Sankey and Moody were en route from Glasgow to Edinburgh, Scotland, in May, 1874, as they were to hold a three-day campaign there.
Then, he found a little piece of poetry in a corner of one column that he liked, and he read it to Moody, but only received a polite reply.
At the noon day service of the second day of the special series, Moody preached on The Good Shepherd.
The inner voice continued to prod him, even though there was no music to the poem, so he acquiesced.
As calmly as if he had sung it a thousand times, he placed the little piece of newspaper on the organ in front of him.
Lifting up his heart in a brief prayer to Almighty God, he then laid his hands on the keyboard, striking a chord in A flat.
