Marching onward, marching onward

Author: Isaiah Baltzell

Isaiah Baltzell was born near Frederick City, Maryland, in 1832. He published a number of books of sacred song, and wrote some himself, sometimes contributing the music, other times authoring both words and music. He was partnered, in this endeavour, with editor and song writer Edmund Lorenz. Of interest is his song The Missionary’s Farewell, to be sung on the occasion indicated by the title. --http://wordwisehymns.com/… Go to person page >
