Rowland Hill, when very aged, preached for the Rev. George Clayton, of Walworth. The services exhausted him, and while going feebly down the aisle, after all the congregation had gone, Mr. Clayton heard him repeating softly to himself the hymn he most delighted in during his last years: —

"And when I'm to die, receive me I'll cry,

For Jesus has loved me, I cannot tell why;

But this I can find, we two are so joined,

That He'll not be in glory and leave me behind."To my heart, said Mr. Clayton, "this was a scene of unequalled solemnity; nor can I ever recur to it without a revival of that tender and hallowed sympathy which it originally awakened."
