sometliing to be added, and I am answerable for the last six lines.&quot; Ten lines of the original were by Kirke White. The hynm as it appears in the &quot;New Congregational&quot; retains only four of these, and in an altered form. The other three verses are not Dr. Collyer s, but are verses added by Fanny Fuller Maitland, in her &quot; Hymns for Private Devotion, selected and original,&quot; 1827.

&quot; Lord, another day is flown.&quot; No. 984.

Four verses of the original are here given with little alteration, but verse three is substituted for Kirke White s second and third verses, and is different from them. The substituted verse is, however, better than the two omitted, and the whole hymn gains by the substitution. Sir Eoundell Palmer gives 1803 as the date of this hymn. The former, 627, bears date 1806.

THE Eev. J. Marriott dates this hymn 1813. It is in a MS. of his father s, between two pieces, dated 1813 and 1814. His father did not publish any of his numerous pieces, but two volumes of his sermons were published in 1818 and 1838. He was a son of the Rev. R.
