passim. Hymns, in score, by Thomas Miles; 19th century. Autograph. Many of them do not follow strictly the usual form of the English hymn, the parts being sometimes written independently of each other, and occasionally even solo parts being introduced. Most of them are for 4 voices, and without accompaniment; but in many instances the bass-part has been figured. The words of the Hymns in this volume and Add MS 32014 are taken from various collections of metrical psalms, etc., including 'Christian Psalmody' [1st edition, 1837], ‘[Rev. William John] Hall's Ps[alms] and Hy[mns] of the Church' [? an early edition of his 'Psalm and Hymn Tunes'], '[Hon. Baptist Wriothesley] Noel's 'Selection [of Psalms and Hymns', 1838],’ ‘[Rev. William] Goode['s 'An Entire New Version of the . . . Psalms', 1811, etc.]’; and from other works by [Isaac] Watts, Dr. [Philip] Doddridge, Charles and John Wesley, Rev. J[ohn] Newton, [Bishop] Heber, Mrs. [Anne] Steele, [James] Montgomery, etc.

'To Thee, my God, to Thee alone': psalm (Merrick), with figured bass. '1847.' f. 60b. 4. 'Supreme and universal light!' Hymn (Moore). '1849.'
