C. A. Briggs

Briggs, C. A. A hymn beginning "God's law demands one living faith" is attributed to a person with this name in Hedge and Huntington's Hymns for the Church of Christ, (1853). It is probable, but not certain, that the author was Rev. Charles Briggs, Halifax, Massachusetts (January 17, 1791--December 1, 1873, Roxbury, Massachusetts). He graduated from Harvard College in 1815, and from Divinity School in 1818, was minister of the First Church in Lexington, Massachusetts, 1818-1834, and secretary of the American Unitarian Association, 1835-1848.
