1865 - 1959 Author of "When Christ was born in Bethlehem" in The Book of Common Praise Housman, Lawrence, author and artist, was born July 18, 1867, at Bromsgrove, Worcs. His devotional poetry is principally in his Spikenard, 1898, and Bethlehem, 1902. To the English Hymnal, 1906, he contributed eight translations (142, 188, 191, 228, 229, 230, 231, 234); also three original hymns, with a fourth previously published, viz.:— 1. Lord God of Hosts, within Whose hand. St. George. 2. The Maker of the sun and moon. Christmas. From Bethlehem, 1902, p. 75. 3. The Saint who first found grace to pen. St. Mark. 4.

Died: February 20, 1959, Glastonbury, Somerset, England. Buried: St. Mary’s, Bathwick, Smallcombe, near Bath. Housman studied art at the Lambeth School of Art and the Royal College of Art. He had great success as an illustrator, but when his eyesight began to fail, he turned to writing books and plays. He wrote 80 books during his lifetime. He often seemed to fall afoul of the censors, though, for religious and political reasons. A committed socialist and pacifist, in 1907, he helped found the Men’s League for Women’s Suffrage. He was also an honorary associate of the Women Writers’ Suffrage League. His works include: Jump-to-Glory Jane, by Meredith Goblin Market, by Christiantina Rossetti, 1893 The End of Elfintown, by Jane Barlow, 1894 Spikenard, 1898 The Sensitive Plant, 1898 Bethlehem, 1902 The Blue Moon, 1904 Angels and Ministers, 1921 Little Plays of St. Francis, 1922 Victoria Regina, 1937 The Unexpected Years, 1937 (autobiography) --www.hymntime.com/tch
