1802 - 1872 Hymnal Number: 350 Author of "Let us, brothers, let us gladly" in The New Baptist Praise Book Bateman, Henry, a popular writer of hymns for children, was descended from the De Voeux, a Huguenot family. Born on March 6, 1802, in Bunhill Row, Finsbury, he was educated for commercial pursuits, and followed the trade of a timber merchant. He died in 1872. During the greater part of his life he was addicted to the writing of poetry, but his hymns were mostly written between 1856 and 1864. His published works are:— (1) Belgium and Up and Down the Rhine, 1858; (2) Sunday Sunshine: New Hymns and Poems for the Young, 1858; (3) Home Musings: Metrical Lay Sermons, 1862; (4) Heart Melodies: Being 365 New Hymns and Psalms, 1862; (5) Fret Not, and Other Poems, including Hymns with music, 1869. From his Sunday Sunshine (Lond., Nisbet & Co., 1858) the following hymns have come into common use:— 1. A holy and a happy youth. Youthful Piety. 2. A noble river, wide and deep. Finding of Moses. 3. A sparrow with its plain brown coat. Providence. 4. A thought is but a little thing. Little Things. 5. A tranquil heart and pleasant thought. Peace. 6. A pebble in the water. Little Things. 7. Always by day, always by night. Omniscience. 8. And is it true that Jesus came? Good Shepherd. 9. At Jordan John baptizing taught. Whitsuntide. 10. Cross purposes, how sad they are. Duty. 11.

In addition to the foregoing the following from his Heart Melodies, &c. (Lond., Snow, 1862), are also in common use, and have attained to some popularity:— 40. Gracious Saviour, gentle Shepherd [thus before Thee]. Evening. 41. Let us pray, the Lord is willing. Prayer. 42. Was it for me, dear Lord, for me? Good Friday. As will be gathered from the above list of hymns in common use, the Sunday Sunshine has been the most successful of Mr. Bateman's works. This success is due mainly to the fact that the hymns deal with subjects easily treated of in hymns for children. His hymns are hearty and natural in tone. Some of the best of those published in the Sunday Sunshine were given in the Book of Praise for Children, 1875, edited by W. Garrett Holder, and from thence have passed into many collections for children. His best hymn is "Light of the world! Whose kind and gentle care" (q. v.). It is a prayer of more than usual merit for Divine guidance. [Rev. W. Garrett Holder] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
