Included in Hys. Sp. under title “Jesus of Nazareth”; no date in H. & V. 5 stas. of 4 l. 42. _The summer days are come again._ H. & V. includes a song in three 8-line stanzas headed “Summer Rural Gathering”, dated 1859, each stanza beginning, “The sweet June days are come again.” In Hys. Sp. 1864, the second and third stanzas of this song are taken to form a hymn for summer, each beginning, “The summer days are come again”, the concluding quatrain of the last stanza re-written. 43. _’Tis winter now; the fallen snow._ Dated 1859 in H. & V. In Hys. Sp., 4 stas. of 4 l. 44. _Thou Lord of life, our saving health._ (Dedication of hospital) “Written for dedication of Cambridge Hospital.” In H. & V., 4 stas. of 4 l., dated 1886. 45. _We sowed a seed in faith and hope._ “Written for the 25^th anniversary of the first meeting of the Second Unitarian Society of Brooklyn”, included in H. & V. under title “The truth shall make you free.” No further use. 46. _When from the Jordan’s gleaming wave._ (Baptism) Dated 1848 in H. & V., but it was included in Bk. Hys. 1846, 5 stas. of 4 l. There are also five hymns, composite in origin and listed as “Anonymous” in Hys. Sp. 1864, which in style and sentiment so closely resemble S.L.’s writings as to suggest that he gave them the form in which they are there printed, viz:— 47. _As darker, darker fall around_ _The shadows of the night._ This is printed in 6 stas., the first four of which are taken from “The Hymn of the Calabrian Shepherds,” printed in William Young’s _Catholic Choralist_, 1842, but there beginning, “Darker and darker fall around.” The 5^th and 6^th stas. may be by S.L. since he referred to this hymn as it appeared in Hys. Sp. as “founded upon the Hymn of the Calabrian Shepherds,” tho he did not state that he wrote them. (H. W. Foote, _The Anonymous Hymns of Samuel Longfellow_; and Julian, _Dictionary_, p. 1627.) 48. _Come, thou Almighty Will_ This hymn in three stanzas was included as Anon. in Longfellow and Johnson’s _Hymns of the Spirit_, 1864. Its theme was obviously suggested by Ray Palmer’s five stanza translation of the 12^th century Latin hymn _Veni Sancte Spiritus_, beginning _Come, Holy Ghost, in love_, published in 1858, from which three lines are borrowed intact, with as many more which only slightly alter Palmer’s words. Since the religious outlook expressed is characteristic of Samuel Longfellow, and the hymn first appeared in _Hymns of the Spirit_, it seems certain that he was the author but listed it as _Anon_, because of its composite form. It was included in several later Unitarian hymn books, most recently in _The New Hymn and Tune Book_, 1914, and in _Hymns of the Spirit_, 1937. (J. 1623 H.W.F.) 49. _Give forth thine earnest cry._
