Anton Gersbach
1808 - 1848 Person Name: A. Gersbach Composer of "CONVERSE" in The Standard Church Hymnal Born: February 21, 1808, Säckingen, Germany.
Died: August 17, 1848.
Son of Müller Gersbach, who was later Rathsherr and Bürgermeister of Säckingen, Anton developed his musical talents early: By age 11, he was already playing the organ for the local cantor. He and his brother later moved to Zürich, where they lived with the Hirzel family. Anton studied music, and sang in Nägeli’s Singgesellschaft. In 1821, he and his brother went to Nuremburg, where he attended the University; from 1822-3 he studied at the University of Halle. After Joseph’s death in 1830, Anton moved to Karlsruhe. He is remembered mainly as a performer and teacher.

John Dobell
1757 - 1840 Person Name: J. Dobell Author of "Now is the accepted time" in The Standard Church Hymnal Dobell, John, b. 1757, d. May, 1840, was a port-gauger under the Board of Excise, at Poole, Dorset, and a person of some local note. In 1806 he published:—
A New Selection of Seven Hundred Evangelical Hymns for Private, Family, and Public Worship (Many Original) from more than two hundred of the best Authors in England, Scotland, Ireland, and America, Arranged in alphabetical order; Intended as a Supplement to Dr. Watts's Psalms and Hymns. By John Dobell. Lond., Williams and Smith, 1806.
Subsequently this Selection was increased to "More than Eight Hundred" hymns, and the wording of the title-page was changed in several instances. Dobell's account of this work is:—
"The hymns here presented to the public I have collected from more than two hundred authors; many of them are taken from Manuscripts which I deemed too valuable to be suffered to remain in obscurity, and some have been supplied by friends. As this work has been the labour of years, and the choice of many thousand hymns, it will, I trust, give satisfaction to the Church of God." Preface, p. iii.
In addition to a work on Baptisms,1807, and another on Humanity, 1812, Dobell also published:—
The Christian's Golden Treasure; or, Gospel Comfort for Doubting Minds, 1823. This work was in two vols., the first of which contained 124 hymns, several of which were by Dobell.
Of this writer's hymns very few are found in modern hymn-books. We have from the 1806 book:—(1) "Come, dearest Lord, and bless this day" (Sunday Morning); (2) "Great Ruler of the earth and skies” (In time of War); (3) "Now is the accepted time," (Invitation) — in common use in Great Britain and America, out of twenty or more. It is not as a hymn-writer, but as a diligent and successful hymnologist, that J. Dobell is best known.

Of old Thy testimonies show
Thy truth eternal stands,
