When Rome had shrouded earth in night, 283

When streaming from the eastern skies, 19

When the day of toil is done, 546

Where’er I go, whate’er my task, 372

Where wilt thou go, since night draws near, 227

While with ceaseless course the sun, 163

While yet the morn is breaking, 21

Who is this that comes from Edom, 223

Who knows how near my end may be, 544

Who puts his trust, 511

Who shall the Lord’s elect condemn, 313

Why do we mourn departing friends, 542

Why should sorrow ever grieve me, 501

Wilt thou, O man, live happily, 392

With broken heart and contrite sigh, 418

With joy we hall the sacred day, 128

Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith, 426

Ye servants of the Lord, 382

Yes, there remaineth yet a rest, 566
