4. O ye who with the silent tear. Burial. It is stanzas i., iii. slightly altered, and was given in Bickersteth's Christian Psalmody, 1833, as by "Whitmore"; in the 1836 ed., as by "Huie"; and in his son's Psalms & Hymns based on the Christian Psalmondy, 1858, as by " Hull," which is probably a misprint for “Huie."
