In Hedge and Huntington’s _Hymns for the Church of Christ_, 1853,
there is no Index of Authors, but in its Index of First Lines the name
of the author, (often only his or her surname) is given in most
instances. The Index also lists 57 hymns as “Anon.” or, more often,
with no word as to authorship. The source of several of these hymns
can be traced in Julian’s _Dictionary_ or in Putnam’s _Singers and
Songs of the Liberal Faith_, but I have been unable to identify the
author or source of the following hymns, or to check their later use,
if any.

_Hys. Ch. Ch._
509 Abba, Father, hear thy child,
758 Alas! how poor and little worth,
602 Behold, the servant of the Lord,
73 Blest is the hour when cares depart,
510 Come, let us who in Christ believe
288 Come, O thou universal good!
581 Come to the morning prayer,
707 Gently, Lord, O gently lead us,
868 God of the mountain, God of the storm,
437 God of the rolling year! to Thee
765 Go to thy rest, fair child!
305 Head of the church triumphant,
860 Hear, Father, hear our prayer
691 He sendeth sun, he sendeth shower
686 I cannot always trace the way
763 In the broad fields of heaven,
37 “Let there be light!” When born on high
255 Lord, in thy garden agony,
409 Lord, may the spirit of this feast,
861 Meek and lowly, pure and holy,
573 Meek hearts are by sweet manna fed,
798 Mortal, the angels say,
856 My feet are worn and weary with the march,
481 O’er mountaintops, the mount of God,
294 On earth was darkness spread,
742 O speed thee, Christian, on thy way,
506 O Thou, who hearest prayer,
803 O why should friendship grieve for them
56 O wondrous depth of grace divine,
307 Saviour and dearest friend,
312 Saviour, source of every blessing,
539 Sovereign of worlds! display thy power,
757 Swift years, but teach me how to bear,
611 Take my heart, O Father, take it,
75 There is a world, and O how blest,
276 Thou art the Way, and he who sighs,
768 Thou must go forth alone, my soul!
155 ’Tis not Thy chastening hand I fear,
247 Wake the song of jubilee.
528 When shall the voice of singing,
846 Why come not spirits from the realms of glory?
448 Why slumbereth, Lord, each promised sign?
