From Every Stormy Wind That Blows

[This hymn] has been sung through the decades by Christian people amidst varying degrees of trial and difficulty,… but never has it been sung with more dramatic meaning than when in 1857 the eight American missionaries, the Rev. Albert Johnson, John E. Freeman, David E. Campbell, John McMullen and their wives sung in Cawnpore, India, just before they and the two Campbell children suffered the death of Christian martyrs by order of the blood-thirsty Nana Sahib.

Stowell's son once wrote that his father's death illustrated Montgomery's lines,

His watchword at the gates of death
He enters heaven by prayer.

"My father's last utterances," he added, "abundantly showed his love of and delight in prayer. Almost every word was prayer…The morning of his death the only articulate words that we could catch, uttered two or three hours before his decease, were 'Amen! Amen!'"
