LYTE, HENRY FRANCIS (1793-1847) ,
Anglican
  divine and hymn-writer, was born near
Kelso
  on the 1st of June 1793, and was educated at Enniskillen school and at Trinity College, Dublin. He took orders in 1815, and for some time held a curacy near
Wexford
 . Owing to infirm
health
  he came to England, and after several changes settled, in 1823, in the parish of Brixham. In 1844 his
health
  finally gave way; and he died at Nice on the loth of November 1847.
Lyte's first
work
  was Tales in Verse illustrative of Several of the Petitions in the Lord's
Prayer
  (1826), which was written at
Lymington
  and was commended by
Wilson
  in the Noctes Ambrosianae. He next published (1833) a volume of Poems, chiefly Religious, and in 1834 a little collection of
psalms
  and hymns entitled The Spirit of the
Psalms
 . After his death, a volume of Remains with a memoir was published, and the poems contained in this, with those in Poems, chiefly Religious, were afterwards issued in one volume (1868). His best known hymns are "Abide with me! fast falls the eventide "; " Jesus, I my
cross
  have taken "; Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven "; and " Pleasant are Thy courts above."
