... George Duffield Detroit, May 29, 1883. George Duffield, Jr., 1818-88, son of Rev. George Duffield, was educated at Yale and Union Theological Seminary for the Presbyterian ministry and held pastorates in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Galesburg, Ill., Adrian and Lansing, Michigan. His son, Samuel W. Duffield, was the author of _English Hymns_. _MUSIC._ WEBB. For comments on this tune see Hymn 65. 194. God’s trumpet wakes the slumb’ring world _Samuel Longfellow_, 1819-92 A stirring call to a loyal stand for truth and witness against wrong. The hymn first appeared in _Hymns of the Spirit_, 1864. For comments on Samuel Longfellow see Hymn 28. _MUSIC._ ALL SAINTS NEW was written for Bishop Heber’s hymn, “The Son of God goes forth to war.” The composer, Henry Stephen Cutler, 1824-1902, received his education at Boston, his birthplace, and in Europe. He became a well-known organist and choir master, serving churches in Boston, New York, and other cities, and attracted attention by robing his choir members and seating them in the chancel, innovations in his day. TRIALS AND TEMPTATIONS 195. In the hour of trial _James Montgomery_, 1771-1854 _Alt. Frances A. Hutton and Godfrey Thring_ The hymn is based on Luke 22:32: “I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not.” It was written October 13, 1834, with the title, “In trial and temptation,” and published in 1853 in Montgomery’s _Original Hymns_ under the title “Prayers on Pilgrimage.” The third and fourth stanzas have been altered considerably, not entirely for the better. Montgomery began the second stanza: With its witching pleasures. In the first stanza he had Jesus _pray_ for me; to which there was much objection on scriptural grounds, in spite of the words of Christ, “I pray for them” (John 17:9). For comments on James Montgomery see Hymn 62. _MUSIC._ PENITENCE was composed by Spencer Lane, 1843-1903, who received musical training in the Boston Conservatory of Music and became a teacher of vocal and instrumental music. He was in charge of music in various churches in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Maryland. While choirmaster at St. James Church, Woonsocket, R. I., he wrote this tune one Sunday while his wife was preparing dinner. It was used at a parish choir festival on “Easter Tuesday, 1899, at 7:30 p.m.” and at the suggestion of the rector of the church, it was sent to Dr. Chas. L. Hutchins, who included it in the _Episcopal Hymnal_ of 1879. Of the various tunes composed by Lane, this is the only one in general use today. 196. Lord Jesus, think on me _Synesius_, _c._ 375-430 _Tr. Allen W. Chatfield_, 1808-96 A subjective and meditative hymn of trust, coming to us from the ancient Eastern Church.
