John Bickersteth
1781 - 1855 Person Name: Bickersteth Hymnal Number: 1033 Author of "With thankful hearts our songs we raise" in Songs for the Sanctuary Bickersteth, John, M.A., son of Henry Bickersteth, surgeon, born at Kirkby-Lonsdale, June, 19, 1781, and educated at the Grammar School of that town, and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated in honours. Taking Holy Orders, he became Vicar of Acton, Suffolk, and subsequently Rector of Sapcote, Leicestershire. He died Oct. 2, 1855. The Dean of Lichfield is his second, and the late Bishop of Ripon his fourth son. In 1819 he published Psalms and Hymns, selected and revised for Public, Social, Family, or Secret Devotion, in which his hymns were included. A fourth edition, much enlarged, appeared in 1832. Of his hymns contributed to his Collection in 1819, the following were transferred to his brother's Christian Psalmody, 1833:—
1. Great God, let children to Thy throne. S. Schools.
2. Hast Thou, holy Lord, Redeemer. H. Communion.
3. Israel's Shepherd, guide me, feed me. H. Communion.
and were thus brought into wider notice than through his own work. No. 3 is sometimes given as "Heavenly Shepherd, guide us, feed us," as in the American Unitarian Hymns of the Spirit, Boston, 1864.

John Moultrie
1799 - 1874 Hymnal Number: 814 Author of "Rejoice in God [Christ] alway" in Songs for the Sanctuary Moultrie, John, M.A., father of Gerard and Mary D. Moultrie, was born Dec. 31, 1799, at London, and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A. 1823), where he was Bell's University Scholar, 1820, and Trinity College Scholar, 1822. Taking Holy Orders in 1825, he was presented the same year by the Earl of Craven to the Rectory of Rugby, where he remained till his death, on Dec. 26, 1874.
His publications included:—
(1) My Brother's Grave, and other Poems, 1837; (2) Dream of Life, Lays of the English Church, &c, 1843; (3) Memoir and Poetical Remains of W. S. Walker, 1852; (4) Sermons, 1852; (5) Altars, Hearths, and Graves, 1854; (6) Psalms and Hymns as Sung in the Parish Church, Rugby, 1851.
In his Preface Mr. Moultrie says of the Psalms & Hymns, 1851:—
"The present collection of Psalms & Hymns is founded on the basis of that which has been in use during the last twelve years in the Parish Church of Rugby, and for which the congregation of that Church are indebted to the kindness and taste of the Rev. H. J. Buckoll."
Further on in the same preface he says:—
"More than twenty original compositions--some altered or abridged from my former publications, others written expressly for the present collection, and (I am sorry to add) on the spur of the moment—-have thus been introduced into company with which they have perhaps but slender claims to associate. Several of these are little more than paraphrases of the Epistles or Gospel for the day."
These hymns, most of which are in Kennedy, 1863, include the following:—
1. Blest are the eyes of those. Gospel, 13 Sunday after Trinity. (The Good Samaritan.)
2. Bring the infant to the font. Holy Baptism.
3. Christ His own Apostles chooseth. St. Andrew.
4. Dear Lord, a lonely life was Thine. Gospel, 4 S. after Epiphany. (Stilling the Tempest.)
5. Friends and parents lingered weeping. Gospel, 24 S. after Trinity. (Raising the Ruler's daughter.)
6. God, Who dost the increase grant. Sexagesima. (The Sower.)
7. In patient faith till Christ shall come. Gospel, 6 S. after Epiphany.
8. In the beaming brow of Moses. Epistle, 12 S. after Trinity.
9. Lord, with glad and grateful spirits. Epistle, 1 S. after Trinity. (Perfect Love.)
10. Meek to suffer, strong to save. St. Mark.
11. Mysterious to the Christian heart. St. Michael and All Angels.
12. No act of sin our Saviour wrought. Collect, 2 S. after Easter. (Christ the Example.)
13. O Lord, a wondrous story. For Sunday Schools.
14. Our mortal eyes are all too dim. St. Stephen.
15. Source of wisdom, past and present. For Sunday Schools.
16. The world may look serene and bright. Circumcision.
17. Thou gavest, Lord, the life we live. Holy Communion.
18. When our hearts with grief are sore. Epistle. Ash Wednesday.
19. Wondrous was Thy path on earth. Gospel, 2 S. after Epiphany. (Marriage in Cana of Galilee.)
These hymns, from the special subjects of which they treat, are of more than ordinary interest to hymnal compilers, and are worthy of attention. Nos. 4, 6, 7, 12, 16, 18, 19, are from his Lays of the English Church, 1843; the rest were written expressly for the Psalms & Hymns, 1851 (S. MSS.).

Jonathan Allen
Hymnal Number: 514 Author of "Sinner [sinners], will you [ye] scorn [slight] the message" in Songs for the Sanctuary Allen, Jonathan. Concerning this hymn-writer, to whom is credited the hymn, "Sinners, will you scorn the message?" we can only say that this hymn appeared in Hymns adapted to Public Worship, collected from various Authors, Exeter, S. Woolmer, 1801, edited by Richard Pearsell Allen, Minister of Castle Street Meeting, Exeter; and that in D. Sedgwick's marked copy of John Dobell's New Selection, &c., 1806, it is attributed to Jonathan Allen. What authority Sedgwick had for this ascription we cannot determine. It is through him that it has gained currency. Allen's hymn, "Sinners, will you scorn, &c," is sometimes given with stanzas i. and ii. transposed, as "Hear the heralds of the Gospel," as in the American Baptist Praise Book, N. Y. 1871. [William T. Brooke]
