Smith was a Boston-born Baptist minister, academic, and hymn writer who is best known for these very lyrics, written while he was a student at Andover Theological Seminary. Smith's powerful patriotic song, set to the same melody as the British national anthem ("God Save the Queen"), served as a de facto national anthem for much of the 19th century. Signed manuscript quotations of Smith's immortal lyrics are extremely desirable.
