Dated March 15, 1843, it is the last of the author’s writings in verse. In its original form it was a poem in several stanzas unsuited for use as a hymn, but 3 stanzas, beginning as above, had been taken from it, altered and transposed, and thus adapted for worship. Stanzas one and two were included in Hedge and Huntington’s _Hymns for the Church of Christ_ and in Longfellow and Johnson’s _Hymns of the Spirit_, 1864. 12. _To prayer, to prayer, for morning breaks_, (Prayer) In 1826 he wrote a poem of 10 stanzas, 6 lines each, entitled “Seasons of Prayer,” printed in full in _Lyra Sacra Americana_ and in Putnam, _Singers and Songs_, from which at least three variant centos were in use in the 19^th century. One beginning with the first line, as above, adapting it for morning worship, was included in Lunt’s _Christian Psalter_, 1841, and in later collections. Another beginning with the second stanza _To prayer, the glorious sun is gone_, was adapted for evening worship. A third selection, beginning with the third stanza of the poem, _To prayer! for the day that God hath blest_, was included in Hedge and Huntington’s _Hymns for the Church of Christ_. 13. _We rear not a temple, like Judah of old_, (Dedication of a Place of Worship) “For the dedication of a church, April, 1839.” 14. _With praise and prayer our gifts we bring_ (Opening of a Place of Worship) In Dale’s _English Hymn Book_, 1874. Not in Putnam’s _Singers and Songs_, etc. None of the hymns listed above are in current use except nos. 1 and 5, both of which are included in _The New Hymn and Tune Book_, 1914, and _Hymns of the Spirit_, 1937.
