8,it is not surprizing that a body including the best blood and highest culture of ,massachusetts shared in the ,literary ,movement of the #aith century and succeeded in imparting to its hymn books a freshness of interest in great contrast to those of the orthodox churches0 and that 8from their the compilers' hands there proceeded ---- a series of hymn books whose literary interest was very notable0 7p4 #dfb74 ,this succession of ,unitarian hymn writers over a period of approximately #aej years can best be traced in the nearly #ej hymn books compiled by individuals or committees for use in ,unitarian churches4#c ,the editors of these books were among the best educated men of their time1 who knew where to look for fresh lyrical utterances of a living faith4 ,the earliest of them lived in the period when the traditional metrical psalms which1 for more than two centuries1 had been almost the only worship-song of the ,english speaking world1 were being slowly superseded by the songs of a new age4 ,these songs they chiefly found in the various hymn-books published for use in ,english ,non-conformist chapels when the ,church of ,england still generally adhered to the ,old or ,new ,versions of the ,psalms4 ,it was from these sources that ,jeremy ,belknap first introduced to ,americans the hymns of ,anne ,steele1 and included in his ,sacred ,poetry 7#agie7 hymns by ,addison1 ,cowper1 ,newton1 ,doddridge and other ,english contemporaries4 ,when1 in #ahjh1 the vestry of ,trinity ,church1 ,boston1 impatient at the delay of the ,general ,convention of the ,protestant ,episcopal ,church in getting out a hymnal1 issued one for their own use1 they drew heavily upon ,belknap's collection1 saying in their preface 8,in this selection we are chiefly indebted to ,dr4 ,belknap1 whose book unquestionably contains the best expressions of sacred poetry extant40 ,many of the later collections in this series of ,unitarian hymn books have been no less notable for their introduction to use in this country of new ,english hymns1 such as ,pope's 8,father of all1 in every age20 ,sir ,walter ,scott's 8,when ,israel of the ,lord beloved20 translations of hymns in the ,roman ,breviary2 ,sarah ,flower ,adams' 8,nearer1 my ,god1 to ,thee0 7only three years after its publication in ,england72 and ,newman's 8,lead1 kindly ,light20 and for the ability of their compilers to discover fresh materials near at hand1 as when ,samuel ,longfellow and ,samuel ,johnson were the first to notice the hymnic possibilities of ,whittier's poems4 ,the story of ,american ,unitarian hymnody begins with the publication in #aghc of the ,collection of ,hymns--designed for the use of the ,west ,society of ,boston4 ,this church belonged to the liberal wing of ,new ,england ,congregationalism1 destined to become known as ,unitarian a generation later4 ,the book contained a small selection of traditional psalms and hymns by ,british authors and a number of quaintly didactic moral ditties in doggerel1 presumably contributed by ,boston versifiers who cannot now be identified4 ,the first group of ,unitarian hymn-writers whose names are known and whose productions have survived did not begin to write until the opening decades of the #aith century4 ,of this group the earliest born was ,john ,quincy ,adams1 7#agfg-ahdh71 best remembered as the sixth ,president of the ,united ,states4 ,that he was also a hymn writer1 and the only president of the country who was one1 has generally been forgotten4 ,two or three hymns by him were written earlier but most of them came from the period following his retirement from the presidency in #ahbi4 ,soon after that event he wrote one for the #bjjth anniversary of the ,first ,church in ,quincy1 of which he was a member1 and later in life he composed a metrical paraphrase of the whole ,book of ,psalms4 ,when ,dr4 ,lunt1 minister of the ,quincy church1 was preparing his ,christian ,psalter1 #ahda1 ,mrs4 ,adams put into his hands the mss4 of her husband's poems1 and ,lunt included in his book five hymns and seventeen psalms by his distinguished parishioner4 ,none of them rose above the level of respectable verse but his version of ,psalm #dc survived in one or more hymn books #ajj years later4 ,rev4 ,john ,pierpont 7#aghe-ahff7 was a poet of considerable abilities whose verses were in demand for special occasions and whose hymns were the best lyrical expressions of the developing new thought in religion4 ,w4 ,garrett ,horder1 the ,english hymnologist1 wrote that ,pierpont's hymn of universal praise was 8the earliest really great hymn ,i have found by an ,american author40 ,it is still in use1 as are two others by him4 ,prof4 ,andrews ,norton 7#aghf-ahec7 of the ,harvard ,divinity ,school1 published a hymn as early as #ahji and a good deal of verse in later years1 much of it in a rather sombre introspective mood1 but with one fine hymn still in use4 ,he was followed by ,rev4 ,nathaniel ,langdon ,frothingham 7#agic-ahgj7 who wrote a good many hymns for special occasions1 one of which survives today1 and by ,rev4 ,henry ,ware1 ,jr4 7#agid-ahdc7 who wrote a number of hymns highly valued as utterances of the religious idealism of the period1 but long since dropped from use1 except for an excellent one for the dedication of an organ1 probably the only hymn in the ,english language written expressly for such an occasion4 ,william ,cullen ,bryant 7#agid-ahgh71 a lay man of letters1 was another of the elder members of the famous group of ,new ,england poets of the #aith century1 and as early as #ahbj he contributed #e hymns to ,sewall's ,new ,york ,collection1 published in that year1 and he later wrote others4 ,the latest born of this first group who attained memorable distinction in this field was ,rev4 ,frederic ,henry ,hedge 7#ahje-ahij71 whose earliest hymn1 still in use1 was written in #ahbi1 but who is best known for his great translation of ,luther's 8,ein' feste ,burg10 and for a fine ,good ,friday hymn4 ,he collaborated with ,rev4 ,frederic ,dan ,huntington#d 7#ahai-aijd7 then the college preacher at ,harvard1 in compiling ,hymns for the ,church of ,christ1 7#ahec71 to which ,huntington contributed five hymns1 none now in use4 ,their book was the last and best of the various ,collections published up to the middle of the century by editors who belonged to what was becoming the conservative wing of the denomination1 to whom ,emerson's ,divinity ,school ,address of #ahch seemed dangerously radical4 ,but meantime a new era in ,unitarian hymnody was opening with the publication in #ahdf of the ,book of ,hymns edited by ,samuel ,longfellow 7#ahai-ahia7 and ,samuel ,johnson 7#ahbb-ahhb71 while they were still studying in the ,harvard ,divinity ,school4 ,both had come under the influence of the ,transcendentalist movement which was liberalizing ,unitarian thought and they eagerly sought out hymns which were fresh expressions of their youthful outlook on religion4 ,the book was notable for the new sources of hymns which they discovered1 among them the poems of ,john ,greenleaf ,whittier1 which they were the first to introduce into a hymn book4 ,their ,book of ,hymns was followed in #ahfd by their larger and even more influential ,hymns of the ,spirit1 which includes most of their own hymns and many by other ,unitarian writers of the period1 too numerous to name here1 but whose hymns are listed in the catalogue of writers appended to this introductory sketch4 ,samuel ,johnson wrote only half a dozen hymns1 but they are among the finest in the language4 ,samuel ,longfellow wrote many more1 the best of which are quite equal to ,johnson's1 and together they made a more important contribution to ,american ,unitarian hymnody than that of any other writers in the middle of the #aith century4 ,this was the period of 8the flowering of ,new ,england literature0 and two of its poets1 besides those already named1 made their contribution to hymnody4 ,the more important of the two was ,dr4 ,oliver ,wendell ,holmes1 7#ahji-ahid7 with half a dozen fine and widely used hymns1 and ,prof4 ,james ,russell ,lowell 7#ahai-ahia7 who1 strictly speaking1 was hardly a hymn writer at all1 but from whose poems two or three have been quarried4 ,two other writers of this period were ,rev4 ,edmund ,hamilton ,sears 7#ahaj-ahgf7 and his niece1 ,miss ,eliza ,scudder 7#ahai-ahif74 ,sears wrote two ,christmas hymns widely used throughout the ,english speaking world4 ,miss ,scudder wrote half a dozen hymns in a mystical vein of the highest quality1 but in temperament and outlook both writers belong more to the earlier period of ,unitarian thought than to that prevalent in their later lifetime4 ,in this mid-century period should also be included the famous war-time hymn by ,mrs4 ,julia ,ward ,howe 7#ahai-aiaj71 8,mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the ,lord10 written in #ahfa to provide worthier words than 8,john ,brown's body0 for the popular tune 8,glory1 ,hallelujah01 which had been composed a few years earlier for a ,sunday ,school in ,charleston1 ,south ,carolina4 ,a third period in ,unitarian hymnody began with the appearance of hymns by three good friends1 ,rev4 ,john ,white ,chadwick 7#ahdj-aijf71 ,rev4 ,frederic ,lucian ,hosmer 7#ahdj-aibi7 and ,rev4 ,william ,channing ,gannett 7#ahdj-aibc71 who carried forward in the last third of the century the broadly theistic interpretation of a universal religion to which ,longfellow and ,johnson had given utterance4 ,chadwick's first hymn was written in #ahfd for the graduation of his class from the ,harvard ,divinity ,school1 a great hymn of brotherhood1 widely used in ,england as well as here4 ,a half-dozen others of fine quality have survived4 ,hosmer and ,gannett worked together in bringing out their book ,the ,thought of ,god in ,hymns and ,poems1 #ahhe1 #ahid1 and ,unity ,hymns and ,chorals1 #ahhj1 #aiaa4 ,neither wrote any hymns while in the ,divinity ,school1 but both began to do so soon after4 ,in #ahgc ,gannett wrote a fine one which is probably the earliest in the language to give a religious interpretation to the then controversial doctrine of evolution1 and later a half dozen others to which deep feeling is expressed in beautiful lyrical verse4 ,hosmer1 however1 was a much more prolific writer1 producing more than #dj hymns which have had some use4 ,he was a meticulous craftsman who studied the technique of hymn-writing1 and several of his hymns are among the finest in the language4 ,canon ,dearmer1 a leading authority on hymnody in the ,church of ,england1 included seven of them in his ,songs of ,praise and calls one of them 8this flawless poem1 one of the completest expressions of religious faith10 and says another is 8one of the noblest hymns in the language40 ,for approximately #dj years1 c4 #ahhj-aibj1 ,hosmer was the outstanding hymn writer in the ,english speaking world1 and he left no successor who was his equal in the perfection of his finest hymns4 ,a smaller but important contribution to the ,unitarian hymnody of this period was made by ,rev4 ,theodore ,chickering ,williams 7#ahee-aiae7 who1 while still a student in the ,harvard ,divinity ,school wrote one of the best ordination hymns in the language1 and1 in later years1 eight others1 still in use1 which are religious poetry of a high order4 ,the latest period in ,unitarian hymnody1 covering the last half-century1 is notable for the productions of two writers1 ,rev4 ,marion ,franklin ,ham 7#ahfg-aieg7 and ,rev4 ,john ,haynes ,holmes1 7#ahgi-still living74 ,although he had published a volume of poems in #ahif ,dr4 ,ham did not begin to write hymns until #aiaa1 but thereafter he produced a succession of beautiful religious lyrics1 eight or ten of which have come into use4 ,some of them are utterances of a profound mystical insight akin to that of ,eliza ,scudder1 but others are expressions of a world-wide theism1 and one has been translated into ,japanese4 ,rev4 ,john ,haynes ,holmes has been a more prolific writer1 author of about #de hymns1 many written for special occasions1 but #aj or #ae others have come into general and widespread use4 ,his hymns are in a quite different key from those of ,dr4 ,ham's quiet mysticism1 generally being stirring calls to social justice and the service of mankind1 though a few are hymns of gratitude for the simple joys of life4 ,while he has infrequently attained the felicity of phrasing which results in a memorable line his hymns are cast in vigorous and often stirring verse1 expressing a noble altruism and a wholesome attitude towards life4 ,m4 ,f4 ,ham and ,j4 ,h4 ,holmes are the latest notable figures in this era of #aej years since the beginning of ,american ,unitarian hymnody1 throughout which scores of lesser writers have also contributed their offerings to the main stream4 ,these writers are far too numerous to name in this outline sketch but their thumbnail biographies and notations as to their hymns will be found in the following catalogue4 ,a survey of this whole era discloses the evolution in liberal religious thought from the period when the emphasis was on the sinfulness of man and the redemptive function of the ,christian ,church1 to the vision of a world wide religion taking in many forms1 and manifested in that service of mankind which found expression in the 8social gospel0 in the first half of this century4 ,the production of so great a number of fine hymns 7and of a long series of hymn books of a superior type7 over so long a period1 by persons belonging to one of the smallest ,protestant denominations1 commonly considered coldly intellectual rather than emotional in its approach to religion1 is a phenomenon unique in the history of hymnody4 ,when the first edition of the ,pilgrim ,hymnal was published in #aiaj it listed both the nationality and the church membership of the authors included1 which led to the disclosure that nearly half the ,american authors were ,unitarians who had contributed considerably more than half the hymns of ,american authorship4 ,in answer to critics ,dr4 ,washington ,gladden replied that this was due to the simple fact that the ,unitarians had written a larger number of the best hymns than had the ,american writers in other denominations4 ,canon ,dearmer in ,england observed the same fact and was puzzled to explain it4 ,the explanation1 however1 is a simple one4 ,with the exception of a relatively small number of writers born in other parts of the country and with different backgrounds1 these ,unitarian authors were men brought up in the atmosphere of the so-called 8,new ,england ,renaissance10 that literary revival of which ,boston1 ,cambridge and ,concord were the chief centres in the #aith century1 and they belonged by blood1 by education and by social ties to the ,new ,england literary group4 ,the majority were also graduates of ,harvard ,college or ,harvard ,divinity ,school1 or both1 in a period when the spirit of the time was most favorable to the stimulation of poetic gifts1 and in a place where the intellectual level was high and there was freedom from any dogmatic control4#e ,thus they had the culture and the warmth of atmosphere needed1 and the ,divinity ,school had the admirable custom of encouraging students to write a hymn for the annual graduation exercises or for the ,school's ,christmas service1 and so stimulated their poetic gifts4 ,thanks to these favorable circumstances what has been called 8the ,harvard school of hymnody0 has had no equal in the ,english speaking world1 the only comparable institution being ,trinity ,college1 ,cambridge1 ,england1 which1 for a much briefer period 7#ahbj-ahde7 was the nursing mother of a notable succession of ,anglican hymn writers4 ,it was this fact which led ,w4 ,garrett ,horder1 an ,english ,congregationalist who was also a highly competent hymnologist1 to write1 8,harvard1 like our ,english ,cambridge1 has been #8a nest of singing birds'4 ,i was struck by this when editing ,the ,treasury of ,american ,sacred ,songs4 ,harvard provided the bulk ---- of the verse ,i included40 ,and other orthodox authorities1 notably ,f4 ,m4 ,bird and ,louis ,f4 ,benson1 already quoted1 have borne witness to the high achievements of both the editors of the long succession of ,unitarian hymn books and the authors of the hymns which they included4 ,catalogue of ,american ,unitarian ,hymn ,books4 compiled by ,henry ,wilder ,foote and reprinted 7with revisions7 from the ,proceedings of the ,unitarian ,historical ,society1 ,may1 #aich1 by permission4 ,in the #agth century1 and down to the middle of the #ahth1 all churches of the ,congregational order in ,new ,england used the ,bay ,psalm ,book1 first printed in ,cambridge in #afdj1 except for the use of ,ainsworth's ,psalter in the churches of the ,plymouth ,plantation and in the ,first ,church in ,salem for a part of the #agth century4 ,in the latter part of the #ahth century1 the ,bay ,psalm ,book was gradually superseded by either the ,new ,version of the ,psalms 7,tate and ,brady7 or1 more generally1 by one of the editions of ,watts and ,select1 i4e4 ,isaac ,watts' ,psalms and ,hymns1 with a supplement of hymns selected from other authors4 ,the first steps away from the ,psalm books in general use were taken by two churches which were in the vanguard of the rising liberalism of the last half of the #ahth century4 ,in #aghb the ,west ,church in ,boston published ,a ,collection of ,hymns1 more particularly designed for the ,use of the ,west ,society in ,boston 7#a71f and in #aghh the ,east ,church in ,salem published ,a ,collection of ,hymns for ,publick ,worship1 7#b74 ,these two books were of only local significance1 but they clearly pointed the way which later publications were to follow4 ,in #agie ,rev4 ,jeremy ,belknap brought out his ,sacred ,poetry 7#c71 which was an attempt to produce a book which should be acceptable to both the liberal and the orthodox wings of ,congregationalism4 ,in this purpose it failed1 though it was widely used by ,unitarians4 ,the succeeding books were more definitely ,unitarian in character and illustrate the changing emphasis in religious thought and practice through five generations of religious liberals4 ,they form a notable series1 for most of them attained a literary standard and spiritual outlook higher than that of other contemporary hymn books4 ,the earlier books in this series were very imperfectly edited1 judged by modern standards4 ,some of them contain no preface and no indication as to the identity of the compiler4 ,in other cases1 the compiler is indicated by initials4 ,in some cases the names of the authors of hymns are not given at all1 in others only the surname1 when known1 and there are frequent mistaken attributions4 ,directions as to the music are usually lacking1 the metre of each hymn alone being indicated4 ,in some cases the names of suitable tunes are given1 but only one book 7#ah7 earlier than #ahfh included any music1 in that case an appendix of twenty-one tunes in two parts at the back of the book4 ,the first ,american ,unitarian hymn book to be printed with a tune on each page was the ,american ,unitarian ,association's ,hymn and ,tune ,book of #ahfh 7#cd74 ,thereafter few books appeared without tunes1 but half-a-dozen other collections with music were published in the next forty years1 each of which had considerable use4 ,it will be noted that in the course of the #aith century no less than thirty-six different hymn-books appeared1 a far larger number than any other ,american denomination can show for the same period1 and illustrative of the extreme individualism of the ,unitarian churches4 ,throughout the middle third of the century ,greenwood's ,collection 7#ac71 the ,springfield ,collection 7#ad71 and the ,cheshire ,collection 7#bj71 had the widest use1 followed in the last third of the century by the ,hymn and ,tune ,books 7#cd7 and 7#cf7 of the ,american ,unitarian ,association1 but all the other collections had some local vogue1 in some cases only for a brief period or only in those churches the ministers of which had compiled the collections in question4 ,as late1 however1 as the beginning of the #bjth century1 at least eight different hymn-books were in use in the ,unitarian churches of the ,united ,states and ,canada4 ,this diversity of usage declined rapidly after the publication of ,the ,new ,hymn and ,tune ,book 7#de7 in #aiad1 and had practically disappeared by the time when that book's successor1 ,hymns of the ,spirit 7#dh7 was published in #aicg4 ,,bibliography ,copies of at least one edition of each of the

wings of the ,new ,england ,congregationalism of his day4 ,in his preface he says1 8,in this selection1 those ,christians who do not scruple to sing praises to their ,redeemer and ,sanctifier1 will

,united ,states ,minister to ,england1 the ,netherlands and ,prussia4 ,in #ahjf he was appointed ,professor of ,rhetoric at ,harvard4 ,in #ahji he became ,united ,states ,minister to ,russia1 in #ahag he was ,secretary of ,state1 and from #ahbd to #ahbh he was ,president of the ,united ,states4 ,in #ahca he was elected to the ,house of ,representatives1 in which body he served until his death4 ,most of his verse1 both religious and secular1 was written after he had left the ,presidency1 but he remains the only hymn writer who has ever been ,president of this country4 ,in his later years he composed a metrical version of the ,psalms1 best described as a free rendering in fairly good verse of what he felt was the essential idea of each ,psalm4 ,when his minister1 ,rev4 ,william ,p4 ,lunt1 q4v41 of the ,first ,parish1 7,unitarian7 ,quincy1 ,massachusetts1 undertook the preparation of his hymn book ,the ,christian ,psalmist1 7#ahda71 ,mrs4 ,adams put the manuscript of her husband's metrical ,psalms into ,mr4 ,lunt's hands1 and the latter included #ag of them in his book1 and five other hymns by his distinguished parishioner4 ,the effect on ,adams is recorded in a moving entry in his ,journal which reveals an aspect of his character quite unknown to those who regarded him as an opinionated and uncompromising though sincere and upright politician4 ,he wrote on ,june #bi1 #ahde1 8,mr4 ,lunt preached this morning1 ,eccles4 ,,iii1 #a4 ,for everything there is a season4 ,he had given out as the first hymn to be sung the #achth of the ,christian ,psalter1 his compilation and the hymn-book now used in our church4 ,it was my version of the #feth ,psalm2 and no words can express the sensations with which ,i heard it sung4 ,were it possible to compress into one pulsation of the heart the pleasure which1 in the whole period of my life1 ,i have enjoyed in praise from the lips of mortal man1 it would not weigh a straw to balance the ecstasy of delight which streamed from my eyes as the organ pealed and the choir of voices sung the praise of ,almighty ,god from the soul of ,david1 adapted to my native tongue by me4 ,there was one drawback4 ,in the printed book1 the fifth line of the second stanza reads1 #8,the morning's dawn1 the evening's shade1' and so it was sung1 but the corresponding seventh line of the same stanza reads1 #8,the fields from thee the rains receive1' totally destroying the rhyme4 ,i instantly saw that the fifth line should read1 #8,the morning's dawn1 the shades of eve1' but whether this enormous blunder was committed by the copyist or the pressman ,i am left to conjecture40 ,after ,adams' death his verses1 both religious and secular1 were published in a small volume entitled ,poems of ,religion and ,society1 ,new ,york1 #ahdh1 which ran to a fourth edition in #ahed4 ,this collection included the five hymns and #ag metrical ,psalms printed in ,the ,christian ,psalmist1 unchanged except that the opening line of each psalm has been substituted for the number of the psalm as its heading4 ,nor was the misprint which ,adams lamented amended4 ,judged by the conventional standards of his time ,adams' poetry was consistently respectable verse1 but without any notable distinction other than that lent to it by the fame of the author4 ,his five hymns are1 #a4 ,sure to the mansions of the blest1 7,death of ,children7 ,this is

with this line was written about #ageg in ,england4 ,it has often been mistakenly attributed to ,charles ,wesley1 and research has failed to discover who its author was4 ,perhaps he thought it prudent not to disclose his name because both his words and the tune by ,felice di ,giardini to which it was set in #agfi offered so marked a contrast to the ,british national anthem1 in the same unusual metre1 which had come into popular use about #agde with the words ,god save our lord the ,king4 ,american ,unitarians in the #aith century could sing the first stanza of the hymn1 addressed to the 8,father all glorious10 but not the trinitarian stanzas which followed4 ,an unknown writer produced two additional stanzas in a carefully revised version which was included in ,lunt's ,christian ,psalter1 #ahda2 in the #ahea ,supplement to ,longfellow and ,johnson's ,book of ,hymns1 #ahdf2 and in their ,hymns of the ,spirit1 #ahfd4 ,this version1 however1 was not satisfactory to later ,unitarians and was again largely rewritten in the form in which it has been included in most of the ,unitarian hymn books of more recent date4 ,this version will be found in ,the ,new ,hymn and ,tune ,book1 #aiad1 and in ,hymns of the ,spirit1 #aicg4 ,h4,w4,f4 ,for mercies past we praise thee1 ,lord1 ,given as ,anonymous in ,longfellow and ,johnson's ,book of ,hymns1 #ahdf1 in #d stas4 of #d l4

the text of either1 and neither appears to have been included in any ,collection4 ,as indicated in the foregoing list1 the text of several of ,bryant's hymns is found with the opening line altered from the original1 either by the author himself1 or1 presumably1 with his consent1 so that it is impossible to say which is the correct or authorized form1 and frequently no more than approximate date of composition can be given4 ,the early flowering of ,bryant's gifts as a poet1 promoted by a fortunate combination of circumstances1 quickly brought him widespread recognition in both ,great ,britain and ,america1 which deepened into respect for his fine character as he advanced in age4 ,the writings of no other ,american poet of his period were so eagerly searched by compilers of hymn books1 who sometimes included verses which were meditative1 poems rather than hymns1 e4g41 nos4 #h1 #aj1 #bj and #be in the above list4 ,bryant's mind was cool and meditative1 and his hymns are correct and smoothly flowing1 but seldom touched with lyric fire1 and none of them quite reach the highest level4 ,they express an attitude towards religion characteristic of the intellectual life of his time but now largely passed away4 ,no4 #af is still included in several leading hymn collections of the #bjth century2 nos4 #aa and #ah are in the ,unitarian ,new ,hymn and ,tune ,book1 #aiad2 and nos4 #ab and

,divinity ,school1 and his hymns are expressions of a theological outlook similar to theirs1 notably in his endeavor to give a religious interpretation to the then disputed doctrine of evolution4 ,although several of his hymns are of exceptionally fine quality1 he often wrote in haste1 lacking the patience with which his two friends sought for the precise word to convey their meaning1 but he often abbreviated or re-wrote his verses at the request of hymn-book editors1 or willingly accepted their proposed alterations4 ,the result is that some of his hymns now appear in forms which depart considerably from their original texts4 ,his secular poems1 mostly the utterances of a nature lover1 are often the too hastily written verse of a minor poet4 ,his ,book of ,poems1 #ahhh1 and ,later ,poems1 #aije1 include all his hymns1 three of which had little use1 viz3 #a4 ,a gentle tumult in the earth1 7,easter7 #ahgf #b4 ,everlasting ,holy ,one1 7,invocation7 #ahge #c4 ,o ,god1 we come not

7,communion of ,saints7 ,this is arranged from the same sources4 ,stanzas #a and #b are the first two stanzas in 8,william ,cullen ,bryant10 the last three stanzas are stanzas #aa1 #g1 and #h in 8,a

as 8,anonymous40 ,the last three stanzas are in ,martineau's ,hymns and in many other collections4 ,he also wrote a hymn beginning #i4 ,lo6 another offering1 ,to ,thy courts this day we bring1 for his own ordination at ,west ,cambridge in #ahbi1 which was also used at the ordination of ,f4 ,a4 ,whitney1 at ,brighton1 ,massachusetts1 on ,february #bd1 #ahdd1 but which passed into no collections4 ,all these hymns1 and two other religious poems1 are included in ,putnam's ,singers and ,songs of the ,liberal ,faith4 ,most of them had gone out of use by the end of the #aith century1 but nos4 #a1 #f and #h 7beginning ,it is finished1 ,man of sorrows17 are in ,the ,new ,hymn and ,tune ,book1 #aiad1 and in ,hymns of the ,spirit1 #aicg4 ,by far the best known of ,hedge's hymns is his fine and accurate translation of ,luther's great chorale ,ein' feste ,burg 7no4 #a74 ,this is the version accepted by almost all the ,protestant denominations in this country1 whereas in ,great ,britain ,thomas ,carlyle's earlier translation 7#ahca7 is generally used1 although ,james ,martineau included ,hedge's version in his ,hymns of ,praise and ,prayer1 #ahgc1 mistakenly attributing it to ,samuel ,longfellow4 ,putnam1 op4 cit41 #bad1 says that it was first printed in ,w4 ,h4 ,furness's ,gems of ,german ,verse1 which appeared in ,philadelphia1 without date but undoubtedly in the latter part of #ahec1 a second edition following in #ahei4 ,that ,hedge should have sent his translation of the chorale to ,furness without delay was natural1 because the two men were close friends with a common interest in ,german literature1 and ,putnam was the younger contemporary of both1 in a position to know that ,furness's little book had appeared on the market a few days1 or weeks1 ahead of the collection of hymns which ,hedge and ,f4 ,d4 ,huntington were editing and which they published late in #ahec as ,hymns for the ,church of ,christ4 ,the earliest record of the hymn1 however1 is to be found in the autograph letter 7now in the ,harvard ,university ,library7 which ,hedge wrote to ,rev4 ,joseph ,h4 ,allen1 his successor in the pulpit at ,bangor1 ,maine1 asking him to recommend hymns for inclusion in the book on which he and ,huntington were working4 ,this letter is dated 8,providence1 ,march #bgth1 #ahec40 ,in the course of it ,hedge wrote1 8,i have made a new translation of ,luther's splendid psalm #8,eine feste ,burg ist unser ,gott' ,carlyle's translation not being available40 ,this statement is followed by the four stanzas of his translation4 ,that book contained no printed tunes1 only citing the metre at the head of each hymn as a guide to the organist1 but in his letter ,hedge goes on with the surprizing statement1 8,the original is much sung in ,germany and therefore ,i suppose that it will not be difficult to find a tune for it40 ,since he must have become familiar with both the words and the music of the famous chorale when he was a youthful student in ,germany this remark indicates that the tune was still unknown in ,america1 and that he took little interest in introducing it4 ,j4 #ejd1 #afdg ,revised by ,h4,w4,f4 ,higginson1 ,thomas ,wentworth1

accepted as authoritative as to the date and occasion for each hymn listed1 but ,canon ,julian presumably added the descriptive notations in brackets1 and fell into minor inaccuracies1 as when he wrote ,unity ,hymns and ,carols for ,unity ,hymns and ,chorals 7cf4 nos4 #c and #bb71 and cited the periodical ,unity1 published in ,chicago1 as ,chicago ,unity4 ,by way of further clarification it should be noted that the opening line of no4 #ab1 ,o beautiful my country1 was taken from ,j4 ,r4 ,lowell's great ,commemoration ,ode1 and that ,hosmer always wanted it printed #8,o ,beautiful my ,country'1 in recognition of its source4 ,no4 #ah was written for the observance by the ,western ,unitarian ,conference of the fiftieth anniversary of ,emerson's famous ,divinity ,school ,address4 ,the person initialed as 8,t4,k40 for whom no4 #bj was written on ,february #f1 #ahia1 probably was ,thomas ,kilpatrick1 a layman who did much to make possible the erection of the church in ,omaha1 which was not dedicated until ,december #ae of that year4 ,the person initialled 8,c4,w4,w401 for whom no4 #bg was written1 was ,rev4 ,charles ,w4 ,wendte1 then minister of the ,first ,unitarian ,church in ,oakland1 ,california4 ,julian's account of ,hosmer's contribution to hymnody1 though no doubt as satisfactory as could be expected at the time it was written1 is incomplete in two respects4 ,the latest hymn listed is dated #ahii1 yet at least three earlier hymns by ,hosmer are unaccountably missing1 7viz1 nos4 #cb1 #cc1 #da1 noted below71 presumably because he neglected to send ,julian any information about them4 ,more important than these are several later occasional hymns which he wrote in the last three decades of his life1 too late for any inclusion in ,julian's ,dictionary1 and which form a notable addition to the earlier list4 ,some of them were included in the revised edition of ,unity ,hymns and ,chorals1 #aiaa1 and all of them in ,the ,thought of ,god1

and which ceased to exist when he resigned4 ,he refused to identify himself with any denomination1 though in belief he was a ,unitarian and in the public mind was associated with the churches which adhered to the liberal wing of the ,congregational order4 ,he was author of a book on ,oriental ,religions1 one of the earliest ,american studies in the ,history of ,religions4 ,in #ahdf he and his classmate in the ,divinity ,school1 ,samuel ,longfellow1 q4v41 while still students1 prepared their ,book of ,hymns1 because they and some of their friends thought the ,unitarian hymn books then in use were too traditional4 ,this book appeared in enlarged edition in #ahdh1 and made a notable contribution to ,american hymnody in its freshness of outlook and its inclusion of hymns by hitherto unrecognized writers1 notably ,john ,greenleaf ,whittier4 ,johnson contributed #g hymns to the edition of #ahdf1 viz3 #a4 ,father ,savior in ,thy mysterious presence kneeling 7,worship7 #b4 ,go1

finest examples of ,american hymnody in their lyrical quality and depth of religious feeling4 ,a few of ,johnson's hymns have found acceptance also in ,england1 the most notable example being ,no4 #g1 sung at the consecration of the new ,anglican cathedral at ,liverpool in #aibd1 an occasion which the words fitted to perfection4 ,but1 since even the existence of the obscure minister in ,lynn1 ,massachusetts1 was quite unknown to all but very few of those present1 the ,samuel ,johnson to whom it was attributed was commonly supposed to be the famous #ahth century ,english lexicographer1 and the hymn is mistakenly assigned to him in the latest edition of ,bartlett's ,familiar ,quotations6 ,following its use at ,liverpool it was sung in ,westminster ,abbey at a service for the ,league of ,nations in #aice2 at the jubilee service for the #beth anniversary of the coronation of ,george ,v2 and was one of seven hymns included in the special service prepared by the ,archbishops of ,canterbury and ,york for use in parish churches throughout ,england at the time of the coronation of ,george ,,vi4 ,probably no other hymn of ,american authorship is so widely known or used in

#c1 #ahib1 ,portland1 was the youngest of the eight children of ,stephen and ,zilpah 7,wadsworth7 ,longfellow4 ,stephen ,longfellow had graduated from ,harvard and had become one of the most prominent citizens of ,portland4 ,his son ,samuel entered ,harvard with the ,class of #ahci1 just after his brother1 ,henry ,wadsworth ,longfellow1 more than twelve years his senior1 had returned from ,europe to begin his professorship at ,harvard4 ,samuel entered the ,harvard ,divinity ,school1 from which he graduated in #ahdf1 and served as minister of the ,unitarian ,church in ,fall ,river1 ,massachusetts1 #ahdh-ea2 the ,second ,unitarian ,church1 ,brooklyn1 ,new ,york1 #ahec-ahfj2 and the ,unitarian ,church1 ,germantown1 ,pennsylvania1 #ahgh-ahhc4 ,in the intervals between these pastorates he did much occasional preaching1 and1 having independent means and no marital ties1 made several prolonged visits to ,europe4 ,he had an attractive personality1 was witty and highly intelligent1 and was an acceptable though outspoken preacher1 but he is now remembered for his contribution to ,american hymnody through the hymns which he wrote and the books which he edited4 ,his accomplishment in this field was greater and more lasting than that of any other ,american in the middle period of the #aith century4 ,its development can best be traced in the books which he published4 ,the first of these was ,a ,book of ,hymns for ,public and ,private ,devotions1 which he and his classmate in the ,divinity ,school1 ,samuel ,johnson1 daringly compiled while still students in the ,school4 ,a not improbable story of the origin of the book reports that their friend1 ,rev4 ,francis ,parker ,appleton1 then a young minister at ,peabody1 ,massachusetts1 had complained to them about the antiquated hymn-book which he found in use in his church1 to which they replied that they would prepare a book for him which would express the religious aspirations of the rising generation4 ,the book appeared in #ahdf1 before either of the young editors had been ordained1 and was an immediate success4 ,it was first used in the ,first ,unitarian ,church at ,worcester1 ,massachusetts1 where ,longfellow's classmate and lifelong friend1 ,edward ,everett ,hale1 had just been ordained at a service for which ,longfellow wrote the ordination hymn1 and it was promptly adopted by ,theodore ,parker for his congregation in ,music ,hall4 ,the book was re-published in somewhat revised and enlarged form in #ahdh1 and ran to #ab editions4 ,it marked a new epoch in ,american hymnody because it was the product of young and adventurous but well-trained minds seeking to give utterance to the emotions stirred by the intellectual and political ferment of the times1 and because of the new sources to which they turned4 ,they were the first to see and make use of the hymnic possibilities of the poems of ,john ,greenleaf ,whittier1 and to include in an ,american hymn-book ,newman's 8,lead1 kindly ,light10 which they had found printed in a newspaper without the author's name1 though they altered the first line to read 8,send kindly ,light10 and another line further down4 ,from their book it passed into other collections1 with variant readings4 ,in #ahei ,longfellow published a little collection entitled ,vespers1 hymns for use at the vesper services which he had instituted in his church in ,brooklyn4 ,in #ahfj he published ,a ,book of ,hymns and ,tunes for the ,sunday ,school1 the ,congregation1 and the ,home1 and in #ahfd he and ,samuel ,johnson brought out their second notable book1 ,hymns of the ,spirit1 7not to be confused with the hymn book with the same title published by the ,beacon ,press in #aicg74 ,this book contained most of the later hymns written by the two editors1 and a good many new hymns by other authors who were glad to contribute them4 ,its literary level was higher than that of their first book1 but it had less popular success1 in part1 perhaps1 because they failed to set the words to tunes1 which had become the common practice in the period since their earlier book appeared4 ,in #ahgf he brought out ,a ,book of ,hymns ,tunes for the ,congregation the ,home1 a revision of his earlier book with a similar title1 in which several of his earlier hymns appear in revised form4 ,in #ahhg he printed privately ,a ,few ,verses of ,many ,years4 ,after his death a small volume entitled ,hymns and ,verses by ,samuel ,longfellow was published in #ahid with a very brief introductory note by his niece1 ,miss ,alice ,m4 ,longfellow4 ,it included #da hymns which she thought were his1 followed by #cj short poems of no outstanding excellence4 ,some of the 8hymns0 included seem never to have come into use as such2 some of her attributions were mistaken2 she omitted some hymns which he wrote or adapted but cited in his books as 8,anonymous0 because based on the work of others2 and she did not always print the best of extant variant readings4 ,this book1 therefore1 must be used with caution in compiling the list of ,longfellow's hymns1 whether original or adapted4 ,before listing his hymns it should be noted that he wrote or edited several other literary works4 ,in #ahec he and his classmate ,thomas ,wentworth ,higginson published a beautiful collection of sea-poems entitled ,thalatta4 ,he wrote a memoir of his friend1 ,rev4 ,samuel ,johnson1 #ahhc2 was the author of a ,life of ,henry ,wadsworth ,longfellow1 #ahhf2 and edited ,final ,memorials of ,henry ,wadsworth ,longfellow in #ahhg4 ,a volume of his own ,essays

changed the metre from #h4f4h4f4 double to six line stanzas1 #h4f4h4f4h4h41 thus making sure that his words would be sung to another tune than the 8,neapolitan melody40 #ae4 ,in the beginning was the

#d l4 ,there are also five hymns1 composite in origin and listed as 8,anonymous0 in ,hys4 ,sp4 #ahfd1 which in style and sentiment so closely resemble ,s4,l4's writings as to suggest that he gave them the form in which they are there printed1 viz3-- #dg4 ,as darker1 darker fall around ,the shadows of the night4 ,this is printed in #f stas41 the first four of which are taken from 8,the ,hymn of the

theme was obviously suggested by ,ray ,palmer's five stanza translation of the #abth century ,latin hymn ,veni ,sancte ,spiritus1 beginning ,come1 ,holy ,ghost1 in love1 published in #aheh1 from which three lines are borrowed intact1 with as many more which only slightly alter ,palmer's words4 ,since the religious outlook expressed is characteristic of ,samuel ,longfellow1 and the hymn first appeared in ,hymns of the ,spirit1 it seems certain that he was the author but listed it as ,anon1 because of its composite form4 ,it was included in several later ,unitarian hymn books1 most recently in ,the ,new ,hymn and ,tune ,book1 #aiad1 and in ,hymns of the ,spirit1 #aicg4 7,j4 #afbc ,h4,w4,f47 #di4 ,give forth thine earnest cry4 ,printed in three #d-line stas4 ,there is no evidence as to the authorship of this hymn1 but its sentiment is completely in line with ,longfellow's4 ,included in ,hymns of the ,spirit1 #ahfd1 and in ,the ,new ,hymn and ,tune ,book1 #aiad4 #ej4 ,god is in his holy temple4 ,printed in four #d-line stas4 ,one line is almost identical with one found in ,s4,l4's earlier hymn 8,written for the dedication of the ,new ,chapel of the ,first ,parish1 ,haverhill1 ,mass401 which had had no use beyond the occasion for which it was written1 but which ,miss ,longfellow included in ,hymns and ,verses4 ,the recurrence of this line in the hymn here listed suggests the probability that the whole hymn is by ,s4,l4 though he preferred to cite it as 8,anon40 #ea4 ,supreme disposer of the heart4 ,this appeared in the #ahdh edition of the ,book of ,hymns1 where it is cited as from 8,breviary01 and was included by ,miss ,longfellow in ,hymns and ,verses with the same citation4 ,she probably assumed that it was a translation by ,s4,l4 from a ,latin hymn4 ,it is1 however1 a largely rewritten version of ,john ,chandler's translation of the hymn ,supreme motor cordium1 in his ,hymns of the ,primitive ,church1 #ahcg1 p4 #ca4 ,longfellow retained the general pattern of ,chandler's five stanzas1 and kept a few of his lines unchanged1 or altered by only a word or two1 but rewrote the rest1 the fourth and fifth stas4 being wholly ,s4,l4's1 differing from ,chandler's in both phrase and significance1 and even further from the ,latin original4 ,the ,isles of ,shoals ,hymn ,book1 #aijh1 contains a hymn in two stanzas1 #h4f4h4f4;,d41 beginning #eb4 ,the

based on a ,german hymn by ,c4 ,j4 ,p4 ,spitta4 ,it is possible that this is the case but the original by ,spitta has not been traced and ,longfellow did not claim this arrangement4 ,h4,w4,f4 ,loring1

,shall come the time foretold ,these alterations may have brought the hymn into closer accord with orthodox theology1 but at the expense of some of its poetic beauty4 ,two patriotic songs by ,sears were included in the army hymn book1 ,the ,soldier's ,companion1 #ahfa4 ,one headed 8,a ,psalm of ,freedom0 begins1 ,still wave our streamer's glorious folds1 ,the other is headed 8,song of the ,stars
