You now must hear my voice no more. W. Robertson. [Ascensiontide.] First appeared as No. 15 in the Draft Scottish Translations and Paraphrases, 1745, as a version of John xiv., 25-29, in 6 stanzas of 4 lines and slightly altered in the revised edition issued in 1751. In the Draft of 1781 it was included as No. 43, considerably altered, and with stanzas v., vi. omitted. In the public worship edition of the Translations & Paraphrases, issued in that year by the Church of Scotland and still in use, stanza ii. was rewritten, and stanza i., line 3, stanza iii., line 1, were altered from the Draft. In the markings by the eldest daughter of W. Cameron the original is ascribed to Robertson, and the alterations in 1781 to Cameron. The revised text of 1781 is included in the English Presbyterian Psalms & Hymns, 1867, and a few other modern hymnals. (Compare the version of the same passage of Holy Scripture "Peace—it was our Saviour's blessing," No. 73, in Miss Leeson's Translations and Paraphrases for Congregational Singing, 1853.) [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]
