1870 - 1929 Author of "A Light Came Out of Darkness" in The Cyber Hymnal Born: Circa 1870, Campbellford (or Belleville), Ontario, Canada. Died: August 29, 1929, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. By age 11, Hawley was the organist at his local Methodist church in Campbellford, and was leading the choir by age 16. He studied medicine briefly in Toronto, then went to the Conservatory of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. He evidently injured his hand, cutting short a promising musical career, and he worked as a piano tuner instead. However, for several years he served as organist at the First Baptist Church in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. It was there he joined the Salvation Army (SA); he later worked with the SA in Winnipeg and Calgary, and wrote a number of SA songs. --www.hymntime.com/tch

Julia Anne Elliott

1809 - 1841 Person Name: Julia A. Elliott Author of "Hail, thou bright and sacred morn" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book Elliott, Julia Anne, née Marshall, daughter of Mr. John Marshall, of Hallsteads, Ullswater, was married to the Rev. H. V. Elliott (q.v.), in 1833, and died Nov. 3, 1841. Her hymns were contributed to her husband's Psalms & Hymns, 1835, anonymously, but in the Index to the "3rd thousand," 1839, her initials were added. These hymns are eleven in all, and concerning them, Miller has justly said (S. & Songs, p. 482), they "show a most refined poetical taste, and a special faculty for appreciating and expressing, appropriately, phases of thought and feeling that are beautiful, and that might have escaped common observation." Of these hymns the best known are, "Hail, thou bright and sacred morn," “On the dewy breath of even,” and "We love Thee, Lord, yet not alone”(q.v.). The rest are:— 1. Father, if that gracious name. Intercession. 2. Great Creator, who this day. Sunday. 3. I would believe; but my weak heart. Len. 4. My God, and can I linger still. Lent. 5. O not when o'er the trembling soul. Lent. 6. O Thou, who didst this rite reveal. Holy Communion. 7. Soon, too soon, the sweet repose. Sunday Evening. 8. Welcome to me the darkest night. Resignation. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
