HOW 4 BEAUTIFUL HYMN WAS
WRITTEN.

One day Mr.. Wesley was sitting by
ali open window, looking out over the
bright and beautiful fields. Presently
little bird, fitting about in the sun
shine, attracted his attention. Just
then hawk came sweeping down to-
wards the little bird. The poor thing,
very much frightened, was darting
here and there, trying to find some
place of refuge. In the bright sunny
air, in the leafy trees of the green
fields, there was no hiding place from
the fierce grasp of the hawk. But
seeing an open window and a man sit
ting by it, the bird flew, in its extrem-
ity, towards it, and, with beating
heart and quivering wing found
refuge in Mr.. Wesley's bosom. He
sheltered it from the threatening dan
ger and saved it from cruel death.
Mr.. Wesley was at that time suffer
ing from severe trials, and was feeling
the need of refuge in his own time of
trouble, as much us did the trembling
little bird that nestled so safely in his
bosom. So he took up his pen and
wrote that sweet hVmn.
