U. C. Burnap
1834 - 1900 Person Name: Uzziah Christopher Burnap Composer of "JAKARTA" in The Cyber Hymnal Burnap ran a dry goods business in Brooklyn, though he graduated from the University of Paris with a music degree, and for 37 years played the organ at the Reformed Church in Brooklyn Heights. He was a prolific composer, and helped edit the following:
Hymns of the Church, 1869
Hymns of Prayer and Praise, 1871
Hymns and Songs of Praise, 1874
--The Cyber Hymnal™
There is uncertainty about his middle name. Reynolds and the Library of Congress say it was Christopher. A contemporary obituary relied on by "The Cyber Hymnal™" says it was Cicero. It appears that there was another Uzziah C[icero] Burnap who lived (per LOC) 1794-1854.

Elizabeth Parson
1812 - 1873 Person Name: Elizabeth R. Parson Author of "Jesus, We Love to Meet" in The Cyber Hymnal Parson, Elizabeth, nee Rooker, daughter of the Rev. W. Rooker (for nearly fifty years Congregational Minister at Tavistock), was born at Tavistock, June 5, 1812, and married in 1844 to Mr. T. Edgecombe Parson. She died at Plymouth in 1873. Previous to her marriage (from 1840 to 1844) Mrs. Parson conducted a class for young men and women in the vestry of her father's chapel on Sunday evenings, and to which was given the name of the “Willing Class," because those who came, came "willingly." For this class she wrote from 1840 to 1844 several hymns, some of which came into use through various collections including the Baptist Psalms & Hymns, 1858, and others at a later date. A few years ago 18 of these hymns were collected, and printed for private circulation by one of her old scholars as Willing Class Hymns. The greater part of these hymns have found a place in children's hymn-books, some fifteen collections having one or more therein. For tenderness, "Saviour, round Thy footstool bending," is the most pathetic; and for praise, "Angels round the throne are praising," and "What shall we render?" the most joyous. Mrs. Parson also wrote a few hymns for adults, which have been printed for private use only. In addition to those hymns there are also the following in common use:—
1. Far above the lofty sky. Praise.
2. Father of spirits, we entreat. New Year.
3. Hark ! a distant voice is calling. Missions.
4. Hark ! 'tis the Saviour calls. The Invitation.
5. Is there one heart, dear Saviour here? Passiontide.
6. Jesus, we love to meet. Sunday.
7. Lord, we bend before Thee now. Home Missions, or Prayer Meetings.
8. Lord, we stand before Thy throne. This is an altered form of No. 7.
9. Our Saviour's voice is soft and sweet. Missions.
10. This is God's most holy day. Sunday.
11. Youthful, weak, and unprotected. Self Dedication to Christ.
