ANONYMOUS HYMNS.

IN the &quot; New Congregational Hymn Book,&quot; thirty-seven hymns were given without the authors names. Most of these names we are able to supply, and where they could not be found, we have in most cases given the name of the collection in which the hymn is believed to have first appeared. The full particulars are given under the names to which the reader is referred.
