Notes
Notes: This is the second stanza of “A Morning Hymn” first included in Thomas Ken’s revised edition in 1695. B&C does not list a corresponding stitcher using this verse in the sampler list! Searched the internet for all makers’ whose samplers matched the 1767 date for images online and cannot locate a match with this verse.
