_MUSIC._ SO LANGE JESUS BLEIBT DER HERR is a familiar melody, of unknown origin, from the _Gesangbuch mit Noten_. 302. I’m not ashamed to own my Lord _Isaac Watts_, 1674-1748 This hymn is based on II Timothy 1:8-12. James Moffatt writes that when Henry Drummond was on his death bed, Nov. 7, 1897, his friend, Dr. Hugh Barbour, played several hymn tunes to him without gaining any response. Then he tried the Old Scots melody of “Martyrdom” to which Drummond beat time with his hand and joined in the words, “I’m not ashamed to own my Lord.” When the hymn was done, he said, “There’s nothing to beat that, Hugh.” For comments on Isaac Watts see Hymn 11. _MUSIC._ DEDHAM. The tune is attributed to William Gardiner, 1770-1853, an Englishman of whom nothing much of importance is known except that he published _Sacred Melodies_ in 1812, a collection of excellent tunes, which was expanded to six volumes published in 1815. THE LORD’S SUPPER 303. Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face _Horatius Bonar_, 1808-89 Entitled by the author, “This Do in Remembrance of Me.” It is a famous communion hymn, emphasizing, in keeping with the Reformed tradition, the thought that Christ Himself presides at His Table. All His followers are therefore welcome. Three members of the Bonar family became eminent ministers in the Free Church of Scotland (Presbyterian)—Andrew in Glasgow; John in Greenock; and Horatius in Edinburgh. Horatius was accustomed to visit his brother John once a year at the communion service. Hymns were still not permitted to be sung in the church, but an original poem was invariably read after the communion. This hymn was written by Horatius Bonar at the request of his brother John for the occasion of such a visit in October, 1855. It has become a widely used communion hymn in all churches. For further comments on Horatius Bonar see Hymn 129. _MUSIC._ LANGRAN, known in England as “St. Agnes,” is named after the composer, James Langran, 1835-1909, London organist and composer, who wrote this music for “Abide with me” (40). It was published separately in 1861 and two years later appeared in _Psalms and Hymns adapted to the services of the Church of England, with accompanying tunes selected and revised by John Foster_. The hymn is also sung to “Ellers” (See 43 or 286). 304. Bread of the world, in mercy broken _Reginald Heber_, 1783-1826 “A quiet communion hymn full of loveliness and warm reality of faith.”—Reeves. This popular communion hymn by Bishop Heber was published posthumously with the title, “Before the Sacrifice.” For comments on Reginald Heber see Hymn 1.
