239 lu a very old book of religious songs, now kept in the British Museum, it stands with this title — '^A Song, Made by F. B. P. , to the Tune of Diana. '' It has been conjectured — doubtfully by most, but confi- dently by some — that " F. B. P. '' is an alias for Francis Baker, Priest, who was for a long time con- fined as a prisoner in the Tower, and so that this is one of the many hymns which have come up out of the depth of sufi'ering and bitter wrong. A later and more beautiful form of th...is hymn — *' O mother dear, Jerusalem '' — was given to the public by David Dick- son, in the early part of the seventeenth century. The hymn, as it appears in our modern hymn- books, is considerably altered from the text as found in the book in the British Museum. It is called by Miller ^' the hymn of hymns, '' and certainly holds a very warm place in the hearts of Christian worship- ers in every communion. A young Scotchman, on his death-bed in the city of New Orleans several years ago, was visited by a Presbyterian minister.
