W.E. Hickson's "O Come, Come Away" lyrics to this tune were also used in the 1874 publication Songs of the Grange, a collection attributed to Caroline Arabella Hall (available for download from Google Books and the HathiTrust Digital Library). It's the first song in the book, using Hickson's first verse in full and modifying his fourth verse slightly to read:

The bright day Is gone, the moon and stars appearing,
With silver light illume the night, O come, come away.
Come, join your prayers with ours; address
Kind Heaven, our peaceful Grange to bless,
And crown all with success — 0 come, come away !
