In Hys. Sp., 1864, with title “Looking Unto God,” and listed as “Anon.”, but included in H. & V. as Longfellow’s. He had not claimed it because its opening stanza was strongly reminiscent of a love-song by Thomas Haynes Bayly, as indicated by S.L.’s pencilled notation in his copy of Hys. Sp. now in the library of Union Theological Seminary, New York, reading “V. 1, T. H. Bayley, alt.” Bayly (not Baylēy) (1797-1839) was an English composer of popular sentimental songs one of which began, I turn to thee in time of need And never turn in vain; I see thy fond and fearless smile And hope revives again. It gives me strength to struggle on, Whate’er the strife may be; And if again my courage fail Again I turn to thee. This song, though one of Bayly’s best, is not included in his collected works, but a copy, with his name as its author, is in the Harvard University Library. It was published by C. Bradlee, 107 Washington St., Boston, n.d., the words set “to a favorite Neapolitan melody”, and must have still been well remembered when S.L. was inspired to transfigure the thought of its opening stanza by giving it a profoundly spiritual interpretation. He made no use of Bayly’s second and third stanzas, and changed the metre from 8.6.8.6. double to six line stanzas, 8.6.8.6.8.8., thus making sure that his words would be sung to another tune than the “Neapolitan melody.” 15. _In the beginning was the word._ (The Word of God) This was printed in _The Liberty Bell_, Boston, 1851, in 6 stanzas of 8 lines, and dated “Fall River, Sept. 1850.” Two stanzas are included in Hys. Sp. 1864; also in H. & V., undated. 16. _Life of all that lives below._ An adaptation from Charles Wesley; not in Bk. Hys. or Hys. Sp. 17. _Life of God, within my soul._ (God in the soul) Only found in H. & V., undated, entitled “A Prayer.” 4 stas. of 4 l. 18. _Light of ages and of nations._ (Inspiration) Dated 1860 in H. & V. in which it begins as above with title “In all ages entering holy souls.” It was first printed, however, in Hys. Sp. 1864 as “God of ages,” under title “The word of the Lord abideth forever.” 3 stas. of 8 l. 19. _Lo! the earth is risen again._ (Easter) In H. & V. the first line reads “Lo the earth again is risen,” with no date, but Dr. Louis F. Benson owned a copy of the book in which a ms. note was appended to this hymn reading “In memory of C.J. July 6, 1864 May 12, 1886. Written for the first anniversary of her death, May 12, 1887.” Several other lines besides the opening one have been re-written, presumably by S.L., to make the later and improved version of the hymn included in _Hymns of the Spirit_, 1937.
