366. Uplift the song of praise _Frederick L. Hosmer,_ 1840-1929 A hymn of praise for God’s leading of our forefathers. The author traced his own descent from the Pilgrim Fathers, one of his ancestors, James Hosmer, having come to Concord in 1635. In writing the hymn, he had the Pilgrims in mind, but his words are fully as applicable to other immigrant groups such as the Mennonites who came at different times from Europe to settle here in “lands untrod.” For comments on Frederick L. Hosmer see Hymn 72. _MUSIC,_ LEONI (Yigdal). For comments on this tune see Hymn 14. 367. O God, beneath Thy guiding hand _Leonard Bacon_, 1802-81 Written for the 200th anniversary of the founding of New Haven, Conn., celebrated April 25, 1833, in Center Church where the author was pastor. Dr. Bacon delivered the main historical address on this occasion and used the theme of the sermon for the basis of this hymn. Leonard Bacon, son of missionaries to the Indians at the then frontier trading post of Detroit, graduated from Yale and Andover Theological Seminary. He was minister of the Center Congregational Church, New Haven, for the forty-one years from 1825 to 1866 and professor and lecturer at Yale Divinity School from 1866 till his death in 1881. Always interested in sacred music, he rendered a great service to the church by the hymns he wrote as well as his compilations of hymns. _MUSIC._ DUKE STREET. For comments on this tune see Hymn 341. 368. In pleasant lands have fall’n the lines _James Flint_, 1779-1855 A fine memorial hymn. The author, James Flint, was born in Reading, Mass. After graduating from Harvard, he served as pastor of the Unitarian Church at East Bridgewater, Mass., 1806-1821, and at the East Church, Salem, Mass., from 1821 until his death in 1855. His hymns were published in his _Collection of Hymns for the Christian Church and Home_, 1840, the present being the single one which survives today. _MUSIC._ WAREHAM. For comments on this tune see Hymn 208. 369. Eternal One, Thou living God _Samuel Longfellow_, 1819-92 A hymn of the Church Universal, the great company of faithful souls of every age and land. The God who led our fathers, still leads His people into new truth and sets before them new goals. For comments on Samuel Longfellow see Hymn 28. _MUSIC._ WINCHESTER NEW. This tune is also used extensively with Milman’s hymn, “Ride on! Ride on in majesty” (101). It was set to the hymn, “_Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten_,” in the _Musikalisches Handbuch_, printed in Hamburg, 1690. The earlier history of the tune is obscure, and its composer is unknown. It appeared in various collections under the name “Frankfurt” and “Crasselius.” In a volume published in Glasgow, 1762, entitled, _The Psalm-Singer’s Delightful Pocket Companion_, it was used in long meter and named “Winchester.” It should not be confused with “Winchester Old” (191).
