Dated 1836, but Beard, in his _Collection_, (British) 1837, gives it as an original contribution, thus fixing the date of first publication. Putnam, _Singers and Songs_, etc., notes that it was “Written, probably, for some church in England,” information which sounds like the aged poet’s vague recollection many years after he had responded to Beard’s request. Included in Lunt’s _Christian Psalter_, 1841. 3. _All things that are on earth_, (Love of God) Included in Beard’s _Collection_, 1837. 4. _Almighty! hear thy children raise_, (Praise) One of five hymns written by Bryant at the request of Miss Sedgwick for inclusion (without the author’s name) in Sewall’s _Collection_, 1820, compiled for use in the First Congregational Society of New York (Unitarian), now All Souls Church. In Beard’s _Collection_, 1837, the first line is altered to read _Almighty, listen while we praise_, and in the Unitarian _Hymn and Tune Book_, Boston, 1868, it is altered to _Almighty, hear us while we praise_, 5. _As shadows cast by cloud and sun_, Written for the Semi-Centennial of the Church of the Messiah, Boston, March 19, 1875. Included in the Methodist Episcopal _Hymnal_, New York, 1878. 6. _Close softly, fondly, while ye weep_ (Death) Included in H. W. Beecher’s _Plymouth Collection_, 1855. 7. _Dear ties of mutual succor bind_ (Charity) Putnam, _Singers and Songs_, 1874, p. 130, says, “Mr. Bryant has kindly sent us, as an additional contribution to this volume, the following exquisite lines, which were written about forty years since, for some charitable occasion, and which he lately found among some old papers. They are not among his published poems.” Included in the Methodist Episcopal _Hymnal_, 1878. 8. _Deem not that they are blest alone_ (Mourning) Written for Sewall’s _Collection_, 1820, _vide supra._ Included in Beard’s _Collection_, 1837, and, the first line altered to read, _O deem not they are blest alone_, in Martineau’s _Hymns of Prayer and Praise_, 1873, and in _Songs for the Sanctuary_, New York, 1865-1872. 9. _Father, to thy kind love we owe_, (God’s Loving Kindness) One of the five hymns, written by Bryant for inclusion in Sewall’s _Collection_, New York, 1820. Included in the _Hymn and Tune Book_, Boston, 1868, and in Martineau’s _Hymns_, 1873. In Putnam’s _Singers and Songs_, etc. the first line reads, _Our Father, to thy love we owe_. 10. _How shall I know thee in the sphere which keeps?_ (Future life) A memorial poem in 9 stanzas rather than a hymn, but included in part in the supplement of devotional readings in Hedge and Huntington’s _Hymns for the Church of Christ_, 1853. Complete text in Putnam’s _Singers and Songs_, etc., pp. 125-126.
