This account of Hosmer’s hymns, copied verbatim from Julian’s _Dictionary_, may be accepted as authoritative as to the date and occasion for each hymn listed, but Canon Julian presumably added the descriptive notations in brackets, and fell into minor inaccuracies, as when he wrote _Unity Hymns and Carols_ for _Unity Hymns and Chorals_ (cf. nos. 3 and 22), and cited the periodical _Unity_, published in Chicago, as _Chicago Unity_. By way of further clarification it should be noted that the opening line of no. 12, _O beautiful my country_, was taken from J. R. Lowell’s great Commemoration Ode, and that Hosmer always wanted it printed ‘_O Beautiful my Country_’, in recognition of its source. No. 18 was written for the observance by the Western Unitarian Conference of the fiftieth anniversary of Emerson’s famous _Divinity School Address_. The person initialed as “T.K.” for whom no. 20 was written on February 6, 1891, probably was Thomas Kilpatrick, a layman who did much to make possible the erection of the church in Omaha, which was not dedicated until December 15 of that year. The person initialled “C.W.W.”, for whom no. 27 was written, was Rev. Charles W. Wendte, then minister of the First Unitarian Church in Oakland, California. Julian’s account of Hosmer’s contribution to hymnody, though no doubt as satisfactory as could be expected at the time it was written, is incomplete in two respects. The latest hymn listed is dated 1899, yet at least three earlier hymns by Hosmer are unaccountably missing, (viz, nos. 32, 33, 41, noted below), presumably because he neglected to send Julian any information about them. More important than these are several later occasional hymns which he wrote in the last three decades of his life, too late for any inclusion in Julian’s _Dictionary_, and which form a notable addition to the earlier list. Some of them were included in the revised edition of _Unity Hymns and Chorals_, 1911, and all of them in _The Thought of God_, 3^rd. Series, 1918, as follows: 28. _Across a century’s border line_, Written for the centennial commemoration of W. E. Channing’s famous “Baltimore Sermon” at the General Unitarian Conference, September 26, 1917. 29. _All hidden lie the future ways_, Written as a hymn at the christening of children. Not dated. 30. _Forward through the ages, in unbroken line_, A hymn of the church universal, written in 1908 for an Installation Service, set to Sullivan’s tune St. Gertrude. In some collections it has replaced Baring Gould’s _Onward, Christian Soldiers_. 31. _Hear, hear, O ye nations, and hearing obey_, (Reign of Peace) Written in 1909 and included in _New Hymn and Tune Book_, 1914, and, with one word altered in the last stanza, in _Hymns of the Spirit_, 1937. 32. _I came not hither of my will_, (Divine Providence) Written in 1883. 33. _Lo, the day of days is here_, (Easter) Written in 1890.
