" ABIDE WITH ME " [To the Editor of the
SPECTATOR.] Sm,—I am sure many people would be glad to have a correct copy of the Hymn " Abide with me." In a letter to The Times the other day, Mr. A. Hunt, of 2D, Oxford and Cambridge Mansions, N.W. 1, says he has one which was given to him over a quarter of a century ago by Mr. Lyte's son, and that in the hymnals words have been altered, and verses left out. Perhaps he or members of Mr. Maxwell-Lyte's family would provide a correct copy if the Spectator would be kind enough
to publish it.—I am, Sir, &c., F. S.
