which first appeared in his _Collection_, from which it passed to a number of later ones. It is an adaptation for congregational use of Thomson’s “Hymn on the Seasons.” See Putnam, _Singers and Songs of the Liberal Faith_. J. 389 Revised by H.W.F. Frothingham, Rev. Nathaniel Langdon, D.D., Boston, July 23, 1793—April 4, 1870, Boston. He graduated from Harvard in 1811, and after a brief period of further study and as tutor in the College, he entered the Unitarian ministry and in 1815 was settled as minister of the First Church in Boston, where he served until 1850, when ill-health and approaching blindness caused his resignation. He was one of the most distinguished Boston ministers of his period, and the author of a good deal of verse, published in his _Metrical Pieces, Translated and Original_, 1855, and in a second volume with the same title in 1870. In 1828 he wrote his finest hymn, 1. _O God, whose presence glows in all_ for the ordination of his friend, W. P. Lunt, _q.v._, as minister of the Second Unitarian Congregational Church, New York, on June 19, of that year. In 1835 he wrote 2. _We meditate the day_ for the installation of Mr. Lunt as Co-pastor with Rev. Peter Whitney of the First Church at Quincy, Massachusetts, and in 1839 he wrote 3. _O Lord of life and truth and grace_, for the ordination of Henry Whitney Bellows in New York. His later hymns were 4. _O Saviour, whose immortal word_, “Written for the Dedication of the Church of the Saviour, Boston, November 16, 1847.”; 5. _Remember me, the Saviour said_, (Communion Service) 6. _The Lord gave the word,_ _’Twas the word of his truth._ 7. _The patriarch’s dove, on weary wing_, 8. _They passed away from sight_, (Death and Burial) 9. _When I am weak, I’m strong_ (Spiritual Strength) Of these hymns the first two were included in Lunt’s _Christian Psalter_, 1841; nos. 1, 2, 6 and 7 were included in Hedge and Huntington’s _Hymns for the Church of Christ_ (1853); and all but no. 8 are included in the author’s _Metrical Pieces_, 1855. No. 5 had considerable use in the 19^th century, but no. 1 alone survives in 20^th century Unitarian collections. J. 400, 1564 Revised H.W.F. Frothingham, Rev. Octavius Brooks, son of Rev. Nathaniel Langdon Frothingham, D.D., _q.v._, Boston, November 26, 1822—November 27, 1895, Boston. He graduated from Harvard College in 1843, and in 1846 from the Harvard Divinity School, where, for the graduating exercises of his class, he wrote his fine, and only, hymn, _Thou Lord of Hosts, whose guiding hand_, (Soldiers of the Cross)
