Psalm xvi., from The Psalter in English Verse, lS6o. Dr. Kennedy was born at Summer Hill, near Birmingham, 1804; head master of Shrewsbury School, 1S36-66; Regius THE STORY OF THE HYMNS AND THEIR WRITERS 269 Professor of Greek at Cambridge, and Canon of Ely, 1S67. He died at Torquay in 1889. Dr. Kennedy also published H yinnologia Christiaiia, 1863. Hymn 429. O God, my God, my all Thou art. Spanish ; translated by John Wesley (36). Appeared in Wesley's collection of Psalms and Hynws, 1738, the ...enlarged edition of that pubhshed at Charlestown in 1737. Works, i. 174. In Hymns and Sacred Poems it is headed ' God our Portion. From the Spanish.' One verse is omitted — In holiness within Thy gates Of old oft have I sought for Thee : Again my longing spirit waits That fullness of delight to see. Dr. Osborn says, ' This noble version of Ps. Ixiii. was inserted in the book of 1738, and therefore probably translated in America. The Spanish author is unknown.' Wesley writes, on April 4, 1 737, ' I began learning Spanish, in order to converse with my Jewish parishioners ; some of whom seem nearer the mind that was in Christ than many of those who call Him Lord.' This hymn may therefore be described as the first-fruits of Wesley's new branch of knowledge.
