She hath passed death's chilling billow
Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #958 (1886) Lyrics: 1 She hath passed death's chilling billow,
And gone to rest;
Jesus smoothed her dying pillow,
O slumber blest!

We should not shrink;
Since the mandate is from heaven,
That bids us drink.

To friendship true,
While with feeling hearts we render
This tribute due.

F. E. Belden
1858 - 1945 Composer of "ELLA" in Christ in Song Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also wrote songs for evangelist Billy Sunday. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan.
