also found in an early 14th cent. Paris Missal in the British Museum (Add. 16905, f. 146 b); in a Sarum Missal, c. 1370, and a York Missal, c. 1390, both in the Bodleian; in a St. Gall. No. 383, of the 13th or 14th cent., &c. The printed text is given with full notes in Trench, ed. 1864, p. 165; also in Daniel ii., p. 69; Kehrein, No. 91; D. S. Wrangham's The Liturgical Poetry of Adam of St. Victor, 1881, i. p. 80, and others. Of this grand sequence Clichtovaeus says with accuracy:—

In this eulogy Abp. Trench agrees. The ex-
