Clare Taylor

1678 - 1778 Hymnal Title: Calvin Hymnary Project Author of "O Lord, the contrite sinner's Friend" Taylor, Clare. Miller, in his Singers and Songs of the Church, 1869, p. 230, says of this hymnwriter, "She is said to have been a member of the Church of England residing in Westminster;" that “she was probably a friend of Zinzendorfs, and much in association with the Moravians," and that "she died in February, 1778." Her original hymns and translations from the German appeared in the Moravian Hymn Book, 1742-89. There are in the 1886 ed. of the same Hymn Book the following original hymns all signed with her name:— 1. All glory be to God on high, Ye sons of Adam, &c. Christmas. (1742.) 2. Behold the loving Son of God. Good Friday. (1742.) 3. Lord, my times are in Thy hand. Death Anticipated. (1789.) 4. Lord, to Thy people aid dispense. Missions. (1789.) 5. O Jesus, Jesus, my good Lord. Lent. (1742.) 6. O Lord, the contrite sinner's Friend. Jesus the Friend. (1742.) 7. Our heavenly Father is not known. God the Father. (1742.) 8. The Cross, the Cross, Oh that's my gain. Good Friday. (1742.) From this "What wondrous cause could move Thy heart?" in Spurgeon's Our Own Hymn Book, 1866, is taken. 9. What praise unto the Lamb is due. Holy Communion. 10. Who can condemn, since Christ hath died? Safety in Christ, 1742. Part of No. 7. In 1865 D. Sedgwick collected 39 of her hymns, and published them as Hymns composed chiefly on the Atonement of Christ and Redemption through His Blood. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
