(Excerpt from Life-Time Hymns: A Collection of Old and New...)
Excerpt from Life-Time Hymns: A Collection of Old and New Hymns of the Christian Church; For the Use in Churches, Sunday-Schools, Prayer Meetings and Social Gatherings A book worthy of such a title ought to be rich in hymns and in music. A There is not a hymn in this book that is not worthy to live in our memories for a life time. There are some hymns that go with us from childhood to manhood and womanhood, and are still with us when we reach the gates of heaven. They never lose their power over us and their charm is never broken. Other hymns come and go, but these abide. Such hymns have been gathered from all possible sources for the enrichment of these pages. The music is of a high order. Much of it is classical. Many of the best pieces have been thoroughly tested by trained choirs and large congregations. There is need of a book which will aid in elevating the poetical and musical taste of the people. Life-time-hymns will contribute largely to this desired result. Acknowledgments are hereby gratefully extended to the composers, writers and publishers who have permitted us to use their valuable copy rights. For Sabbath-schools, social meetings, and great out-door assemblies, we believe-life-time-hymns is without a peer.

Horatio Richmond Palmer was born on April 26, 1834 in Sherburne, New York, United States. He was the son of Anson B. Palmer and Abbey Maria Knapp. His mother died before he was three years old and he was thrown upon his own resources at an early age. At seven he was singing alto in the church choir which his father led.
Horatio Richmond Palmer was educated at Rushford (New York) Academy, where after his graduation he taught for two years, and then became the director of music there. He was awarded the degree of Doctor of Music by the University of Chicago in 1880, and by Alfred University in 1881.
In Rushford Horatio Richmond Palmer directed the choir and organized a cornet band. His first singing school in a neighboring town was so successful that requests came to him from many places to teach singing classes. He then removed to Chicago where he became choir master in the Second Baptist Church and also published a monthly magazine, Concordia. He soon began to write music books for his classes and for the conventions which were popular before the days of the modern singing school.
He returned to New York in 1873 and in 1881 organized the Church Choral Union. From a membership of two hundred and fifty the first season it increased to forty-two hundred the third, and continued to grow until it had enrolled some twenty thousand singers. At one of his concerts, given in Madison Square Garden, there were nearly four thousand in the choir. Like the singing schools in the country, and the conventions in the larger towns, the idea of the Choral Union became popular and Palmer was called upon to organize similar groups in Brooklyn, Buffalo, Philadelphia, and Washington. A little later the establishment of the Chautauqua Movement offered an opportunity to develop the idea of a few weeks of intensive training in music, and in 1877 the Summer School of Music at Chautauqua was founded, and Palmer served as its dean for fourteen years.
For seventeen successive years he conducted a musical festival at Courtland, New York, and for eleven years he was choir master of the Broome Street tabernacle in New York City. Palmer's contributions to church music were extensive. Perhaps his most popular tunes were those written for "Just for Today" and "Yield Not to Temptation. " The latter, for which he wrote both the words and the music, appeared in The Song King (1872) under the title "Looking to Jesus. " "Just for Today, " copyrighted 1887, appeared in his Book of Gems for the Sunday School (1887) under the name Oraz.
While he was on one of his visits to Palestine he wrote both words and music of "Galilee, blue Galilee. " His "Master, the Tempest Is Raging, " is also reminiscent of the Holy Land. He gave frequent lectures on astronomy, talks on his visits to the Holy Land and the Orient, and after he had become converted to the Baconian origin of the works of Shakespeare, he prepared a lecture setting forth his views. His writings include The Song Queen (1867); The Elements of Musical Composition (1867); Palmer's Sabbath School Songs (1868), and others.
