Author of "Go and the Savior's grace proclaim" in The Standard Church Hymnal Morell, Thomas , was born in 1781, and educated at Homerton College for the Congregational ministry. About 1800 he became Pastor of a Congregational church at St. Neots, Huntingdonshire, where he remained till 1821, when he was appointed divinity tutor at Wymondley Acndemy (subsequently removed to London, and known in later years as the Coward Academy). He retained this appointment till his death in 1840. His Studies of History were published in a series of volumes; and his Christian Pastor (a poem in three books) in 1809. His hymns are not widely known. The best are :— 1. Father of mercies, condescend. Departure of a Missionary. 2. Go, and the Saviour's grace proclaim. Departure of a Missionary. These hymns were given in the Evangelical Magazine Dec, 1818, p. 544, as "Hymns com¬posed for a Missionary Ordination Service. Sung at the Rev. Mr. Morell's Chapel, St. Neots, Oct. 28, 1818, at the ordination of Mr. C. Mault, Missionary to India." Both hymns are signed "M." They were included in Conder's Congregational Hymn Book, 1836, and from thence have passed into other collections. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
