The Son of David bowed to die. J. Anstice. [Easter.] Appeared in his posthumous Hymns, published by his widow in 1836, No. 15, in 4 stanzas of 6 lines. It is sometimes given in its full form, and at others abbreviated to 3 stanzas as in Thring's Collection, 1882. It is a spirited hymn and worthy of more attention than it has received.
