Let me alone [another] this only year. C.Wesley. [Death Anticipated]. Published in Preparation for Death in Several Hymns, 1772, No. 43, in 4 stanzas of 8 lines (Poetical Works, 1868-72, vol. vii. p. 396). In 1830 it was given in the supplement to the Wesleyan Hymn Book as "Let me alone another year;" and this has been repeated in a few collections. The hymn "Because for me the Saviour prays," in the American Methodist Episcopal Hymns, 1849, No. 381, is from this hymn, and begins with the second half of stanza i. with the lines transposed.
