Charles Coffin
1676 - 1749 Author of "Come, heavenly Spirit, come, cleansed by Christ's blood" Coffin, Charles, born at Buzaney (Ardennes) in 1676, died 1749, was principal of the college at Beauvais, 1712 (succeeding the historian Rollin), and rector of the University of Paris, 1718. He published in 1727 some, of his Latin poems, for which he was already noted, and in 1736 the bulk of his hymns appeared in the Paris Breviary of that year. In the same year he published them as Hymni Sacri Auctore Carolo Coffin, and in 1755 a complete ed. of his Works was issued in 2 vols. To his Hymni Sacri is prefixed an interesting preface. The whole plan of his hymns, and of the Paris Breviary which he so largely influenced, comes out in his words.
"In his porro scribendis Hymnis non tam poetico indulgendunv spiritui, quam nitoro et pietate consulendum esse existimavi. Pleraque igitur, argumentis convenientia e purissiinis Scripturae Sacrae fontibus deprompsi quac idoneis Ecclesiae cantui numeris alligarem."
His hymns are described by a French critic as having less brilliancy than those of Santüil (q.v.), but more simplicity and unction. They number 100 in the edition of 1736. Translated into English by J. Chandler, I. Williams and others, are noted under their respective Latin first lines. [William T. Brooke]

Warren C. Coffin
1844 - 1929 Composer of "[Rejoice, the Lord is King]" in The Voice of Thanksgiving No. 3 Warren Coffin Born February 25, 1844 in Boscawen, New Hampshire. Died October 2, 1929 in Chicago, Illinois. He spent most of his life in Chicago. He was one of Chicago's well known musicians. For 50 years he directed large church choirs in Chicago. For more than 30 years he was music professor at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. He was also a Reverend. A newspaper clipping that we have about he and his wife's 50th anniversary says that he was a charter member of the Apollo Musical Club and the Imperial Male Quartet. I don't have a lot of info on his religious background. But, we do know that he was a Christian since he is connected with Moody Bible Institute (est. 1886) and probably The Moody Church (est 1864). The Moody Church website today says that they are a non-denominational church. Not sure if has always been non-denominational. I would think not. I have contacted The Moody Church to see what they can tell me about Warren. But I haven't gotten a reply. Probably because they are closed now due to the Coronavirus, like all other churches. When I do hear from them, I'll let you know if I get some new information that we didn't know about. I'm eager to go to The Moody Church the next time I'm in the Chicago area. Most of my family lives in the Chicago suburbs except me. I live in Washington, Missouri.
