Heath, Eliza. Her hymn, "Praise the Lord; sing 'Hallelujah'" [Easter], appeared in the Irvingite Hymns for the Use of the Churches, 1864 (dated in the Index of the 1871 ed., No. 159, as 1852), and passed from thence into the Church Hymnary (Scottish), 1898. We have no information regarding the authoress, except the notice in the Standard of Dec. 29, 1905: "On Dec. 27th, 1905, at No. 4, The Cloisters, Gordon Square, Eliza Heath, in her 76th year." [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]
