Elvina M. Hall › Tunes

Hall, Elvina Mable, was born at Alexandria, Virginia, in 1818; and was married, first to Mr. Hall, and then, in 1885, to the Rev. T. Myers. Her hymn, "I hear the Saviour say" (Christ All and in All), in I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, 1878, is somewhat popular in Great Britain and America. It was "written on the fly-leaf of the New Lute of Zion, in the choir of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Baltimore, in the spring of 1865."
