William Henry Monk
1823 - 1889 Person Name: W. H. Monk Composer of "[Thy little one, O Saviour dear]" in Harmonies of Praise William H. Monk (b. Brompton, London, England, 1823; d. London, 1889) is best known for his music editing of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861, 1868; 1875, and 1889 editions). He also adapted music from plainsong and added accompaniments for Introits for Use Throughout the Year, a book issued with that famous hymnal. Beginning in his teenage years, Monk held a number of musical positions. He became choirmaster at King's College in London in 1847 and was organist and choirmaster at St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, from 1852 to 1889, where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. At St. Matthias, Monk also began daily choral services with the choir leading the congregation in music chosen according to the church year, including psalms chanted to plainsong. He composed over fifty hymn tunes and edited The Scottish Hymnal (1872 edition) and Wordsworth's Hymns for the Holy Year (1862) as well as the periodical Parish Choir (1840-1851).

1846 - 1928 Person Name: H. P. Hawkins Author of "Thy little one, O Saviour dear" in The Sunday School Hymnary Hawkins, Hester P., née Lewis, wife of Joshua Hawkins, of Bedford. In 1885, Mrs. Hawkins published The Home Hymn Book, A Manual of Sacred Song for the Family Circle, London, Novello & Co. To this collection she contributed 7 hymns under the signature of "H. P. H." For home use we know of no book of equal comprehensiveness and merit. The music also is well adapted to the family circle.

2. Heavenly Father, Thou hast brought us. Golden Wedding.
3. Kind Shepherd, see Thy little lamb. Evening.
4. O Thou the great Unknown, Unseen. The Thought of God.
5. The twilight softly falling. Sunday Evening.
6. Thy little one, O Saviour dear. Morning.
7. To Thee, the Giver of all good. For Mothers.
Mrs. Hawkins informs me that the following in the Home H. Book, 1885, are also by her:—
8. I come to Thee, my Father. Birthdays.
9. In the Name of God our Father. Beginning of Term.
10. Jesu, loving Saviour. The Love of Jesus.
11. Now the days are dark and dreary. Winter.

There is a bright and happy home. Heaven.
