Bessie Sykes and her husband Seth were traveling evangelists based in Glasgow, Scotland. They traveled around the UK. Seth preached and wrote lyrics to many hymns. Bessie wrote the music and accompanied it on a folding organ. They used lantern slide shows to illustrate their message and draw people to their meetings.
