After studying for some time in the Dublin Theological Institute, he entered the Congregational Ministry in 1840. In 1849 he became Pastor of the Congregational Church at Kingstown, near Dublin, and in 1863 began a series of services at Merrion Hall, Dublin, and subsequently at other places. His Evangelistic work in England and Ireland is well known. In connection therewith he has published a large number of tracts, pamphlets, and small books. One of these, Times of Refreshing illustrated in the Present Revival of Religion, 1860, included several of his hymns which were sung during that time at his special services at Kingstown. He also published Seven Hymns for the Present Time, circa 1870-6; and The New Times of Refreshing. Hymns for General and Special Use. Compiled by J. Denham Smith. London: J. E. Hawkins, n.d. In this collection his signed hymns are 36 in all, and deal with the subjects usually associated with what are known as "Gospel Hymns." There are several also in The Enlarged London Hymn Book, 1873. His hymn "Just as Thou art—how wondrous fair" (1860) is in Spurgeon's Our Own Hymn Book, 1866, and "Yes, we part, but not for ever "(Parting), in several minor collections. Mr. Smith's hymns have not been incorporated into the leading hymnals of Great Britain or America. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Jane Euphemia Saxby

1811 - 1898 Hymnal Number: d262 Author of "Zeig' mir den Weg, o Herr" in Evangeliums-Saenger Saxby, Jane Euphemia, née Browne, daughter of William Browne of Tallantire Hall, Cumberland, and sister of Lady Teignmouth, was born Jan. 27, 1811, and married, in 1862, to the Rev. S. H. Saxby, Vicar of East Clevedon, Somersetshire. Her work, The Dove on the Cross, was published in 1849. It has passed into numerous editions, and from it several hymns have come into common use. This was followed by The Voice of the Bird, in 1875; and Aunt Effie’s Gift to the Nursery, 1876. Sometimes Mrs. Saxby's Dove on the Cross is dated 1819, but in error. The compilation known as Hymns and Thoughts for the Sick and Lonely, by a Lady, London, J Nisbet & Co., 1848, although it contains several of her hymns in an altered form, is ascribed to her in error. Mrs. Saxby's hymns in common use include: 1. Father, into Thy loving hands. Resignation. 2. O Jesus Christ, the holy One. Holy Communion. 3. O Holy Ghost, the Comforter. Whitsuntide. 4. Shew me the way, O Lord. Guidance desired. 5. Thou art with me, O my Father. God everywhere. 6. Thou God of love, beneath Thy sheltering wings. Burial. Of these hymns, Nos. 1, 3, 4, and 6, appeared in her Dove on the Cross, 1849. No. 2 appeared in the English Presbyterian Psalms & Hymns for Divine Worship, 1867, No. 840, in 5 stanzas of 4 lines. It was supplied to Dr. W. F. Stevenson in manuscript in 6 stanzas for his Hymns for the Church and Home, 1873. The additional stanza (the 4th) given in his Notes is:— As Thou hast placed beyond my reach Thy richest means of grace, Teach me without them, Saviour, teach My soul to see Thy face." The point and meaning of this stanza is explained by the fact that this hymn "was written for one who by illness was prevented joining in the Communion." The hymn was included in The Voice of the Bird, 1875. Mrs. Saxby's hymns are very plaintive and tender. This is explained by her thus:— "I wrote most of my published hymns during a very long and distressing illness, which lasted many years. I thought probably that I was then in the 'Border Land’ and wrote accordingly." Died Mar. 25, 1898. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

He then went on to graduate from Harvard College in 1876 and Andover Seminary in 1879. Dickinson served as pastor of Payson Memorial Church in Portland, Maine and Kirk Street Church in Lowell, Massachusetts before assuming his thirteen-year post at Berkeley Street Church in Boston, MA. in 1887. Under Dickinson's auspices, Berkeley Street Church became Berkeley Temple and greatly expanded its community outreach and so-called "rescue work," including the establishment of New England Kurn Hattin Homes for "homeless and neglected boys and girls" in Dickinson's hometown of Westminster, Vermont. Dickinson passed away in January of 1907 after an illness.
