THE later hymns, chiefly individual or experimental, follow 340, and are ranged alphabetically. The first is the familiar, strain of J. Fawcett, which used to be hymn 267; the next by J. Berridge, then P. Doddridge's which we had as hymn 306. The present 344 is one not familiar to most, but excellent, and the one after is the translation of an ancient composition. The next three are hymns known to us hitherto as 118, 129, and 32. But 349 is less familiar. Then follow well-known pieces of Sir E. D. already before us as 141, 251, 237.
After them (353) is a hymn of J. Kent, and one of Robinson known as hymn 93, followed by Watts' which was 329, and by one of Thos. Kelly's. Then H. Stowell's “From every stormy wind” (hitherto 246) is given, and another less known as 358; next is Cowper's “God moves,” our present 278, and “God's sovereign grace to us has given” follows. Th. Kelly's “Gracious Lord” (the present 97) is 361, and Job Hupton's “Had I ten thousand tongues,” a favorite with some, though its good taste is open to question; then Doddridge's “Hark the glad sound,” and one less known as 364; Wesley's “He bids us come” as 365; Watts' “How can we sink” as 366; and Keith's (or rather of one otherwise unknown named Keen) “How firm” as 367, with J. Newton's valued hymn following (“How sweet the name”). As by general confession stanza 4 mars the strain, it is here as often omitted. As it stands, stanza 3 forms a transition to the personal address in what follows. The next is from the Appendix abridged for obvious reasons; and one by Miss Waring follows as 370; then de Courcy's “In weakness,” 371, with Yerbury's “King of glory,” S. Harrison's “Look, look, ye saints,” and Th. Kelly's “Look, ye saints,” respectively 372, 373, and 374.
The next two are not new, any more than 377, though not known to many, 378 being even less familiar to most; but 379 is the old 271 of Watts? and 380 the old 166 of Toplady's, freed from some danger of misconception. 381 is a fine strain of Sir E. D.'s; of 382 the author's name is to me unknown; but the next five are well-known, 388 less so. Hymn 389 is J. Irons', 390 a more recent one, 391 is Doddridge's and used to stand as 275, as 392 is a new one, 393 Yerbury's, and 394 Berridge's. The old hymn 30 is now 395, and 82 is 396. Again hymn 253 (Ryland's) is 397, and 257 (C. Wesley's) is 398. Then 399 is S. Medley's, and 400 J. N. D.'s.
Hymn 298 is 401, and 402 is by S. Medley, 403 the much enjoyed writing of J. Hutton, and 404 will be new to many, simple as it is. Another of Medley's (the old hymn 99) comes next, and after it the old 301 (Lyte's); but 407 is new. Then the old 319 is 408, and 409 is T. Kelly's; next Kent's, the old 264; next a hymn of M. Bowly's; and then the old 232 (Toplady's). A new one follows as 413, and 414 is an old Latin one translated, and 415 a modern by Hollis, and 416 Seagrave's in the 17th century. The old hymn 128 (Sandeman's) is now 417, and 305 as 418, 331 is 419, and 322 (Cow-per's) is 420. J. N. D.'s song for the wilderness (139) is 421; and Hammond's “Thou, Savior, art one,” &c. is 422. Then hymn 205 (Newton's) follows as 423, and a hymn of Baptist source, wrongly attributed to J. N. D. is next, with another of Newton's after it (the old 160). One of Josiah Condor's is 426, with Kent's as 427, A. T. Russell's as 428, and J. Montgomery's as 429. The old 262 (T. Kelly's) is 430, and 180 (Taylor's) 431. Rowland Hill's “We sing his love” is 432, and “We sing of the realms,” &c. 433; then 232 as 434; 216 (Gandy's) as 435; and a new one in conclusion as 436.
