No information has come to light concerning the composer, J. S. Norris. 501. And must I be to judgment brought _Charles Wesley_, 1707-88 The hymn, originally in eight stanzas, was entitled “A Thought on Judgment” and was written for children! Why Wesley wrote such serious-minded hymns for children is explained in his preface to _Hymns for Children_, from which this hymn is taken: There are two ways of writing or speaking to children. The one is to let ourselves down to them; the other, to lift them up to us. Dr. Watts wrote in the former way, and has succeeded admirably well, speaking to children as children and leaving them as he found them. The following hymns are written on the other plan. They contain strong and manly sense, yet expressed in such plain and easy language as even children may understand. But when they do understand them, they will be children no longer—only in years and in stature. For comments on Charles Wesley, see Hymn 6. _MUSIC._ MARLOW was composed by Rev. John Chetham, 1700-63, an English clergyman, curate of Skipton. 502. Savior, lead me lest I stray _Frank M.
