For further comments on John Keble see Hymn 22. _MUSIC._ HURSLEY is a good tune but not as good as the original, “_Grosser Gott, wir loben Dich_” (No. 519), from which some unknown person adapted it. The melody and harmonization have been changed, not for the better, to suit the English words. “Hursley” was the name of the parish of which Keble was vicar, and the tune was doubtless given this name when it came to be associated with Keble’s hymn. 31. Day is dying in the west _Mary Lathbury_, 1841-1913 An evening hymn of high rank which has been used widely in American churches during the past half century. Mary A. Lathbury, daughter of a Methodist minister, was a successful art teacher but is remembered chiefly for her work with the Methodist Sunday School Union and her literary contributions to periodicals for young people. The “Look Up” Legion which she founded had for its motto, Edward Everett Hale’s four rules of good conduct: Look up, not down; Look forward, not back; Look out, not in, And lend a hand. Miss Lathbury wrote this hymn for use at the vesper services at Lake Chautauqua, in western New York, where hundreds of young people, eager to deepen their spiritual life, have met every year since 1873 for Bible study and prayer. This hymn and “Break Thou the Bread of Life” give the author a permanent place in American hymnody. _MUSIC._ CHAUTAUQUA was written especially for Miss Lathbury’s hymn. William F. Sherwin, 1826-88, studied music under Lowell Mason and later became a teacher of vocal music. He was unusually successful in leading choral groups and was appointed music director at Lake Chautauqua. The tune is dignified and stately, yet simple. The refrain should be sung softly at the beginning and rise gradually to a climax. 32. Darkening night the land doth cover _Anon. Greek_ _Tr. Robert Bridges_, 1844-1930 From an anonymous 8th-century or earlier Greek hymn. Some authorities believe it to be an expansion of the Greek candle lighting hymn (No. 34), also translated by Robert Bridges. The editors of the _Hymnary_, in search of a poem to fit the well-known UNTER LILIEN JENER FREUDEN tune in the _Gesangbuch mit Noten_, found for it this beautiful evening hymn published in the _American Oxford Hymnal_.
