A really great hymn was written by
Thomas divers, an Englishman, and pub
lished about the year ITO. He called 1t
"A Hymn to the God Of Abraham" Poets
and scholars has been lavish in their
praise of this ode. 1t is thought to have
received moro kindly criticism than any
hymn ever written. Montgomery, the
poet says, "There is not in our language
lyric of more majestic STYLE more ele-
waited thought, or more glorious imagery"
A critic has said. "This Is probably the
finest ode In the English language"
