368 In Pleasant Lands Have Fall’n the Lines
James Flint, 1779-1855
A fine memorial hymn.
The author, James Flint, was born in Reading, Mass. After graduating from Harvard, he served as pastor of the Unitarian Church at East Bridgewater, Mass., 1806-1821, and at the East Church, Salem, Mass., from 1821 until his death in 1855. His hymns were published in his Collection of Hymns for the Christian Church and Home, 1840, the present being the single one which survives today.
