Notes

Father of mercies, condescend. This is given at p. 667, i., as by John Lawson, on the authority of the Baptist New Selection, 1828; and at p. 770, i., to Thomas Morrell, on the authority of the Evangelical Magazine, Dec, 1818. Further enquiries lead us to believe the hymn was composed by Lawson.
