Elder Leland died in North Adams, Mass., Jan. 14, 1844. Another of his hymns, which deserved to live with his "Evening Song," seemed to be answered in the brightness of his death-bed hope: O when shall I see Jesus And reign with Him above, And from that flowing fountain Drink everlasting love? "AWAKE, MY SOUL, TO JOYFUL LAYS." This glad hymn of Samuel Medley is his thanksgiving song, written soon after his conversion. In the places of rural worship no lay of Christian praise and gratitude was ever more heartily sung than this at the testimony meetings. Awake, my soul, to joyful lays, And sing thy great Redeemer's praise; He justly claims a song from me: His loving-kindness, oh, how free! Loving-kindness, loving-kindness, His loving-kindness, oh, how free! _THE TUNE,_ With its queer curvet in every second line, had no other name than "Loving-Kindness," and was probably a camp-meeting melody in use for some time before its publication. It is found in _Leavitt's Christian Lyre_ as early as 1830. The name "William Caldwell" is all that is known of its composer, though he is supposed to have lived in Tennessee. "THE LORD INTO HIS GARDEN COMES." Was a common old-time piece sure to be heard at every religious rally, and every one present, saint and sinner, had it by heart, or at least the chorus of it-- Amen, amen, my soul replies, I'm bound to meet you in the skies, And claim my mansion there, etc. The anonymous[24] "Garden Hymn, as old, at least, as 1800," has nearly passed out of reach, except by the long arm of the antiquary; but it served its generation. [Footnote 24: A "Rev." Mr. Campbell, author of "The Glorious Light of Zion," "There is a Holy City," and "There is a Land of Pleasure," has been sometimes credited with the origin of the Garden Hymn.] Its vigorous tune is credited to Jeremiah Ingalls (1764-1838). The Lord into His garden comes; The spices yield a rich perfume, The lilies grow and thrive, The lilies grow and thrive. Refreshing showers of grace divine From Jesus flow to every vine, Which makes the dead revive, Which makes the dead revive. "THE CHARIOT! THE CHARIOT!" Henry Hart Milman, generally known as Dean Milman, was born in 1791, and was educated at Oxford. In 1821 he was installed as university professor of poetry at Oxford, and it was while filling this position that he wrote this celebrated hymn, under the title of "The Last Day." It is not only a hymn, but a poem--a sublime ode that recalls, in a different movement, the tones of the "Dies Irae." Dean Milman (of St Paul's), besides his many striking poems and learned historical works, wrote at least twelve hymns, among which are-- Ride on, ride on in majesty, O help us Lord; each hour of need Thy heavenly succor give, When our heads are bowed with woe,
