Wordsworth, Bp. C. (Lincoln), p. 1294, i. Of his hymus, noted on p. 1294, i., ., we find that No. 39 appeared in his Holy Year in 1864; and Nos. 34, 85, and 40 in 1862. The first edition in which the longer hymus were divided into parts was that of 1868. With regard to the date of Bp. Wordsworth's death, we find this reference thereto in his Biography:
"He expired soon after midnight on Friday, March 20, or perhaps, it might be said, early on the Saturday morning." This gives the date of his death as March 21, 1885. [J. J.]
Wordsworth, Elizabeth, daughter of Ilarrow in 1840, and is now (1907) the Head Bp. C. Wordsworth, of Lincoln, was b. at of the Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford. The following of her hymns are in C. U.

It was written for and first published in Church Hys., 1943. Miss Wordsworth's tr direct from the German of "Ein' festa Burg," is given mnder that layman. during the South African war, and included in Church
2. Great Ruler of the Nations. [For Peace.] Written Hys., 1903.
3. 0 Lord our Banner, God of Might. [In Time of ar.] Miss Wordsworth wrote concerning this hymn:
"To the best of my knowledge and belief, I wrote it in the winter of 1884-5, when the excitement about (fer.mal Gordon was at its height. The lines JeliovaliNissl' appeared in the Guardian of Jan. 21, 1885, signed Veritas. This is our family motta, and as such was well known to my own family circle" (Church Times, Nov. 17, 1899). The hymn was frequently printed as a leaflet, and entitled "Jehovah-Nissi. A bymin for our Soldiers." It was included in Church Hys., 1903. J. J.]

Yet there is room, p. 1899, i. The Rev. H. N. Bonar in his Hys. by Horatius Bonar, Selected and Arranged by his son, H. N. Bonar, says, p. xxv.:—
About that time [1877] hymns again begin to appear in the note-books [of Dr. Bonar], several being specially written for Mr. Sankey, the American evangelist. The story of one hymn which has become generally known may be of interest. Dr. Sankey wished to use as a solo Tennyson's sad and beautiful poem from "Guinevere": "Late, late, so late and dark the night and chill." He composed a tune for it, but copyright difficulties arose and hindered his including the words in his hymn book. So being left with a tune without words, he asked my father to write a hymn to it, keeping, if possible, to the same Scriptural theme. This was done, and "Yet there is room," was the result (p. xxv.); "Rejoice and be glad" (p. 955, i.); and "Watch, brethren, watch"," were also written about this time."
This hymn is said on p. 162, i. 82, to have been published in Dr. Bonar's Song of the New Creation, 1874. This is an error. It appeared in his Hys. of the Nativity, 1879. In a copy of Mr. Sankey's Sac. Songs, &c., of thirty-one hymns, received at the Brit. Museum, May 7, 1874, this hymn is the last. [J. J.]
