Lamb, Frank M. (Poland, Maine, January 30, 1858--December 24, 1945, Bath, Maine). Baptist. Studied voice in Boston, 1877-1880. Entered evangelism. Led singing in evangelistic services With Rev. C.C.

After serving as assistant pastor in Lowell, Mass., he was ordained at Mount Vernon, N.Y., Maine, and Massachusetts before retiring in 1937, after serving the Baptist church at Mechanic Falls for 13 years.

He composed several hymns. His earliest was "What is Thy Life?" suggested by James 4:14. Probably his best loved was "The Bird with the Broken Wing." Other hymns include "Is My Name There," "All, All for Me," "Glad Was My Soul When the Rest Was Given."

He compiled Hymns of Faith and Love in Gospel Meetings (1894). Another Baptist hymn writer, C.C. Luther, published in 1887 a pamphlet Beautiful Beckoning Hands and included his own hymns and added other hymns, mostly by Lamb.
