MURILLO'S
LESSON. 11s.
"The
valleys
are
spread
forth
as
gardens
by
the
river's
side,
the
trees
the
Lord
hath
planted,
cedar
trees
beside
the
waters."

It
is
not
known
who
composed
the
music
of
the
above
tune.
Dr.
Dwight
is
credited
in
the
histories
with
having
composed
the
words
to
"Star
of
Columbia"
when
he
was
Surgeon
in
the
army
of
the
U.
S.
See
full
statement
in
relation
to
him
on
pages
198
and
189
of
this
volume.
It
is
not
known,
however,
whether
Dr
Dwight
composed
the
last
verse
in
the
hymn
under
"Star
of
Columbia
or
whether
he
changed
it
to
suit
that
particular
tune,
or
whether
the
person
who
composed
Murillo's
Lesson
changed
the
verses
to
suit
the
tune
or
not.
We
have
added
third
verse
of
Dwights'
hymn
to
Murillo's
Lesson,
the
last
line
of
which
has
been
disre-
garded
and
new
lines
inserted
by
J.
S.
James.

about
Murillo,
the
great
Spaish
artist
for
whom
it
is
believed
this
tune
was
named
in
honor
of,
on
page
188
and
189
of
the
Union
Harp,
and
history
of
songs
by
J.

James,
