How deep, how wide His love can flow;
They only fail His love to prove
Who in the ways of sinners rove.

All other pathways end in night.
Walk thou with Him, that way is rest,
All other pathways are unblest.

He will make all things sweet and new,
Will bring new fragrance from each flower,
And hallow every passing hour.

To walk life’s troubled path with Thee:
Come to us now, in converse stay:
And, Oh, walk with us day by day. Languages: English Tune Title: VIATOR

Composer of "VIATOR" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Edwin Paxton Hood
1820 - 1885 Author of "O walk with Jesus, would'st thou know" in Christian Praise Hood, Edwin Paxton, was born in Half-moon Street, London, Oct. 24, 1820. He was self-educated. In 1852 he became the Independent Minister at Nibley, Gloucestershire, where lie remained until 1857, when he removed to Offord Road, London. He held several charges (Brighton, Manchester, &c), the last being Falcon Square, London. He died in Paris, June 12, 1885.
Mr. Hood was a striking and suggestive preacher, and one of the most voluminous writers of the age. His published works, including The Age and its Architects, 1862; Exposition of Swedenborg, 1854; Lamps of the Temple, 1856; Thomas Carlyle, 1875; Oliver Cromwell, 1882, &c, are too numerous to give in detail. He also edited (and was the chief contributor to) The Eclectic Review for 8 years, and The Preacher's Lantern for 2 years.
As a hymn-writer he is best known as the author of hymns for children. These hymns have a freshness and simplicity which are attractive to children. Some of the best and most popular were written for Sunday School Anniversaries at Nibley, 1852-7. He also edited:-
(1) Our Hymn Book (a similar title, but a distinct work from Mr. Spurgeon's Collection). This was published specially for the use of his own congregations, and was enlarged from time to time. 1st ed. Brighton, 1862, enlarged 1868, 1873, and 1879. The last ed. contains 47 of his hymns. (2) The Children's Choir, 1870.
His hymns in common use outside of his own collections are:—
1. Angel of God, thy wings expanded. Missions. In his Our Hymn Book, 1862.
2. Bride of the Lamb, sweet spices bring. Easter. In his Our Hymn Book, 1862.
3. Earth in beauty smiles again. Summer (1852-57).

10. Saviour and Master, these sayings of Thine. The Sand and the Rock. Written at the Portland Breakwater, in the winter of 1858-59, and first published in his first volume of Sermons, 1860, at the close of that on "The Sand and the Rock." He says, “I walked the other day over the Great Breakwater at Portland, and there, whilst the rain descended and the floods came I thought and wrote out these verses." The hymn is in his Our Hymn Book, 1879, Horder's Congregational Hymnal, 1884, &c. It has also been printed on a fly-leaf for use in Portland Prison.
