Caswall’s trans. of “Lux ecce surgit aurea”, beginning “Now with the rising golden dawn”; see Julian’s Dict. pp. 820-821. 24. _O church of freedom and of faith._ (Installation) Written in 1891, presumably for the installation of Rev. John Carroll Perkins as minister of the First Parish in Portland in that year. Included in H. & V. Not found elsewhere. 25. _O Father, fix this wavering will._ No. 368 in Hys. Sp. 1864, “Anon.” but later acknowledged by S.L. as his though “of no importance.” (H. W. Foote, _The Anonymous Hymns of Samuel Longfellow_, Harv. Theol. Rev., Oct., 1917.) 26. _O God! a temple to thy name._ “Hymn for the dedication of the new chapel of the First Parish, Haverhill.” Dated 1848 in H. & V., but not found elsewhere. 5 stas. of 4 l. 27. _O God!
