Part 20

[194]He made a most unpoetic recast of Wesley’s ‘All ye that pass by’; but in the Index he is too honest to give Wesley’s name, and (I presume) had too much self-respect to give his own. Many alterations in hymns make one sympathize with Miss Ailie’s notice, ‘Persons who come to steal the fruit are requested not to walk on the flower-beds’ (Barrie’s _Sentimental Tommy_).

[195]A verse of this hymn is omitted in the _Methodist Hymn-book_. The hymn is, I think, improved by the omission.

Silent Spirit, dwell with me, I myself would quiet be; Quiet as the growing blade Which through earth its way has made; Silently, like morning light, Putting mists and chills to flight.

[196]This hymn is usually rearranged in our hymn-books. Our first verse is sixth in the original.

[197]The only collection in which, so far as I know, this hymn has been included, is the _Young People’s Hymnal_. It is an excellent school-hymn.

[198]_Our Own Hymn-book_, 41. The hymn has six verses. The _Baptist Hymnal_ gives a hymn of Spurgeon’s for an early morning prayer-meeting (633).

[199]This verse is given in Horder’s _Worship-Song_ ad in the _Primitive Methodist Hymn-book_.
