He met Palmer afterwards, and said to him: "Sir, you may live many years, and do many things, but you will be best known to posterity as the author of 'My faith looks up to Thee.'" The prediction proved true.

His devoted heart flowed out in that one matchless lily that has filled so many hearts and sanctuaries with its rich fragrance.

Dr.Palmer preached several times in my Brooklyn pulpit.

He was once with us on a sacramental Sabbath.

While the deacons were passing the sacred elements among the congregation the dear old man broke out in a tremulous voice and sang his own heavenly lines: "My faith looks up to Thee Thou Lamb of Calvary, Saviour Divine." It was like listening to a rehearsal for the celestial choir, and the whole assembly was most deeply moved.
