Samuel M. Miller, dean of the Lutheran Bible Institute, Minneapolis, Minn., is the writer of a number of spiritual songs and hymns that have become popular in Bible conference circles. Among his hymns are “In the holy Father’s keeping” and “When Jesus comes in glory.”
W. H. Lehmann, superintendent of home missions in the American Lutheran Church, has written “Take Thou my life, dear Lord,” and “Beneath Thy cross I stand,” the latter a passion hymn of rare beauty:
Beneath Thy cross I stand
And view Thy marrèd face;
O Son of man, must Thou thus die
To save a fallen race?
Alone Thou bear’st the wrath
That should on sinners fall,
While from Thy holy wounds forthflows
A stream of life for all.
