 THEIR AUTHORS AND OHIGIN. 283

only there may be identification and fellowship with Him. In his other hymns we find less of this influence than we should have expected.

&quot; When on Sinai s top I see.&quot; No. 383.

This hymn (1825) on the three mountains may serve to illustrate Montgomery s concise comprehensiveness.

&quot;Holy, holy, holy, Lord.&quot; No. 454. This is from his work of 1853.

&quot; 0, where shall rest be found ? &quot; No. 704.

This is one of the author s fine pieces. He evidently had on his &quot; singing-robes &quot; when he wrote it. (1825.)

&quot;According to Thy gracious word,&quot; No. 865,

a hymn for the Lord s Supper, is justly a favourite, and reminds of Bernard s most pious breathings.

Montgomery took a deep interest in the missionary cause. He has written some good missionary hymns : No. 922 has already been referred to. He also wrote No. 914, and

&quot; Hark ! the song of Jubilee,&quot; No. 924,

a peculiarly noble and sublime pzean of missionary triumph. (1819.)

The pen of the poet was also sometimes put in requisition to provide Sunday-school hymns, and for this welcome task Mont gomery s clearness and simplicity of style well qualified him.

&quot; Glory to the Father give,&quot; No. 973, may be taken as an example.

MKS. YOKE.

&quot; Ye messengers of Christ.&quot; No. 899.

MRS. YOKE S hymns appeared in &quot; Dobell s Collection,&quot; 1806, where this hymn is No. 436, and has an additional verse.
