Jenner, Henry, son of H. L. Jenner, D.D., sometime Bishop of Dunedin, born in 1848, is the author of one hymn only, “Jesus, Thou hast willed it," which was written in 1870 for the anniversary of the Society for Promoting the Unity of Christendom, and was first sung in procession at St. Michael's, Shoreditch, on “the Octave of Our Lady St. Mary," 1870, to a tune by his father. It is in the Scotch Ch. Hymnary, 1898. [Rev. John Brownlie]
