U. C. Burnap

1834 - 1900 Composer of "GENUNG" in The New Laudes Domini Burnap ran a dry goods business in Brooklyn, though he graduated from the University of Paris with a music degree, and for 37 years played the organ at the Reformed Church in Brooklyn Heights. He was a prolific composer, and helped edit the following: Hymns of the Church, 1869 Hymns of Prayer and Praise, 1871 Hymns and Songs of Praise, 1874 --The Cyber Hymnal™ There is uncertainty about his middle name. Reynolds and the Library of Congress say it was Christopher. A contemporary obituary relied on by "The Cyber Hymnal™" says it was Cicero. It appears that there was another Uzziah C[icero] Burnap who lived (per LOC) 1794-1854.

Person Name: Unknown Author of "In us the hope of glory" in Hymns and Songs of Praise for Public and Social Worship In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Edward W. Eddis

1825 - 1905 Person Name: E. W. Eddis Author of "In us the hope of glory" in The New Laudes Domini Eddis, Edward William, a member of the Catholic Apostolic Church, commonly known as the "Irvingites," compiled for the use of their congregations, and published in 1864, Hymns for the Use of the Churches (London, Bosworth & Harrison). It contained 205 hymns, of which nineteen were his original compositions, and two translations. The 2nd edition, in a revised form with 320 hymns and 44 doxologies, was published in 1871 (London, J. Strangeways). To this he contributed forty new hymns and one translation, thus making 62 hymns. All these are signed "E. W. Eddis." Very few are found in any other collection. The exceptions include "O brightness of the Immortal Father's Face " (translation from the Greek); "In us the hope of glory" (The Second Advent desired); and "Thou standest at the altar" (Holy Communion). There are other hymns in this collection signed “E.," "C. E.," and "E. E.," which seem to indicate members of his family, but about which we can gain no definite information. The last, "E. E.," is probably his wife, as her name was "Ellen Eddis." -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ============================================================= Eddis, E.
