His hymn for Holy Communion, "Saviour, Who didst come to give," in The Hymnal of the Trot. Episcopal Church, 1892, was first printed in The Living Church, 1885, and passed from thence into several collections. It is a great drawback to Dr. Bartlett's hymns that they have not been gathered together in book form.
