Henry Mills
1786 - 1867 Person Name: Henry Mills Author of "Jesus sinners doth receive" in Evangelical Lutheran Hymnbook (Lutheran Conference of Missouri and Other States) Mills, Henry, D.D., son of John Mills, was born at Morriston, New Jersey, March 12, 1786, and educated at the New Jersey College, Princeton, where he graduated in 1802. After being engaged in teaching for some time at Morristown and elsewhere, he was ordained Pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Woodbridge, New Jersey, in 1816. On the opening of the Auburn Theological Seminary in 1821, he was appointed Professor of Biblical Criticism and Oriental Languages, from which he retired in 1854. He died at Auburn, June 10, 1867. In 1845 he published Horae Germanicae; A Version of German Hymns. This was enlarged in 1856. The translations are not well done, and very few are now in common use, although 18 and 9 doxologies were given in the Lutheran General Synod's Collection, 1850. Many are noted in the articles on German hymnwriters and hymns throughout this Dictionary. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]
