And art thou with us, gracious Lord? P. Doddridge. [In trouble.] Not in the "Doddridge manuscript" and first published in J. Orton's edition of his Hymns, &c., 1755, No. 98, in 5 stanzas of 4 lines, with the heading, “The timorous Saint encouraged by the Assurance of the Divine Presence and Help. Is. xli. 10." The same text was repeated in J. D. Humphreys's edition of Doddridge's Hymns, 1839. Its use is limited, and in Spurgeon's Our Own Hymn Book, stanza ii. is omitted. In a few collections, including Lant Carpenter's Unitarian Hymn Book, Bristol, 1831, and others, a cento is given as, “Art thou still with us, gracious Lord?" It is composed of stanzas i., ii., and iv., slightly altered.
