HOME OF THE SOUL Words by Ellen Huntington Gates Music by Philip Phillips
Q n e day in 1865 Phillips was reading the story in Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress of the entrance of Christian §nd Hopeful into the beautiful City. It occurred to him that the story would make the basis of a splendid gospel song; accordingly, he sent such a request to his friend, Mrs. Ellen Huntington Gates, a noted poet. She complied. “When the verses were forwarded to me,” he wrote, “ I seated myself in my home with my little boy on my knee . . . and began to read the clos ing scenes where Christian and Hope ful entered into the City . . . wishing myself among them. At this moment of inspiration I turned to my organ with pencil in hand and wrote the tune. . . . It was later sung at the funeral of my own dear boy who had sat on my knee as I wrote the tune.” The author was bom in Torring- ton, Conn., in 1835 and died in New York City, October 23, 1920. Philip Phillips was bom August 13, 1834 on a farm near Jamestown, N.Y. He first sang in public at the age of five, became a music teacher at 19, and at the age of 21 became an itinerant music peddler, going from house to house playing his melodeon and endeavoring to sell his self-pub lished songs. His publishing activities assumed large proportions. He was once invited to sing before the United States Senate. President Lincoln enjoyed his singing to such an extent that the great Emancipator asked for a repetition. Encouraged, Phillips decided to devote his full time to gospel singing. He literally sang the gospel around the world and became known as the “ Singing Pil grim.” He was one of the first men to popularize gospel solo singing. W h e n he d i e d (Delaware, Ohio, June 25, 1895) Ira D. Sankey sang “Home Of the Soul” at his funeral.
