===============
Whiting, William, was born in Kensington, London, Nov. 1, 1825, and educated at Clapham. He was for several years Master of the Winchester College Choristers' School. His Rural Thoughts and other poems were published in 1851; but contained no hymns. His reputation as a hymnwriter is almost exclusively confined to his “Eternal Father, strong to save". Other hymns by him were contributed to the following collections:—
i. To the 1869 Appendix to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge Psalms & Hymns
1. O Lord the heaven Thy power displays. Evening.
2. Onward through life Thy children stray. Changing Scenes of Life.
ii. To an Appendix to Hymns Ancient & Modern issued by the Clergy of St. Philip's, Clerkenwell, 1868.
3. Jesus, Lord, our childhood's Pattern. Jesus the Example to the Young.
4. Lord God Almighty, Everlasting Father. Holy Trinity.
5. Now the harvest toil is over. Harvest.
6. 0 Father of abounding grace. Consecration of a Church.
7. We thank Thee, Lord, for all. All Saints Day.
iii. To The Hymnary, 1872.
8. Amen, the deed in faith is done. Holy Baptism.
9. Jesus Christ our Saviour. For the Young.
10. Now the billows, strong and dark. For Use at Sea.
11. 0 Father, Who the traveller's way. For Travellers by Land.
12. When Jesus Christ was crucified. Holy Baptism.
Mr. Whiting's hymns, with the exception of his “Eternal Father," &c, have not a wide acceptance. He died in 1878.

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: John Bacchus Dykes, 1823-76 Scripture: Genesis 1:1-8 Hymnal Number: 906 Composer of "MELITA" in Hymnal Supplement 98 As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern.
