"This hymn was written at the time of the author's Ordination as Deacon, in 1833. He chose for his first text 1 Cor. i. 23, ‘We preach Christ crucified,' the sermon and the hymn being composed for the same occasion. He has preached from the same text, and this hymn has generally been used on the return of that day, for more than fifty years." It was included in his Hymnal, 1855. 20.

In the night of Oct. 5, 1862, he dreamed that ho saw the choirs of heaven ten thousand times ten thousand, in white robes, marching into a glorious Temple singing this hymn. He awoke, rose from bed, procured a light, and wrote down the words on the back of a letter as he had heard them in his dream, and then retired to rest again. The next morning he found the hymn on his dressing table." It was given in his Supplement, 1863. 24. 0 Thou by Whom the healing art. (1863.) St. Luke. 25. Stephen, first of martyrs, we. (1863.)

In addition to these the Supplement of 1876 contained his "And now this Holy day," for Sunday. The majority of Prebendary Harland's hymns are for the minor festivals, and are worthy of more attention than they have received.
