Notes

What are these [those] soul-reviving strains? [Palm Sunday.] Traced to Pratt's Collection, 1829, but probably earlier. Sometimes attributed to J. Montgomery, but in error. It is in several modern collections, including Snepp's Songs of Grace & Glory, 1872.

--John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
